Flug+Mietauto fuer eine Familie ist teurer als Faehre+Benzin+eine Nacht Hotel auf dem Hin/Rueckweg, falls noetig.

Wenn man im Ausland wohnt bewegt man beim Heimatbesuch regelmaessig groessere Gegenstaende, in beide Richtungen.

Ich haette ja gerne Autozuege mit ordentlichem Schlafwagen zwischen Nord- und Sueddeutschland. Gibts praktisch nicht mehr, und bei dem bisschen was es noch gibt ist man dann fuer Auto+Kabine gut 4-stellig dabei - in Finnland bekommt man vergleichbares fuer die Fahrt in den Norden unter 500 EUR hin, und die Kabine ist da komfortabler (Einzelkabine mit eigener Dusche/WC).

Koennte man vielleicht zusammen mit Tempolimit angehen - wir sind so etwa einmal im Jahr im Deutschlandurlaub von Travemuende bis hinter Stuttgart, und spaeter zurueck unterwegs - da merkt man schon ob man da jetzt 160 oder 130 fahren darf.

Not Op, but:

  • Firefox works perfectly fine natively
  • chrome/chromium work perfectly fine natively when started with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
  • emacs since version 29 has the pgtk backend, which works without issues. I've been running emacs from git for about a year before the 29 release for pgtk already
  • anything Qt does wayland natively, unless they're doing some weird stuff
  • same for GTK, only one I can remember right now with problems would me GIMP, but I'm typically using Krita nowadays

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

Did you ever consider using this as opportunity to educate your daughter about ads in general, how some games try to push adds to get you to do something, and also how some games have game mechanics trying to push you to do specific things, and then just let her figure out if those games are worth playing, or not?

She's definitely old enough - I had that discussion with my daughter when she was 5, we have an agreement that we limit the number of games installed on her phone - and the kind of shitty game you're talking about typically gets uninstalled again pretty quickly.

In a few years she'll be able to install stuff by herself - if you never explained to her what and why games/apps are doing she'll not be ready to deal with that, and it'll be out of your control.

I'm aware of that - but I think when you're marketing as Linux / open source friendly you shouldn't be selling those systems.

I might get interested if they ever have a modern AMD system with proper coreboot support - but until then they don't do anything special.

Pretty much the reason I'm not interested in buying their stuff.

I get it as workstation option for very specific purposes - but for 5 years or so you're just better off with an AMD card.

Before that things sucked a bit if you needed 3d performance - I just stopped gaming after I moved off my last voodoo card as I don't support companies with that kind of behaviour.

especially if you have Nvidia

This is something that needs to be highlighted over and over again: Don't buy nvidia if there's ever a chance of running anything but Windows.

Is this the latest "sneaky" way to insist all phones need headphone jacks?

My current phone has an FM radio, and no headphone jack. It uses the headphones as antenna via the USB-C adapter.

Never used it, though - and rarely used radio in any phone which had that feature before that.

Telegram is not Russian. The founder is a Russian - who left Russia about a decade ago after being pushed out of his local Facebook clone (VK) due to not complying with government requests. They nowadays mostly seem to be in Dubai, but as a legal entity hard to locate due to a cat and mouse game they're playing to avoid being reachable for authorities worldwide who want to enforce local laws.
