Most alternative video platforms except peertube are crawling with Nazis and antivaxxer. Odyssey, Rumble, Bitchute...
Basically that's what happens when you make a point of absolute freedom of speech... You get all the people noone else wants to touch.
If they plan to avoid products from any and all countries that don't stand up to Israel, they're going to have to learn to be very frugal.
Not really. I lived in the Netherlands for a decade. I can promise you the Dutch don't mind.
Actually, I think the expression "doing Dutch" fits them pretty well to this day.
I have lots of complaints about DOP/PDO, but on the other hand it has its features.
While it's true that, to paraphrase Vesper Lynd, there is parmigiano, and there is parmigiano, and I prefer the latter kind... The worst parmigiano I can buy in EU is still damn good cheese.
I see here no-one has a clue and expects Italian farmers to behave like american businesses, so I'll have to explain. The ideology of Italian farmers (and pretty much all euro farmers) is pretty ugly, but also different from your typical murican grift.
In the specific case, Parmigiano-Reggiano producers are obsessed with the idea that they are losing billions to "Italian sounding" products like american Parmesan. Which they believe are sold interchangeably.
The thing that guarantees the absence of fraudolent data is that only "legal" Parmigiano producers from the Modena-Reggio-Parma area would be allowed to enter data in the system, and your american counterfeit Parmesan would be barred. Of course such a system is blind to the fact that they themselves are likely lying about the origin of their milk, but that's a feature, not a bug.
Unfortunately this is not even peak farmer craziness around here, but that's a different story (the farmer parties e.g. the dutch one are really ugly).
And this is all beside the obvious fact that Parmigiano-Reggiano is indeed the finest cheese in the world, so far ahead of the Parmesan competition that no person could mistake one for the other in a blind test. And the French and Dutch can bite me.
Of course I love other people telling me what I am or am not supposed to want out of my tech. That's why I exclusively use Apple products. Oh wait, I actually don't.
...
And BTW, this is in fact a shitty joke, because even iPhones and Pixels and Teslas actually let you set a charging limit.
It is definitely an overreaction.
The rational part was that I have to mantain his installation anyway. I have a lot of experience with KDE, and having seen trouble with GNOME from the get go, I ran back to the safe choice.
I don't know... Friday I installed Linux on my dad's "new" Thinkpad T495.
I tried to go with Gnome. It's supposed to be the user friendly one, right?
First thing I want to do is change the charging limit of the battery to 80%. It's not impossible to replace the battery, but it would be nice to not blow it too fast.
After 20m of trying and failing I switched to KDE, where the whole thing was 3 clicks.
And even if I didn't know how to do it, the systemsettings window has a search function that will get you the right option in a split second.
As far as I can tell, the closest thing to a European supplier of ereaders is Pocketbook. They have much better privacy policies than most of their competition. From what I gather most of their line up is pretty good, I didn't read great things on their note-taking 10" device when I checked it around Christmas time (pretty slow, apparently).
Tolino devices are for the most part rebranded Kobos, though I'm not sure how much the firmware differs, and it may very useful if you desire a high Integration wirh the european bookstores, which should at least have to respect GDPR to a meaningful degree.
All non-kindle eBook stores use the same Adobe DRM anyway.
On any ereader, the first thing I would do is still install Koreader right away.
Are we really doing the whole "this community based project producing privacy friendly 100% offline app is from country X"?
By the look of it the original devs are from Belarus, and are now living elsewhere, including at least one in Switzerland.
So what?
Yeah, IMAP is the way.
Fira Code is seriously awesome. I love how it is delightfully quirky. Not too much, just enough to give it plenty of character without becoming weird, annoying, or hard to read.
I also really like how it is more wide than most. If I'm supposed to finish all my lines at 80 characters there's no point in using something that condensed.
Actually, I would really like to find a similarly non-bland proportional character to use beside it.
