Yes. That was it. Don’t know why the setting changed.

Actually, what we probably want is something like openSUSE MicroOS with containers based on Nix or Guix.

Best would be if openSUSE simply adopted Nix/Guix for container configuration.

Don’t forget about Nix and Guix.

I think it makes great sense to use Nix (or better Guix). The users are not expected to do any configurations. They basically need a browser and maybe a text editor if it’s the public sector.

Also, you can run Nix or Guix on basically any other dist. Which is very helpful for reproducible deployments.

Ubuntu doesn’t make any sense. Better use Debian in that case. We don’t need to give yet another eccentric South African billionaire more power.

SUSE is owned by the Swedish venture capital firm EQT. For better or worse. All software has “ties” to the US. Remember there are lots of good people in the US as well. Everything isn’t MAGA or tech feudalism.

I agree. Most Linux distributions have their base within the EU. Just dumb to bring a new Fedora based dist to the table. Debian is also very connected to the EU and France, even though the SPI is registered within the US.

One could push for The Linux Foundation to to move their HQ to the EU. If that changes anything. I guess it depends on if Linus resigns or wants to move back to Finland.

Yes.

What languages and patterns will be considered woke?

For sure memory safety and dependent types. C++ will probably be shoved down our throats.

If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.

Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.

Fuck Reddit.

The constitution means whatever the guy with the biggest guns says it means.

It is impossible to write an eternal constitution. Believing that is the biggest flaw of the American mindset.

Hyfsat framgångsrik manlig kulturarbetare som blivit intresserad av politik relativt sent i livet. Viss ekonomisk framgång gör att han lägger stor vikt vid sina pubertala insikter om nationalekonomi och politik. I vanlig ordning leder detta till någon form av högerlibertarianism. Men han växer nog upp snart. Om han inte hinner bli fascist eller feodalist innan dess.

Totally agree. The majority of Americans are great people. Not everyone is MAGA. We need to support the good ones. Sanctions and boycotts tend to unite.

One exception would be if the project imposse a security risk because key people and servers, within the US, may be blackmailed or pushed by the new administration. We’re not there yet though. And I hope these projects and people migrate if this becomes the case.

Also, FOSS projects run by big tech are probably also wise to avoid for strategic reasons.

The author mixing causality and correlation. Voters did not ditch SPD (or CDU) because they adopted a more negative stance on immigration. Rather the opposite. The main reason was of course that Scholz is a weak leader AND that Scholz and SPD hasn’t been able to turn the sinking ship that is Germany (which would require that SPD drop their neoliberal/third way agenda). Same goes for CDU but they had the benefit of being part of the pre-election opposition.

Germany need to reform their economic policy so that the government can take huge loans and invest in defense, infrastructure and energy. Things will be tough but at least there’s one single obvious solution. If Germany (CDU + SPD) don’t, AfD will take over and Europe will experience something like the 1930s all over again.

I stopped using Nextcloud a couple of years ago after it corrupted my encrypted storage. I’m giving it a try again because of political emergency. But we sure need a long term replacement. Written in Rust or some other sane language.

Ny konventionell kärnkraft i Sverige kommer aldrig att hända. Det är verkligen helt omöjligt. Släpp det och försöka istället att hitta en bred kompromiss som bygger på 100% SMR och kostar 1/10. Så kan vi släppa den här hjärndöda debatten. SMR kan gå på export till platser där elpriset är högt, ifall elpriset är för lågt för drift i Sverige. Eventuell effektbrist och höga elpriser botas enklast och billigast med mindre export och/eller förändrad prissättning.

Just buy a Steam Deck instead.
