The thought that he could actually somehow help the AfD to victory scares the hell out of me. Once they are in power, they will not voluntarily give it up again. We have to stop them before the elections, by any means necessary.

Get your shit together and ban the god damn Nazis already.

Or filled with hate. Unfortunately, a family member recently joined them. Someone who made his Abitur with grade of 1.0. This is pretty much the best school-graduation possible in Germany. And he has a Master's degree.

Highly intelligent but hates foreigners because he had a few bad experiences in his youth. That seems to be enough for some. Very very sad.

Most webservers run Ubuntu and it is the default OS for the overwhelming amount of cloud providers. Some run Debian though. Most enterprise applications run Red Hat or CentOS.

I never heard of OmniOS. Quick search says it is a distant descendant of OpenSolaris.

Given how rare that was already used back in its time and how practically nullexistent the community is for it (compared to Linux) I can say with high confidence the users are limited to a few enthusiasts and hobbyists.

Alpine is a special case and is indeed quite useful on VMs or IoT devices. I used it successful as base for a taped-together home automation server on a repurposed android phone.

No? Unix is not a thing anymore. There are some rare edgecases with some older systems still running a variant like AIX or HP-UX but that is below 1%.

80% of what we call "cloud" is Linux and ~65% of all Websites run on Linux. The rest is Windows and maybe 0.5% some variant of BSD.

That's me with SNES emulators..

Well, you can't see the stars from a lot of places. I live in a small town here, but I'm surrounded by large industrial cities that are always very well lit. It's very rare to see the stars because the bright city lights outglow them. Unfortunately, light pollution is a real problem.

I think the first time I actually saw a full starry sky was on vacation in an area far away from any cities. I was almost 20.

Why photon? alexandrite is insanely much better imho: https://a.lemmy.world/

Wikipedia does not need your money. They were 11 million in the plus last year and sitting on a 250 million usd reserve.

give your money to archive.org instead.

Hey thank you, I feel honored!

I just leave one quote here:

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness in the United States.

afaik foobar2000 works flawless via wine. it is even in the AUR (if you are an Arch user): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foobar2000

What device exactly? e.g. i could update my Samsung NVMe firmware with nvme-cli without any problems.

Perhaps a greeting to the Polish neighbors who have already suffered under russia, hate russia and are very supportive of Ukraine.

Is VoLTE not supported by default on GOS?

Yes and no. e.g. see https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-functionality

Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, Visual Voicemail, MMS, SMS, Calling and 5G (SA and NSA) all are supported, however some functionality may not be usable due to Google not supporting carriers on the stock OS officially or due to GrapheneOS not shipping proprietary apps required in order for this functionality to work on some carriers.

Generally 5G, SMS, MMS, Calls and VoLTE will work fine on GrapheneOS with officially supported carriers by Google.

Some carriers may restrict functionality, such as VoLTE, on imported Pixel devices as they only whitelist the IMEI ranges of Pixel device SKUs which were sold locally.

And https://grapheneos.org/usage#lte-only-mode

VoLTE / VoWi-Fi works on GrapheneOS for most carriers unless they restrict it to carrier phones.

So.. it depends

If your carrier is official supported by google, your carrier itself supports it and your device is not imported, it is likely to work.

I thought the idea of cassette futurism is to show fictitious retrofuturistic tech. Specifically how 70s and 80s tech would look like in the (far-) future. and not how the actual tech looked in that time period, no matter how futuristic it looked back then.

What i expected to see was Alien and Blade Runner aesthetics and not GameBoy and Commodore. As it is now, it is simply “pictures of old tech”.

My knowledge of Star Wars lore is extremely spotty, but I would guess through Palpatine, no? He seems like an "cheat death" expert.

Well kinda. The Mozilla "Project" goes back to 1998. The Mozilla "Foundation" to 2003. As said, Phoenix was released in 2002 and then renamed to Firefox in 2004.

But in that 4 years they worked on the Netscape code to make Phoenix, they were as well funded by AOL, or not?

Is there even a "before"? The very first release of Firefox was in 2004. Google started paying Mozilla in 2004. The only time there was no funding from Google was 2014-2017. In that time Yahoo took over that part.

There was however the 2 year period from 2002 - 2004 when Firefox was still "Phoenix" which was mostly funded by AOL.

To my knowledge, there is not a single moment in the life of Firefox when it has had to get by completely without external funding. And 95% of that time, it was Google.
