No thank you.

one less connector to handle which also limits how slim a phone can be.

The headphone jack is 3.5mm. iPhones are ~7.5mm thick, more than double. The smallest phone available on the market is 4.2mm.

LunaTask

What system?

The operating system?

Is it part of "the distro"?

The NextCloud app does not come packaged as part of "the distro" and is not integrated into the system settings, so obviously not.

Really? Even on Bazzite

Yes, really.

This argument is dumb. I'm done.

I didn't "expect" anything, I'm just clarifying the facts of the situation.

And the software providing the calendar and contacts features can be uninstalled

I don't understand what that has to do with anything. You can uninstall the entire DE if you want to.

What's the distinction you're making?

One is integrated into the system and the other is not? I thought that was pretty clear...?

It doesn't make nextcloud any more centrally integrated than steam is.

Steam is not integrated. At all.

I read the entire thing. I don't need it explained to me. It's clear just by looking at it that they're targeting all encrypted communications.

And they would not have been able to convince a judge the news application guardian is a terrorist tool.

I think it's pretty obvious that they could.

LOL this article cites ZDNet, which cites thelocal.dk, which cites politiken.dk, which is written in Danish and paywalled so....I think this is the best source we're going to get:

[Denmark’s Minister for Digitisation Caroline] Stage confirmed the strategy in an interview with newspaper Politiken in which she said that Microsoft products are to be phased out at the Ministry of Digitisation.

So, not the entire gov, just one branch.

That's up to you. I just don't like to see it downplayed.

I mean there are some keywords and phrases in the actual textbook definition here like "trolling", "harrassment", "incessant bad-faith invitations". It's a legitimate thing, but I almost always see it being used illegitimately by someone to attack another who is simply asking them to back up their statements. For example:

A: statement

B: What is your source for this statement?

A: sToP sEaLiOnIng!!!

I joke. Apple has gotten a lot better about giving options in recent years.

It's actually a strategy of spreading bullshit and then somehow blaming the person who asks you to back it up.

That's what I'm also talking about.

Yeah but contrary to these listed, the judge know the guardian is a newspaper

The logic does not check out. Signal isn't going to integrate a news section and then suddenly be exempt from this regulation.

By this logic Steam is "integrated into the distro" on distros like Bazzite

Steam does not integrate into the calendar, contacts, filesystem, etc.

What's "integrated" doesn't really tell anyone anything.

Except that it's integrated...?

it's much more useful to tell people "KDE provides integration with this thing"

But it's not, because it's not limited to KDE. They pretty much all do.

What's the difference? If you delete the file on 1 device it gets deleted on every device who shares the directory...

1. That's not correct. SyncThing has versioning
2. That's not a necessary component of "the cloud".

Let OP answer the question, please.

And doin' 1 way sync is still not a cloud service !

It's not 1 way sync. Please look up what you're talking about before speaking.

That "usually" is doing a lot of heavy lifting

I can only speak to my experience. And in my experience pretty much every distro has this built in. I think its actually built into the DE.

I tried looking into the extent of the integration but there wasn't a lot of information and I don't use it for those things anyway but I'm pretty sure it at least does file sync, contacts and calendar.

Anyway, this is a KDE feature. Not "integrated into the distro".

KDE is part of the distro.

It's not hard to manufacture a headphone jack. We've been doing it since the 80s. Probably costs them a penny BOM.

I have like a dozen pairs of headphones

Not having a headphone jack is just a slap in the face from a company whose whole image is supposed to be longevity and eco-friendly.
