  • Have you considered that you can be attracted to more than one thing, and that this may evolve over time? You don't expect people to be like 'I'm gay now' at age 12 and then automatically have zero interest in anything else, do you?

  • I mean, why support another API if you have already implemented one, right? Pretty sure there is a Flatpak Version of Proton, wo you can somehow bundle it as well

  • Bruh, you need a new name. "EU OS" is both terribly bland and super hard to pronounce. I guess they got screwed by EndeavourOS and e/OS already occupying EOS already, but you can do better. Let me try:

    EurOS (self-explanatory) Ios (as a play on Io, the mythological ancestor of Europa and, in my humble opinion, a brilliant mocking of iOS) BoIS (Boring Independence System... Why yes, I do like Rust and Arch, how did you know?) PlutOS (Lowest layer, ruler of the underworld, get it? Get it? Okay, it mainly sounds cool.)

  • ... That's because it comes with vanilla android, unless you buy the e/OS version or flash it yourself

  • Probably don't want to play graphics heavy games on it. For everything else it's pretty much like any other phone. Although of course it's not quite as premium as flagship phones. Hardware wise, a Pixel 8 leaves it in the dust. But you can't swap your battery or really anything on that one.

  • Can we please just ban distro war ragebait?

    It's 2025 and I'm sick and tired of it. You can feel cool for using a specific distro for all I care, you are embarrassing yourself at worst. You are toxic for shitting on other distros or creating an adversarial narrative tho

  • I mean, good for him I guess? Comparing Mint to Arch is about as pointless as comparing Mint to headless Debian.

  • I hate the CxU as much as anyone else, but as far as my understanding goes, and in fairness to them, the 5-year plan is still more generous than what most other countries offer

  • According to whom? Russia?

  • Yeah, Element is super easy to use.

    You just need to chose a Matrix instance, create an account with username and password that have nothing to do with what follows, log in (not that), generate keys, ideally back up those keys (which you could ignore, but you are prompted to), then it bothers you with cross-signing (which you can also ignore, except you kinda can't, depending on you contacts, so log in again and confirm the devices), then chose another, unrelated instance to be discoverable via mail/phone (which again is optional, except if you want to be or don't want to explain how adding via domain + name works), than add mail or phone number and activate it and boom, you are golden. Except you are not, because if you want Element X, well, you still have no push notifications, which just require you to... Oh, create another account, neat!

    Meanwhile on Signal you do what? Punch in your number, confirm, optionally set a PIN, optionally enable backups, done. Yeah, that's not as private, and missing online massage backups, I know, but it's also a 1-3 step setup without any alarming prompts, telling you to do non-straightforward stuff that could very well compromise your privacy. Or having to dig through options and make choices and handle keys you don't understand.

    Do you need a reminder that 123456789 is a popular password and 2FA commonly considered a nuisance? Matrix is complicated enough to confuse even (non-ITSec) IT people.

    As a professional software developer, I consider Matrix/Element to be quite user-unfriendly (and anecdotally also quite buggy)

    Edit: Some clarifications. Describing this easy process was kinda confusing for silly ol' me

  • Does borg support rclone? Might be an interesting addition to adapt that chain for cloud storage solutions

  • Conversations is very simple

  • There are some fairly good solutions tho. Matrix is still kinda half-baked (specifically thinking about 2.0 and Element X) and Conversations has limited capabilities, but they are fairly easy to use

    Edit: Although I would really wish Matrix had a 'normie-mode', with secure and reasonably easy to handle defaults

  • So supporting far-right narratives and being blatantly populistic only to then backtrack on a lot they have said doesn't seem to work out for the conservatives? Wow, colour me surprised, no one could have seen this coming, my flabber is totally gasted

  • Now that's one hell of a detail for OP to leave out of the summary lol

  • Oh, then the most heavy version of Garuda Linux is for you. I think it used to come with close to 2000

  • The problem is that it's not as profitable as renewables. If you push this, it will be at the cost of those.

  • It's more expensive than the alternatives, and comes with additional downsides. There is no good reason to be pro nuclear, unless you need a lot of power for a long time in a tight space. So a ship or a space station for example.

  • Which outlines why you don't do majority-vote politics. There is zero interest by private entities to restart nuclear in Germany. Why? Because it makes zero sense.

    No one wants to front the money, no one wants to buy overpriced nuclear power, no one wants the waste, no one wants a responsibility for decades and I bet you, if you asked the people on the poll whether they want to live near a plant or waste facility, almost everyone is going to say no.

    The sole reason for (modern) nuclear power is high reliability at very low emissions and much energy per space. You know what can also do this? A battery.

    If you want to install state-of-the-art molten salt SMRs as high-reliability baseline supply for network infrastructure and hospitals, go for it. But don't try to sell me a super expensive water boiler as miracle technology.
