Don’t get me wrong, I agree that sometimes freedom has to fight for itself

have to defend democracy or it will be eroded

Are we sure this is going to happen? Or it is possible that we got convinced on that by people who don’t care about democracy, only want to be in charge?

Could you elaborate on this angle? I’m not very well versed in the rights of companies operating in the EU, but I’m unsure “freedom of speech” is one of them.

I rather mean “political discourse”

There was Twitter. Apart from advertising, the very good thing it brought was free access to information. But not only getting it, also sharing. So we knew about for example Arab Spring or Umbrella protests and more or less what is going on, before news decided to tell us and how to tell us

Then came Musk, all in white, saying that moderation on Twitter is biased and he’s going to bring it more freedom of speech

Some time passes and let’s say that now EU does ban X. What’s the next logical thing he’ll say?

I think it might be something like “see? EU banned X because they didn’t like the truth. For the truth, come to me”. I’m afraid that banning would rather give him power and echo chamber, rather than fixing what is going on

I’m not against this angle. But IMO evangelization and conversions only really worked when backed by the state

My approach is calmly keep using free platforms, keep degoogling, when sharing information, share the links from those free platforms, so it keeps pinging in general consciousness that these exist. So the next time everyone does suprised pikachu face to what extent our data is used against us, you don’t have to say “see? I told you”. They come to you asking how to do this, what are the limitations and realities of getting free etc

But, of course, as with everything, diversity is a strength. Some of us should fight, some of us stay calm and keep going on
I think

Maybe the solution is to put a restriction on business, news agencies, and government services from using it?

But that opens another can of worms. A precedence for a governing body to say which platforms can be used for reaching your audience. I’m afraid the change will have to come from the bottom

If anything, I’d phrase it “public service messaging has to operate on platforms which don’t require an account to read”. But that doesn’t solve the problem of general culture on the service

See? Saved you the ticket!

I don’t know

Wouldn’t that enable an angle of “martyr for freedom of speech”?

And while I agree that it stopped being what it was and we can’t rely on it anymore, wouldn’t that separate EU from the rest of the world given current market share?

In my opinion: abandon - yes. Ban - no

Oh, we’ll do. We’ll build domed enclaves with filtrated air and start selling portable gas tanks with breathing mix
You can even have a strawberry flavour!

Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure

Personally I’m impressed it took them so long to start driving it to the ground

I moved to Codeberg

Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home

No idea, sorry. I’ve switched to trizen when lack of development on pacmatic became an issue, few years ago

That might be a good idea, true. I haven’t payed attention to its updates. But then, I also haven’t had any issues with trizen last few years

Are you looking for this?

And sorry but… RTFM ;)

And when you’re ready, I suggest trizen for AUR management

EDIT: yeah, you can use npm, rpm, deb, snap, etc. But from my experience using the packages and package manager from the distro you’re using breaks less often. Only python packages in a venv I’d consider an exception.
And in case of Arch, if you really can’t wait a few days for the newest version of a thing, that’s what AUR *-git packages are for

your everyday web browser

I only see chromium referenced, where’s firefox?

But then that is for desktop Firefox, not mobile. Right?

This is on mobile?

over 450 add-ons

But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better

So it’s not like: when I affect the hue (some attribute) of my half, the other half will change too? That has always been my understanding of it

0_o but you do need to configure a bunch of stuff in the kernel for X.org to work

I’m guessing that you’ve been using kernels from packages provided by your distribution and its maintainers simply haven’t decided yet that Wayland is used wide enough to put things it needs into default kernel. But that’s just a matter of time.
On distribution I use, for example, I did not have to compile my own kernel when I decided to check Wayland out. But that’s only because kernel package maintainers of my distribution have decided to enable it earlier

Regarding Wayland, looking at this it seems that it might be pretty straightforward but then for example sway seems to be defining seats a little bit different. So it might require some tinkering in the end, depending which compositor you decide to use.
Loginctl seems to be X/Wayland independent and useful in both.

From what I’ve found it seems that there are more questions on the internet regarding something not working well in multi-seat or needing a patch for that, than how to set the multi-seat up. Situations like this usually mean that setting this thing up is quite straightforward. It might also be a niche, though

Of course. And you know where is the end of this line? When we are allowed to rent (DRM) the games for absurd amount of money or for a sane one but with ads every 5 minutes. Add a microtransaction that blocks ads for 15 minutes in MMOs to the mix and maybe have less ads shown on big streamers’ accounts so it doesn’t look that bad on let’s plays
