Maybe try getting an MEP for Greens/EFA or the Left?

Isn’t the master branch the submissive one? Always behind, getting force fed content from the other branches.

If the IT departments of any major corp allows anyone within their network to enable this feature, they and everyone the work for need a permanent waning label for idiocy and utter incompetence attached to their resume.

I agree that live shows (and buying merch) is the best way to support artists.

But the CDNs required to run a music streaming service are anything but cheap.

I switched to Tidal after Spotify announced the price increase. The catalogue is basically identical, the apps are much more intuitive, and the audio quality is higher (they recently rolled their premium FLAC subscription into the basic one).

I had to retrain the algorithm for a bit, but that was not so difficult. There are services that can migrate/convert playlists which might actually work for favourites as well.

Also, it’s easy easier to download stuff from Tidal, which is very nice for listening to Audiobooks with a dedicated player.

Cheaper labour in the most expensive town in a country that is well known for high labour costs?

They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.

Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

Yaml is honestly just a terrible terrible format that is neither good for humans nor good for machines.

If you brick your car’s firmware, at least you can keep driving without unreasonable levels of difficulty or distraction

That’s impossible for a large portion of safety critical systems. Engines don’t run without a controller, they literally control the fuel injection valves (and have done so for decades). Brake systems have physical failsafes for when the electronics die (I.e. basic hydraulics without the booster), but you should not be able to move a vehicle without a working brake system after it stopped.

The shitton of software running modern cars is there for good reason (at least large chunks of it), lots of which is safety, especially in the drivetrain.

It’s completely different for infotainment, which I agree the vehicle should be able to function without (although the dashboard must work)

Automotive vim when?

I haven’t yet sent my life savings to a Nigerian prince, so there are no scams.

It’s just A finger, really

You just ordered a thousand liters milk.

I think locking apps to only their own files is a terrible idea.

If a program creates unencrypted, unsecured files on disk, those files should absolutely be free game for any other program. Because if they’re not supposed to be read, they should not be unsecured files on disk.

It’s still an entirely pointless waste of energy for digital drug money.

the time limit should be way longer given how long previous versions of Windows have been supported.

What version would that be?

• Windows XP: 2001-10-25 to 2014-04-08, ~12.5 years
• Windows Vista: 2007-01-30 to 2017-04-11, ~10 years
• Windows 7: 2009-10-22 to 2020-01-14, ~10 years
• Windows 8/8.1: 2012-10-26 to 2023-01-10, ~10 years
• Windows 10: 2015-07-29 to 2025-10-14, ~10 years

I found a free and foss alternative to OpenAudible that seems to work fine: https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect

There’s a sister project to convert the aax (m4b) files, but I found that to be unnecessary.

They’re still working out some kinks, but yes, the new UI of Thunderbird 115+ is pretty good.

This is the one I use. It’s FOSS and developed at a university.
