Allegedly the former. By “allegedly”, I mean that Telegram is definitely uncooperative in moderation of illegal content, the alleged part is that that is the motivation behind the arrest. I also read somewhere that he was accused of tapping into Macron’s manager’s communications, but I can’t find the article and I don’t know how reliable that statement is.

Bishop’s glass is full, Horse’s glass is almost empty.

Yeah, my point was more that both Manjaro and Ubuntu are systematically mismanaged derivatives of brilliant upstream distros with regular blunders in their development process, but with inexplicably large communities.

More like Ubuntu is to Debian what Manjaro is to Arch. And then Linux Mint takes the nice stuff from Ubuntu but does away with the bullshit.

Asus Zenfones are (relatively) small phones and they’re pretty decent.

AFAIK the two are identical, and words such as “how”, “do” and “what” are mostly ignored by the engine. The only content words in both are “apple” “pie” and “recipe”/“cook”.

Well, using a more complex search does improve results…

To me crypto has some genuine projects, although it is dominated by scammers and grifters. Nym, which is a mixnet project, with a token to incentivize people to host nodes, and Stasis Euro, a euro-backed stablecoin, look pretty legitimate. I believe there really are honest, well-intentioned crypto projects, though they are a minority and largely suffer from redundancy or poor implementation.

NFT’s are 100% a scam though.

Perhaps you meant to post an image?

Community systems are not bad, that’s most of Linux, but there needs to be an ethical, FOSS-friendly enterprise system to get corpos invested in Linux and FOSS. Besides, corporate systems usually have massive dev teams and upstream/open-source a lot of their work. As much as I shit on Canonical and Red Hat, they’ve done immense amounts of beneficial work for Linux and FOSS.

Is there any reason (like, at all) for him to insist on Zoom? Also, if he’s more lenient regarding Discord, Revolt is pretty decent.

This is about openSUSE, their free personal desktop offering.

People dunk on Purism and the Librem 5 because:

• Purism is shady AF (Louis Rossmann talking about it. Them being a cult Techlore explaining why Purism is garbage.)
• Their phone is way worse specs than similar products, such as the PinePhone Pro, the Pro¹ X, the Fairphone 4 and the Volla Phone, and for a significantly higher price (in fact, the Librem 5 is more expensive than even the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Pixel 7 Pro).
• Even though they are years behind on their preorders, they are now launching a “new” phone with pretty much the same specs and double the price ani, you guessed it, it’s available for preorder, although it’s not even developed yet.

To summarize, Purism is a cult that sells iPhone 8’s for more than iPhone 15 Pro Max prices and then doesn’t deliver or refund them. My old Huawei P10 Lite has better specs in every single way, and it cost one sixth of their price when it was released six years ago.

I’d suggest Jitsi as an alternative to Zoom.

To add to Inkscape and GIMP, Krita is also pretty damn nice.

I’ll definitely give it a try, thanks! I tend to categorise all CLI editors in my head as either Emacs-like or Vim-like, based mostly on keyboard shortcuts. Nano’s shortcuts look more like Emacs than like Vim, so, Emacs Lite.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up!

Cinnamon is hands down my favourite DE. I always see people talking about GNOME and KDE, to me Cinnamon is the best of both worlds. Strongly recommend it with the Orchis GTK theme, which is made for GNOME but works fine on Cinnamon.

My favourite graphical app in the more traditional sense is Firefox. If CLI apps are allowed, I’m a big fan of GNU Nano, a CLI-based minimalistic editor, basically Emacs Lite.
