I wish Mozilla would just debloat the browser, focus on performance and making browsing a good experience. But unfortunately their revenue situation is bad. At this stage, they won't even manage to survive through donations after annoying their main user base.

Man I just wish there were better alternatives to MasterCard and Visa.

I'm quite unhappy with spotify. I don't care about the price, but it keeps repeating the same and same music again, and the percentage of crappy AI music is increasing. You can clearly hear it. Their client isn't open source, and it's just a wrapped website. It sucks.

I mean, I am all in for labeling, but banning it? Is that what's happening? why would anyone do that

I am Swiss myself and I feel like things are changing since Trumps second term, at least my friends seek closer ties to Europe now.

Proton gives me a bad feeling in the stomach, I would encourage people to not trust it. The guy is either a big Trump fan or most of his customers are from that base. The best option for e-mail is selfhost + pgp, the second best option are the various small companies offering email all across Europe.

They care about doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money.

I mean that's what capitalism does in a nutshell. Lower costs and increase the price. It's optimized for profit, not for the best product, unfortunately. The only thing that should keep it within lines is competition, but if the competition isn't any better it won't help

I think one of the main issues is that most of his voters probably just don't care about it at all

Jaja, die wollen halt ihre 30% im PlayStore abkassieren. Wird wohl als nächstes ein Volla-phone oder ein anderes Linux Telefon für mich

In my opinion, if you want to have a real impact, it is probably more effective if you buy European things instead. My arguments are:

1. American movies and music also push the American narrative onto Europe and acts as propaganda
2. If you pirate stuff like Windows, you will automatically subject to American control - since they decide what software you can run on their operating system and what stuff you see in the Microsoft store. Therefore I would claim it is better to switch to Linux in that case. This is true at least in some way for a lot of software, including Office365, Apple stuff etc.
3. If you buy European things you directly support European companies, which then have more money to create new products and they get better chances in raising money from investors as well.

I read that this is actually coming. I forgot what it was called though. Fingers crossed.

I would really like to know what EXACTLY they are doing, this is so vaguely written, that I couldn't even judge whether this exists at all or not

um genau zu sein, lobt er Ihn dass unter dessen erster Amtszeit Ermittlungen und Verfahren gegen Big-Tech-Unternehmen wie Google, Facebook, Amazon usw. angestoßen wurden, um deren Marktmacht einzuschränken.

Auch ein Blindes Huhn findet mal ein Korn.

Er hat auch gesagt, dass Trump die europäische tech Souveränität beschleunigt - womit er bis jetzt wohl recht behalten dürfte...

Trump ist so unfähig dass er Europa teilweise hilft :)

Well this is obviously personal to some degree, but for me it would be to fix bugs, don't crash, dont make me restart after an update and lose my incognito tabs, focus on being w3c compliant, block ads, maybe allow blocking annoying cookie banners and maybe allow good keyboard navigation. I like some features other browsers have, such as integrated tor browsing - but since I am not a big fan of bloat, I'm not sure whether that should be handled outside of the browser

I learned a bit of rust and I think it's just about getting used to it. It's fairly subjective, and people say the same about C++. I also prefer the C syntax because I find it's simplicity extremely elegant and prefer it to have fewer features. And I like it for it's consistency, on linux the FHS is based up on C, and it just somewhat feels ugly to break that consistency.

But I also acknowledge the advantages of rust.

thanks! reading my comment again I feel the need to highlight that I did not try to imply it is not happening, I just let out some frustration about the article not being specific enough for my taste

just rename the file and submit it as a .docx, it's their fault

OpenSCAD is different but also awesome: https://openscad.org/

it's somehow scary how many overlaps there are with falling empires from the past, I miss the USA that used to be

thanks

maybe we can go even further back in time and make sure it's not born at all?
