Hopefully some better advice comes along that doesn’t involve compromising your ideals, which is what I’m about to suggest.
It seems to me the most likely way to meet likeminded people is to find groups and events in your area. And you’re going to have the most luck with those big privacy invading social media services. It sucks, yes. But it also increases your chances of creating local friendships.
“Do you want this old thing?” My uncle asked, pulling the old Game Boy from an end table drawer. “Your cousin didn’t want it anymore so I’ve kept it. Your aunt and I played Tetris on it for years, but now the screen’s all messed up and the buttons hardly work.”...
I wonder how repairable and maintainable these will be as compared to EV’s from other markets and if replacement batteries will be available as the original ones reach the end of their useful life.
If these concerns end up being valid, and the tariffs are large enough that these cars aren’t priced particularly competitively, that’d be enough for this EV consumer to pass it up for his next vehicle. Will be interested to see how it plays out.
Edit: Wanted to say I’m not against Chinese EV’s. If it ends up making sense to get one, I will.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves.

Strange New Worlds feels a lot like older Trek. But if your feelings about the other recent series have soured you to the point of being unwilling to try another series, that’s your perogative. But I think you’re missing out.
Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
You should check protondb and see if your games of choice are supported, if you’ve not done so already.
I completely jumped ship from Windows the better part of a year ago now and haven’t encountered a single game that didn’t run, at the least, reasonably well. And usually just fine OOB. Though ymmv of course.
“Peak Windows” is a fun one to ponder. I’d probably pick XP for fairly high reliability and fairly low bloat. Or 2000 if taking business oriented versions in to consideration.
I ordered my Playdate last week, and it arrived today. I am having a blast with it so far. Highly recommend it. The build quality is really solid, and the software is snappy and fast. Seriously, get yourself one of these.
Many state and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon operate with the software of the US corporation. It makes them vulnerable for hackers and spies, violates European public procurement law, blocks technical progress and costs Europe dearly.

German Bundestag have therefore repeatedly called for state IT systems to be converted to open source software that can be tested by Europe’s own security authorities.
The idea of all the governing bodies of an entire continent doing this and collectively giving Microsoft the middle finger pleases me.

Re: cell phone scanning. I’ve seen these camera based book scanners popping up recently. I’ve never used one so I can’t comment on how good they are, but when I read your workflow it occured to me it was worth mentioning. Here’s a search result I arbitrarily picked listing some.
I’ve used to be able to play this game just fine at around medium graphic settings through Proton (GE), but today when I launched it again after a while the performance was just really poor....
I had the same problem with enshrouded, including desktop sluggishness. I “fixed” it by fiddling with detail settings until I found one thing that had a significant performance impact. I want to say it was something to do with shadows? I’ll try to remember to look when I’m at my desk. Hopefully someone has a better answer/suggestion, but something to try.
Also, did vulkan shaders run and complete? Mine don’t on Enshrouded, get stuck at 99%. I know that can have a performance impact.
I’m guily of the hopping on the bandwagon from Void to NixOS. But out of curiosity for NixOS not frustration over Void. Void is awesome, it fits the completely subjective picture in my head of what Linux should be.
It doesn’t copy data, no. Symlink is short for symbolic link. So it’s a pointer to another location. But it might be useful for you. Taking a guess at your goal, here’s a relevant example.
Say you moved all of your emulation stuff stored under /media/largehdd/retroarch. You could then symlink that directory to ~/.config/retroarch like so:
I was EV shopping five years ago and I chose not to buy a Tesla because the company was too new, wanted to go with a more established company. Now I wouldn’t buy one because of him. So as far as this individual potential consumer goes, yep.
I agree with you. The ozone layer is a great example of this being successful. And there are other examples of this kind of issue elsewhere. Like the we have to push for user repair rights or against planned obsolescence (which one could argue this is planned obsolescence, in thinking about it).
A small number of informed users won’t disincentiveize companies from abusing the masses. Because most companies are garbage so of course they will if they can. And regulations are the solution. I’m not suggesting we ignore that. But those of us who are informed can still incentiveize those companies that do treat their customers well in the interim.
I concede to the point though. I said, in effect, that supporting businesses that treat us well will help. But I suppose it’s more accurate to say that will, at best, stop things from getting worse.
