Where’s the conspiracy nut who thinks that Putin is saving the western world from the evil, adrenochrome huffing elites?

Die Euro-Uschi zur Lage der Union (ec.europa.eu) German

Sehr bezeichnend finde ich ihr Chinabashing. Es ist ja nicht so, dass es an der chinesischen Wirtschaft und Regierung (gehört ja eher irgendwie zusammen) nichts auszusetzen gäbe. Da gibt es KZs in denen die Uyguren eingesperrt werden z. B. Man könnte da ja etwas dagegen sagen. Aber nein, die Euro-Uschi prangert an, dass China...

PC monitors have been steadily growing in size and business-focused displays for conferencing or digital signage also don’t seem to be burdened with any of that nonsense. Also a good option if you want a big, matte display!

The big reason why I’m still on Xorg and will be for a while is XFCE. I’ve tried everything from KDE Neon to Sway but they are either missing features I want or were too buggy to bother. Should try Budgie again when 11 comes out though, that seems to be close to XFCE in terms of scope and is supposed to work well with Wayland by then.

Not an answer, just a warning: This is par for the course when it comes to Rocketchat, every major version seems to come with another piece of nagware, another limit, another thing paywalled. I run a server for the non-profit I work for and they haven’t even replied to my mails about maybe offering a more affordable licensing tier before Enterprise.

We don’t need a lot, just push notifications (which they have to pay for, so absolutely fair to limit) and LDAP integration that isn’t intentionally gimped. A supporter tier with no real extra features (we don’t need their customer-facing-type features) and very limited tech support would be really nice, but I guess they don’t want our poor people money. Gotta try just really hard to squeeze something from that stone instead.

Example: First they removed automatic LDAP syncing, then they blocked people from still doing it with cron. You now have to enter your admin password every time to sync “for security reasons” unless you pay at least $10 per user and month or something ridiculous (for a non-profit) like that. Not that you’d know from their website, they’ve removed all pricing information from there.

They’ve also limited the amount of (free, third-party) add-ons you can install while also adding a new feature that lets users see and request add-ons from admins. So many dark patterns.

Rocketchat narrowly won out over Matrix when Covid started but it sure as hell wouldn’t now.

I also don’t see how this relates to anything specific to gen z as I see the exact same behavior in my gen x / millenial peers.

Yeah, my whole life feels like a parade of shitty messengers winning.

every distro I install I am eventually greeted with something just completely breaking for no reason whatsoever

This happens on Windows too and the fixes you have to apply aren’t less esoteric.

For example: User complains that Spyder won’t start on her brand-new laptop. Installation seems perfectly fine, nothing wrong there, no corruption or obvious missing bits. Dig around in the Windows log files, find some fairly generic error. Do a bit of googling, eventually decide to just search Github for issues mentioning Spyder not loading. Turns out the laptop is just too new and the AMD graphics driver Windows installs on its own has issues with the IGPU. So replacing that with newer the version AMD distributes fixes it.

Or, with Windows 11, if you want the start menu on the left and the Explorer context menu usable: Sure, just open powershell and run these commands to create new, weird registry keys to force it, btw these are not supported by Microsoft, you’re on your own.

I’d rather choose the OS that doesn’t have the audacity to charge money and then blast me with ads in the start menu.

The author of this article is not nearly old enough to be a boomer though. This is outrage bait.

That stuff is literally what the furry fandom is about though.

The specific term furry fandom was being used in fanzines as early as 1983, and had become the standard name for the genre by the mid-1990s, when it was defined as “the organized appreciation and dissemination of art and prose regarding ‘Furries’, or fictional mammalian anthropomorphic characters”. However, fans consider the origins of furry fandom to be much earlier, with fictional works such as Kimba, the White Lion, released in 1965, Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down, published in 1972 (and its 1978 film adaptation), as well as Disney’s Robin Hood as oft-cited examples.

No idea why people would lose their minds about this either, though.

Währenddessen:

Die Landesregierung von Schleswig-Holstein beschwert sich bei der Bundesregierung über Kürzungen bei Open-Source-Software. Das Thema der digitalen Souveränität scheine “weit aus dem Fokus des Bundes gerückt zu sein”, kritisiert der Chef der Kieler Staatskanzlei, Dirk Schrödter (CDU), in einem Brief an den Chef des Bundeskanzleramts, Wolfgang Schmidt (SPD). “Gerade in einem Markt, der zur Monopolbildung neigt, muss der Staat darauf achten, sich nicht in Abhängigkeiten zu begeben”, heißt es weiter in dem Brief, der c’t vorliegt. 25 statt 48 Millionen Euro

Anlass für Schrödters Beschwerde ist der Anfang Juli von der Bundesregierung veröffentlichte Haushaltsentwurf für 2024. Dort sind für den Bereich “digitale Souveränität” nur noch knapp 25 Millionen Euro vorgesehen, nach 48 Millionen Euro im Vorjahr. “Es ist also von massiven Kürzungen beim Zentrum für digitale Souveränität (ZenDiS) und damit u. a. dem souveränen Arbeitsplatz auszugehen”, schreibt Schrödter in seinem Brief.

Das erst Ende 2022 von der Bundesregierung gegründete ZenDiS soll die Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software für Behörden und Ministerien vorantreiben und dadurch die Abhängigkeit des Staates von Konzernen wie Microsoft reduzieren. Zentrales Produkt des ZenDiS ist der “souveräne Arbeitsplatz”, der seit Kurzem “openDesk” heißt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Suite aus Open-Source-Webanwendungen für Office und Kommunikation. Grundlage ist die “dPhoenixSuite” des öffentlichen, norddeutschen IT-Dienstleisters Dataport.

[…]

Mit den nun von der Bundesregierung geplanten Kürzungen wäre eine effektive Weiterentwicklung des souveränen Arbeitsplatzes und der Open-Source-Plattform OpenCode “kaum möglich”, warnt Schrödter in seinem Brief. “Die zentralen Vorhaben zur Stärkung der Digitalen Souveränität und zum Aufbau eines nationalen und europäischen Open-Source-Ökosystems werden stark beeinträchtigt.” Der Staat müsse eine aktive Rolle bei der Förderung von Start-ups und mittelständischer, deutscher Unternehmen übernehmen “und nicht nur außereuropäische Konzerne beauftragen.”

Alles völlig richtig. Würde ja gern behaupten, dass da bestimmt wieder massiv Lobbyarbeit betrieben wurde, aber mittlerweile ist die Idee, dass man ohne Microsoft eigentlich gar nicht arbeiten kann, ja ein Selbstläufer geworden.

But if browsers that aren’t going to implement this had a significant market share then Google couldn’t just push this through.

More DRM. Browsers already support DRM schemes for media playback.

Really though it’s a shame that so many devs still try to treat the web like print where they have full control over the layout at any given time. Even after the death of Flash and the introduction of smartphones and their need for fluid layouts. Meanwhile concepts like progressive enhancement got left behind.

At least we’ve got flexbox and grid now.

They added a browser choice window to Windows 7 where you could select and download a web browser to install. It isn’t present in Windows 10 and on, possibly wasn’t in 8 either.

They removed it before Edge existed though.
