Good to see this topic come up. Been using Linux mint for about a month and I can say i don't miss windows at all.

Also consider Tuxedo computers, linux focused and HQ'd in Germany.

I mean, have you seen how effective Tik Toks one is?

I had this talk with someone I barely know about Trump.

She said he must know he's never gonna be remembered as an exceptional president, so instead he is trying to just be remembered, doesn't matter if for good or bad.

I think that makes so much sense.

I mean, I disagree, but thanks. Good dialogue.

No, we were neutral.

Did you just read "Data minimization" and assume it means that data collection should be minimized at all times?

There's a reason why when you fill the GDPR consent popup all advertising companies have the "legitimate interest" on by default, because it falls under the "data that is necessary for their specified purposes", which in their case means the purpose of displaying relevant ads and paying the app developer some money for it. And even then, you're allowed to turn that legitimate interest OFF.

I'm the one who's not sure if you're trolling or just a shill. How many rubles are they paying you?

Dude, I use a lot of FOSS software including Linux as a daily driver. I know what you are talking about. But we're in BuyFromEU, so you shouldn't be surprised my opinions reflect that.

Personally, between supporting a Organic Maps and Here WeGo I prefer the option that will make Europe richer. Especially now that the fascists overseas have decided Europe should be up for grabs by Russia and we need to up our defense.

You can LARP "outside of capitalism" all you want but there's still a reality here that needs to be addressed.

Yeah, why help an EU company develop their free product, away from Google, when we can all just stay poor? Are they stupid?

And some people still complain that US tech companies keep getting petty fines in Europe.

We're the only ones trying to enforce even an anemic degree of antitrust, since the US just allows them to do whatever.

People are just stupid.

I agree with you thoroughly.
