So what…?
Not everybody is living in the “default country” and also, with the US we see how well it all works for them and how slavery is not a thing there at all.

Look, I don’t know which country you live in but if you’re worried it might make you a slave, you should riot (if at all possible, that is). Be part of the opposition.

A government that isn’t governing you … yet and that has no ambitions (/s) to take over as much power as possible in the country you live in, you mean?

Good fucking riddance.

I have been using Linux since 2007. I have never had to update video drivers manually.

Sure, I don’t do gaming. But neither do most grandmothers.

I use GPSLogger to create my monthly travel log for my employer. You can fine-tune it pretty well and it works almost as well as Google’s location timeline while not having to rely on Google’s appetite for personal data.
I use its built-in ssh upload feature to get my data transferred to my SBC at home.

50/10, no data cap, ~30 €/month, copper wire, suburban Germany.

Since this is Lemmy, I would like to link to Freesewing.

I had a similar issue on a new out of the box HP Prodesk. Independently of the distro I was running it wouldn’t want to wake up from standby. Turned out to be an (firmware?) issue with the SSD. After replacing it everything worked fine.

Google’s and Meta’s main business are ads?? I do doubt this! Their main business is hoarding data about you and everybody and selling that data to anyone willing to buy it.

In which world is the FDP socially left? They’re the rich man’s party. Economically right/liberal, socially right, believing in capitalism.

About a year ago I was lucky on eBay, winning an old Acer Switch Alpha 12 for ~95€ including shipping. I think it was released about 2016.

Even if it shows a lot of signs of wear, it is still a very good device. I received it with Windows 11, but of course I didn’t want use it like that. 4 gigs of ram aren’t enough for that anyway.

So I installed Fedora. (Had to rename the uefi boot entry for it to boot from disk. This is described elsewhere online but if you read this post and wonder how to do it, please dm me and I’ll be happy to help.)

Now this is my primary device for when I’m away from my desktop PC. Gnome is stunning on 2-in-1s IMO, much better than Windows would ever be.

Hardware wise everything works just fine out of the box, apart from the rear camera which isn’t recognized, but I wouldn’t use that anyway.

Honestly, the Switch Alpha 12 is the poor man’s MS Surface and I think it’s a shame that Acer has apparently given up on this device class. For now I’m happy to use this pc for as long as I can.

I use Recoleta (in the alternative version) for my personal stuff. I just like the look of it and it’s IMO good for both body text and headlines. I also like the slight 70s vintage style.

Yet as much as I would wish for this, I don’t think it’s the way of thinking of those in charge.

I never poop on either of my hands.

I want a mid-range phone with a great camera and a telephoto lens.

I don’t need no AI bullshit, I don’t do gaming, I don’t need 32 gigs of ram on a phone.

I just wanna take great pictures.

Ah snap!

In which world is the Chinese market not capitalist? Chinese drug exports are absolutely for-profit. They don’t export out of philanthropy. It’s probably even worse than elsewhere!

I’m sure a lot of European-minded urban Russians are very happy to finally become another North Korea.
