1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler’s cheques :)

Claiming “we need nuclear” makes me doubt your competence. And I say that as someone who prefers fission plants over burning fossil fuels.

The Expanse reference: Welcome to the poor, but honest plebs, next up join the rebellion ;)

Books were absolutely better, but the TV show was still awesome.

pacman is the name of an actual package manager iirc

I know. But better than using products from fascists…

please don’t call it app store, I just threw up a little in my mouth :(

Package Manager!

It isn’t, really. As @CosmicTurtle0 pointed out in their response, it’s mostly finding alternatives to your apps.

Apropos: fuck mozilla for enshittifying the last viable open source browser alternative :( It’s the one I have not found an alternative for yet.

Other than that: Thunderbird is WAY better than Outlook anyways. Gimp is arguably lacking some features that Photoshop people are used to, but works just fine (albeit takes some getting used to) for non graphic designers. LibreOffice is functioning better than Microsoft Office by a long shot in Writer and Calc - and up to par in Impress (presentations.) VLC should already be your media player of choice anyways. Element (Matrix) and Telegram desktop applications come with most distros nowadays. Desktop environment of choice is available, from very comfortable to very rudimentary and blazingly fast.

Steam works, many many games on steam work (but then again, maybe prefer gog / good old games, as it is not US based).

PDF readers: okular is probably your best bet, digital signatures work fine but the interface for signing a document could be improved a bit.

For my system, that’s kind of it - everything else is native Linux stuff anyways :)

Successful propaganda. As if those people were able to install (or configure) Windows if it didn’t come preinstalled and with autoupdates…

Oracle happened. https://www.pcworld.com/article/423300/why-you-should-ditch-openoffice-and-use-the-free-libreoffice-suite.html

Seriously, fuck Oracle with a rusty rebar. They already ruined mysql.

mysql -> MariaDB

OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

Good job! Welcome to Beltalowda :) Next up: join the OPA!

“…it seems like you may be referring to a private person rather than a widely known public figure. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have any specific public information on him unless he has gained some public recognition for a particular achievement.”

If you didn’t specifically search for “Mr. <name>”, that would be quite the sexist attitude to assume that person is a “him” ;)

PS: please don’t use LLMs, they produce nothing of value and contribute to idiots being deceived.

fyi - found this: https://hedge.grin.hu/hungarian_newspapers_summary

Wow. Thank you for the link. Fingers crossed for Hungary and Europe!

I really hope that this happens, but I haven’t seen any news indicating this. Got a few good sources?

My hope is not dead yet - it’s more likely for Turkey to go back to democracy in the next years than it is e.g. for Hungary - or for the divided states of america, for that matter.

The Turkish people are more European than Middle-Eastern. Especially the educated ones in Ankara and along the western coastlines. If they can oust that geriatric wannabe dictator, it’s going to be the best country to live in for me.

Definitely, but then again, it’s not like the soulless corporations have any smaller phones. My current phone is a shiftphone, at least that is designed for working with LineageOS out of the box.

It would be so awesome if they’d release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.

Their position on this is that they are too small to run two product lines in parallel, so they focus on what the majority of customers want. And that’s unfortunately not smaller phones :(
