Google has ruined Android by closing it up.

EU needs to step in and force Google to open it up.

While at it, go for Apple’s monopoly as well.

Can anyone who has used both Aegis and Stratum compare them?

Ledger is awesome.

Mullvad no longer has port forwarding.

Seems to be a common mindset among americans. As european I don’t understand it.

ELI5 what is wrong with Flatpak.

So Swiss court can compel a company to start logging IP addresses even if they don’t do it normally.

That’s really bad.

Sometimes I feel like we should go back for the guillotines and keep going until we get sane leaders that actually want what’s best for the citizens.

Fun fact, gut bacteria continue living for a while after the host is dead. So the last fart will be posthumous.

As a finn, I can live with -40 °C winters, let them come. At least the invading russians will drop dead like flies in the winter. Again.

Canada’s health care sounds like what Finland’s health care is supposed to be.

Instead our government is busy running it to the ground at terminal velocity.

I haven’t blocked anyone before in Lemmy, what does it actually do?

That would leave LineageOS and everything else broken.

I hope EU forces Google to make Android more open again.

Finally, a cure for insomnia. Thanks, I hate it!

A little bit of perspective from Finland, as a neighbour of Russia. We have suffered from old landmines, so we are pretty familiar with the downsides. Finland joined the Ottawa Treaty in 2012. That has been largely seen as a mistake. If we would deploy mines in a new war, the locations would be documented well so that they could be disarmed with no harm to our civilians. And as a small country, we are not going to invade any other country and leave mines there after a war.

So there isn’t really any benefit to our civilians. But we lost one cost effective way to defend against an aggressive neighbour who has superior numbers of people to send as cannon fodder.

Where can we read more about this?

You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.

Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don’t want to remove essential packages.
