Yeah! Because famously, labor cost is what the high US healthcare costs go towards!

Sorry, unfortunately can’t help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven’t even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don’t know how things are on the tuwunel side, I’m very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.

I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.

In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.

Let’s hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I’m not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US’ boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we’re incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Universal Android Debloater.

It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

FWIW, I’ve been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I’m using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

Never heard of it but will check it out, thanks!

Interesting. To me, the calendar app is one of the most important apps I have (it’s fully FOSS though. Connected through DavX5 with a Caldav server to sync to my desktop/Thunderbird, no Google involvement)

Right, so the joke is misogyny, got it.

I don’t get it, what’s so funny about that joke?

Tails I think

Isn’t this about fake trailers for movies that do not exist? It’s not reinterpreting art, it’s producing slop and trying to bait people into giving you views.

Let’s be real, when some shitty company (MS) gets around to it, it will be: ☁️⬆️

Yep. They changed her pretty drastically from the way she is in the books (which was probably a good idea), but way, WAY overcorrected. I also don’t really like the actor for the role, but that is secondary.

Fair. Don’t take this as pressure to watch this. But for what it’s worth, “Harry Potter but horny” is exactly what I grew tired of after S1, and they drop that hook pretty thoroughly.

S2-5 is more like “there’s no such thing as a chosen one. We’re all just fucked up in different ways, and the only way to get meaningful change done is if we try to be better, together - regardless of if we ever manage to grow past that damage”.

Except Alice. Fuck Alice, she never not sucks.
