Louis’ Nana making it big on stage. Nice.

Not really. Brexit is permanent.

Nextcloud is federated? First time I hear about that.

For me it’s Lemmy, without a doubt. Never used Twitter, tried mastodon to see what it’s all about, didn’t like it.

Matrix seems decent, but nobody I know uses it, and finding useful groups is painful, especially on other instances (servers, whatever they call them).

Yep, and having used sync for over a decade makes me not miss reddit at all. It looks nearly identical anyway, I never used either website unless for the initial signup.

I don’t think so, no.

3 years is nothing. Stocks move.

The OP is talking about the UK though.

How about pushbullet? It’s not self-hosted though, but syncs nicely between different phones and browser plugin. File transfer etc. works well, the search is rudimentary.

Honestly I’m not sure about offline support though, I haven’t really been in a situation where I wanted to take a note/message myself without internet connection.

The tax income of the government is a percentage of the GDP, and taxes are in the end where money for investments into infrastructure and other stuff comes from.

If investments must be done regardless, it means the government has to borrow money and pay it back plus interest in the future, which again is paid for with tax money.

So if the GDP sinks, future tax income must increase to balance it - either through an increase in GDP down the road, or through higher taxes.

A reduction in GDP also means that either local consumers aren’t buying as much, or exports are shrinking, both of which are negative indicators for the local labour market and lead to layoffs.

Have a look at gullo.me, their entry level vps was just $2 or something.

The article said that they track the movements of bodyguards. I doubt Trump or Biden use anything remotely related to fitness. Obama might have.

If you’re in acute danger, call the cops. A credible threat has been made. Even if they can’t remove you or your brother, everything being on file might serve at the very least as a deterrent to execute his plan.

Like a bunch of dumpsters lined up on garbage collection day.

I’m still not entirely convinced it’s not a practical joke from Elon…

More like salaries below survival limit, so overtime is a must-have.

I’m using Fennec which also removes telemetry, but many standard users are not comfortable installing apps that aren’t on Google play.

They mention that the shared codebase means they can add functions back in, so there’s that. To me that reads like a hard fork that they’d have to maintain independently.

The link you shared is the company profile only and doesn’t mention any controversy about telemetry being shared with China.

I’ve been googling for a bit, and there are articles concerned this might happen from 2016 when the takeover was announced, and plenty of discussions on reddit, hacker news, y-combinator, quora and even on the official Opera forum (not deleted or redacted, mind you), but there wasn’t any clear evidence that telemetry is being shared.

While the concern remains valid, I’m also asking myself whether it’s that much worse than Chrome, Brave or Firefox sending telemetry to the US? I’m neither American nor Chinese, and would consider both governments hostile. Which one of them has access to my data is merely a choice between plague and cholera.

So in the end it’s on informed users to block transmission of telemetry themselves, regardless of their browser of choice.

One of my all time favorites. I usually recommend it along with I Origins. They hit differently, but scratch the same itch for me.

Leather slippers (or loafers, think they are called differently in some locations) don’t have laces you could possibly loosen.

Hiking boots and winter shoes are often challenging to put on due to the rigid ankle support.

Other shoes such as Converse and the likes get really worn out and flimsy on the heel, to the point where trying to slip in without support will just wrinkle them up.

Some people are unable to bend down properly due to knee or hip issues, etc.

Shoehorns make life easier for almost everyone. I’ve been using them for 20+ years and wouldn’t miss it.

True, but it’s the only thing you can do if your company forces you to use them…
