my ubuntu laptop is running Microsoft Defender

How does that even work? Just wine it?

My guess is that the majority of communist regimes were killed by external countries.

Just a hunch, can’t bother to look at numbers though, but thinking about people like Sankara.

The Soviet system

The Stalin system and kept later on… Rather far away from what a soviet system was supposed to be.

how would this work in your utopia?

Like it did in the US in the 1930-60s. Not gonna reinvent something that has proven useful and effective enough to create a superpower.

Seems difficult to raise capital that way.

Something something banks?

Would you put more large cap projects in the hands of a government? Things like power plants, large buildings, etc?

Power plants are a perfect example of infrastructure that need to be national and not private in order to be technically and financially efficient. Running them for profit either means you end up overlooking safety for profit (see David Besse) or hiking the selling price which is detrimental to both your industry and population.

Large buildings are just not on the same financial scale or are just uselessly tall.

I tried it, but ended on heliboard which has glide typing, Floris didn’t at the time

Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too.

Because it’s not an extension or a tech tool. It’s an art project, in the form of an extension. The purpose is not the tool, but the message.

It’s still good PR for linux

The reductions will largely hit product development, internal operations, and customer support,

So HP is geared towards buggy products and shit customer support.

Booking is a nice search engine. Once you found the hotel, go to its own website using name and address as search terms, then book from there for cheaper.

Being French, I am not knowledgeable enough beyond Europe 😁.

For context, Germany recently did a last minute blockage of a European move towards mass surveillance of messaging (called chat control), and a v2 is already being prepared for another attack on privacy at European level.

We are living in interesting times.

All secured OSes and messaging systems are threatened by European governments / EU institutions at the moment, and the French government has been doing so for a few years.

This is not a grapheneOS only issue and it is not new.

Having a secure phone / secure messaging has been seen as suspicious by the police in france for several years now.

This has already been used against eco activists to detain them preemptively and a few times to increase charges towards terrorism / organized crime when possible.

From France: news outlets began parroting government stating GrapheneOS is used by narcos.

GrapheneOS reacted strongly.

However, France is on a very shitty auth-right trend (including arresting Telegram founder) so the reaction is very understandable.

French billionaires are actively promoting fascism, headed by Bolloré who owns a TV station similar to foxnews and has a neo Nazi body guard on his private island.

French police is killing more people every year, with little to no consequence. French protests have changed from family walks to full riots as police attacks peaceful protests (a recent leak shows amongst other things a riot-cop telling his officer during what can only be described as a battle that protesters have children amongst them, officer replies that it’s what you choose when protesting).

It’s not about tech, it’s about control of the masses so they don’t rebel.

Why would a billionaire fund billionaire-eating-and-incinerating ships?
