Why would people in the right mind bind the right to vote to a document that allows you to operate a vehicle on public roads anyways?

depending on how you look

… and even more where you cross the border. If I want to go (like in “just walk there”) from Poland to Germany, I could use this bridge for example:

It’s really just an ordinary bridge across a river, no border patrol, no ID check, nothing. Just walk from one country into another.

Or if I want to cross the border from Germany to France, I could just use that publicly accessible hiking path:

(Seen from French side, the barrier where the people sit is the whole border crossing point.) And this bridge with a view brings you from France to Spain.

Except border check points you’ll find luxury housing on French side and commercial buildings (stores and some warehouses) on Spain side.

At no point in that imaginary journey (now that I think about it, this would make a great road trip with hiking parts) you need your ID card when you travel to another country.

Long story short: It’s really easy to cross borders in the EU.

I live in the EU and thus I can travel pretty far away without having to ever show my ID card. Maybe it’s just personal experience but whenever I had to show it, no-one cared about it wasn’t valid anymore.

Another trick is acting stupid: “Oh, thank you! I didn’t notice! When would a normal person check that, eh? 🙂 … Right on next Monday I’ll going to renew it!” and then hasta la vista, we won’t meet ever again anyways.

The next time I have to renew it, is in 2031. I guess I won’t renew it till 2040.

I usually ignore renewals as much as I can. My last ID card was 8 years overdue.

If I’m the target, then this is enough.

But your phone number is, and thus every agency can get your full name and address and location.

Signal IS the middleman.

For some people it’s not always about the money.

I don’t trust them with that. They have an extremely limited free tier that indirectly “forces” users to upgrade to one of the paid tiers. The one that is least limited and reasonably priced is “Proton Unlimited” for ten bucks a month to be paid annually. Plus: you cannot even use a mail client of your choice without installing an extra application for that.

You could easily selfhosting the cloud stuff. If you don’t want to selfhost a mail server you could use one from a mail provider. Don’t know how it’s done internationally, but here in Germany are quite a few companies that provide you with either a domain forwarding service for your selfhosted stuff, or a good and cheap mail server solution for a fraction of what Proton wants to have, and I highly doubt they need ca. $120 a year per user to offer a handful of mail aliasev and allowing you to create folders in your mailbox.

And you’re not even arbitrarily limited - and your data never leaves your private environment.

There are 2 kinds of companies:

1. Evil companies
2. Companies that are not evil YET. Comanies that were not caught yet.

FTFY.

Wow, such a generic nonpology.

Oh, I’m so, so sorry I was caught red-handed. I apologize for anything you guys blame me for, please keep using your product.

I always forget there is a hyped for-profit mail service using the same name as the game compatibility layer.

Any advice?

Not getting an account on a dead corporate-owned social media platform?

I use Arch, btw.

Organic Maps is FOSS, supports offline navigation, and has an iOS version. It uses OSM maps you can download as needed.

The first part actually reads slightly optimistic.

Modern tabs management, web apps making a comeback, more money for the Browser instead of useless side projects, etc.

We still need to turn of tons of telemetry and user tracking, but its nice to see some movement.

Let’s hope that this isn’t just new CEO bla bla.

Lucky you!

Overall I’m still getting used to the Steam “processing vulkan shaders” pretty much every time a game updates

Start game, see popup, go to kitchen to grab some snacks, bring out trash, have a quick chat with the neighbor, go back inside, use the bathroom, come back to computer - game is just starting.

As for the Forgejo issue, have you started a discussion here? You also shouldn’t need a script, because Forgejo can clone from Gitea, including issues if an access token was provided.

https://codeberg.org/repo/migrate?service_type=3&org=&mirror=

You seem to not like the name or the things we do. Maybe tell us more about what you like…

I’m a programmer, so by nature I am bad at naming things 😄

We had the poll on Matrix also which is FOSS, and our issue tracker built on Gitea. […] The fact remains that 80%+ of our players choose discord

Gitea is corporate-owned nonfree software. (There was a hostile takeover of the project, they also changed to a non-free open core release and made mandatory to remove all copyright headers from changed or newly added files.)

For the Discord debacle: Maybe make it an unrecommended channel and endorse people to use Matrix instead. Everyone who cares even a little bit should not explicitly or implicitly suggest using closed-source or corporate-owned software.

But I guess that’s a topic for another discussion …

Exactly. On desktop this also works as expected. Since the Firefox doesn’t have proper quickdial (neither on desktop nor on mobile) such a functionality is absolutely necessary.

I need 6 taps to open a folder in my bookmarks bar in new “tabs”. This is just ridiculous.

It shows up if you close the browser?

If you close all tabs, if you open a new “empty” tab, if you restart the browser, etc. Having a settable homepage is a no-brainer and I never ever stumbled across a browser that cannot set it.

They are going to make a new tab organizer though.

So we can finally have normal tabs in Firefox, too?

Why have a poll on a proprietary closed-source software, though? Why not exclusively in the MT forums where the most users are?

Firefox has a massive data leak issue, this is unfortunate but nothing new and it’s quite easy to stop.

The thing is, the foundation goes in the completely wrong direction. Instead of developing the browser and create an actually good mobile version of it, they sink money in useless hypetrain bullshit.

For example: on Android Firefox you cannot even change the homepage.

It really doesn’t, yeah. But the vocal minority decided.

Its not the car manufacturers failure when the road is broken.

Exactly. When the variable is unset the UI shows massive artifacts and weird rendering glitches.

Thank you for educating me on basic knowledge about WMs, which I use since ove a decade.

I just expect applications behave the same. I have literally not one single line of configuration for X11 in any of my configuration files.

I need this QT variable, otherwise Cura does not work properly.

You’re using a WM bud, wtf do you expect?

I expect it to work, like Openbox works on X11.

Cannot confirm any Nvidia unique X11 bugs since everything works perfectly fine since a decade or so for me – but tons of Nvidia unique Wayland bugs (same driver version and same card). I am not quite sure if Nvidia are really the bad one in this specific case.

My whole invironment is full of stuff to make Wayland actually work with Nvidia.

$ cat .config/labwc/environment 
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=wlr
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

Not one single line of configuration is used for X11.

Did they worked together with X11 to the same extend they need to work together with Wayland?

They absolutely do. And I hope they prove me wrong.

Nvidia shouldn’t need to put anything in. It’s entirely Waylands fault that it does not work well with the already existing hardware and drivers environment.

Nvidia is shit for so many reasons but not because Wayland doesn’t work well with it.

Who thought individual compositors having to re-implement base features individually and over and over again would be a good idea?

Same with the dozens of different protocols and portals and all the other magic bullshit. Once feature-complete with X11,Wayland will be of same complexity.

Check out the “Completion status” section on the MineClone2 page I linked, there are lists of what features are available and what’s missing, also what’s added exclusively for MineClone2.

For a Minecraft alternative maybe have a look at Minetest. Minetest is a voxel game engine that allows for a wide variety of voxel games. (And you cannot connect to Minetest servers with it, of course.)

One of those voxel games is named “MineClone2”. It is not a 100% clone, though.

• Minetest: https://www.minetest.net
• MineClone2: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Wuzzy/mineclone2/

You install Minetest and from within the client you can install MineClone2.

Wait, that’s Pixel-specific and not Android default functionality?

The built-in one works very well for me.

Clearly not that it is basically just an advertising network disguised as browser.
