You want that if you strongly believe that your hate speech counts as free speech

I wonder if Lenovo gets a revenue share when they sell a game on the device. This could also explain the $100 price difference as the they are counting on the additional income. Are there any leaks / rumors on this?

Everyone who played and loved "The Settler 2" should give this a try. It has even more depth and removed a lot of the quirks like managing the stationing of trained soldiers.

I‘ve actually when something like this will happen. A few years ago German energy providers and distributors needed to split, because it gives you an unfair advantage if you own both. Whole companies were split in two. People working for years together would no longer work together. In the end consumer were much better off after the split. I feel the same way with internet browser. It is unfair if you own the infrastructure (Chrome, energy grid) and the services that run on it (YouTube, power plants).

Thats false! There is already a link to the wikipedia article, but here is the relevant quote: „but uses hardware restrictions or digital rights management (DRM) to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware.“

It is not a violation of the GPL 2, the license of the Linux kernel, but only the GPL 3 which was basically created for this case. Linus Torvalds is a big defender of the GPL 2 and said that Tivo provided good patches for the hardware they used.

I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

Proud to be a European (discuss.tchncs.de)

As a European it makes me proud to get a direct shout out from Linus 🫶🏻

Free software as in freedom of speech, not necessarily as in free beer. Maintainers also need to pay the bills.

  • Use sqlite instead of Postgres, MariaDB
  • Avoid enterprise software (Kubernetes, Elastic Search)
  • Only use projects with efficient programming languages such as Go, Rust, etc.
  • Try to run things bare metal
  • Lookout for projects which name themself minimal or light-weight

I use a Raspberry Pi 2 to self host a Dashboard written in Rust (Axum), a RSS reader called yarr and a music streaming server Navidrome. The latter two are written in Go and very resource efficient. The electricity bill should be under a Euro a month (6.4W max power consumption).

This is the wrong statistic! It doesnt matter how often you take the train, but how far you go. There is something called a passenger kilometer. Someone traveling one kilometer by train makes one passenger kilometer, 6 people on a train going 10 kilometers makes 60 passenger kilometers. The same can be done for other modes of transportation. The modal split (the right statistic) then shows how much each mode of transportation is actually used. Here you can find the statistic for each country of the EU: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/passenger-transport-modal-split-2#tab-chart_1

A few examples why modal split is better than frequencies:

  • Environmentally CO2 is emitted per kilometer. Someone may bike a short distance everyday to work, but visits his parents who live far away every weekend by car.
  • On the way to work someone could take the car and the train on the same commute.

„Inzwischen“ ist es etwas untertrieben. Seit Jahren trifft es eher. Ich wundere mich jeden Tag auf der Arbeit warum Outlook dieses wunderbare Feature nicht einfach übernehmen könnte… Wahrscheinlich, weil es wirklich hilfreich ist. Stattdessen gibt es jetzt KI überall…

A litte off topic, but still interesting: What you are referring to is the life expectancy at birth. Your life expectancy actually increases as you get older, since you already survived and the people who already died are not factored in anymore.

https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

So according to that table when you are born your life expectancy is 74.12, but when you already made it to 50 it rises to 78.33 (current age + life expectancy from the table).
