@purpleidea Québec is really insane like this. I've literally had tellers at the bank tell me in fluent English that sorry they can't help me in English.
@withaveeay It's a paradox. As a tech person, I don't use and refuse to use WhatsApp, but in poorer communities who get it zero rated (for actual completely selfish reasons by the companies) it is actually making a significant positive difference. But also, as they get locked in that eco-system, it eventually cuts them off from the people who are privileged enough not to be there. We really need something proper that's free and open and zero-rated.
@debby Usually more rights for others means more rights for everyone as a total!
@demoographics There are even mirrors, forks and various off-line distributions, so it takes a lot to take out Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
@alienghic @majorlinux I want to switch to EV too because my home has plenty of solar power, so then I can eliminate my fuel bill, which would be great! But extending the life of a petrol vehicle is better for the environment since such a big part of a car's lifetime emmissions occure during manufacturing (no matter what type of vehicle it is). So when this one ever become unrepairable, I'll probably get some BYD (probably the Dolphin Surf).
@alienghic @majorlinux I have an old A3 that turns 20 years old in a few months. It still runs like a new car and I'll admit I've had lots of fixes done, but still significanlty cheaper by factors than buying a new car. If you have a decent old car and take care of it, it will take care of you financially!
@juliank my experience was the same. Beautiful visuals and landscapes... But what's the point again?
@simple_sabotage does this manual try to sabotage the saboteur? Have you ever tried catching a dozen moths when you actually need a moth!?
Sometimes it looks like people really want to demonize raidz2 in favour of using sets of mirrors when you have 4 or 6 disks. At home I use raidz2 on my machines because I care a bit more about any 2 disks being able to fail rather than it being Russian Roulette after the first disk fails, and I haven't ran into any performance issues whatsoever, even when moving large amounts of data around, installing to multiple VMs on those filesystems or deleting huge amounts of files.
@mirabilos @freexian So, that means you got around another ~3 years of trixie for your armel devices? That's not too terrible.
@mirabilos @freexian Even rpi 3+4 is something often sent to e-waste... if you rescue one of them and upgrade to arm64 then at least you're e-waste neutral. Then again it's small fry compared to the massive amount of Windows 10 hardware that's about the become "obsolete" soon. I do think it makes sense to stop supporting really old architectures which don't have any fast method to build packages for them. Those hold us back and I think do more harm than good.
@mirabilos @freexian NetBSD is probably also still a good option if someone has those boards and really want to make use of them?
@shodan odd! Haven't come across 70 before. Where does that come from? Some specific piece of software that runs over ssh?
IHIP: How fascism is completely taking over the media in the US and how free speech is being killed.
This isn't going to be contained to the US, this is bad for the entire world.
