Ah, thx for the explanation :)

Flatpak was designed to be decentralised, Flathub is just the main repository offering flatpaks and yes, probably 99% of all Flatpak applications are downloaded via the main repo but it is technically possible to just launch your own if you are unhappy with the main repo. The Flatpak team literally has this info page for hosting a repository

I for example, am taking AAGL from their own flatpak repo because they are not offering their launcher via the main one (even tho they also tell you to link the main repo - I guess for dependency reasons - but theoretically you could open your own repo and throw all dependency related packages in there or am I getting something wrong here)

Positive news: at least Germany will reject it, let’s hope more members follow their lead

According to [German Federal Minister of the Interior] Nancy Faeser, it is appropriate to “hold online platforms accountable so that depictions of abuse are discovered, deleted and the perpetrators prosecuted”. However, if the current proposal remains, the representative of the Federal Republic of Germany would have to vote no, said the SPD politician. "Because we must take targeted action and maintain the balance of the rule of law. Encrypted private communications of millions of people must not be monitored without cause.

Ngl the US would react quite pissed just like it reacted during the Cuba crisis.

Placing nuclear warheads in range of enemy cities is OK, but when the enemy wants to place their nuclear warheads in range of my cities as a reaction it’s a cause for nuclear war.

And the US has overthrown quite a lot of governments for their own interests (starting with the banana wars and later extending to anti-communism and oil), so toppling the Mexican / Canadian government to get them back on track actually isn’t far fetched.

But I agree with your last point. Even tho I don’t like the US I’d never make opposing the US at all cost even if I have to side with literal fascists & mass murders my main purpose of life. Out of China, Russia, Iran and the US, the US is the lesser evil (at least for now… Idk what MAGA is up to)

Oh oh, and stock market manipulation (multiple times)

Yes, German dialects can vary greatly for example here’s the same sentence “I have an apple.” in different German dialects:

Standard German:

“Ich habe einen Apfel.”

Northern German / Platt:

“Ik hab en Appel.”

Middle German / Saxonian:

" 'sch’habm Abbl." ( 'sch is pronounced like sh)

Southern German / Bavarian & Austrian:

“I hob an Opfü.” (I is pronounced like the single letter E)

The Southern Germans are the ones with the Schwarzenegger accent.

English (fluent)

Dutch (bad)

French (basics)

Japanese (basics)

Standard German (native)

Lower Austrian German (fluent)

Bavarian German (fluent)

Saxonian German (fluent)

Vienna German (good)

Hamburgian German (OK)

Berlin German (OK)

Northern German (OK)

Swabian German (OK)

Platt German (bad)

Tyrolean German (bad)

Swiss German (worse) - Yes, for me it’s easier to understand Dutch than Swiss German

Well, you can’t cheat if you can’t do anything

Thx for sharing your story :3

Tysm for sharing your story :D

Interesting idea

Yeah, Mint too afaik with LMDE… 🤔

But a funny correlation indeed

Soon:

1. AmogOS
2. Hannah Montana Linux
3. Uwuntu
4. Nyarch
5. MX Linux

Ah, thanks for sharing your journey :D

Or AmogOS

I’m glad you found your Distro! :3

Oh nice! I remember my first one being Xubuntu but I have come a long way since then.

It’s a lightweight distro mainly for old or cheap hardware. It comes with a lot of tools pre-installed and is very conservative towards updates.

I mean, if it is just the client app you could see if the Flatpak version works better. ^^

Still more informative than every “Chrome Unboxed” article ever lol
