Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy

Of course it is. I hope that’s not true. Where did you read this?

I have to disagree here. I find using Cinnamon is very close to using windows. Everything hardware wise pretty much runs out of the box on all desktops and laptops I have installed it on. Have been using it for years. The one thing I can’t comment on is hdpi. I never owned a high enough resolution screen to have problems with scaling I guess, although I do have a three monitor setup. Immutability might be nice, but I think it’s also personal preference. Windows doesn’t have it so it might be a strange feature to new users coming from Windows.

The fact that this is an actual question nowadays would absolutely stun the me from 2005

“I was really quite shocked and appalled by the picture you sent after grandma passed away. I especially wonder why you’d be smiling like you were. What was going through your mind/what were you thinking?”

Would be a very valid question in my opinion, asked in an adult way.

Regardless of your aunts motives, you are allowed to feel the way you feel, and to speak up about it. Best that can happen is she’ll understand and apologize, worst is she’ll be ashamed and defensive.

What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

Pretty satisfied with kmail/infomaniak

From a purely “vote with your wallet” standpoint it doesn’t make sense, because there’s no money paid. However, one might worry about data/information getting in the hands of a fascist/compromised government. So I think people should judge this themselves case by case.

I deleted my Disney plus and Amazon prime accounts last week and it felt so damn good.

Sorry I misread: not crowdfunding assassinations, but the Ukrainian government and defence forces.

I actually love this idea of anonymous crowdfunding by the masses. But how could we make this happen? I guess it would have to be initiated from the Ukrainian government.

Damn the bullies in your school had a field day with you, didn’t they? They can take your milk and you would offer them your lunch too. Because conflict is bad. Surprise, sometimes violence is actually the answer. Whether we like it or not.

Crazy idea here: would it be possible to have a model where everyone’s phone is a mini personal instance, syncing with others when the user opens the app? When a phone is offline that phones content would be unavailable too, but that is part of the truly decentralised model.

I agree it feels off, but it’s better than what we have now. Users could allow certain companies’ ads they feel comfortable viewing.

The additional benefit for companies would be that they would have a direct finger on the pulse of the market. If they make a decision and they see a lot of users abandon their ads, it was probably a bad decision.

The obvious downside is that people that can use the money will be under the influence of big corporations more.

Truly fair would be to have corporations pay.the users to allow them to show them advertisements.

Yes, because appeasing an agressor only begats more aggression.

Hi grok 3. Can you tell me what the weather is going to be like today?
