We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.

We’ll develop everything openly. Our policy is to publish code, collaborate with the community, and be transparent. Free software, for us, is a matter of principle—not just legal compliance.

IIRC that's not accurate. You only need that "pro feature" if you want to be able to ~~apply~~ activate kernel updates without rebooting. Unless you have that requirement and an armada of devices matching that profile you don't need to pay anything.

You're right. But I'd rather have limited Linux options than no option at all.

On the other side, if you don't want to sell it, then gathering private data can theoretically be seen as theft, which in turn could protect your privacy. Generally, it would be nicer if ownership of such data would not be transferable.

Testing a normal Linux installation sounds like a good idea. In my opinion it's better to transition to Linux than switch. That way you can go back to your previous system setup and see what you are missing or need without having to open your computer and swap hardware. If you can add the old or new SSD as an external drive and so that you can can boot then your plan might work out.

I just can't be bothered to switch when my current distro worked just fine for me for the last 20 years. I have no time to experiment anymore, I just want to get things done.

So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?

You can't lose what you never had, though. ;-)

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

Actually, things seem to get better with age, just not as they seemed to be before:

Whereas happiness was once considered to follow a U-shape – with a relatively carefree youth, a tougher middle age and a more comfortable later life – the experts in wellbeing say our satisfaction now rises steadily with age instead.

How much is 216% in actual numbers?

You might have missed some points.

Prime Minister Mute Egede:

“Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions,” he said.

Trump earlier this week refused to rule out using military or economic force in order to bring Greenland under US control. Trump said last month that “ownership and control” of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” for the US, as it seeks to counter growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic region.

 

I just received this message from a band I like, on Bandcamp. I hope that posting it here doesn't violate any rule. It's also an interesting insight on what kind of influence corporations like Meta have on small bands.

Hey! Hope you're enjoying a chilled Sunday with good music and good vibes.

You may have seen our 5000-follower Facebook account was permanently disabled by Meta this week in the lead-up to our UK/EU tour with Acid Rooster. All our Facebook events, promo and paid ad campaigns have been deleted.

No reason was given by Meta (other than 'authentic identity' - which we provided on several occasions), they took £200 from our Paypal and tell us we have no right to reply. I suspect it may be the result of a hack elsewhere. The fight continues.

This has obviously had a significant impact on our ability to promote our upcoming shows on the platform that carries our biggest following.

We'd be eternally grateful if you could help us get the word out about the tour this week by sharing the links, poster oand giving us a follow on your social.

We really appreciate any support and shares you can give JP, Gary, Mike, Graham, Seb, Billy
