What is an Ut?

Also in Belgium. You know that the Belgian army was in the Congo during that period? That means government support. The state literally gave him the money for his “purchase” and also paid propagandists to promote it. They also took it over in 1908 officially and continued to exploit them, enforcing an alpartheid, and kidnapped thousands of children. Our grandparents were literally the ones doing the kidnapping.

You know that belgian citizens cut off the hands of children and workers, mass raped women and children, and mass executed people in the Congo? We can’t hide and "b-b-but Leopold acted alone, it wasn’t Belgium" our way out of recent ancestors committing genocide. King Leopold never even went to the Congo.

This is exactly the same as saying “america didn’t elsave millions of african people, private people and companies did”. It still happened. The american government also aren’t the ones physically killing children in Gaza.

It replaced KDE connect for me. It is KDE connect but “intentional” sharing/no link

• Share between windows work computer and phone but only files and not the persistent link
• share between computer and android TV
• share with partner at home without a server (especially scanned documents)
• transfer large files locally between phones (e.g. new phone)

There are definitely more too, but that is quick off the top of my head. It is also much easier for non-tech people to wrap their heads around.

Absolutely.

We have to rely on some good resellers, of which there are few.

Tinytronics.nl is my go to for central Europe. Not that much markup, fast shipping, good service. Of course their stock is limited compared to the vastness of aliexpress.

For components, RS and TME are the only sellers that sell to individuals in the EU and their stock is miniscule, especially for MCUs. You can barely find any stock from EU MCU suppliers. You literally can’t find ublox Nordic chips in the EU as an individual. You can’t find raw Nordic chips where you have to design your own antenna that were released in the past 7 years in the EU.

It is honestly scandalous how shitty the EU electronics distributing market is for products that are literally made in the EU.

Sadly, it always completely messes up flowcharts for me that are more than 2 next to eachother. It starts placing blocks in “random” places like putting a 3rd level if the flow chart by the first level and having crazy arrows going around.

I prefer excalidraw or the diagrams.net plugin because of this.

LLMs right now massively overuse “it doesn’t just X, it Y”. Just like how they overuse “you are right to push back”.

So I guess the excerpt raises suspicions even though it could just be the author writing that.

That’s what a static forum with comments is for 😂

Using discord/matrix for this means that to get to a recipe, you have to scroll through 100 comments.about recipes not linked to the recipes, and you can’t browse the recipes. You just have to be there or never know it happened pretty much.

Also why support “found” using discord like zephyr have almost 0 help on them at all.

No IMAP, doesn’t support open standards, proprietary encryption, no compatability with 3rd party apps/mail clients. You get forced to use their app and have none of your mails locally. Also, since their encryption is proprietary, they only support password less encryption between tuta users, so 99% of users will only ever have encrypted mail with the tuta advertisements/announcement (though they market the “encrypted” angle extremely hard.

Not to mention all of their apps are exclusively web and electron and perform badly with a very very barebones user interface and options. Also the search is pretty bad. All things that would be fixed if they support open standards. I really dislike using their apps and interface with my account.

AI in and of itself isn’t shit. It’s the training data and the ethics of how that data was acquired that determines whether or not it is shit,

And adittionally you know, the massive amounts of energy, destruction of local computing accessibility, the mass surveillance built into every chatbot, directly supporting and enabling of fascist regimes, the water stealing and toxifying, destruction of local communities, and not last or least, the Observed decline in brain function (also not limited to AI, but many digital tools, sadly).

The only models that skip this are locally trained and run models on solar power.

Of which it is maybe what? 0.01% of the AI use of the world? Less, if we are being completely honest?

Proton itself uses Mistral, OpenHands, OPMO, and Qwen under the hood. Again, not ethical or avoiding any of the above problems at all.

Posteo seems like the only good option there… Sadly they don’t allow custom domains because of some hand-wavy “privacy” crap that boils down mostly to vendor lock-in like tuta.

There is a new belgian co-op company Nubo trying to break into the market, but they are tiny and running a nextcloud instance on-prem for storage. Performance is likely to not be great.

Love new Vegas! I am going to see if I can get this running for Bazzite!
