This article is about open source software though. Hardware is a whole different beast that would require much time and money to switch to open source.

Open source software is free and can be switched to today, as little as putting Linux on an old laptop to self host some services to replace proprietary and also American services.

This is a good meme

Privacy is good! I just wanted a reason to use mitgliedsnummer in a sentence.

Don't want anybody stealing your Mitgliedsnummer

I stopped buying Samsung phones after one model had a known issue they did nothing about.

Motorola has been my new brand of choice. They still have headphone jacks and SD card slots.

Edit: if you have a reliable data plan on your phone you can download your media (music, TV, movies) onto a computer running Jellyfin. Then use Tailscale to open it up to your phone wherever you go. It's hosting your own "cloud" for free. I do this for TV but I still keep an SD card full of music for offline use.

That's funny, I was just looking up registering my first domain name for a project this morning.

If the Americans could read, they'd be very upset to read this.

It only affects one country, so not that big of a news story.

This is pausing US sales only. Misleading title, only affects one country.

I enjoy driving. Long distance road trips I love. And driving around in the summer in my old Miata with the top down is an amazing experience.

Yes they still exist. We banned them at our youth retreats because a couple years ago the kids taped down the nozzle and tossed them into neighboring rooms like tear gas grenades.

Hilarious, but not the best for enjoying your sleep.

I thought it was "authorized" spelled wrong but on second glance it's "out theorized". I don't know which one makes more sense.
