Germany is so incredibly scared to be associated with antisemitism since WW2, they're willing to obfuscate and support the genocide of an entire nation. This is beyond despicable.
Standard tactic since the early 2000s. Provide a service for next to nothing by dumping insane amounts of cash into it. Competition either can't hold up or is straight up bought up. Fast forward 5 years and you're the only real player left. Then you're a monopoly and can set the prices as you see fit. Best example of this is uber, but amazon and youtube have done it too
Jesus Christ. They're literally sending spies now. To a funeral no less. What a bunch of fucking ghouls. I'm just pirating shit out of principle now...
It just doesn't exist. You will need some kind of mini PC like Raspberry Pi. I Use a mini PC from Beelink.
If you just want a media station with some basic apps a Raspi with LibreELEC is perfect. Your TV remote will work out of the box and there are plugins for Netflix, Disney, etc... available.
If you want a little more, like a working browser and / or some light gaming I would suggest a full OS with a little beefier PC like the ones available at Beelink.
Everyone without exception has had moments of weakness where they lashed out at something or someone wrongfully. That's a bad deed but that can't be the definition of a bad person.
Especially in this context. The dude isn't really attacking the dev directly. He actually might just be venting. I wouldn't do that like that but you really can't assume anything from such a short exchange.
When I finally switched from windows to linux a year ago, I read about timeshift and how it is basically windows restore points. So I installed it and played around with it but didn't really get it so I wanted to remove it. At that point I didn't really understand what symlinks are, and I just thought timeshift is just crappy bloatware that dumped a bunch of unecessary shit on my drive. So I sudo deleted that shit. Turns out that was a bad idea. That's the story how I nuked my first linux install.
Yes. Yes it is. Welcome to 2023.
Not wanting to use apps that are profiling you and your devices isn't a high level of privacy or being extreme though. It's just being a normal person.
Germany's neo-nazi party AfD is polling scarily well too. All of EU is turning into an authoritan hellscape. My wife and I are seriously considering leaving.
I got one of those years ago and never replied. Never heard back again.
A friend got one some time after that. He got scared and got a lawyer. He phrased a response letter with a reduced payment. He explained to me, that the phrasing is very important. You cannot under any circumstance show guilt for the alleged infringement, because then they come back with a vengeance (demands in the thousands of €). Paying the 900€ would already equate an admission of guilt.
Here are a couple of my favourite pictures displayed there currently, so you don't have to go back to that dumpster fire of a site:
To the surprise of no one, it's just a matter of time until local accounts in personal windows editions are removed entirely.
