France has a very active craft beer scene, they’re available Even in small towns. But yeah, Cronenbourg etc is just meh

okay, thanks for the reply! I understand it now.

lots of good advice here. I just want to restate: do yourself a favor and migrate your HDDs over to any solid state drive. Whether that means “classic” SSDs with a SATA-Port or M.2s is your prerogative, but in either case you’ll start wondering how you could ever stand that s pinning noise and the vibrations and the slow, slow data transfer.

Kefir is a fermented dairy drink. It’s kinda viscous but also fluffy and very white, so yeah. Fitting name.

If you’d read the linked sources, you’d know that it’s not just speculation. Regardless of Telegram’s user base, it cooperates with Russian authorities. That remains true whether or not Ukranians use it to communicate. I’m not blaming Telegram for cooperating with Russian authorities as it’s well known that not doing so leads to drastic authoritarian measures.

But don’t take my word for it: Wikipedia: Blocking of Telegram in Russia

Sure, WhatsApp exposes you to US jurisdiction and Meta bullshit. At the same time, Telegram is very friendly with the Kremlin and associated intelligence services. So it basically comes down to whether you want to be spied on by Russian or US entities.

Wired story from a year ago about the FSB using Telegram to track down political activists.

I mean yeah, but it’s mainly funny because I had absolutely no idea what I was looking at. The color, pattern and lighting meant I really absolutely had no idea what I was looking at. A back? A sweater? A cat? A crotch? A knee? An ass? Something else?

So yeah.

And Germany!

Anyone else kinda wish for a video instead of that one kinda lame comparison picture?

Ooof that’s rough. Thanks. Dammit, the tablet looks so cool.

Since I don’t know either: could you tell me a bit about your thoughts about Starlabs and Purism?

Hopping on to the “I feel at home” train! One thing that really bugged me about the alternatives was that they weren’t as smooth and fluid. Like I scroll down and it jumps, I scroll up, it jitters etc.

Sync is the UI and the UX I’ve missed!
