Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations.

But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no longer have to pay eye watering roaming fees for calls and data when you travel to other EU countries, as it was common until 5-10 years ago.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if big tech has at least some constraints onto what it can do with your data and how much choice you have as a customer.

Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you, as a EU citizen, can benefit from the services of any other embassy of any other EU country if stranded abroad.

Those who try to depict the EU as a bureaucratic hell worth dismantling are those who hate the impact that its laws have on their freedom of exploiting markets, exploiting customers or living out of rent money.

Or those who hate the combined economic and political power of a united Europe with a single market because it threatens their national interests, and they’d rather exert their leverage with a bunch of divided and weaker countries instead.

Europe isn’t perfect and a lot can be improved. But those who call for its demise DO NOT talk in your interests.

I am the daughter of Gaza. I bear the responsibility for my elderly parents, and securing food and medicine for them has become harder than ever before, after our educational center, our source of livelihood, was destroyed.
This is a plea for life, not a passing post.
Whoever can extend a helping hand, let them come forward now.
And whoever cannot, let them be our voice and share the plea.
Humanity is measured in these moments.
Do not leave Gaza alone 🤍

FreeBSD's KDE Desktop Install Option Ready For Testing

As part of enhancing the FreeBSD experience on laptops and desktops, FreeBSD developers have been working toward adding a convenient desktop install option to their text-based installer for easily deploying the KDE Plasma desktop along with the necessary GPU drivers. After it didn't get wrapped up in time for the FreeBSD 15.0 release, that desktop installer option is now ready for testing...

Ein knappes Jahr seit dem Wechsel ins Fediverse. Was mir fehlt: Austausch mit Künstlern und Kollegen aus Literatur und Show. Wo finde ich die? Gibt es Gruppen? Oder nur Listen? Wenn ich oder eingebe, finde ich nur eine Handvoll Einträge. Fühle mich ein bisschen verloren hier. Was ich nicht vermisse: Werbung, Filter und "Schaut-her-wie-geil-mein-Leben-ist"-Posts.

RE: vis.social/@infobeautiful/1160

Last time I posted this, I got a little spate of exceptionally low-quality replies about how it’s actually a good thing to misrepresent risk and old people will die anyway and who cares if they do.

I hope those people see this again and get even angrier.

It's been fun, it feels like a new superpower to "quickly fix something and send a PR". It's also a super dangerous rabbit hole generator, because now that it's easy to fix stuff, it's very tempting to do so… 🐇

My prototype has some rough edges:

It clones the latest commit, which doesn't always compile using the setup (but it seems reasonable to check whether the bug is still there).

And invoking the phases of the nixpkgs stdenv manually can be tricky. nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stabl

The EU will soon adopt its 20th sanctions package against Russia.

But the previous 19 haven’t changed one basic fact: Russia still imports hundreds of foreign-made components — including those manufactured by European companies — to mass-produce drones that are terrorizing Ukrainian cities.
