I support any and all EU laws against Xitter out of spite, they could be making Elon Musk square dance for every piece of misinformation for all I care.

You can’t claim absolute presidential immunity for the crimes you did… By order of the Supreme Bootlickers, Trump can.

Ah yes, the classic Microsoft “what you really want is hidden behind a checkbox, otherwise you’ll get shit”.

I once turned that feature on thinking it was an actual backup (copies of my files in the cloud), I remember how angry I was when I found out it wasn’t a backup after all and just removed your files from your computer and only made them accessible online.

Hijacking the conversation as a newbie: What exactly is live compost (as opposed to just compost)? Perhaps I don’t know what search terms to use, because I didn’t find anything myself. Can you point me to any learning resources? Thank you!

Aren’t black holes per definition always clogged?

For me it was first VLC without really knowing what FOSS was, then KeePass while getting to know a bit about it, and finally Thunderbird. What did it for me was just how good and bullshit-free they were, especially in comparison to paid competitors. They really are the best products in their field, proving the quality often behind FOSS software.
