IMO Kate is just VS Code or Sublime Text but worse. The LSP never works, I can't have multi-caret editing, it's harder to extend it's functionality, etc. etc.

Just use open source VS Code (or better yet VS Codium), at that point.

Great article but is there a petition to sign?

Or anything else I could do?

You can poison the well:

• Glaze makes it near impossible for gen AI to reproduce your style!
• Nightshade makes it near impossible for gen AI to recognise what's in your art and learn from it!

I could understand having a pet, but not taking in a random stray without question.

Some strange cat walks into my house? It gets plopped right back into the street, that ain't my cat!

An adware whatever should also be avoided.

This is not a good place to recommend commercial services.

I feel a lot of appliance brands are missing but for some reason I can't think of any.

Also, many chocolate brands including Lindt, Tony's Chocolonely and Ritter Sport (didn't forget this time!)

I mean... It is European...

Deezer used to be better until they blocked my access because I had to turn off my adblocker; I had a premium account at the time so sure I'll turn it off (a bit weird that it still asked), but it kept blocking my access...

It started blocking Firefox's built in tracker blocking... Even for Premium accounts!

I'll sail the high seas for anything not on Bandcamp (even tho it's American) at that point, fuck!

Oh yeah, local chocolatiers tend to be the best, although also by far the most expensive.

In general, in Europe it's easy to avoid foreign products if you buy local (baker's bread, fisher's fish, greengrocers' vegetables, etc.), but also assuming you earn well.

Not that bad by far. We have laws protecting our rights to peacefully protest even if it does disrupt infrastructure (blocking roads or entrances is the usual form of protest due to this)

I didn't know protesting could be dangerous in the US; getting arrested and serving a few months in jail for the greater good is one thing but I've seen news of US officers straight up killing people they didn't like (esp. of African descent)

Oh that's an amazing one, I really should've thought of that!

Kwadratisch, praktisch, gut!

Both the desktop and mobile versions of Firefox have local machine translation built in, while it doesn't support that many languages it works well with most European ones!

I've had moments where Bol didn't have something but Amazon did. In those cases it's because it came from AliExpress. Might as well just order at AliExpress at that point :-/

The snacks section could use a lot of chocolates but then again as European it's hard to find American chocolate: Milka, Ferrero Rocher, Lindt, Tony's Chocolonely, Callier... Just to name a few.

I was surprised to see Toblerone on the American side, apparently they're under an American company nowadays! TIL
Also, Logitech isn't Chinese? Huh, TIL as well

I don't know Ardour but these are actually solid!

Who's using VLC in 2025? It renders colours in mkvs so badly sometimes! mpv (with SMPlayer as front end) is where it's at!

Birds do rule.

You really needed a URL shortener, didn't you, you devil?

I think we can both agree you're quite an exception.
