I actually have really fond memories of Sabayon, the community was really nice. It also served as a good gateway into Gentoo by giving you a pre-configured usable system, including its binary package manager, but also gentoo's emerge (not that you should use both at the same time).
Yep, I'm in Sweden, 30 and both know how to and do drive a manual car.
Hello everyone,
As the title says, I need to use Google Classroom for a class I'm taking with my local school. I didn't get a choice in tooling unfortunately. I have in my private life cut google out, not having used Gmail in over a decade, using Youtube through invidious, OSM instead of Google Maps, etc.
I'm already planning on using either Firefox multiple account containers or a different dedicated browser for school stuff entirely. Is there any other advice you have to protect my privacy as much as possible?
I'm in the EU and I know Google is more limited in the data they can collect from educational uses, but obviously I don't trust Google.
My last phone I kept for about 5 years. I had two issues:
- software support had ended
- the battery was severely degraded
fortunately there was a local shop who'd replace the battery (it wasn't a fairphone so I couldn't do it myself). If it wasn't for the software support I'd have gone that route and would be still using it now. It worked perfectly well for my use case. Unfortunately, I ended up retiring the phone and getting a new one.
I've found this too. Generally if I'm okay waiting for the answer I'll try and find the relevant lemmy community and ask that question there instead of clicking the reddit links. There are times though I simply need the answer and so of course I do click the reddit link.
Even so, if we all try and ask the questions we have here Lemmy will eventually be the place you find this information
I used it a lot, not through Google's gchat stuff, I ran my own XMPP server. It worked really well, I used the OTR encryption plugin in pidgeon. My work also used to use xmpp for internal chat within the company, however they switched to matrix like 5-6 years ago. Something I've since done personally too.
I like XMPP a lot, it worked well, including it being federated.
You can see all your rights when flying on the europa.eu website, it's a really good resource. As Jacob said though, it is 3 hours before you get compensation.
Swedish data protection authority (IMY) issued decisions against four companies and imposed a fine of 12 mio SEK (1 mio Euro) against Tele2 and 300.000 SEK against CDON
I live in Sweden. Yeah, the tap water is clean and can be drank straight from the tap without boiling, filtering, or treatment in the whole country.

KDE Itinerary gained the option to share locations via the Matrix protocol, so making sure NeoChat can actually properly handle this as well.
I use SMS and Matrix. I'd love to see something like Briar become more popular, or maybe XMPP make a resurgence as it's been a great federated chat protocol for a long while.
With a little effort, you can make your mypy-typed Python go zoom.
Just looked it up since I was sure I had read they had their own. On their wikipedia article it says:
In its early days on the Internet, the Qwant search engine relied on Bing to provide more relevant results. In 2016, Qwant claimed to be increasingly using its own results from its own exploration robots. It is still at the status of hybrid engine.[89] In 2020, Qwant claimed to have exceeded 50% of independent results for web searches, and 70% for all researchs
so I guess it's both bing and their own thing.
Agreed, it feels like it's a strong signal they don't take privacy seriously.
Nix is a tool for configuring software environments according to source files. I’ve been hearing more and more about Nix on Hacker News and Twitter. The idea of it appeals to me, so I’ve been tinkering with it over the past few weeks. My history with infrastructure as code Ten years ago, I discovere...

Following a noyb complaint and litigation over inactivity, the Swedish Data Protection Authoirty (IMY) has issued a fine of about € 5 million against Spotify.

I found and subscribed to https://sh.itjust.works/c/sverige@lemmy.helvetet.eu yesterday and when I view it on sh.itjust.works I don't see any posts but on the original instance I'm seeing many posts.
Does anyone know what's going on there?
We've looked at the user data and carrots just aren't that popular, so it doesn't make sense to keep supporting them. We're working on a new vegetable which we hope to show off sometime new next.
I prefer lichess, i like its analysis tools and the dev seems awesome.
I'm a opensuse tumbleweed user on my desktop and laptop. I also have an ubuntu home server.
I really like tumbleweed, but I have been thinking of switching to an immutable distro like guix or nix. I've tried guix several times and found it pretty good, but never stick with it due to its lack of KDE plasma support. Maybe I should give nix a try.
I used to have a VPS running a traditional OS (CentOS) that I eventually got rid of. One of the reasons I tried to migrate away from it was from the sysadmin perspective, I felt like the server once everything was configured was a bit of a snowflake.
Obviously configuring everything through nix and being able to easily rollback changes sound very compelling.
Have folks used nix as a server OS? How's your experience been?
I'll go first. I've used a lot of search engines, I used duckduckgo for quite some time but found their search results kinda bad. I'm currently using ecosia the search results are similar to ddg's but at least I'm planting trees, so there's that.
