They are right, the democracy in USA is decreasing rapidly and is back at 1960s level now according to the latest V-Dem report

The scale and speed of autocratization under the Trump administration are unprecedented in modern times. Within one year, the USA’s LDI score has declined by 24%; its world rank dropped from 20th to 51st place out of 179 nations

+1, my parents are using Mint and they are only browsing the web. They have not complained anything after almost a year. In my case, I didn't dare to set up automatic updates so I'm updating the computer when I visit them.

This is the way, both for tipping and other local customs.

EULA is not valid in EU. Contract terms that are unfair under EU law have no legal or binding force on consumers.

Completely off topic but I used allabolag.se that gets data from the quarter reports for all listed companies and that page said EARL GREY HOLDING SàRL. So I had to find out what was correct, it turns out EQT sold it one year ago.

I have a document where I have collected different clothing brands that are based in Europe, most of them are also manufacturing in Europe. I will check the countries for them and add it in a new comment if I have time during the weekend.

Is it the same people that works with wars and video games? EU is big and they can work on many things at the same time.

EU has done improvements on our right to our hardware, which includes right to repair and software updates of the operating system for five years. Looking into the right to our software, including video games, could have been the next step of that.

Isn't the upvote and downvote buttons intended for good and bad quality of the comments? A comment can have high quality and provide something to the discussion even if most people disagree with it.

You have mentioned under both Sweden and Denmark. The brand is Swedish but it is owned by a Danish company, does that mean it should be sorted under Denmark?

You can add some more brands

I think all these brands except for the fast fashion and Morris have production in Europe.

Yeah, EU was probably thinking that it is a bunch of young adults which wants to continue play their favorite games. Good for them but not something worthy of their time. Personally, I think it is worth to do improvements to things that are not necessary but I can understand from their point that they want to focus on other things. With that being said I have a hard time to believe that everyone at EU needs to work on crucial projects all the time.

I didn't know it existed several Suva brands, I meant the socks.

Eton and Morris are Swedish brands but Eton is owned by EARL GREY HOLDING SàRL which is based in Luxembourg, probably moved for tax reasons. Morris is owned by HOLTA INVEST AS which is a Norwegian private investment company. Is it supposed to be which country the brand is located in or where the owners are from?

I regret so much that I didn't, I was planning to build a new PC now or in the beginning of next year. But with the current RAM prices I will stick to my 5 years old AMD 5600x. I will have to start playing games in my backlog if the framerate in new games becomes too low.

Alecta is one of the big private pension fund companies in Sweden, they are investing money for millions of Swedes. Hopefully they choose to invest the money in European companies instead.

Dan should not reject a medium girlfriend who like to bake cookies, then he will have an endless supply of warm cookies.

I looked on the topics of the video and all of them make sense. However, I think the biggest problem for average persons is that they don't care enough to watch a video that is 80 minutes long (if they even find it). Also, I'm not sure if video is the correct format since I prefer text and some pictures. But I'm not an average user :) for a grandma a video might be better, I don't know.

For feedback of the video itself, the parts where you show Cinnamon, Gnome and KDE could benefit from showing the screen more and how to navigate in the OS. If I try to imagine how an elderly person would feel about changing OS to Linux from using Windows for decades then I'm not sure watching does short glimpses would convince them that they can handle it.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, I'm trying to give constructive feedback. I think it is a nice initiative and from what I saw the topics are well chosen and you speak slowly and clearly.

Mandatory reference to Protondb, which lists how well every game performs on Linux. 84 % of the top 100 games on Steam are rated as gold or platinum.

I have not deleted so many apps and accounts, but I have stopped using them or reduced the usage.

Windows 10 -> Linux but Windows 10 is still installed on another disk so technically it is dual boot even if I have not used Windows for months.

Office -> Libre office

Gmail and Hotmail -> Protonmail and Posteo

Google maps -> Here maps and Comaps

Onenote -> Notesnook

Nice! Hopefully their experience can be used to help other agencies to move to Linux and open-source software. It also shows how long time it takes to move for a big organisation, in 2018 it was 82% of the PC workstations that was running GendBuntu.

They can't, but that is not the purpose. If the chat control passes then all big services will be forced to leave EU or build in a backdoor. That will give them control over more than 90 % of the population and satisfies their goal. You and your friends are a rounding error. And if you would perform a crime, or are suspected of one, they can use the fact that you encrypt your messages against you.

The second round of the presidential election in Portugal is between the the moderate socialist António José Seguro and the far-right André Ventura. Ventura represent the Chega party which got 22.8% last year in the general election.

My local news site wrote that they changed back to times new roman because the calibri font was developed for people who had difficulties to read (like dyslexia I assume), thus DEI and the current administration has to change it back.
