It's finally the year of Linux on the desktop, and all it took was the end of the rules-based international order
There is a non-zero and increasing possibility that we need to get used to Libre Office, Linux and paying for a Proton webmail account.
The big mistake of that statement is that it was targeted at morons: at the 'never here Keir' people and the 'why not do a Love Actually?' people. Did absolutely nothing to prepare ground for 'this is what defending the High North *actually means*' or 'why we should all get password managers'.

Google is forcing more generative AI on Gmail users. I couldn’t think of a better moment to finally drop Gmail (and other Google services)!
I have a guide to do just that here: disconnect.blog/getting-off-...

Thread!
Ich verstehe schon, dass da nichts von einen Tag auf den anderen passiert. Was ich mir von zentralen demokrat. Institutionen – von Ministerien über Parteien bis hin zu Politiker:innen – jedoch erwarte, ist, dass diese Fragen tatsächlich ernsthaft diskutiert werden. Wann ist die Grenze überschritten?
Ergänzend möchte ich hier nochmals deutlich festhalten:
Neben den ohnehin weit verbreiteten rassistischen, sexistischen & faschistischen Inhalten auf der Plattform verbreitet das zentrale Feature von 𝕏, der KI-Chatbot Grøk, derzeit in großem Ausmaß Material, das als CSAM* einzuordnen ist.
