@SuperDicq @fence that could be, I don't remember to be honest.

What would your advice if I try it again? I'm now running Triskel. I was also thinking that possibly I don't really need disk encryption and avoiding that might make things faster too.

@SuperDicq @fence alright, 15 minutes seems quite ok. At some point I was playing with Guix and somehow it was takes hours as it needed to build all sorts of stuff.

I might try it again at some point. Thanks!! :)

@SuperDicq @fence it's an X200 I guess? How's the performance? How long does it typically take to install updates?

@Eetschrijver if that doesn't work out, maybe we could petition Elon Musk instead to rename Xitter to Hitler. Or HitlerX or something like that.

@Natanox at one point I discovered there is a huge amount of videos on glitching in games. Maybe they were just trying to be part of that hype?

@janvlug @knmi Oneerlijke concurrentie lijkt mij een onzin argument. Dat zou een overheidsinstelling verbieden om informatieproducten van haar eigen data te maken, terwijl die data met belastinggeld tot stand zijn gekomen. Het zou betekenen dat de overheid een monopolie geeft aan commerciële partijen met belastinggeld. Bovendien zijn de KNMI data openbaar. Waarom mag de KNMI daar niet zelf een app van maken?

@lynchantropen het is opnieuw een voorbeeld van de wetenschap negeren. De duidelijkste situatie is die van intersekse personen die niet zomaar onder man of vrouw te plaatsen zijn op basis van aangeboren uiterlijke kenmerken.

@LiefhebberV veel van het geld voor die sigaretten die gebruikt zijn als bron voor de peuken, zit natuurlijk wel in de accijns ;)

@bert_hubert yes, it's a big privacy and security issue with Microsoft's mail hosting. I have to use https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unmangle-outlook-safelinks to avoid Microsoft learning about links/URLs that I click on, also many that are used within the corporate intranet and should not really be exposed to the outside. (Doesn't really matter when Exchange isn't on-premise anymore though.)

@ryanc thank you for pointing that out. Indeed not so well phrased, I edited it.

It's impressive you are so strong and are writing about how things feel! I mainly wanted to express that for a CIS person without any doubts about their gender, any misgendering would unlikely trigger negative emotions even in the example you gave. It is easy to underestimate this gap between CIS and trans people and it also took me a while before I realized this importance around making pronouns explicit.

@ryanc I don't expect this to be similar in any way. As a CIS man, if somebody or some system would explicitly treat me as a woman, there would be more a surprise reaction.

A transgender has likely endured misgendering for a relatively long period, to a traumatic extend and in all sorts of contexts.
Misgendering will always seem much more emotional than for the average CIS person. I don't think I could ever imagine what a trans person feels in that regard.

@JeroenBaten @civodul yep, indeed I know it from there too, but they still license it from the firm of which they split off. And I understand it's also used at one more firm that was spun off from the same parent. So I suspect it would be at just those three companies.

@JeroenBaten @civodul is cadappl actually known and used outside of its home province? This is the first time I encounter it mentioned outside.

@VeroniqueB99 @janvlug yeah it is quite specific, but I think you might find it interesting. I can recommend reading what Jan linked to.

Possibly a bit easier would be to read this story: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html

It also happens to be related to education :)

@dim0kq is there also a Ukrainian version of this article?

@zmicier я думаю що люди які знають українську або російську, багато розуміють. Мені цікаво :)

@rysiek I saw multiple posts complaining about a bilionaire speaking. I was confused by that.

I think it had better be highlighted that people have a problem with a fascist speaking. Then it's more clear that there is a problem.

@rysiek that could well be, but in these cases I care a billion times more whether somebody is a fascist or not than whether someone is a billionaire or not ;)

@VeroniqueB99 @janvlug I would agree that such services should be available at no cost, but we should not forget that "free" in "free software" is unrelated to software being available at no cost. In Dutch for instance we talk about "vrije software" and "gratis onderwijs". Only English uses the same word for both.

I still don't fully understand what you refer to with "free education" if you relate it to "free" as in "free software".

@VeroniqueB99 @janvlug you're using the word "free" multiple times, but its meaning is not always obvious. With "Free Health Care", do you refer to the financial costs or the freedom to choose particular care providers and be in control over your healthcare as in "free software"?

Also "Free College" is (apparently) Walfdorf education if you use the word "free" as in "free software". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education

I don't think this type of education suits everybody.
