We already have more Datacenters than we should have considering the size of our country Including Microsoft.
They like to settle here, because they can get cheap renewable energy, which they then use as part of their advertising propaganda to claim they are working for a greener environment, when in reality it’s Denmark that has made the investments in the infrastructure for it since the 70’s to make it possible.

This is very true, but this time it’s not just Denmark, it many countries in Europe, and it’s also EU itself.
We are just among the first to have decided to begin implementing it.

It’s heise.de not the danish ministry.

It was taken over buy something called “Muse group”.
They added telemetry, which is actually illegal in EU, unless you warn about it, and then it can only be used if you are over 18.
I think that also makes it against to GPL license.
Then they pulled back, but later tried to do it partially or something I don’t recall.

Clearly Muse Group was a bad fit for a GPL open source project.

Edit PS:
From their homepage:

I can see that the audacious project remain under Muse Group control. I would look for something else.
Muse group changed the contributor license to take control away from the community, and give it only to themselves.

Later, Muse Group ruffled feathers with a new Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for Audacity, which contributors were required to sign if they wanted to continue to work on the project. This new agreement also stipulated that Muse Group must be given unrestricted rights to all contributions.

The ONLY reason to do this, is if you plan to use the code in a non GPL compliant context.

Tenacity

Oh, I thought maintenance of tenacity ended, when the original maintainer/developer got harassed and left.

No they tried it again later.

Has Audacity stopped their shenanigans? Or is it still a thing we should rather avoid?

Pigeon Hole Principle

Thanks I never heard of that, but that seems to perfectly describe the principle.

In my experience yes.

My ex was always rambling about how men were always unfaithful, “oops I slipped and my dick ended up inside her” she used to say, to describe how easily men are unfaithful. She made it absolutely clear she wanted a monogamous relationship.
I was never unfaithful to her, but of course it turned out she was herself unfaithful numerous times, and it was crazy how bad she was at hiding it, almost like she wanted me to break up. So I did, and good riddance!!!
Later when I was moving in with a new girlfriend, and I was collecting some of my things at my ex, she was all dressed up, and all over me, kissing me and trying to win me back. She tried to kiss me on my mouth but I turned my head so it was on the cheek.
My girlfriend was waiting in the car outside, and she saw the lipstick on my cheek when I came back, obviously not too happy about it. But I explained it was all my ex and not me.
Lucky for me she didn’t ditch me, and later my new girlfriend agreed to become my wife, and we’ve been together for 20 years now! 🥰

A friend of mine had just bought a very expensive apartment in Copenhagen together with his girlfriend. The papers were signed and the deal was closed. There are a few days where you can get out of the deal, and in that period my friend was told his girlfriend had been unfaithful. He didn’t believe it at first, but the day after the deadline for getting out of the purchase, his girlfriend broke up!

I’m not saying women are worse than men, but the idea that men are more unfaithful than women is bullshit. There are more men than women in the relevant age groups, so obviously on average women have more sex than men do. That’s simply a statistical necessity.

I played a bit with Suse around 2000, but I switched to Linux as my main OS with Ubuntu in 2005.
Now I use Manjaro, because I like the rolling release concept, and it’s easy to use different kernels, and it’s a good KDE distro IMO.
In my experience it’s also among the best for Steam games.

Maybe buy a system preinstalled with Linux.
That way you know the hardware supports Linux, and the installed Distro has the necessary drivers.

What annoys me is that this was an issue as far back as the early 90’s. On DOS and Windows 3.11. It’s such an annoyance that I don’t get how this problem still exist?!
If the unmount function can see if write is finished, a file copy function should obviously be able to see it’¨s own copy state.

You can use sync in terminal. But it’s tricky because it sometimes returns even when the writing isn’t finished.
My method is to use sync multiple time, if it returns immediately 2 times it should be clear,
Only then do i dismount the stick, because I don’t like to dismount a device with pending operations. But when the dismount says the stick is ready to be removed, you should be clear.

i bet MANY people are left with halfway stuff written on their usbs after being in a rush and removing it insecurely on linux after the transfer is “done”.

AFAIK it can actually destroy the USB if it’s removed while being written.

I’m using X11 so that could be. I just don’t get why it would be different between X11 and Wayland?

File transfer progress bars generally aren’t worth shit, I have no idea how this is still a problem. It dates back to the early 90’s, and it’s still not done properly.
Almost everything to do with file transfer report it to be finished before it actually is, because it doesn’t consider write back cache. So it’s only the reading part that is finished, not the writing part. Meaning the transfer isn’t actually finished. Never never never trust it is my motto. Personally I’d rather not have the dysfunctional progress bar, if I could have an actually accurate completion notification.

PS: I just switched back to KDE/Plasma after many years. Overall I’m pretty pleased, but also a bit puzzled about a lot of the simplifications.
like inability to disable caps lock, and the inability to change double click speed for the mouse. So now I need a startup command for the caps lock, and I needed to edit an ini file for the mouse for such simple things, that used to be accessible through settings???
But they finally added the ability to use numpad for hotkeys, which I found out, and was what made me switch back to KDE. Now I only miss the ability to use the scroll wheel on hotkeys too. To finally have similar functionality like I had 10-15 years ago with Compiz. 😜

Weird, am I blind or is there no SteamOS?
I know it’s based on Arch, but it is NOT Arch.

How is “someone called” enough evidence to enter peoples homes and arrest them?
These officers should lose their job,
