Dual UK/US citizen here . . . living in the Scottish highlands. Hate to break it to you mate, but Brits do not think about this. Ever. 1/3 of the countries on Earth celebrate their independence day as being independent FROM England. The US just isn’t that special.
PS. I personally spend quite a bit of time working to add Scotland to that list!
FYI . . . PocketBook eReaders were founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, now headquartered Switzerland. Also their eReaders are all based on a Yocto linux build.
If you are in the UK or EU there is an option . . curve pay (www.curve.com). I run it with a debit card on my FairPhone 3+ using /e/ with MicroG. Works perfectly for tap and pay.
In the age of a 1TB SSD costing $50 . . . frankly who cares. Flatpak’s are the easiest to deploy Linux packages . . . a perfect pairing for Mint - an OS designed to “just work”.
Was there no window nearby??
Second vote for Pinta. About the closest thing to paint.net there is for a Linux desktop . . .
There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.
Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books- Four Futures:Life After Capitalism
It’s a quick read . .and highly recommended. https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/59-four-futures
I was a batch 2 owner of the FairPhone 1, the FairPhone 2, the FairPhone 3+ . . . and just a month ago upgraded to the new FairPhone 6. And a guy who absolutely loathes Bluetooth earbuds. Yet I don’t miss the 3.5mm jack for a simple reason . . . wired USB-C earbuds are a thing. I picked up a cheap set from JBL and never thought about the 3.5mm jack again.
Yes, I agree . . . they could have/should have stuck with it. But honestly . . it’s no huge loss.
The same thing can - and has - happened in England.
Translation: Imagine if the world’s lingua franca wasn’t English but Mandarin.
I run a FairPhone 3+ with /e/ OS and MicroG. CurvePay (https://www.curve.com/) runs perfectly and supports tap and pay.
Like many others, my journey was Digg --> Reddit --> Lemmy.
Hopefully the federated design of Lemmy means I never have to update the graphic above.
It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.
You rather made my point - everything about morality is relative. There are no moral absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . . yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF.
As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!
Everything is relative to your prospective.
I worked 10 years for a major EU defense contractor. Mostly on civilian projects, but not exclusively. For many years, I hid my employer from acquaintances & friends - when asked, I would just say “I work in software”. After I left that company, one of the anti-tank missile systems I had a very (very) small part developing started to tear the fuck up Russian tanks across Ukrainian farm lands.
I don’t hide that history today.
With this news, now would be the perfect time to start the discussion of converting one of the 2 train tunnels into a road for EV’s and electric lorries. Tailpipe exhaust is THE reason why cars today must be loaded into a train for the trip . . . EV’s make that unnecessary.
If they are not going to invest . . . lets re-purpose part of it.
I uninstalled it. Nice idea . . and I’m sure someday a FOSS voice assistant will exist. Today is not that day.
THIS is the answer. No ads are played on my front drive. Ever.
