I think you misunderstand the point. Of course we need more technical capabilities in Europe. But we don’t need the companies providing said capabilities to have the influence of Meta, Alphabet and co. And influence comes with size. Replacing a US based monopolist with one headquartered in the EU doesn’t get rid of the monopoly.
So no, we don’t need an European tech-giant. What we need is more in-house know-how and more medium sized companies.
No Plasma Mobile is not just a mobile mode for Plasma, but it’s own thing(even if it shares a lot of tech with Plasma). You therefore need to choose a distro that explicitly supports it.
Here is a list: https://plasma-mobile.org/get/
The closest you are going to get to Mint is Debian
For marketplace there is a project in development. It’s called Flohmarkt. Not quite ready yet for primetime but worth keeping an eye on
And to quote even more of your link (emphasis by me) :
Your petition allows Parliament, through its Petitions Committee, to conduct an ongoing reality check on the way in which European legislation is implemented and measure the extent to which the European institutions are responding to your concerns.
The problem is that the use of X by politicians is neither a question of legislation nor are the polititians an institution of the EU
You could ask the folks at @c3voc@chaos.social
If anyone has the complete talk it would be them.
tl,dr: it’s a Pixelfed instance by and for native people in Latin America
Looks to me like you are trying to update via fwupd. While this should work via GNOME Software, you can also use the the terminal to do this.
The command is fwupdmgr update
Mobian has an amd64 image available. If you are looking for a “tablet” tablet experience rather than just desktop gnome with an on screen keyboard then that is going to be your best bet.
In terms of DE I would stay with GTK enviroments because GNOME circle has created a pretty extensive environment of apps that feel native there. Both PHOSH and GNOME mobile offer basically the sane experience so you should try them both and see, which you like more in the details
Edit: here is the install guide: https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/x86
If you’re on Android then you can use Termux (via F-droid) to get ssh capabilities. I think there is also a different iOS app, but I’m no expert on that OS, so I can’t tell you its name. If you have a smart phone then you might have a ssh capable system after all
Found in the comments under the article:
It’s actually not. It’s open core (a.k.a. 80% open source with its AGPL licenced community edition and proprietary with the enterprise edition that adds a bunch of stuff on top)
I never had a problem with LibreOffice. But I also never encountered a situation at school where “advanced” MS office features where required. So, pure luck, I guess.
That being said, LO is not the only the only office suite for Linux. All of these have better MS Office support than LO:
I think they mean “live” in contrast to theoretical, eg wargames
Öl is German for oil and it is winning most elections as far as I know
Sure, but he didn’t advocate for a boycott, he talked about “going sailing” a.k.a. piracy
And that will improve the quality of the games how?
It’s a term that goes back to the cold war. There was a strike and the Soviet Union ended it violently by rolling tanks into the city. This put communists all over the world into a bit of a dilemma: on one side of the conflict was the working class making their opinion known (a communist value) and on the other the Soviet Union (the good guys). So whose side should they take?
It was British communists who coined the term “tankie” for those who defended the SUs actions to brand them as “fake communists” who are more interested in identity politics (the good guys did it, therefore it’s OK) than the plight of the working class.
The best part of the blogpost: They are going to invest even more next year.
Last week, the budget committee of the Bundestag decided to increase the Sovereign Tech Fund’s allocation by €4 million for next year. We’re honored and thankful for the German Parliament’s recognition of the importance of open source technologies, and for their continued trust in our work.
GNOME has too. There it’s called nightlight
Budgie might ship with an applet, that enables the functionality as well (not sure, it’s been a while, since I last used this DE)
