Seems like a good time to play it for the first time too. I just need to find a decent recap of the first two

As far as I know, Fairphone is still Dutch for instance and the factory are in Europe too. But sure, at the end of the day components are still Chinese. Not much you can do about that.

Still, I wouldn’t call it European then

Control is an amazing game, I recently replayed it before finally starting Alan Wake 2 (it’s so damn good!) and while perhaps a bit too easy the story is imho one of the best in the medium.

Thankfully I can still use the app, it seems they are rolling out these changes perhaps across test regions.

Sounds reasonable. But do Europeans have the money to buy cars at higher prices, I wonder. With salaries stagnant and our purchasing power slowly eroded year after year the Chinese carved a market that European manufacturers all but abandoned.

I think that as a community we should try to keep android as open as possible first of all. I daily drive GrapheneOS for instance and I don’t feel the need for a Linux phone. I get that both can coexist but I’m afraid we won’t be able to carve a big enough niche to make Linux phones work.

While I fully agree and support Codeberg stance on vibecoded projects I’m not sure I follow their reasoning here. For instance they complain about webcrawlers scraping their site to train their LLM models but I don’t see why getting rid of the vibecoded repositories wouldn’t make them more palatable for scrapers. A site full of human made code is infinitely more useful to those companies than a slop infested honeypot.

A friend of mine is restoring an old muscle car and I bet he’d love something like this as well. It’s a niche but we Linux enthusiasts can be quite passionate so I do think the audience is out there for sure.

This makes a lot of sense actually. It’d be awesome to have more options for head units. I’m not sure about the target though, amateurs working on their car or restoring old models? I don’t see a lot of companies choosing a Linux based head unit for their cars. But the same argument could be said for Linux phones too.

I fail to see the point. The company sells laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled not phones which are the targets of such apps. Linux phones are still in their infancy and for Android we do have excellent apps like Mapy pulling their data from OSM. What am I missing?

Thank you, I’ll check those out. I’m considering trying to get CKA and after that I’ll see how it goes. I’ve heard good things about KodeKloud learning paths and 100 days challenge, I think I’ll get the paid subscription anyway.

Every year or so I start Fallen Order again and I tell myself this time surely I’ll play the whole game. I’m a huge souls and SW fan but for some reason it never clicked.

Heroic is great, it’s convenient and has improved a lot recently. Remember to buy your GOG games through Heroic to help those lads out!

Seems like Donnie doesn’t feel like annoying the Chinese. I’m sure he will block America’s NATO allies though.

A lot of doom and gloom posting on this topic but I feel like it’s a step in the right direction even though for now it’s just a plan. I wish my country would follow.

Just buy refurbished. Better for the environment too.

Diesel jeans are top notch. Italian brand, I really like it.

I use Waterfox and Ecosia. Qwant doesn’t play nice with VPNs.

I’m finally playing Crysis. For a 2007 game it’s really good looking. The shooting is less frantic and a lot more tactical than I thought it would be though. Great experience so far.
