Maybe those american companies simply shouldn't track the users and follow the local laws? The majority of GDPR fines are avoidable, if the websites would just use GDPR-compatible tracking banners, but they decided to break the law =&g

What if my highspeed internet flatrate is used up? After that I only have a slower speed (64 kbit/s) This should be enough to render text-based sites. E.g. HN or news sites. But the reality is, that basically no side is able besides HN

Yes. I enjoy writing C and as long as it does not face the internet and does not handle that much untrusted input I will just use it. I frankly haven't found an ecosystem in which I feel more comfortable than the one from C. Yes, C has

I simply don't like those binary formats. I can't use sed, grep, etc. with .docx files. My workflow for doing notes is primarily CLI-based, and thus using Word/Libreoffice is something I avoid if possible and if it makes sens

Yeah, KDE Connect did the same. I think it is the fault of the network stack of one those two devices, otherwise I can't explain that. Maybe that the devices receive/send data faster than they are able to process. (Is this even p

For me transmitting any file over the network between my android(Termux) and my laptop(Fedora) is awful. It starts with a quite fast transmission (Like 60 Mbps), but always drops to just a few kbps after a few hundred megabytes. Netcat does

`python -m http.server` if they are in the same network? Sure, you have no authentication/security, but for quick+dirty it works fine

> doing layout in HTML + CSS is a million times easier than in native frameworks I agree with your comment, except here: Doing layout in GTK is much easier than using HTML. Especially using Blueprint[0] you don't even have to touch

I use it daily since around 9 months, it is a great IDE. Even for non-GNOME applications, as you can write plugins that e.g. integrate linters/language servers with just a bit of effort compared to e.g. IntelliJ or Eclipse.

Couldn't you use e.g. the DSGVO/GDPR in the EU to get all the information about your IP, everything cloudflare has stored about it until you find the root cause?

Agreed. And while rust has fantastic ideas, those are frankly often badly executed: - Static linking of everything - Big dependency trees that somehow remind me of npm - Slow compilation, it should reach at least the average speed of C comp

Just the kernel is Linux, but with the "Linux" that is meant here, it has basically nothing in common, be it e.g. in the userland or "the spirit". The Linux from "Linux Smartphones" e.g. fosters an open, user-f

Ah, well you are right, webex is not even Electron, does not even remotely look like Qt. Discord was - last time I used it on the desktop - awfully sluggish and basically even worse than in a browser. We can just extend it to non-electron t

If Vala would have the same number of people working on it, it would be a perfect language probably for the majority of use cases. Faster compiler than rust, smaller binaries, easier syntax, good GUI as defacto library (GTK)

I formulated it a bit to informal, I meant, that the website should just don't collect data from me unless it is really needed. (E.g. Tracking identifiers are not needed or collecting fingerprints from WebCanvas and so on)

Maybe precedent was an unfair word - I apologize - but it shows, how Google can/could use the power of having one of the most used websites in order to influence the choice of the browser.

> proprietary WebKit That is not true. WebKit is opensource, there are other browsers that use it (GNOME Web), it is used in a lot of other applications, like GNOME Builder, Devhelp.

While I admire your stance on the internet being open I disagree. Yes, opening browser engines would be good for the competition. But you missed one point: You assume all players will play fair in the competition. If all browser engines wou
