How many people will turn off AC and will not bake that cake, or wash clothes, when they know they're going off their own battery vs some electricity distributor's battery shared by others? And if someone is dumb enough to do high

Clicking a box gives person a chance to decide whether they want to enter a website or not, without getting exposed to it immediately. It's not useless. It also povides no useful information to the website operator, which is good. If t

Actually, Pinebook Pro users benefited from a lot of upstreaming work done/encouraged by Google/Chromium team for these devices. Upstream support for Gru Chromebooks predates Pinebook Pro exactly by 3 years. And I did not do much

These things have upstream kernel/u-boot support, so it should be rather smooth sailing with uptodate kernel.

Non-citizens in Germany have no free speech rights period. You get banned and deported even for making lectures about unfavorable topics, as it seems. That's quite different from protesting, since you're not making anyone listen t

Windows is just less organized, with files appearing all over the place and without user having knowledge what's really needed. On Arch Linux, all system files are listed, along with their content hashes and expected permissions/o

Yeah, it's basically an Arch Linux install. I just rsync it to a new workstation every 5-7 years (or move the disk) and go on. :)

My peace of mind comes from my self hosting in 2025 looking the same as my self-hosting in 2005 (except a move to systemd). I haven't even re-installed my workstation OS since 2006 or so.

It's just indicative of a wider trend in some western countries to punish and threaten people protesting their complicity in genocide. Same thing or perhaps worse is happening in Germany, US, etc. One can just as well ask why would a d
