    Didn’t know this guy before but it really doesn’t matter if he was literally Hitler and decides to start using Linux. It’s an operating system not a club, it really makes no difference. Maybe slightly more moderation for people on linux communities on mainstream platforms (e.g. reddit).

    This OS isn’t made by the EU, but it’s goal is to become sponsored by them:

    Is EU OS a project of the European Union?

    Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.

    The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.

    Personally I don’t see why EU wouldn’t just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it’s a good system as far as I know and it’s home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).



  • I don’t really have a horse in this race eitherway, but what about finding a person who can draw a decent looking thumbnail in 15 minutes? Probably that’s gonna be using various webservices such as fiverr or something along the way?

    But the whole idea of comparing them is kinda funny. As if that human would just be turned off and not consuming any energy if they weren’t making a thumbnail for your blog. Though maybe they’ll make a cup of coffee they wouldn’t have otherwise before getting to work. You never know!





  • My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

    That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.
