I wasn’t referring to white people immigrating.

Here is an article today from Deutsche Welle covering this issue: https://www.dw.com/en/do-immigrants-have-to-learn-german-in-germany/a-70467984

The EU isn’t the US.

Most countries in Europe have this idea of integration where the foreigner learns and adopts the language and culture of the country. You’ll see lots of discussions of “failed” integration of foreigners, especially in Germany.

I think this is still a type of colonialism where they think there culture is better and the foreigner must change, rather than the other way around.

I think the US is a bit better in this regard as there is this idea of a cultural mixing pot and foreigners aren’t expected to “integrate”.

I think the point of co-operative/collaborative parenting would be for the group to agree on how to raise the children. You collectively raise the children, not each adult implementing their own rules/methods. When you have differing opinions, you would most likely compromise and come to a common ground. The whole point of working together is to operate as a group to reduce the workload and not work in isolation.

I’m not for sure this is fair to call it worker led, as the company is a normal capitalist company, not a worker owned collective/co-op.

Is it insane that so much government money is going to a profit company, which is trying to make as much money as possible, in turn wasting government/tax payer money.

Does anyone know if there has been updates on the project? I signed up for the newsletter last March, but have heard nothing since.

I started a new play through of Morrowind after lasting playing it in the 2000s. I used OpenMW on my Steam Deck, it plays really well.

It was really refreshing how more immersive it is as you have to read the journal and use the map to figure out where to go for quests. I really enjoy not having a quest marker guiding you.

The FOSS contributions from companies mentioned is only at the kernel level. And a lot that use the kernel, but with proprietary blobs for their hardware. I suspect that is because kernel/embedded development is hard and costly.

Most of the dominate OSes people use, with the exception of Windows, is based on an FOSS kernel, with then the layers above and applications being proprietary.

These software systems are being used to lock people in to the specific platforms and perform user hostile behavior. So while having the kernel be FOSS, it doesn’t result in user freedoms imagined by FOSS, it just companies reducing their costs.

There’s some truth to it. I’ve seen devs not clarify something from the designs with other stakeholders due to lack of social skills. You end up with something they implemented to the spec, but makes no sense it reality.

I have problems where when my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro will have been “asleep” for days in a backpack and then I try and use my Bluetooth headphones on another device, it will connect to the asleep Macbook.

I solved it by running a small program that kills Bluetooth when the laptop goes to sleep.

Doesn’t this waste more power being connected rather than actually sleeping? With a laptop lid closed, there’s no screen to show notifications on. What’s the point of this?

You can debloat the devices, removing all the shit from Google and the devices manufacture.

I recently got a Lenovo tablet from 2017, and once I removed all the shit software, including Google’s, it is quite useable.

But for their laptops the support has dropped to the lowest in years. Some intel MacBooks no longer get the latest version after 6 years.

As Apple has moved from focusing on hardware to services, including ads, they do have an interest on using your data.

There was even a scandal where with the App Tracking permissions added, which reduced third party data collection, but their 1st party apps like Stocks, doesn’t respect it, continuing to collect data even when the user has denied tracking globally.
