Just stop talking to them, they have no jurisdiction

If they try and claim there’s no jurisdiction, the other party might disagree. Especially if the contract has a provision that defines which jurisdiction/court is responsible for resolving disputes.

A guess is finding a proper and legal way to break a contract is preferable for companies. An arbitrary breach of contract might make a company look unreliable, could make it more difficult to sign any contract in the future.

IANAL so I have no idea if they’d risk penalties as well.

Not necessarily. Conversations have reasonable battery usage without using Google’s push messaging system (GCM). They rely instead on XMPP protocol features and client optimisations to limit battery usage.

A group of mine is currently discussing migrating to Matrix. Among the arguments, it’s said to be more popular than our current messenging protocol, but it’s also said to be a drain on battery.

I saw one comparison saying the official Matrix client on Android drain battery 10x faster than some well written XMPP clients. So I’m not going to migrate for now. May reconsider once Matrix clients reduce battery usage significantly.

Recall the time when Windows came on a DVD, had no Microsoft account option on install, no ads in settings nor in the startup menu, no AI slop.

It was still shit, but it feels shittier now, and harder to setup and configure in a way that’s bearable.

Atomic distro sounds like an interesting way to avoid breakage due to admin/user mistakes, so it’s a good suggestion. But it doesn’t help much with bugs in new software releases.

So the best choice depends on what exactly caused instability in OP’s case.

Please have Police focus on better using the data it already has. Rather than just giving it the power to hoard more personal data and endangering public liberties.

Existing police records are riddled with errors:

• https://www.lesnumeriques.com/vie-du-net/alerte-cnil-trop-erreurs-dans-fichiers-police-n29925.html

Piling more data on top won’t fix these errors. Putting more effort in fixing errors would make the records more useful to police, and would probably avoid ruining the lives of innocents people.

C’est pour le bien de nos chers parlementaires et ministres.

Somewhat obvious tips to get a more stable experience:

• Use a distribution that favour stability over being on the bleeding edge. Like Debian stable, or another distribution that maintain LTS releases,
• Install software from the distribution’s official package repositories. Avoid third party packages and repos as much as possible. If you really need a third party repo, verify it’s compatible with your specific distro and has reputation for being well maintained,
• When you do see a problem, take time to troubleshoot and if necessary make a bug report with necessary information for developers to identify the problem, so there’s a better chance to see it fixed.
• If you use Linux in a professional settings, there is paid support available out there, in some cases this get you priority for bug fixes.

A rogue hole looks even more dangerous than a rogue wave.

One is a passenger train, another is a freight train carrying hazardous materials. The risks are VERY different.

Also, if you’re looking for something to blame for the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, look at lax regulations:

Following the derailment, reaction and commentary focused on industry working conditions and safety concerns, including: the lack of modern brake safety regulations,[3] the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR),[4] reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight.

Thanks for the information.

The app is distributed in a third party repo, not the main F-Droid repo, so before installating I’m trying to check if it’s open-source, had some independent review, and is safe to install.

The source is available but the license isn’t recognised as OSS according to the OSI website. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay https://opensource.org/licenses

This may explain why it’s not in the main F-Droid repo. It’s better than closed source anyway.

Trade negociation is one of those situations where EU countries need to band together, and should avoid seeking arbitrary carveouts that weaken the overall EU negociating position.

This just shows the EU is more sensitive to tariff on alcool, and has a weak point in that area that others can exploit during negotiations.

Sustainability is not typically part of a bank’s vocabulary.

But there are terms a bank can understand : systemic risk for the economy, the prospect of fossil fuel investments becoming stranded assets, negative effect on public relation and how it can be a competitive disadvantage if a bank do not attract customers who value human life.
