Ich war bisher ganz grundsätzlich skeptisch gegenüber dem Konzept der wehrhaften/streitbaren Demokratie (und aufgrund dessen auch von Parteiverboten) eingestellt. Erst recht, wenn schon “Fremdenfeindlichkeit” für ein Parteiverbot reichen sollte.

Ich denke, für solche Fälle, wo einfach Vorsitzende von Parlamenten sich weigern, ihren verfassungs- und geschäftsordnungsmäßigen Pflichten nachzugehen, muss es aber irgendeine Möglichkeit geben, dagegen etwas zu tun, denn sonst ist die Demokratie wirklich in Gefahr.

The UI platform with the largest install base of all is the web. Nearly all computer users can use your GUI if you develop it for the web, it’s almost the definition of the universal open standard for GUIs.

Browsers can only execute JavaScript or WebAssembly, so you need to write it in JavaScript or in something that compiles to these things, e.g. TypeScript (but there are also ways to compile other languages to JS or WASM).

so by now even Microsoft acknowledges that it has lost the battle of making computing synonymous with Windows?

FOSS release of Windows when?

I remember reading once that in the very first years of the existence of the German Democratic Republic, television was the form of mass media that was most critical of the regime. It just wasn’t as influential yet as newspapers and radio, so they didn’t care about it as much; when it became more popular, it too came more under the control of the communist regime.

I certainly agree that the Internet should be by and for individuals; whether we can in the long term do completely without corporations, I am not sure, but the current “algorithmic curation” is definitely a problem.

I mean I agree with that in principle, but: before the Internet, of course big corporations influenced kids and adults! Before the internet only big corporations had the resources and practical ability to distribute any information to a lot of people.

The promise of the internet was that we would have a society where we could all have a say and the flow of information would be democratized. You are right that, because of “algorithms”, that promise hasn’t really been fulfilled.

Das ist das einzige konkrete Thema, das du im OP erwähnt hast. Wenn es andere Themen gegeben hätte, wegen denen du diese Einstellung zur Politik hast, hättest du sie wohl erwähnt, hast du aber nicht.

Ist das für dich echt das wichtigste Thema auf der Welt, dass es möglichst vielen ausländischen Menschen möglich sein sollte, nach Deutschland einzuwandern bzw. in Deutschland zu bleiben? Du scheinst das ja geradezu für ein universelles Menschenrecht zu halten.

Wir haben wohl alle unsere Prioritäten.

Ubuntu supports a wider range of devices than Debian? Since when? I was under the impression that Debian supported all or nearly all architectures the Linux kernel supports, Ubuntu only a few popular ones?

Debian is food at peaceful !

No it wouldn’t, but people would only see them if they were part of a preexisting community where such things are posted or they specifically looked for them.

On the Internet, censorship happens by having too much information for our limited time and attention span, so going after recommendation algorithms will work.

OsmAnd (another OSM-based app) allows you to set underlay maps from external sources which will be downloaded from those external sources as needed. I do not know if Organic Maps has this feature too but it can clearly be done.

It does. Joe Biden was VP for a lot longer than Harris, but according to the table linked in the OP, he cast 0 tie-breaking votes; if you look at Senate composition during that time, you can see that there was always a very clear majority for one party. Since 2017 it’s always been fairly close to 50-50, so there needed only to be a few (if any) senators breaking from their party to create ties, so Pence and Harris got plenty of opportunities to cast tie-breaking votes.

the thing is that not all of them use systemd or bash or zsh or even X11 (servers don’t usually have X11 installed)

All of them use a Linux kernel and many components that were originally developed for GNU, especially the C library.

GTK being a part of GNU (at least originally)

“The OS” doesn’t exist. The operating systems you’re talking about are called Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, RHEL, etc etc. The main work of making an actually usable OS from the various free software components others have written has always been done by the teams responsible for these products.

But we still need a way to refer to them collectively, and it used to make sense to call them “Linux” because they were pretty much the only operating systems that used the Linux kernel, but now that Android is the most widely used OS on the planet, it doesn’t anymore, and this alone is a reason to say GNU/Linux unless you want to include Android.

ahhh i remember being a bored teenager spending his life customizing his desktop too…

Nowadays I just want a working system where I can get things done, haven’t touched my desktop environment settings in a while and certainly don’t use things like cubes or wobbly windows anymore.

Linux on an Intel-based MacBook Air was my daily driver for years. It worked perfectly fine; battery life was lower than on macOS though.
