Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.

The chinese are falling into Trump’s trap and are actively helping him make his promise true: gas is cheap.

What a 5D chess player!

/S on all that, OfC !

They have all kind of trades that allows them to move around : the ever present food trucks or amusements machines for fairs, the traditional chair seating and cushioning repairs (it costs a lot, and their unique abilities and traditions is sought for antiques).

They also do all kinds of odd jobs on the cheap. Redoing the whole masonry isn’t something you would ask someone who isn’t seriously settled but simply refreshing a paint job? Cleaning up a roof, a driveway? Trimming a few tall trees? Sure.

Are they clean about taxes? Probably not.

Are they all drug smugglers and thieves? I don’t think more than the general population, really. Crimes tend to get higher when they are around but which part is them doing it and which part is people using the presence of a recurent scapegoat ?

Most gypsies do in continental western Europe, nice cars too. I can also tell you where they were heading is a very luxurious area where mansion owners are maybe a bit more equal than a farmer who wants to rent out his field.

This is getting ridiculous beyond anything. I don’t believe for a second this can really be applied, China being the real makers of every and any everyday object bought in the US. Even stuff proudly labelled “made in the USA” is often the assembly in the US of Chinese parts from the pencil or lighter to the refrigerator and the tin can containing corn. Those tariffs wouldn’t last a week. Also, what I just said here is enough to make a few countries start dumping their US bonds if those tariffs last more than a few days.

Yet it 100% is made to the bourbon minimal conditions. So it’s Bourbon, deceptively (strong word here for the lulz) labeled as whiskey?

Who or what made you think WSL was meant for the masses? Enabling it is hidden deep in the settings. Just like things in windows not meant for the masses.

Had you searched, you would have seen what is recommended for the masses that want to give Linux a spin, Linux on a USB stick. You install it using apps that are on windows. Then reboot your computer and here goes your full Linux. Take out the USB, reboot, windows again.

Jack Daniels put whiskey on it’s bottles, don’t they?

I doubt it changed much and it sounds logical too.

Different countries give different rights for their EU residents. The required minimum is EU parliament vote, but countries may or may not extend it to other elections. The participation to local election votes is quite recent in France (about 10 years). I don’t see how we’ll make them vote in more elections though without a change in the constitution (the blocking words are usually “representative of the nation” or “national electorate”, they clearly ban foreign votes, even if they our our most trusted friends.

EU citizens cannot vote in French presidential or parliamentary elections (They can in mayoral and EU elections though). But I get what you meant.

Good reason, they were just born in the wrong country to have the James Bond experience, they should have watched Homeland.

They are already building one in Dresden, others are planned to follow. The CHIPS act is at last having an effect.

Luxury goods are not really hit by tariffs nor taxes the same way more basic goods might be. A $ 4000 bag that goes to $ 4 500 is way more manageable for the kind of people who want to and can buy it (it may even make it more desirable for those who want and can’t buy it).

Because there are people getting into prison because they are political opponents. Navalny or The mayor of Istanbul are examples of such tactics.

Interesting to note that since 2022, he lost under 1% of his population to the war… Meat attacks could go on for years on end and it would barely move him.

You got to get him out of the picture to have this war end. Yes I know : there’s probably worse than him coming next but I doubt there is anybody more frightening to an opposition than him coming.

This is important yet I don’t think many in the US have understood it, hence the weak responses given by the democrats, and the republicans not caring much for the troubled town hall meetings (apart for their personal security)

Be aware that you will not get elections for the midterms, Trump did mention there will be no more presidential elections during his campaign trail but I think we are witnessing the last few federal votes (Fla 6th district the coming week). Then it will be set in stone.

And as his administration said: courts, including the supreme court is all talk and don’t have real power over them.

Dunno, we didn’t get info from his personal secretary in Washington D. C.

Or morally better than breaking TOS, use a FOOS alternative like Jellyfin.

Pcloud will probably go this way.
