And yet the world (or linux at least) would be worse without it

Doesn’t matter, they’re clearly working for Linux now (against Windows’ used-to-be pseudo-monopoly)

I’m not using it since I’m not gaming, but I absolutely love how much they’re doing for Linux. With Proton they broke windows’ pseudo-monopoly on gaming and are now working on making Linux gaming mainstream with the steam deck.

The software is open source. Everyone owns it, and you can’t buy something that’s owned by everyone

There is no 100% clean energy, but hydro is pretty good

Hydro power can be great for baseload and storage

Ein weiterer Grund um Gott zu danken, dass ich an einer technischen Universität gelandet bin.

Aber Spaß beiseite: Welche Studenten haben keine Nachrichtenadresse ihrer Uni? name@uni.land oder so

Even when ignoring environmental concerns and purely looking at it from a financial perspective: Renewable energy is more profitable already.

Ah yes, join the Chinese platforms, they’re for sure better than the Fediverse.

Last spring Mistral (free tier) was better for my usage (mainly JS programming) than ChatGPT (free tier). No idea which is better now (esp. after openai launched chatgpt 4, but Mistral improved too) but at least Mistral isn’t bad at all.

I don’t think I have to elaborate on Linux > Windows. If that’s really needed ask for it please. Summary: It’s simply better, the times where it was only for nerds are long gone.

Search engine doesn’t matter too much. I usually use DuckDuckGo and it works fine (does what a search engine should do without displaying ads, unlike Google).

Signal over WhatsApp also is pretty obvious, but it’s the hardest one to change because so many people simply don’t want to switch once one thing is running and you want to communicate with those people.

LibreWolf basically is Firefox (which is far better than Chrome in terms of privacy, ad blocking, customisability, …)

The leaders you want in a war aren’t the ones you want in peaceful times and vice versa. But when there is war, it’s important to have one of the leaders who’re good at managing the country in such a situation, and that applies to both Churchill and Zelenskiy.

Yes, they both have many flaws. But that doesn’t mean someone else would be better.
