Do you mean buying computers worth thousands of dollars doesn't make you a computer expert? I'm shocked. Shocked!

I mean... how insecure can an OS be when they have the need to put OS in the name?

Linux Mint doesn't need those gimmicks.

No. Those portuguese banks failed in different years because of internal corruption. It had nothing to do to the failed investment assets that caused the subprime crisis. The Icelandic banks failed because they invested heavily in toxic assets.

From what I've read in other news, the digital euro wallet will have a hard limit on the amount you can store in it, something like 1000 euros for example. Also, it needs to be linked to a physical euro bank account. Those features combined prevent fraud and speculation. It's mostly to be used as an online payment method to circumvent the Visa/Mastercard american payment duopoly.

I used mailbox.org for some time. They gradually removed features from their "basic" 1 euro plan until it was the same as posteo. So I moved to posteo.

I first saw him on Maverick in 1994. Last time was the Marvel TV show Echo. He was always great to see and 73 is still too young, RIP.

I've managed to screw up every self-hosted service whenever I've made an update, edit a config file or just by looking at it. But my Prosody XMPP server? It's rock solid. That thing never fails, for years and years.

I don't remember my teachers allowing students to take TVs to the classroom when I was a kid. And classes could also be boring back then.

That's like asking for a FLOSS Disney+ alternative.
