The US thinks we do.

Linux breaks 5% threshold for the first time again?

Or is this a repost of the previous time?

A whole bunch. But I think the issue with Jolla is that they are using “off the shelf” parts. If they bought European stuff, they’d have to design them and have the production stuff designed and done as well.

Yeah… Thats why its “European.” As in, almost European.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing them. The phone would cost 17390€ if it was made from European parts. Kind of have to do it this way.

Made from non-european parts

I don’t have experience about that. Every time I’ve been invited to a group, I’ve removed myself immediately lol

I’d be depressed if I had to endure the darkness of a Finnish winter

Funnily enough, winter is my favorite time. I love going for winter hikes etc. Its so peaceful and quiet.

TBH in principle I’m ready to give up on the Whatsapp boycott, it’s just so costly socially

I just use good ol’ SMS with the people who don’t have Signal. Though thats like one SMS message per year or so…

I like to think I’m not bitter and miserable but I suspect you’re not either - just introverted or on the spectrum

Perhaps I’m not bitter. I don’t know what I am. Tired, frustrated to the point of being done with everything and everyone. I’m not sure what to call it, depression is a major part of it. Introverted, for sure. I’m a introvert even in Finnish standards lol.

The only way to “win” here is by playing the ethics card. But alas that argument is just not well understood by most people.

That’s how I decided to drop Whatsapp. i explained to the people I felt I owed a explanation, that I’m not comfortable with the privacy issues and being a play button for big American corporations. They understood it, didn’t care. Meh. Fuck them, I guess lol.

I look at it a bit differently. If I’m not important enough to my friends and family for them to install a easy to set up app, then I guess I never was that important to them.

I left facebook in 2011, lost contact with most of my school friends, army buddies etc. I left Whatsapp around 2016, lost contact with most of what was left. In my signal there’s 6 chats open. Two of them are my sisters, whom I rarely talk to. One of them is my weed dealer. The rest are friends, I guess, but even those chats haven’t been active since January 6th (I just checked) lol.

But I know I’m a bit different, I’m a bitter, miserable and grumpy man who doesn’t mind being alone. I know most of the people are not like that and would go mad without contact with other people. For me its more healthy to be away from these parasite apps and services than it is to keep up with everyone.

I assume its still chinese owned?
