I just noticed this is the technology community and not the BuyEuropean community. So my comment doesn't make sense.

Why consider these guys when Tuxedo and Slimbook exist??

I mean, I understand your sentiment, but if we SRE gonna limit ourselves to things tjat aren't manufactured in China then we will, quite literally, be living on the streets.

If we can increase our consumption of brands that are even 20-30% European, that already has a huge impact on our economy.

Oh great, thanks for that! I've been agonising over the fact of having a kindle laying around my table, but now I can feel better by screwing over Amazon.

Question, if I jailbreak, what happens to the Amazon books I already bought? Will they still be there? Because sadly some books can only be found on amazon because they are too niche and I can't afford to lose them.

Nice revisionism mate.

It compares similar products for nutritional value, not the overall "healthiness" of all products compared with each other.

Yes, but nobody knows that, they don't teach it in school, and people just ignore it anyway because it seems unreliable.

I agree with you, and I'm not arguing to trust them blindly. What I am against is accusing them without evidence, which is what is happening here.

I am arguing for Trust, but Verify. China is useful right now as we slowly veer away from US services.

Linux Mint and Zorin (not in the image sadly) are developed in Ireland!

I'm sorry, where were these people captured? In China? No? They were captured in Ukraine

Do you know how many European citizens are currently fighting in Ukraine? I suppose in your mind we are already at war with Russia, Article 5 has been triggered and all. Right?

And these fighters call those claims into question. Do you need a fucking puppet show?!

Yes, I do. Because these two events don't connect, unless you just want to hate on China.

No comment on that "apologist" retort. I know some of you guys like to pretend that Chinese people are part of some hivemind and have no autonomy from their government whatsoever, but that's just straight up racism from your part. There really is no other word for it.

Disable DMs? (lemm.ee)

Is there a way to disable DMs? I keep being spammed by users from an instance called sh.itjust.works promoting some weird out-of-platform personal profiles.

They usually send this stuff and then immediately seem to get banned, but I still see their stuff since images are displayed by default. Seems like a big oversight to allow this.

Is there a way to block receiving DMs? Or at least have some sort of Accept/Decline dm feature like on Reddit?

Pretty please. I got used to using it on the other platform that shall not be named, and now I can't live without it.

It's free, helps low vision readers and can be downloaded directly from the Braile Institute.
