  • YSK: Arte.tv, the European culture channel has free shows, documentaries and concerts.

  • Arte is great (although I think it would help if there is more subtitle languages available, sometimes at all. Can’t make my kids very happy yet with the current available programs.

  • Understandable, especially when there might be a lot of links to the profile around the internet. However, in that particular case it’s still possible to delete all content, contacts / follows, followers, and profile images and descriptions etcetera, make the profile private, and give it some semi-permanent dead existence, or delete if a year later or so.

  • I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too

  • Initially with the aim of finding out which one I prefer, and to better be able to help other Linux starters like my 75yo father when they have questions. Additional benefit: if I damage one of the distro’s into some severe state of unusability (like I did yesterday per accident), I can still use the other distro😀

  • I agree with you that there is currently nothing equivalent to Twitter. Especially in terms of the number of Russian and other foreign government trolls, the glorification of fascist efforts, and the number of inactive accounts.

    Also agree that fediverse currently lacks the massive user base to be the best alternative at this moment.

    Twitter was awesome 10 years ago. Current Bluesky is pretty much the twitter before it became an uncool fascist troll shithole, and it does have quite a user base. Hence, for now it’s the best alternative imho. Presumably not until eternity, but for now it is.

  • Financially, or when their customers require so, or when damaging to their image. At least the latter two are quite influenceable.

  • You could tell him that X isn’t cool anymore. That Bsky (or mastodon) is the new Twitter, but without the 90% trolls and without the advertisements every other 3 posts

  • Like: in my opinion was relatively easy to use, obviously some hurdles, but switching to a user friendly distro like Linux Mint or Zorin OS the amount for hurdles wasn’t significantly bigger than moving from let’s say windows XP to 7, or 7 to 10 or 11. Having said that, main hurdles were:

    1. Problems with graphic card (not compatible at all, for one laptop. Bought it refurbished, returned it for another model, worked fine).
    2. Didn’t get the wine/bottle shit working yet. Should make windows programs working under Linux, but didn’t get it working, although not tried enough probably. (Don’t really need it, just wanted to know how it works).
    3. Basically all other hurdles and problems (including crashing Mint tonight by accidentally deleting some system files), I was able to solve by asking community or (presumably earning lots of downvotes when posting this) one of the better LLM AI chargers to ask for advice.

  • Lots of positive replies until now, roughly 30% (further 20% ‘well internally discuss’, 10% ‘no because trolls are our primary target group’, 40% no reply yet.)

  • I wouldn’t. Not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I want to let them see that specifically X became a disgusting fascist deepfake childporn abyss. Adding fb as well, increases the risk they don’t quit any of them, because it might give them the illusion my message says more about me ‘being anti social media’ rather than about X in particular.

  • Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.

    From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.

    Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.

  • As long as you’re still there, you can still provide a useful contribution by continuously replying the photo and link as attached in first message, to all companies, sports clubs, govt officials that still stay there. They’ll say you’re a hypocrite, but better a good hypocrite than congruent garbage 😉

  • That's true, but Bluesky is also 100 times better than X and probably a more feasible/realistic alternative for all kinds of companies/sports clubs/government agencies/etc. Although I prefer Mastodon in principle, I am quite sceptical about the chance that it will be seen (by the general public) as such a good alternative to X that they will actually consider themselfs being able to leave X.

  • 🇪🇺 It’s not okay that gov agencies use Twitter to support Elon. How individual Europeans can use open data law to make a notable impact from small actions.

  • Me too, dumped Windows for Linux dual boot Linux Mint and Zorin OS and no regrets. Never used Linux before.

  • Thanks for sharing this article. Made me enthusiastic to use CoMaps to do on-the-road edits, but 2 questions:

    1. How to add or change an amenity on the address node? For example I want to add a restaurant on an address where’s currently no shop or restaurant. Or the map shows an electronics shop but now there’s a furniture shop, can I change that in the app? (Updating url or opening hours of existing amenities works fine, btw).
    2. Is it possible for the app to show all OSM based apps at first, when clicking ‘open in another map’ ?
