I wasn’t referring to white people immigrating.
Here is an article today from Deutsche Welle covering this issue: https://www.dw.com/en/do-immigrants-have-to-learn-german-in-germany/a-70467984

The EU isn’t the US.
Most countries in Europe have this idea of integration where the foreigner learns and adopts the language and culture of the country. You’ll see lots of discussions of “failed” integration of foreigners, especially in Germany.
I think this is still a type of colonialism where they think there culture is better and the foreigner must change, rather than the other way around.
I think the US is a bit better in this regard as there is this idea of a cultural mixing pot and foreigners aren’t expected to “integrate”.

At the moment there is no end-to-end encryption as part of RCS. Google created a proprietary add-on for their app. Apple is working with the standards committee to add end-to-end encryption.
RCS on android has only two supported apps, one by Google and one by Samsung. Google is actively blocking phones with custom Roms from using their RCS app.
Google also provides/hosts the RCS backend software used by most telecoms. They can host their own implementation, and most did at the start. But now a lot switched to Google to provide their RCS service.
You can’t get around Big Tech spyware if you want to use RCS.

Yes I think we this in addition to be able to unlock the boot loader. This allows the community to continue to provide security updates after the company abandoned the product through planned obsolescence.

I’m not for sure I understand the stats. Taking Personal Use stats, adding up the percentages for each OS quickly exceeds 100%.

This should be a right of the consumer that purchased the hardware. Same goes for gaming consoles. You used to be able to officially install Linux on a PlayStation.

The real challenge is how to get politicians that will support these polices when private capital controls policy through lobbying.

The predatory credit cards in the US should be not legal. They are exploiting people who don’t have so called “financial literacy” and encourage wasteful spending.
In Europe the US style credit cards don’t really exist and people just have debit cards. Also there is a social safety net, so people don’t have to rely on keeping money in the bank for when they become unemployed.

The anti-tampering solution sounds like some trusted computing bullshit like on mobile where banking apps will refuse to run if your device has a custom rom or non-locked boot loader. This would be how anti-cheat software could continue to lock out linux.

I have had a similar idea. Basically some third party that is trusted to be the escrow for all the source code and documentation would basically release it once the company stops supporting it.

I think the point of co-operative/collaborative parenting would be for the group to agree on how to raise the children. You collectively raise the children, not each adult implementing their own rules/methods. When you have differing opinions, you would most likely compromise and come to a common ground. The whole point of working together is to operate as a group to reduce the workload and not work in isolation.

You can still do this with physical console games.
Steam also has the family sharing support where you can burrow games from people.

I (originally from the US) moved to Germany with a Swiss girlfriend, so we visit Switzerland frequently and know the cultural/politics.
I find Germany to have much better social policies than Switzerland, such as better worker rights/conditions, public health insurance. The Swiss people voted against having minimum 5 weeks vacation and also just rejected caps on the private insurance minimum costs. The politics are much more conservative/individualistic compared to Germany. On a positive side, Switzerland probably has the best public transport system in Europe.

They are openly racist. This was an ad of theirs depicting foreigners as black sheep and kicking them out of Switzerland.

Wow, Village One sounds amazing. I will be following the newsletter for open positions.
I work in the software industry and would love to move to a worked owned company/co-op. Does anyone know good resources for finding co-ops in Germany and/or Europe?

The fact that it is a open linux device and I can launch in to KDE is the reason I got it. If it was some proprietary OS like other games consoles or Windows, I wouldn’t have bought it. The Steam Deck is such a breath of fresh air compared to how hostile other consumer electronics have become.

Apple is the one holding back the user experience on their operating systems, not third party developers.
I have been using Scrubs V2 for a while, but lately it hasn’t been finding many links. What are people using for free scrapper addons? Edit: Seems like Diggz Free99 is a Scrubs fork that is currently being updated.
