He’ll, even an Intel based thin client would probably be enough. You can get them on eBay for like 30 bucks, which is about as much as a pi costs. You’ll probably have to replace the ssd though. That’ll set you back an additional 30 bucks.

There is BigBlueButton. It’s more focused in educational usecases (online classes and the like) but it works just fine for everything else. You need to host it yourself, but there are hosted instances out there. I for example use senfcall.

But I think we are talking about different things here. What Chanuk was talking about (I think) is a ms-teams or slack alternative, not a zoom or oracle WebEx alternative. Basically Discord but for business. Sidenote: there is a open source Discord clone called revolt

Then you should sign it anyway. Worst case your new signature will get invalidated after the fact, but your old one should (AFAIK) still get counted

Happy to help

It’s the German version of me_irl. Stands for “Ich _ im echten Leben” and is a direct translation of the English

I think you missunderstand how this works. Not every country has to reach 1 million. Together all countries need to reach the goal. In addition to that 7 countries also need to pass a threshold. This threshold is scaled to the population of the country in question. So in Ireland fewer people need to sign than in Germany. But this is a separate requirement from the 1 million goal

1. This is about citizenship not about residence. So if you have European citizenship (even dual citizenship) you can sign from outside the EU without a VPN necessary
2. All signatures are checked by the EU after the fact. So if you aren’t eligible then signing won’t help. Your signature is going to get invalidated

To be fair to you: “killing games” and “killer games” do look and sound extremely similar. And “killer games” was the term people who wanted to ban violent games in the 90s and 2000s used.

You might not be able to sign this one, but depending on where in the world you live you might still be able to help. The official website has guides for a lot of countries. And if you live somewhere where you truly can’t help (cough USA cough), then thank you never the less

Plasma is the desktop environment developed by KDE. It’s for example desktop environment used by SteamOS 3.

As to how you learn this stuff: looking things up on the search engine of your choice helps. Not trying to be rude here, but you could have found all of that out yourself by searching for “plasma Linux”: https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=plasma linux

Also the arch wiki. There you can find all the info you could ever ask for.

" just use Linux" is a great piece of advice for most people because most people don’t care about the OS they use. They just use it. And they shouldn’t need to take a course to do so. Of course you are missing some things with this.

If you want more than you will need to go out and actively look for it

Also the Dutch angle in cinema, named after the expressionist German film of the early 20th cinema (think Nosferatu)

I’m not sure which of the videos of Ross (the initiator of the initiative) you have seen, but in the FAQ video linked above he addresses the half baked complaint. An EU citizens initiative is not the equivalent of a ballot initiative in the USA. It’s not actual proposed law, not even a first draft of a law. A citizens initiative only describes a problem and why the EU is the right institution to solve the problem (rather than the individual member states). And it does all of that while meeting a strict word count limit. So it kind of has to be vague to give the European politicians some space to do their job. They are going to consult relevant parties (including representatives of the industry) and then draft the actual legal text.

I therefore find Thors argument of “it starts the wrong discussion” pretty disingenuous because he argues for weakening the initiatives initial position before negotiations with the opposing side have even begun.

His videos are also full of frankly baffling arguments. At one point he argues for example that the initiatives goals would make DDOSing legal.

Since Thors original video a couple of people in the games industry have come forward in support of the initiative. Indie dev and unity tutorial YouTuber codemonkey for example made a video to that effect. But the highest profile supporter from within the industry so far is probably Running With Scissors, the studio behind the Postal games. Also high profile, but not actually a game dev, is Louis Rossman, who also endorsed the effort.

There have been some people, who support Thors line of arguments, but those tend as far as I can tell to be mostly friends and acquaintances of Thor. Generally speaking i have yet to see a European content creator critical of the initiative (not saying there aren’t any, just that they don’t seem high profile enough to come to my attention).

Sorry this one is EU citizen only

here is the one sentence summery: It’s a European citizens initiative aiming to ensure legal access to video games you’ve purchased, even after official support has ended.

We don’t actually need to hit the minimum in all countries. We only need 7 (and a million signatures total) and we are already halfway there. 3 countries have reached the minimum and an additional 3 are past 70%

And a lot of others require a special app for 2fa. I for example still need a app when using the website.

I found that having a second phone (just my old phone) as a dedicated banking device. How often do you need to initiate a bank-transfer while on the go anyway?

I meant dedicated servers in the sense of developers releasing the server binaries for the community to host and operate.

My previous comment was easy to misunderstand in that regard, as the term describes a UX flow more than making a technical distinction
