Yeah, I dont think so. I have not heard an argument here, just a statement. The “limits” arent real, never have been. This stuff needs to be outlawed as a whole so that “criminal” behavior can be again investigated in a way that is understandable and controllable. We dont need all powerful cops that have the best tools on their hands just to catch someone selling illegal stuff. It has also been proven time and again that the whole terrorism shtick has never been as much of a threat as it was made out to be.

The much more interesting thing this points at is the fact that conversations between people should be privileged and not usable in criminal investigations as long as not one party willfully submits it as evidence.

The mere idea of eavesdropping on people and/or using their data for other purposes than it was intended to is horrendous.

Meaning: if I call a friend or even send them a postcard and ask them for 100 kilos of cocaine, this should not be admissible in court. I dont care if organized crime is a problem. Go pose as a buyer and start rolling up the net from the bottom. Do the footwork.

Otherwise its not europol but more like eustasi. (Reference to the stasi, the former east-german „state security“ which was infamous for picking you up ar night if you as much as said you didnt love the government)

We will have to come to grips with the fact that europol (and for the germans reading this, the german state police) are still the fascism enablers they always have been.

I agree with your second sentence. Thats what we need to change.

This needs to become illegal and bear a bankruptcy inducing fine if repeatedly done.

We need to get rid of these monopolists

…we haven‘t been sued by our customers for bad code!

Yes thats due to testing.

Can you prove that?

…

Awesome! Thanks for elaborating. That was what I missed to remember it.

if you want to use it to judge someones knowledge and ability to use documentation, I‘d ask if they have installed arch, by hand, at least once. Calling using automation cheating is assuming they mean „by hand“ which probably isnt fair.

Thats a very cool perspective. I hadnt considered this. Everyone seems to be hating on linux‘s fracturization but it does remind me of evolution now that you mention it.

That yours @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ? :D

Feel free to show a usecase where that is the case. the actual cost and opportunity cost of a vendor lock in is quite severe.

Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.

Then you‘re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.

LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

20 yrs of experience rarely makes things worse I guess.

NC seems to either work completely or it doesnt, barely an inbetween there.

Its fine for me for two years and going. But I only have two users and maybe 200 GB of data. My 16 gigs of ram barely goes above 20%, my 4 thread oldschool xeon usually stays at <5% usage.

Doing sysadmin stuff for 20 yrs probably helps though.

I think the purists need to accept that users are valid too. :) good that some distros seem to understand that.

Yeah no. Thats not the case for everyone. Debian itself also is a little more tricky than say pop!os.

Fair enough. Although technically the system works without that. Just not for long maybe?

Have you tried installing literally any debian based system recently? Works without a single command.

Exactly. I hope pop moves away from ubuntu at some point though.
