Trump’s previous visit to London/UK was improved by plenty harsh but legal protest, as will this one.

Whoever did this specific one probably didn’t have a permit, and wouldn’t have gotten one either because of the king (of the UK!).

Anyhow “arrested on suspicion” in the UK does not evoke the same horror scenarios as it does in the USA. Not saying British law & enforcement are beyond reproach though.

I think the arrest is more about offending the king.

edit: oh, you used plural. My bad.

Or phone sanitisers.

“uninspired looks” … “the most impressive thing about the V3515 is its (…) price tag”

*shudder*

There were many Amilos btw. and it stands to reason that some were better but the most common ones were all shitty.

I distinctly remember one that had no Linux driver for its wifi card but it would not accept another one. Vendor lock-in or whatchamacallit.

My first - 1999 iirc - was a Siemens. And yes they really felt like cheap Nokia knockoffs.

There also used to be one for the years in between: Amilo. As an early Linux adopter it still makes me shudder.

Damn, this hits way too close to reality.

[slaps forehead] of course!

It implies that it’s the GNU stuff I care about (just as much as the kernel). But e.g. systemd is not GNU. And let me tell you, it is really cool to have systemd on your phone, write your own services.

I wouldn’t want to call it systemd/Linux either though. Or GPL/Linux.

Sounds like plain old stupidity to me. Unwillingness to learn. Often stronger in “main character syndrome” people than in others. I guess Darwinism will sort it out.

OTOH I surely am the main character of my own life. I guess there’s different ways of interpreting that phrase. I don’t think I have so-called main character syndrome.

You mean Fascism?

But what are they smoking?

“Linux” is usually used as a term for the operating system based on the kernel. Look up “pars pro toto”.

Mr Stallman tried to remedy that by telling us all to call it GNU/Linux. He’s not wrong (even the license, the GPL, is GNU) but it still isn’t the whole picture. Also I’m sure some Rust fans will tell you that a revolution is underway replacing venerable GNU tools with new, alround Just Better™ versions. Anyhow, I have given up on calling it GNU/Linux and now use terms like “true Linux OS”.

So, a Linux phone is one that is internally a Linux operating system. The difference (to Android) is worldview-shattering. Just like with your other Linux machines, you are in control and not $CORPO.

I’m not even sure anymore what this analogy is about but 🤣

👍

Please do. I’m pretty sure netcup.eu is cheaper anyhow.

The protocol is called CalDAV (and CardDAV for contacts).

Plenty applications exist that can do it on both sides - it’s not like you need a specific client app that fits your specific server app.

FWIW, I find NextCloud too bloated and prefer Radicale for the above mentioned.

And yes, it runs in Docker.

This is about a song?
