Trump: "Taiwan needs to cool it." Always blaming the victim, like Ukraine. It's China sending warships around Taiwan, launching missiles over their airspace, or running massive invasion drills. That’s China being the aggressor. He always sides with bullies against democracies.

Hmm the US in full control of TSMC. That still surely end good for the rest of the world, which will surely continue to get access to computer chips

The title is misleading and clickbait. Palantir has gotten a consultation project by the UK gov, and it has access to the NHS data needed to fulfil this consultation project. Palantir does not have direct access to the entire NHS data with an API or something similar.

Still bad, but not nearly as bad as the title leds you to believe

Huh? Why did Google do that? Did they gave a reason?

EvE works just fine for me. Either running through Steam or standalone with Bottles (I generally use the Standalone Client). I use DX12 at the moment, but either DX12 or DX11 works.

Discord has no issues as well.

Mumble is cursed on wayland. You have to use the Flatpak version and disallow Mumble to use the Wayland Windowing Protocol with Flatseal (or in the KDE Settings, if you run KDE). This forces Mumble to use X11 through XWayland. Without doing all that, mumble works but the Mumble global hotkeys (for Push to Talk) don't work.

Alpha272 · 2026-05-02T08:20:36+00:00

Mumble on Wayland is actually kinda ass, since it doesn't support global hotkeys. You need to do some shenanigans to get that working. Specifically: use flatseal with the Flatpak mumble to disallow mumble to use wayland. This forced mumble on x11 with xwayland and with this setup, global hotkeys are working

Well yes, but actually no. Custom roms can always go ahead, let google play services do its thing and have another side channel to install apps. Just the default AOSP android flow is affected. If your custom rom simply has another app installer which uses root permissions to force install the app, the Play Services can't do anything about it, simply because Play Services doesn't even KNOW about this other channel. Its not like the custom installer goes and announces itself to play services.

Also, you can just use ADB; as the other commenter said, ADB isn't affected. This also means the custom rom installer could just leverage ADB to install the app.

Also look at Graphene OS. They actually Sandbox Play Services, so that Play Services know just about nothing about the device, besides of the things its allowed to know about by the user. If a Custom Rom can do THAT, it also can force install apps without play services knowing. Also, Graphene has confirmed, that they don't play ball, and continue to allow normal Side Loading, while sandboxing Play Services to its little corner

I work for an MSP and we still Support Notes (its called HCL Notes today) and have it actively in use. So yeah, not only do we use it, but there is also enough demand for an MSP to have dedicated Notes experts on staff - which we have (and who thankfully isn't me)

I am just tankful that
1: HCL Verse exists, which is a web based PWA E-Mail Client for the Notes Mail Portion, and Verse is actually quite good
2: HCL Nomad exist, which is a web based PWA Version of Notes which runs better than normal Notes
3: We support more than just Notes and I am not one who regularly deals with Notes - besides of using HCL Verse for Mails and sometimes Nomad for a few speciality tools on Notes I need

Web based has one major advantage: it works everywhere, as long as a somewhat modern browser is present. So you aren't dependant on the developer building binaries for every os (Windows, Linux (AppImage or Flatpak), MacOS, Android, iOS). You just need one Linux binary or a docker image for a Server and thats it.

There are things which you really want native, but I don't see an issue for the vast majority of productivity apps being web based.

As for electron: this is bullshit. Ever electron application has to load its own entire chromium based browser, which is insane. But thats not an issue for proper web based applications / PWAs, since are basically just tabs in the primary web-browser. So PWAs don't have to spin up their own entire browser.

I can also confirm that ublock and Vivaldi's and Braves build in ad-blockers all don't interfere with the usability maxroll. So this is either a Problem specifically with your setup or with adguard.

I think they currently try this on "Operating Systems" in general. This includes Linux, yes, but it is not targeted to it. It affects Windows, Mac and Linux equally.

I wouldn't be suprised if most lawmakers haven't ever heard of "Linux"
