@lattera As a German moving to the UK, I have learned to appreciate the Henry vacuum cleaners. Super simple and indestructible, they are not the most elegant tools but will keep on working.

@jonmsterling I cannot describe the epiphany I had when I got myself a Google Pixel 8 and installed Graphene OS a few years ago. Suddenly, this felt like my phone again. And the loss of convince was very low. i would never go back.

@Mickymaja ich fahre jetzt einen Chinesen (MG5) und bin sehr glücklich. Keine super-multi-touch display. Kein Motor für den Kofferraumdeckel. Kein Spurassistent. Ich vermisse die Qualitätsverarbeitung meiner alten C Klasse und auch das Navi braucht ab und zu nen Reboot. Aber ne gute Batterie und bringt mich zuverlässig von A nach B - ohne Abgase.

@thomholwerda define "shitty". Systemd? AI? Social Policy? Big Corp?Misogyny? Age Check? Binary Blob? License? There are so many levels of "shit" now that I lost track.

The disclosure timeline of #copyfail looks completely strange. The kernel was patched on April 1st, CVE was created on 22nd and public disclose was on 29th. But most distros seemed to be completely unaware until disclosure day. What happened in April? Was no Linux distro notified?
