    For me last phone I thought: “I’ve never dropped a phone so the glass or screen protector broke, and I don’t care about scratches. Why bother? It’s much nicer and thinner without.”

    Guess what, I dropped it on some gravel week #2 of having it. It still lived a long life, but with a very ugly crack in the bottom right corner. Lesson learned.

    Plastic screen protectors suck though, you’re right. Wouldn’t get one that’s not glass.

    This OS isn’t made by the EU, but it’s goal is to become sponsored by them:

    Is EU OS a project of the European Union?

    Right now, EU OS is not a project of the European Union. Instead, EU OS is a community-led Proof-of-Concept. This means it is lead by a community of volunteers and enthusisasts.

    The project goal is to become a project of the European Commission in the future and use https://code.europa.eu/. For this EU OS is in touch with the public administration on member state and EU level. So far, EU OS relies on https://gitlab.com/eu-os.

    Personally I don’t see why EU wouldn’t just go with Suse. It has the corporate support that I guess these government institutions crave, it’s a good system as far as I know and it’s home-grown. Ubuntu is another option, Canonical is a British company (not EU anymore but it is European).



  • My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

    That said I’ve had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.
