Or they could use a distro that’s already been created by a European vendor, maybe even create a competitive tender. There’s no point in creating a new distro, add a new repository if you must.

Sure, there’d be some arbitrage, but pretty much every country that has a functional government will invest in domestic capacity for strategic reasons. You won’t have countries that have none at all and have to import everything.

There’s (admittedly comparatively expensive) alternative processes, and even if you stick to the old process and just stop using coal for electricity generation you’d cut coal use by 75%.

Not to mention, the carbon that stays in the steel doesn’t actually go into the atmosphere, so there’s less CO2 emissions for that specific use if you can substitute the fuel used for heating.

There’s alternative processes, and if you avoid burning oil and coal for fuel you can basically do all that with the amount of oil that’s in easy reach instead of using tar sands or drilling into even more difficult to reach places.

Yeah, there’s no reason to be transporting hydrogen long distances. You can make it anywhere that has water and electricity. And if you’ve transitioned to a hydrogen based economy (which is a big if), ships wouldn’t run on oil any more anyway, so there’s no problem there.

Or you could just not lock them up, allow them a temporary stay until their case is heard, etc. It’s a lot cheaper to do it this way too.

In fact, you could allow people to make their asylum claim in the country of origin or a third country so they don’t have to make this dangerous trip to the border while funding organised crime on the way.

K-9 is probably an Android only client? They’d have to either find an open source iOS app to build on, or build a new one from scratch.

Thunderbird is finally out of beta so you can get it through the play store or F-Droid. K-9 itself was also updated so it’s now basically a K-9 branded version of Thunderbird.

Isn’t this part of the auto configuration stuff? Basically there’s a standard where you can add some DNS records to your domain and/or a standard file on your website so e-mail clients can automatically prepopulate all the email settings so you only need to worry about entering your email and password.

It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.

There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.

Florida hasn’t been a swing state in years, and it’s not like Cuban Americans are ever going to vote Democrat regardless.

They really need to stop raising the prices until they can get this under control.

Maybe there’s a lesson there about not allowing individuals to amass that sort of power.

Of course Trump’s disingenuous, but he makes sure that there’s soundbites out there that can be used to target specific low information voters in order to either make them vote for him or at least stay home. Having Clinton and Obama out there wagging their fingers definitely doesn’t help with that.

I’m pretty sure it’s an issue on F-Droid’s end, as it’s always a few days behind for all my other apps that get released on the play store as well. IIRC they have a release process that involves them compiling the packages that takes a while to run.

The post says they’re working on releasing to F-Droid.

Would be nice to drop the price for lower speeds instead.

Yeah, all of those things are true. As far as dirty tricks go, this one’s pretty tame. Although I would assume that if you are a Muslim in Dearborn, you probably already made up your mind on whether you’ll vote for democrats, third party or just sit it out.

Yeah, I just didn’t really know about it before, I agree that that was always the project.

Yeah, I used to think a two state solution was eventually workable, but now I see this whole project needs to be stopped.
