It’s impressive how this initiative has gathered 360k votes in no time yet completely stagnated ever since. I don’t think it means that the initiative is done, actually I am quite optimistic it can pass, but these things go in waves. I think every time there is a new coverage on the initiative it launches it higher, we just need some folks who have some local presence in the EU to get their audience to act. Perhaps some famous video game streamers? Has that been done already?

Has anyone been following the development of 3.6? What are some highlighted features or bugs being addressed?

I think the only thing to keep in mind is that Nvidias proprietary drivers work better for Linux whereas for AMD it is the open-source ones.

I have an Nvidia card and the prop. drivers have worked flawlessly for me for years.

I know the open source drivers are closing the gap for Nvidia, and they also seem to be playing ball on that front. But for AMD the open source drivers are definitely the way to go from what I understand.

It seems the post does not contain the sentence “before the end of the year […] which gets framework laptops to all of the EU”. What a shame, I was really getting excited about that fact!

it seems AT&T may be interested in looking for alternatives to VMware?

This was already quite a significant challenge compared to socketed RAM, but now with Lunar Lake I guess this is simply impossible? The RAM chips are colocated with the CPU…

Same boat, fedora + kde, solid experience all around. Love Fedora and really enjoying KDE, though im facing some minor gripe on my laptop with the power management which always seems to kick in max performance when plugged in despite all possible tweaks I have tried (tlp, powertop and the native power management settings).

I think unless they have demonstrated bad faith in the past, we should still give them the benefit of the doubt that this was an honest mistake though it raises some other concerns as to what the internal process is for green lighting this when they had worked with Jeff in the past?

You only mention your laptop is running out of space so you need to get a new computer? does your laptop have a soldered SSD? If that’s not the case, I think the reflex should first be to see what storage you can get your laptop so that you can keep using it rather than discarding it :(

im not sure this applies to Switzerland but Framework now allows freight forwarding within the EU it seems (it also seems recent as most older discussion says it was prohibited).

Also, I think a delivery to Switzerland is not too far out as they have finalized a keyboard layout a while ago and this is a necessary step before delivery.

(Notice how there is Sweden in that list which is now available for a laptop to order too officially).

I’m hoping these countries get expanded to soon!

Have used my BT headset for almost a year and never had an issue. What are you referring to?

i think they mean that signal on desktop does not encrypt their content at rest, which is acknowledged and not an issue they are intending on addressing.

But it seems to have recently changed? I’m learning thus as I wanted to find a source.

I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)

And the Netherlands are 6th! But the hardest part will be reaching that Million threshold… We still have a lot of time, but the pace has certainly slowed down the last few weeks compared to the skyrocketing in the early days. I think we will need to have more awareness spread around the campaign, perhaps try to reach mainstream media in some ways…

infomaniak is the largest swiss cloud provider, they have multiple services which are domain related (purchase and management), cloud computing and more. They have a good reputation. They also have a swiss cloud certificated meaning they are able to host data in Switzerland and manage it from Switzerland. If you trust Switzerland for privacy, I think by extension you can trust them.

We had captchas to solve that a while ago. Turns out, some people are willing to be paid a miserable salary to solve the captchas for bots. How would this be different? The fact of being a human becomes a monetizable service which can just be rented out for automated systems. No “personhood” check can prevent this.

Looks kind of average to me. Also, I wonder if it would not have made sense to build it on Lunar lake if it was to be announced/released this late?

I question why anyone would have a monopole or exclusive right to a topic of conversation :)

But I actually disagree due to another fundamental point: USA politics are in fact involving and impacting the rest of the world. The USA leads NATO and has previously threatened to drop it, as well as the WHO, they get involved (sometimes violently) in foreign affairs (afghanistan). They are a huge economic market to which many foreign companies try to sell or get funding. They are the biggest stock exchange (still today I guess).

The influence of the USA exceeds its borders since quite a while now. It is only normal for people to feel involved, despite not being from the USA. Same with Russia, same with China.

The age of DRM means that they can now “unlaunch” the game and force you into a reimbursement while giving up the game. Why? What if someone liked it and wanted to keep playing? is this an online only game? This is just sad.

edit: this is a good time to remind people, if you live in the EU, please support the “Stop Killing Games” initiative, it has just past a third of the required signatures, and has 10 months to go still:
