Bogasse

Of course you can live with cash and relying on relatives when you really can find another solution. But this kind of intimidation on a judge is absolutely fucked up. (Right now it seems it is just a Monday in the USA, but in Europe we are not there yet)

I read an article yesterday that explains that it's still a bit hard :

• he can't use his bank account in most foreign countries
• he can't use most online marketplaces (non american ones may use american databases), plus they probably make you checkout through Visa
• he says he can't have any credit card, this surprises me because I thought France had its own network "CB", but I guess one card must interface with several systems (Visa, Mastercard, CB usually?)

(French and paywalled, sorry) https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/11/19/nicolas-guillou-juge-francais-de-la-cpi-sanctionne-par-les-etats-unis-face-aux-attaques-les-magistrats-de-la-cour-tiendront_6654016_3210.html?search-type=classic&ise_click_rank=6

Oh thanks, that was indeed not clear to me 👍🏼

About France ...

According to fightchatcontrol.eu a majority of our MEPs have expressed against the law : from far right to far left. ALL of the others are left as "unknown".

I think it's fair to assume that France is against this law but that our current political mess prevents an official or coordinated response.

I think this is a very important point : I see a lot of hate against our MEPs because fightchatcontrol.eu does not reflect their actual position on this issue.

I'd advise to at least switch France to "undecided" and add a bit of context 🤷

There is zero malware or spyware on the F-Droid store

That is a bold claim considering that :

1. Proving that something does not exist is very hard
2. F-droid allows you to rely on third party repositories (and makes it easy)

Although Google have to be mad lads if they actually think people are not responsible of what they install after having to enable developer options, accepting 2 popups and eventually adding a custom repository to F-droid.

To what others say (not many people use custom ROMs) I'll add that using f-droid on a Googled ROM is often the first foot into the ecosystem, that might confort people into commiting to a custom ROM.

If f-droid doesn't expect to survive I think the whole stack /e/OS relies on might eventually collapse (microg, lineage, ...).

To be fair, I don't think Xitter is really dead? It certainly took a hit though 🤷

Linux phones are moving fast but it feels like Android is moving faster on the other direction 😥

(Yes I know Android is built over Linux, I mean more traditional and open distros like postmarketos)

Sourced facts nonetheless

I see three ways of switching windows on windows :

1. Clicking on the taskbar, but its quite slow because it relies entirely on mouse control
2. Using alt+tab, this is super efficient when you have at most 4 windows open, then you often have to scroll through the whole list and concentrate to not miss your window
3. Using the task view : this should be the modern way, the trackpads shortcut is super intuitive, it works well with many windows and is well integrated with virtual desktops. But it seems completely unfinished : it's super laggy, very buggy (animations often freeze leaving some windows impossible to select) the taskbar blinks for no reason 🤷

But again, I think I've been spoiled by Linux. Many desktop environments integrates virtual screen so well that you can easily switch between apps in less than 200ms, which is a big deal : if you look at two apps it's almost more convenient than moving your sight from one monitor to another (for example copying some data, or monitoring some progress)

"Multi modal"

Will it finally be possible to be productive with more that 3 windows open?
