So if you want to know what EU politicians are up to, you can ask the Chinese, Russians and Americans. They should have a comprehensive list of all the skeletons these politicians are hiding in their closets.
Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s…. Oh wait. Some people do. I guess I should put something worth reading in here then. Well here’s a test. How much text can you put in here? Who knows? We’ll find out together.
I could write just about anything here, and it wouldn’t really matter. I could go on an on about nothing in particular, and there would still be space left unused. If you’re like really verbose, you could write about any pointless topic without ever reaching a conclusion, and you wouldn’t even hit the character limit. Like, how long could this text be before you hit the wall? Surely, there’s a limit? You can’t just dump a chapter of lorem ipsum in here, now can you?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus mollis urna sit amet augue mollis interdum. Praesent sed massa eu quam vestibulum elementum. In pharetra sodales
Wow, that’s a lot of text. Previously, you couldn’t have this much, but now they’ve changed the settings, which is pretty neat.

2·4 days agoYeah, Android has been getting worse. I still remember when I could still install apps on an SD card. Suddenly, the next version of Android just removed that feature, and I was stuck with the pitiful 16 GB of onboard storage even though I had a 32 GB card at the time.
Years ago, I switched to an iPhone. It’s awful, but the alternatives were even worse.
Before that, I experimented with everything: full de-Google setups, vanilla Android approaches, and compromises like LineageOS with Gapps. None of them were good enough for me. The middle ground (LineageOS + Gapps) served me for years, but eventually, essential apps started requiring vanilla Android, which I refuse to use due to privacy concerns.
At this point, I still prioritize functionality and reliability, so stock Android and iOS are the only realistic options. I’m not a journalist in a dictatorship, so my data leaking isn’t a life-or-death issue, but Google’s data-exploitative business model makes Android the worse of the two evils. Both platforms have major flaws, but blatant privacy violations are a dealbreaker for me.
In an ideal world, LineageOS or GrapheneOS would work seamlessly with all apps, but that’s no longer the case. The perfect OS is out of my reach.
If my needs were still limited to calls, SMS, and email—like in the 2000s—there’d be plenty of great FOSS options. But the 2020s demand more, and the FOSS world hasn’t kept up.
I’m seriously considering using my laptop for 99% of my computing needs in the future.
Really interested hearing why.
My favorite version is: “I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”
I really like the idea of having my own server, where I could have a bunch of cool stuff like email, VPN, Nextcloud, and so much more. The primary reason why I don’t have a server like that, is because I can’t trust myself to follow the best practices. For a while now, I’ve been thinking that I should hire a proper professional to take care of all that.
