Manual typewriters. You did not precised the age of the technology in question!

Do you knew that there are an average of 1’800 parts in a typewriter? That it can print in two colors, with different margins, different interlinear space, tabulations and that some even have things like word count? It’s a marvelous and yet understandable piece of technology. Someone technically inclined can understand 100% of the working of a typewriter, nobody can understand 100% of a word processor.

For the, the main source of proto-fascism is nationalism. The form of governement is secondary.

I am a citizen of two countries: a republic and a monarchy. Both are advanced European liberal democracies.

One has a strong far right, refuse to acknowledge its own regional languages because of the threat they pose to the national unity and has a very strong head of state that can decide a lot of things alone, without being responsible before the Parliament.

The other has almost no far right, a very numerous immigrated population, recognizes three national languages but officially communicates in two other languages spoken by its two biggest immigrated communities, has a weak head of state and a strong Parliament.

Which one is the most “proto-fascist”? The first.

Which one is a monarchy? The second.

Which version do you use with which OS? As a GNOME user I don’t need it, but I’m pretty sure Thunderbird has a system tray.

Thunderbird is great. But if you don’t like it only because of Mozilla (the interface is customizable so that’s not an argument) there is a fork which does almost everything like Thunderbird, is slightly better on some points, and slightly worse on some others, called Betterbird. It has in my point of view no interesting point, but it’s not Mozilla.

My favourite comment is similar: the Firefox/Windows copypasta.

But we have the Uewersauer lake!

Jlai.lu is more a francophone than strictly French instance, even if as far as I know most admins are French.

Let’s put [email protected] in lemmy.dbzer0.com 😁

Proton has not gone rogue.

Like all others, as it’s a legal obligation. But they can’t give a lot more, as the mail themselves are encrypted.

Why not simply Debian + LXDE + flathub?

That’s unironically why I like Manjaro 😅

you don’t need to give anyone your phone number

You do not need to give your number anymore to use Signal.

That means I could write from @[email protected] to @[email protected] using Sup? That would be cool indeed. But if I have to create a Sup account, not so much.

Loops and Pixelfed I know. As I had no interest in Instagram and TikTok, I never tried them, but I get their purpose. But what is Sup? Why would I want my messaging app linked to the Fediverse?

Are Lemmy communities easy to browse from Friendica?
