I don’t know the details but I woukd recommend using a service in the EU, that removes any double tariffs. I would think that you only pay VAT in that country. The ship forward service isn’t selling you the product, it is merely shipping you the product you already own. At least that’s how I understood it.

Pretty happy with mine so far and I am also new to Sailfish.

I enjoy having finally a terminal on my phone but also the very unique UI. More than I expected, actually.

Then look somewhere else.

There has been meaningful progress with many of the core apps. The camera app has been fully open sourced and the weather app too and if I am not mistaken also Notes and Gallery. Most of the system has been open source anyway. It is primarily the UI that isn’t and there has been no sign of that changing in the near future.

You can use a ship forward service, unlike for example Framework, Jolla does not appear to bother about that.

If you are in the US, there has been a first report about usability with an American carrier on forum.sailfishos.org

Slow entrance checks aside, the event went very smooth actually. After entrance I immediately got phone plus ordered accessories. I was not entireky sure they would make it in time with production but they did. And I am quite happy with the unit I got.

Self inflicted braindrain.

How is that possible? Is that a fake post, never posted to r/linuxsucks101 or has the mod there not read to paint 6 either?

Not even the Nazis were crazy enough to demand “forced sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry”. The Nazis!

Nah. Arch is not noob friendly per se but with CachyOS installing and getting most of what you need to run is very easy. Experience with Steam and Proton is painless. Things can get harder when you are starting to dig deeper.

You get banned for not posting hate posts there. Pretty fascinating hate echo chamber.

I am not happy about this ruling but I also really like disinformation. The court did not rule that “Private Jets Now Count As ‘Green’ Investments”

Good news, the West is moving towards that as well. The US is already pretty much there, Putin’s allies on the populist right (but also some on the populist left) aim for the same.

In some unmentioned corners of lemmy, they’d tell you without a hint of irony, that this is Western Propaganda and Russians are enjoying much more freedom than people in lets say Germany, where oppression has reached unheard of levels. …

or something like that.

Because they can. It really is just a cartell. Especially institutions pay a fortune for bundled access.

Welcome to the world of scientific publishing, long before AI. Except authors even have to pay for creating “content”, and reviewers are expected to work for free. Yet article access is sold at astronomical prices.

Kallas? I did not see that coming. Time to reevaluate.

Turns out, if you don’t sacrifice cities on the car altar and plan for quality of life instead, children can in fact play on the streets. The Netherlands show it.

What the SVP wanted to get adpoted would force the end of freedom of movement with the EU if population in Switzerland only mildly increases (even if that were to happen purely due to domestic population growth btw). In that case there are guillotine clauses that would automatically kill major treaties with the EU, including the one on being in the Single Market. This is pretty much automatic, as Switzerland would violate the conditions based on which it is part of the Single Market and one-sidedly significantly change the deal. Freedom of Movement is, after all, a majory pillar of the Single Market itself.

Switzerland is in the EU’s Single Market and has other important agreements in place with the EU. A key reason for that referendum was the SVP’s ambition to force Switzerland out of the Single market. They can’t get the Swiss to agree to that so they try it in hidden ways, this time with playing the anti-foreigner card, while not mentioning that this is designed in reality to force Switzerland out of the Single Market. So yes, this referndum had a lot to do with the EU. The majority of Swiss voters was not fooled though, again. But also this time, the SVP will not take no for an answer and will try again, with a different construct.

The SVP sold it as anti-foreigner thing but it was really about forcing Switzerland out of the Single Market, a Swiss eqivalent for Brexit. Again. The SVP doesn’t take no for an answer.
