A water bottle with a sport cap is a sufficient travel bidet.

Even with a bidet that paper sucks. Drying off you ass with it leaves so much paper crumble everywhere that you’ll need the bidet again…

Because it is not always possible… Also, take your time to clean the sink afterwards or you might get in trouble with you SO (I am speaking out of experience).

20 years ago was 2005, not 1975… Cloud services started before that year. AWS started in 2002 and they weren’t the first.

But digital autonomy is not only about cloud services. EU countries were depending on US products with backdoor way before 2005.

Linux was mature at 2005. It is coincidentally even the exact year I started using Linux and also the year I personally first said, that we in the EU have to get independent from US owned operating systems. And I am not a genius.

2005 is funnily enough also the exact year Turkey started its project to get independent from US owned OSs, a project called Pardus. Sadly it pretty much failed, but the EU would have had different resources than Turkey on its own.

The tools are and were there to build the development on. The EU parliament should have started this 20 years ago. They rather took the sweet deals and we got to deal with corrupt software developed by corrupt developers (I don’t mean you, but your employer).

Lol, that you think that this is just laziness. Some people got some very sweet deals. Just have a look at the LiMux project. Microsoft is really good at this; goole and co. won’t be that much worse at it. They know how to influence the right people.

I am sooo xxxx pissed. The EU had all the time in the world and all incentive imaginable to develop an “EU-OS” and an “EU-Office”. Linux and other FOSS software was always there to build upon. And with EU founding it could have been an easy solution, making the world a better place in the process.

But instead so many xxx politicians rather made some nice deals…

Now we reap what the EU parliament did.

But if they were doing Asahi Linux for fun as a hobby, and if it isn’t fun anymore for a variety of reasons, then you really can’t blame them.

I have 0 knowledge about this project, so my statement here is just a general statement.

But if a developer collects donations for promising something, then this is not just “for fun”, but they do have a moral obligation to try doing a good job.

It seems they overfullfilled their obligations (but all I know about it, are the words of the developer). So, as said above, this is a general statement.

edit: lol you guys are funny, but maybe read my comment. I talked about “doing his best” and about “things they promised”. You really think it is okay to say “I will try project A, I need donations” and then go on a holiday with the donated money and do nothing else? Do you thing this attitude will get people to donate anything?
