Jetzt wo es absehbar ist, dass die Regierung zur Reform der Erbschaftssteuer, durch das Verfassungsgericht, gezwungen wird, will Jens Spahn auch eine Reform.

I also wholeheartedly recommend Restic. Hetzner Storage Box or Backblaze B2 are great storage backends and directly supported by Restic.

Borg is great too, though I've never used it because I've discovered Restic first.

Iirc it's possible to include Google Maps traffic data as an overlay map on OsmAnd.

It's packagekit which is slow. I've used Gnome Software on Fedora Atomic and it is quite fast (since a few big optimizations about two years ago) because it only has support for flatpak enabled.

Remexian distributing different strains from different cultivars under the same name matches anecdotes of fluctuating quality of their products.

Niri already had support for X11 through xwayland-satellite, although $DISPLAY and xwayland-satellite had to be started manually.

That said, being enabled by default is great and the other changes are awesome too.

If you can solder I'd say most mice are easily fixable. The most common defect for mice are the switches, which are usually quite simple to desolder, as there aren't any components near them.

E.g. I don't have much experience soldering and it took me under an hour replacing both switches on the G Pro Wireless as well as the battery. I've bought this mouse used about 5 years ago and I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted another 5 years.

Edit: The annoying part is the screws being below the feet, so you have to replace them after opening the mouse. But it's all screwed in.

For downloading through Usenet a VPN is as important as for DDL, i.e. it's not necessary.

Depending on the local laws it's more important to use a VPN and pay anonymously for your indexers. But I don't know of any Usenet busts where customers got charged (e.g. for supporting a criminal organisation), so it's not necessary.

If you upload you must use a trustworthy VPN provider and you must pay through an anonymous payment method like Monero.

They do not even care about the standard arguments of "liberalism" like allowing people to do what they want.

I disagree. The FDP did support the legalization of Cannabis. They are also against the precautionary retention of IP addresses ("Vorratsdatenspeicherung") [1]. Additionally, they are firmly against chat control, which has been a continuously hot topic for many years at this point [2].

I personally disagree on almost any other topic with the FDP, for the reasons you've pointed out. But when it comes to surveillance and personal freedom they are indeed liberal.

Idk whether there's delay, but this also applies to minor version changes of Nvidia drivers. They must match exactly.

The benchmarks go against the narrative that Windows and Linux are pretty much equal in performance. I've read regularly that Linux is "often" faster than Windows for gaming, especially from more recent Linux users.

5 years ago, 15% performance difference were the expected performance loss through DXVK and wine/proton, so these benchmarks would've been the expected result.

Being able to skip tracks by holding (?) the volume button was great as my earphones didn't have skip/volume buttons. Same goes for turning the flashlight on/off with the power button It was awesome.
