Btw, feel free to label me however you want (others did already), which shows that they have no arguments and resort to pidgeonholeing and name calling.

This will undoubtedly create tensions and will lead to fewer donations, thus having a negative impact on KDE.

To transfer patient data between doctors and (state) insurance companies, doctor‘s offices need to have a hardware VPN device. The system was implemented by the company „gematic“. A small number of companies produce these devices.

The certificates on these devices expire after five years. Now, instead of simply updating the certificates, the companies want the state and the doctors to buy new devices which costs around 400 million.

The CCC firstly explained that this is bullshit and a total waste of money and secondly showed that it is easy to update the devices. They could do it themselves but only need the private key from gematic.

I checked the docs but they mention streaming DB, Timely and Differential Dataflow which I don't know either.

Maybe we should first do a correlation and causality analysis and see what it yields instead of closing our eyes because of PC?

Not using Firefox (or even Chromium) is inexcusable. The higher integration of the custom browser (whose name I can't remember) does not even come close to outweighing the omission of Firefox with all of its mature features and add-ons. The browser is arguably the most important piece of software in a desktop PC.

Yes, I know I can install it. But then it is not integrated nicely and then why use Elementary OS at all?

In the end for me the question is: How can I trust you to not leak my private posts? Why should I not continue using Signal groups? I realize that I’m probably not your main target group.
