touwer··on State of the Windows: What is going on with Windows 11?
Yes, it was a joke. 2000 was indeed good. XP, 7 and 10 also not too bad for their time
touwer··on State of the Windows: What is going on with Windows 11?
That was the best. With sound drivers
touwer··on Refusing to Use Twitter
Why is this flagged?
touwer··on Yes, It's Fascism
The most scaring and amazing thing is not Trump himself, but all the people (suddenly) supporting him and being silent (including too many Democrats) in order to keep their position or for for opportunistic purposes. And destroying democracy along the way. Just like all the secret police agents in Iran or the henchmen of Hitler. CEO's of bigtech. Crypto-libertarians. Too many people are sucking up to wannabe dictators when the moment is there

touwer··on White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying
Bs. I live in Paris. There is no evidence at all of 4 km or your other claims. The total number of executions in France during the Reign of Terror is estimated at around 16,000 to 40,000, with about 2,600 to 3,000 executions in Paris alone. Paris's population at the time was roughly 600,000, so the percentage of Parisians who died by execution was closer to 0.5%, not 30%.
touwer··on Y Combinator No Longer Investing in Canadian Companies
I have a hunch that not a lot of Canadian people will be shedding tears about this news. If it's politically motivated it's of course very sad indeed, for YC and the US
touwer··on Internet voting is insecure and should not be used in public elections
You need a private, secure booth, as you cannot guarantee really free (of mind, body) voting via internet, because of coersion, threats. Women threatened by their men to vote-anti women. Religious coercion. Internet voting will always be anti-democratic.

"As someone who spends a lot of time interacting on X"

So you like brainrot? Asking for a friend

touwer··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
Are you a troll or just uninformed and stupid?
touwer··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
It wasn't of course. But the current regime looks more and more like them. Including all the minions going along with it
touwer··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
Without a good strategy of course...
touwer··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
The US century is already over. It's just that a lot of US citizens don't see that. De-dollarization will happen when one is a traitor to it's allies
touwer··on Radboud University selects Fairphone as standard smartphone for employees
Too much hearsay. Details please
touwer··on Every country should set 16 as the minimum age for social media accounts
I'd go for 80 as the minimum. As if adults are immune to the depressing doomscrolling and skewed algorithms on social media
touwer··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
Fairphone with Graphene
touwer··on The EU's fine against X is not about speech or ‘censorship’
Look at what is written in the previous post. It's stupid and not factual. Indeed, like Russian bots
touwer··on Google Opal
Very large even. Especially considering the explosion of ai-crap in the search results
touwer··on The EU's fine against X is not about speech or ‘censorship’
Based on what information?
touwer··on The EU's fine against X is not about speech or ‘censorship’
It's not perfect, but by all means it's better than the so called free speech of the US-Maga cult
touwer··on The EU's fine against X is not about speech or ‘censorship’
Sure. Don't inform yourself. Live in your own little biased world. It's cozy, isn't it. But not real
touwer··on The EU's fine against X is not about speech or ‘censorship’
And you believe that?
touwer··on The Ultimate Windows Utility (2022)
Isn't the ultimate Windows utility called Linux? Or MacOS?
touwer··on US sanctions EU government officials behind the DSA
Funny how time and time again, users of this forum mix obvious fiction and facts about Europe and the EU. I guess it's too difficult to read up on these things before posting an opinion reflecting rightwing US politicians
touwer··on US sanctions EU government officials behind the DSA
You obiously have no idea hoe the EU or Europe works. Go read something other than social media
touwer··on Show HN: Hacker News, but every headline is hysterical clickbait
Love it!

Nope, it's Japanese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph...
touwer··on Iowa City made its buses free. Traffic cleared, and so did the air
Paris, Amsterdam, Kopenhagen, Utrecht did it with bikes https://www.ethicalmarkets.com/paris-air-pollution-is-down-5...
touwer··on Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock
Big tech is nothing different from the German industrialists one hundred years ago
touwer··on Google, Meta and Microsoft to stop showing political ads in the EU
Influencers are a big problem indeed. The rules should be tightened quickly. Ads do work too, I'm afraid, so this is good
