Actually, if Linux/BSD/... doesn't work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux's usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS's quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.

Soo, booting your computer from someone else's computer?

I mean we've had thin clients and PXE for ages?

DDG has also gotten much worse since the introduction of AI features.

It used to be somewhat better: Corel Linux and Creative apps existed...

 

Does the Nextcloud SyncClient (Android) work on any ereader? I'd love to use it to snc my books and notes, but the blueish interface does not display at all on my monochrome eink tablet. Does anyone use Nextcloud successfully on a b/w device?

Thank you for the info! Otherwise I would have missed the deal. The affinity suite is the best thing since Photoshop 5.0

I'm still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

I am dependent on a couple of programs I run via wine - and wine still isn't directly compatible with wayland and buggy with xwayland...

It's actually worse! Last jan Microsoft bricked the entire fleet of laptops in my company with a borked generic driver update. It overwrote the sd reader's vendor driver blocking all storage access from working whatsoever. From one week to another more or less all devices refused to boot. They basically killed our entire company for half a week, until IT could walk people through efi-disabling the sd reader in every laptop (recent industrial models mind you) just because windows had pulled in the wrong driver. So... no - it's not great at all with automatic driver installation in windows ...

Emacs ist doch die Kirche des heiligen Ignutius

 

An old grudge: i actually love KDE Plasma, but rely on a plethora of remote Samba shares for work.

Gnome/gvfs makes it so easy to integrate them in the file picker/nautilus and performance is great. On KDE kio (or whatever that is called now) always caches a copy first, which takes forever and prevents many applications from writing to the files correctly.

I'd love to be using KDE again. Is there anything I can do to get better/faster/more reliable samba access?

 

Nightjet aus Wien, die dt. Bundespolizei holt mich unsanft an der Grenze aus dem Tiefschlaf - was soll das?!

Einerseits: bedeutet Schengen irgendetwas? Andererseits: Was soll ein Nachtzug, wenn man mitten in der Nacht geweckt wird? (Ganz früher hatte wenigstens der Zugchef die Pässe vorab eingesammelt.) Grunz.

Ab dem neuen Schuljahr 2023/24 müssen alle BaWü-Schulen weg vom Landes-Dienstleister BelWü und eigenständig Mail-Lösungen suchen.

 

Erlebe seit 6 Monaten mehr Ausfälle bei Stadtbahn und Bussen als in den 6 Jahren davor. Ist der Fachkräftemangel wirklich so krass? Und warum so plötzlich?
