I’m a Linux user since '94, the 1st Android phone I got (company phone) was rooted, the 1st one I bough ran Cyanogenmod and I even developed Cyanogenmod for my 2nd tablet. (1st was crap) yep, free software user. (and kind of developer)
Welcome to the good side. ;)
I’ve been running Linux since I could afford a 386 in '94. (and learned years later a 386SX would have run it as well) Every time I need to work on Windows for an employer the 1st thing I do is find who can help mne fix windows when I break it. (I seem to be pretty good at that, although it doesn’t seem to be a huge skill)
Technology isn’t to enable users to do what they want, but to let corporations do what they can get away with.
No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.
Argh. But be glad they didn’t add tomato. Also technically correct, but you wouldn’t want it.
It was wet and cold (10°C) during the day, dry and warm (12°C) at 23:15 when I walked the dog yesterday. It hasn’t happend very often that in winter the night are warmer.
I have to admit, we had a christmas 2-3y ago where we worked in the garden, as it was the only dry and warm day for months.
I’m one of those that just can’t avoid using windows at work. At least at work they come with a very useful adition, windows sysadmins. They already learned that giving Linux apecialists admin rights. (It gets harder and harder to deny any Windows knowledge)
Haven’t used windows at home since 3.11.
Then I’m curious in which EU country you’re living. As far as I know, only EU/EEA and 3 EFTA countries have free roaming in EU. According to Wikipedia that is.
UK wanted out, completely out, so that what happened to UK provider, they are out and get charged. No wonder that customers now get charged as well. Nothing to do with Greed, just the result of leaving and the Anglo-Saxon economics, the user pays.
Text? isn’t that dead for ages?
Maintaining your own mailserver is getting challenging, but post like these show it’s still worth the effort.
I don’t unsubscribe from spam, I block domains.
Yeah, so? Every woman is a female, not every female is a woman. Same as that every woman is human, but not evey human is a woman and that every human is a mamal, but not every mamal is a human.
If people are offended by the truth, they should go to truth, as no truths are to be found there. Snowflakes can’t stand the heat. ;)
I’m not sure how your Dutch is, but this is the article I found in our paper: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/07/19/dichtbevolkte-gebieden-op-aarde-worden-langzamerhand-onleefbaar-a4170109
It is probably behind a paywall. (at least in our country nun subscribers get 4 free articles a month)
It’s already predicted that we would live as species in the artic circles as that’s the only area still inhabitable with the prospected 3-4C temp rise. (as long as it’s high enough) I’m not sure if I’d want to live to see that happen.
Thankfully technology is bailing us out even though we don’t deserve it.
Somehow I get the feeling it’s already to late for that. The Amazon is already in a bad state and they’re discovering the temp at which leaves die and won’t recover is even lower then they expected. AT this moment we’re having to much freak issues that science couldn’t predict (it’s worse then they thought) and as species we’re more concerned on killing ourselves then fixing problems we created.
I think nature is pretty fast solving the main cause of the issues. Nature will survive, I just hope that the next dominant species is a tad more brighter. (and that it will take a few decades more)
We can only hope that this year finally opens the eyes of the deniers. (Before nature decides to finally solve the issue)
Most single specimens are acceptable, but in groups they tend to get worse. (or at least a lot louder)
It also depends on your own ability to handle them though, in some cases here even encountering 1 is to many. (I like my space and quiet surroundings)
Check, where ‘very large’ can even be 2+ in worst case scenarios.
Believe me, even after 28y using Linux this is a tough one.
Is flatpack another package manager like snap with it’s own dependency hell?
Haven’t seen it here yet, same country, Vivaldi and uBlock.
Then that’s misleading to the customer. When you buy something online and have paid for it, it should be collected and delivered.
When you need to pay a tip to get the omployers/contracters of the company to do business with to do their job, there is something terribly wrong with the situation. Tips should be for complementing employers with their good/excelent serice, not to ensure they have something to eat while the company earns enough and underpays their staff.
That’s how an open market should work, companies paying their straff living wages and charging what a product/service costs to be viable. When the product/service is good enough, the customers will come, when it isn’t, they go out of business, freeing employers for work that is values correctly. The US market of underpaying employers and required tips from customers looks more like modern slavery/forced labour.
