I’ve disabled windows update completely so I can pick and manually dl updates. Never going to put that recall shit on my pc.
- Comment on United Nazis 1 day ago:
Last I checked most people supporting Luigi aren’t international leaders in positions of power, nor is he committing war crimes. So the situation of a leader in the UN defending Israel’s war crimes and genocide is a far cry from the people oppressed by UHC and their kind being happy that Luigi took down one of the oppressors.
I’m not looking back on this thread at the moment, but iirc this is the one that made the distinction of her being a person of power. If it’s not, then I guess ignore what I said or consider it in the context that the main issue to me and others is that she is a person who has direct power to enable Israel’s reign of terror over Palestine. Making her complicit in the genocide.

It makes you complicit, as the other person said.

It’s really close to OneNote so far and has an acceptable self hosting option. The import function seems good compared to other apps I’ve tried

I don’t know. Pretty sure bleach isn’t allowed in most drinks but you can feel free to drink as much as you like at home.
jk if that’s not obvious

If I could afford a NAS I would have done so by now. But I can’t afford the drives. Most other hosted solutions either don’t offer the capacity I am after, or lack other features that I want from a cloud storage.
I didn’t like using Obsidian and I’m not going to learn markdown so it’s out. I’m looking at notesnook, but it’s still not quite what I am after. But might be as close as I get.

Each time I tried to decipher the answer from argumentative forum posts and vague descriptions I didn’t find anything equivalent. I can take a look again, don’t think that was the name of things I tried before.

The only thing preventing me from full adoption in it is the lack of being able to convert to table like in excel. I’ve moved to it for my word processing. But I can’t shake excel because I use that feature almost every time I use the program.
After that i just need to find replacements for OneNote and OneDrive and I’ll finally be free.

PhDs are hard, don’t get discouraged if you get told to rewrite tons of things. My Dad had to rewrite many parts to his dissertation, the arbitrary nature of the rewrites was the hardest part to deal with for him. Hopefully you have better advisors!

What can I say? I’m a hopeless romatic. Granted it would have to be more than a teaser trailer. But still, I suppose I’m subject to flights of fanciful hope.

I’ve been fooled before. Not getting my hopes up till valve posts a trailer.

Good Luck Luka!
I feel like I’m a minority in this group in that I really don’t like self hosting but I do it anyways because it gives me the things I want from a content/privacy/control/ownership perspective.

Windows has the market share and linux dev time means extra cost for a small market.

- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 3 weeks ago:
I’m not really hinting at anything. I’m saying that not everyone that comes to look at Linux will have technical info to understand why that guide matters, nor will they want to invest in learning beyond meeting their needs. Having supported windows and mac users alike, the overwhelming majority really just wanted something that wasn’t a hassle. And they favor which ever OS gives them that in the way they find least onerous.
And so the distro chooser helps the ones of those willing to put in a tiny bit of effort to try something new, but don’t want to go read extensively to do it. It’s better than rolling a die when it comes to meeting their needs.
Trying to force people to see linux the way you want them to see it will never work. It hasn’t worked for decades now. All the factions with their different ideological principles get in the way of Linux more than help it. The guide you linked is mostly removed from that thankfully and to its credit. It is also a lot of info a basic user doesn’t need to know in the end. They want “OS go brrrr”, not to understand the nuances of flatpak and snap, or why atomic might be beneficial to them. Even though knowing all of that is definitely in their best interest. I fully agree they’d be better off knowing. But they still don’t want it. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. And since Linux people won’t generally come meet them at their level (or worse you get two people trying to ‘help’ arguing with each other instead of helping), a tool that does something like the distro chooser has to come meet them. It’s only a benefit in Linux adoption at the end of the day.

While that’s a good read for someone more technical, the distro chooser brings it to people of lower technical prowess.

Yeah, i ham fisted my own strategies until I got though. But it definitely made it harder since I wasn’t doing ballet on my keyboard.
- Comment on Doom: The Dark Ages' PS5 physical release reportedly has just 85MB on disc, and Xbox isn't much bigger 3 weeks ago:
I got through eternal, and for the most part had fun. (fuck marauders) But the damn skill ceiling in the DLC killed my interest in completing those. 2016 was definitely my favorite of the two and I really liked the back too roots mechanics. The devs have talked about how they want to do something different in each game and how Dark Ages is intended to be more grounded than eternal and hopefully less complicated. Also has tons of difficulty sliders for every little aspect of the game so it should be much more tailorable than previous games.
