- Comment on FreeBSD To See Better Laptop Support With Investment Backed By AMD, Dell & Framework. 1 month ago:
Very happy to read that, but honestly, when reading “$1 million USD” as investment sum, it reads more like an advertisement stunt than a real investment. (Like, 2 senior developers for one year?)
We need more diversity in Open Source operating systems for desktops, laptops and any of the *BSDs is a great candidate. (Would love to see Haiku getting some sponsorship or even ReactOS!)
- Comment on German Chancellor promotes government cloud from SAP and Microsoft 3 months ago:
Seems SAP’s investment in good arguments pays off.
OTOH Europe and Germany have obvious problems in the cloud sector: They cannot do it on their own and thus are depending on either the USA or other countries who have the know-how.
Not a situation you want to find yourself in, when IT is the backbone which keeps everything running.
Luckily German government’s investment in paper, floppy drives and fax machines makes it secure against attacks towards IT infrastructure… ;-)

Very nice, should be a top level post so nobody misses it! :-)

Don’t worry, while you are waiting for Windows to react to your input, you can enjoy watching some ads in the future(1)! :-)

Dark Souls Remastered, haven’t beat it, yet. There is something which always calls me back and this time I am making rapid progress. :-)

Thanks, especially the Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells caught my eyes and there is no excuse not to play it for me! :-)
- Comment on Short games with lots of replay value? 7 months ago:
No worries, I love the classics and never played StarFox64, put on my backlog!
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 7 months ago:
I have it on all my phones and Steam.
I love the phone version, because StS works perfect/intuitive with touch controls. I also play it on the laptop with a mouse, no problem. I never used a Switch so cannot comment on it at all.
It really boils down to how you like to play it, but right now it is only a few bucks in the Steam sale, and you can return it within 2 hours, so why not try it on Steam and see if it clicks? (WARNING: It clicked for me after more than 2 hours, at the start I found it a little bit bland.)
- Comment on Short games with lots of replay value? 7 months ago:
Thanks, played both and had very good time!

Stardew Valley is in my library of shame, I just never feel that peaceful when I have the urge to play. ;-)

Thanks, looks exactly like my kind of game!
- Comment on Short games with lots of replay value? 7 months ago:
lol … I definitely have to give Binding of Issac a try!
- Comment on What games do you replay regularly/annually ? 7 months ago:
I was waiting for someone to mention Chrono Trigger, thanks! At the same time it is one of my favorite games of all time, but because of this I always want to replay it when I can fully focus on it. (Which of course, never happens for adults.)

Nice! I’ll have to play Subnautica! :-)

- Comment on Contra: Operation Galuga - Demo is online, release 12th of March 8 months ago:
Never played Contra 4, just the NES Contra and Super Contra, is Contra 4 worth to play?
I have to admit I did not even notice that there are no sprites. What the demo totally nailed are crisp controls, pacing and mostly level design. (Mostly, because my nit picks would be, that the weapon pods/upgrades use the same red as the enemies, which makes them hard to see sometimes, and even in Arcade mode there are some animations (helicopter crash, boss on top of the waterfall) which are so long they break the flow, a little bit too easy for a Contra.
Still, I am looking forward to next Tuesday!

- Comment on France uncovers a vast Russian disinformation campaign in Europe 8 months ago:
Add to that, that every news is owned by someone, makes a minimum of 50% of its revenue from ads, and gets the rest of its revenue from paying customers from a class with expandable income who don’t want their worldview challenged or destroyed… It is really scary, how easy it is to manipulate public opinion by simple strategically choosing how facts are reported (pictures of humans vs. reporting numbers, wording, etc.), which facts are reported in the first way and where to position the information (top of page vs. footer). It is fun to call out Russia, instead calling out the ruling class, companies, the western governments etc. They all lie and they all try to control/direct public discourse.
- Comment on Mozilla CEO quits, org pivots, but what about Firefox? 8 months ago:
Great write up, thank you very much!
I expect Google to keep Mozilla/Firefox on the lifeline indefinitely to avoid antitrust issues in the states and EU, so Mozilla/Firefox won’t go anywhere.
Still, this doesn’t mean anything, because I often need Chrome or Safari to access some websites.
In the end is quite funny: Moving a lot of stuff to the web made Linux a more realistic desktop option, at the same time to access a lot of stuff on the web one needs to run a Blink browser.
IMHO the most annoying thing is, that we could have at least some laws, which mandate that every government service must be available to Open Source users and every government paid software must run on at least Linux. Thanks to lobbying and power this will never happen.

Playing Yakuza 0, my first Yakuza game and I am having a blast playing it. Highly recommended!
- Comment on The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolution 1 year ago:
Had an Eee PC and it was great for its time. It was a later version, I think a 100X with an Intel Atom and 2GB of RAM. I used different Linux distributions on it (could order it w/o operating system in my country) and was quite happy with it, although it was slow (but not painfully so).
Funnily enough, a few months back I bought an HP Stream 11" in a sale, which I am using to type this right now. Depending on your use case, and your willingness to run Linux, I can really recommend the HP Stream 11". Initially I just bought it as a cheap travel option (in this role it performed absolutely perfectly), surprisingly I use it also at home for surfing/watching/emails every day, although for work I use a more powerful machine and a bigger display.
What really is crazy for me, that nowadays a HP Stream 11" offers a much better user experience than an Eee PC back then, IMHO thanks to better browser optimizations and ZRAM on Linux.
- Comment on The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolution 1 year ago:
Had a 100X EEE PC, for my use cases they where totally usable, but of course I installed Linux with a lightweight desktop environment on them. It was even possible to run Docker containers and virtualize Windows XP.
- Comment on The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolution 1 year ago:
Did you check out the HP Stream 11"?
Fanless, descent battery, camera, light and small. Best feature: Full size keyboard with a mostly standard layout and sd card slot. The display is a little weak but good enough for one person usage. I would not use it with Windows 11 (tried and it was painfully slow), but running Fedora Linux I can use it mostly like my desktop machine.
(Typing on this machine right now. ;-))
