While I agree that Mic am not working can be difficult to work out with none technical people I have that experience with Teams every day. I work in IT, as do my colleagues and every morning the first call goes like “Can you hear me now?” “Gotta switch the mic.” …this is on teams on Windows/Mac and Linux … So in my anecdotal experience browser based solutions are no better or worse

The whole European grid is connected (which is a miraculous feat). And yes, there is a European market for energy where countries can sell surplus and buy in high demand situations.

1. You’ve got Black and White working? I’ve smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes “Windows” ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive…) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd “patch” for your application ;)

I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I’ve already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones … So now I’m honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.

MHH interesting. I honestly haven’t really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.

Incredibly I’ve had two printers I’ve never really had issues with.

1. The brother laser my sister uses with Ubuntu without a hitch since forever
2. The canon inkjet printer/scanner that is wifi connected in my flatshare

Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze

1. Not an American but sure fight the strawmen.

2. To say all the hostages are European Settlers is just such a false view of the facts. A lot of these people weren’t settlers. And to assume they are “European” (by which I assume you mean White) is also wrong. There are Jews (and Arabs) that live (and have lived) in this region for centuries, also there is a huge population of Jews that are black or general POC.

Interesting. I’ve just looked this up 2 days ago. It seems there is no longer an option in Gnome that it will respect (since 43) and as far as I can see the open in terminal is a Nautilus (gnome-Files) extension and there are other plugins that provide the functionality to change that.

Sorry that was autocorrect. Meant to say “patreon preview” funny because später in german means “later” which is when I did watch the video “later” :)

“If Israel didn’t exist there would be no people fighting against the existence of Israel” … What the Fuck?

What kind of role reversal is that blaming October 7. on the “occupation” seriously? I’m not saying Israels government didn’t have a hand in creating adversity and Terrorism by suppressing the Palestinian people but to claim the horrific massacres were there fault is just plain evil.

Oh I can be mad about it >:(

Seriously gateways should be first or last address in the space. Fight me!

I’ve seen the musical a bunch of times and when I finally managed to read it last year it was a revelation. While I still love the musical the book is so much more intriguing and interesting and just manages to much more perfectly capture the main theme.

Night need to re-read this one soon ;)

This. So much.

The Martian was the first and to this date only book that I’ve read and, when I was finished, decided to re-read right away.

Love all Andy Weirs stuff. I’ve read the Martian four to five times now (lost count) I’ve also read Artemis twice and am currently re-reading Project Hail Mary.

Even when you know the ending the way there is still always fun another time.

Also I’ve re-read the Dirk Gently books since I just love Douglas Adams

As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it’s tough to admit. But I can’t use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I’ve often noticed that it will simply “drop” words from you search terms (i.e. if you search “yellow computer chair” it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.

Why is it unlisted? Is this a pattern preview? I love seeing new TechnologyConnections but I’m not gonna watch später on preview I don’t deserve

Can’t quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these “China PCs” it’s passively cooled (which was important since it’s running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I’m quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.

Jup same here. We have a colleague that constantly reminds everyone that we’re not properly patched (even running eol versions) but there’s always something to be done that’s a higher priority.

Which are?

Yeah might have gotten stuck on Debian as well if I didn’t make the mistake to run stable when I first tried it. Choosing stable made sense to me since I wanted a stable os but when I was greeted by “ICE weasel” that was way behind the Firefox I got used to on Ubuntu and other software being terribly out of date I decided to move on.

Well then I got stuck on Arch.

But while it would be easy to say “never looked back” that’s not true of course, these days I tun Debian on most of my machines (only that they are servers) and Ubuntu on some (like my work Laptop) my personal Desktop and laptop are Arch though and probably always will be.
