I’ve used matrix on my own server since 2019. From the get go, I knew no one will immediately hop on to another service, as people are using mainly whatsapp where I’m living. Thats why matrix is really nice, I can have all those different IMs bridged to my instance, like I had back in the day I had everything bridged to irc.

So I mostly use element to chat people on irc, matrix and on whatsapp.

Element’s awfully named. It’s not as blazingly optimized nor as good (of course!) as whatsapp or signal. But it’s good enough for my use. It’s okay.

Well, I’ve been waiting for a vnc support for wayland for like 5 years. Better late than never, I guess.

However, there are other gui based remote software: gnome’s baked in rdp, cockpit in a sense…

I’m still using paid nova as I’ve been for like 10 years. I’ve blocked internet access for it (running grapheneos), I’m not really seeing risks in using it?

I’ve been using linux since ubuntu 5.04 so I dont need converting, but from business perspective we would need Office M365 desktop apps and MDM support. Also autodesk products. Personally I use M365 in browser, but feature parity is not up to 100%.

I think when all win32 apps work, there will no longer be any reason for windows.

Just slap a win7/win10 classic gui over it with some animations and we’re going finally decimate all the other options for good.

Now its said aloud - now what? On thiis very moment there would be momentum to actually accomplish things, but as trump always chickens out, the momentum will mellow out unless things are done now.

Boot hungary off the EU and take Canada into the bloc. Create EU armed forces and simplify/unify taxation across the EU. EU should be more united than now.

Where things go wrong are when bigger EU nations have their own interests come into play to fuck it up for the rest of us. Like Germany swallowing everything coming from the US (because of car exports) or from Russia (because of gas import). There are challenges, but for 20 years I dont think EU has accomplished much in practical sense but more regulation upon regulation. I dont think that’s a winner strategy.

Simple cropping, drawing and blurring are something I now know I used nearly daily basis earlier. Tried to find a gallery viewer that had simple pixelize and cropping, couldnt find one.

Installed aves libre for pictures, and now using signal’s inbuilt pixelize function.

Yup, same thing with pixel8pro and grapheneos

Yeah but dont expect feature parity with samsung’s dex. Dex’s a mile away in small quality of life features. Android’s baked in desktop is so barebones I cannot fathom it took google 9 years to get this out. Its embarrasing.

I sold my samsung and moved to grapheneos, but I really miss dex. And gallery.

Thanks.

Out of those specs, what doesnt exist?

I’ve done this at some point. Didnt look up the source, but this might affect other ms sw as well, namely older office. If activated lets say within 90 days twice for a certain cd key, you were easier to call the number to get the windows activated (legally).

Yeah I use linux myself so dont give a fuck all, but I’ve offered support for small companies which can be affected.

Linux needs an apple-like manufacturer (but in a good sense): good, marketable products with good support.

If we’re always relying for big current OEMs to offer linux option, they’re gonna hide it and never offer 1:1 support compared to windows.

I’m for some reason hoping for valve+some oem working together to offer a valid option to the current choices.

No. Ddr4 ram prices have been tripling this year.

I needed ddr4 ecc, but couldnt justify paying 3x the price that I paid last year.

Also wanted to buy ddr4 sodimm for my wife’s laptop, you guessed it, 3x the price.

Did he wear a helmet?

Yeah been scrambling to get this one patched.

Venezuela is a developing country, has the world’s largest known oil reserves, and has been one of the world’s leading exporters of oil.

Well that explains it

I guess you dont have kids?

I make “six figures” and pay everything in my family. Mortgage, childs clothes, electricity, heating, groceries, everything is so friggin expensive compared to the simple times of 00’s when I lived off with $500/a month in uni, and had great time. The pay for my vacancy was even better in 2010. So my predecessors were making more 15 years ago and every fucking thing cost less. Society is fucked.

But I’m not going around shouting this off rooftops. Because I got the highest compensation when considering my uni friends, and I make do. My kids get new clothes every so often, we have money for food and one vacation yearly. Things are okay, but thats me. For many, things are beyod fucked, and I feel sorry for them.

And ddr4 production has been phased down so that drives the older (but still perfectly usable) ram prices sky high

A lot of good ones here already listed, some of those I’ve started and veered off due to busy life with kids.

What I didnt see was uncharted 4. Never played any other in the series, but bought that one from steam sales. You know when you picked up a good book which you couldnt put down but had to read through as fast as possible? Or new tv series that you had to binge? Well surprisingly uncharted 4 was that for me last year. After I was finished I felt empty: “whats now?”.

A very few games have gripped me that way.

How come? I’d bet they’d be the most easiest “oem” to get started with.

All western ones will be on the mercy of google licencing, so I’d guess no one wants to burn bridges.

Thats what I did for 10 years.

To get my wife or parents or kids to use these often hacky and clunkier UIs was pain. I eased up and decided not to care. All iot shit are now in their own vlan with only :443 outboud allowed and I have integrated them to hassio. If my wife wants to use those million different cloud apps, I install those for her.

Decided just not to care.
