das ist echt eine scheiss situation, aber ich habe die erfahrung gemacht, dass wenigstens die leute auf dem amt sehr nett sind und gratulieren wenn der prozess durch ist. ich hoffe du machst diese positive erfahrung auch ❤️

even my phone got burn in…

fair, but considering that you mentioned autoruns and such, i guess you need more specialised things anyways, so maybe kionite just isn’t for you. i don’t use it either, but for my normie friends who need nothing but a browser, office, and mby steam (in that case mby bazzite), its awesome

i have handed fedora kionite to a non-techie who was super happy with it, cuz it looks like windows, but most of the things you need, you can safely get via discover.

working at a research institute, nobody set any restrictions for what os i install. there are guidelines, but only to make sure that people keep their os secure. i’m using fedora, my boss uses mint, a colleague uses macos. everyone is free (as long as it’s within a somewhat tight budget)

i’ve had xbox controllers disconnect randomly in games on fedora 42 (kde) and i’ll try this to see whether it helps. thank you very much!

i would like to second this. though i’m not really experienced with it, creative work can be quite the pain in the butt from what i’ve been hearing.

for general usability and gaming it’s generally not really any more difficult than windows it feels like. i would just always recommend to check whether the things you really need run on linux or have an equivalent. this includes checking areweanticheatyet and protondb for the games you wanna play. some companies block linux in their games because some windows hackers exploit linux comparability… some other companies are stupid and think that a single player needs anticheat…………

also your choice of distro very much matters when it comes to how easily you get your things to work. for example i love bazzite for gaming, especially on laptops with igpu and nvidia, but it may not be the right choice for creative work, like i wont use it for my work related programming. there i use fedora KDE.

im using tidal because it supposedly pays more than spotify, deezer and apple music. (also because of privacy concerns with spotify) i’m not an audiophile and tidal works a little different to spotify, but it’s good.

just know that there’s no hand-off or remote controlling of different sessions (i.e. spotify plays through your browser and you control it from your phone), unless devices are specifically built for that (like speakers with tidal support)

i find it very interesting how suddenly trump loves a law that focuses on consent. so, he does understand what that means?

i also need to know for my setup 😅

YSK that after WWII all allied forces were trying to secure as many rockets, scientists, machinery and such as possible for themselves and themselves only. in the years following WWII basically the entirety of the US, russia, british and french rocket programs were based on german research and massively supported by the german researchers. (whether that was forcefully or by choice…)

this^ thanks for explaining it so well :D

i love the idea of hosting sites as part of a ring, but i don’t love the idea of having to add my full name and address in the about section, which i’d be legally required to do… i think that’s part of the issue for some people at least.

yes, and that’s why it always looks like i joined yesterday. … which isn’t entirely wrong. just off by two months

bei uns im physik LK gab’s 5 jungs und 10 mädchen. drei der mädchen waren die drei besten schüler*innen der schule, und die jungs waren allesamt mit dem kurs überfordert. der mathe LK war ausgeglichen sowohl von der anzahl als auch der fähigkeiten der schüler verschiedener geschlechter.

ich bin wohl auch in der hinsicht in einer blase gewesen an meiner schule.

oh i absolutely can blame them, because they made a choice. either you take my money and respect my privacy, or you sell all of my data and won’t get my money. however you can’t sell all of my data and take my money, nono, f u alphabet, that’s not how this works.

dealing with logitech devices. i love their hardware, but i feel like they’re really bad at doing any kind of software… i know that there are alternatives for configuring logitech devices, but i quite enjoy solaar.

i’ve heard that some people love using kate because, with some plugins, it really can do all most people need. i’ve seen a dude make a video on it but would need some time to find it again if there was any interest.
