“The most sustainable phone is the one you already have”. But if you need a new one anyway, go for it. I’m really happy with my FP4.

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don’t look into a problem it does not exist.
It’s a fact!

I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, of course) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it’s absolutely amazing!

What I haven’t found yet is a FOSS (or even just “free as in beer”) replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one “task”, allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I’ve seen mostly work in “shifts” or let you assign one task to one person. But we’re in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of “conceptual work” over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don’t want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

The only one I’ve seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something…

Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.

“Ceparoo” is indeed a great state!
Also I like that it settled the dumb “Gulf of Mexico” thing. I think we can all be happy with “Martnla”.

Wow that was quite an encyclopedic post. Thank you for the good read!

Oh wait, you’re even the same person who made the mistake? That’s even better then! And good on you for taking it with such humor. =)

Is this inspired by the “my son cooked me food” post from today? If so, well done crafting it into a joke!

Never ever believe companies when they make promises like “we will have x by date y”. Especially if date y is further away than maybe the end of the year. Shell also made big promises and then quietly dropped them. Of course the making of the promise came with a big PR budget. The dropping of the plans was silent. Weird how that works…

I also at first thought it’s not that bad, because it looks like the main part of the computer is “hovering”, because it stands on that round portion. But then I saw that the button is on the backside! Why? That way you have to reach around everything, making it impossible to fit the thing into some smaller space and still use it. If it was on the bottom but in the front you would still have your beloved button-less design but the button would still be pretty accessible.

I wanted to nitpick on the “other side of the world” part and tell you that NK actually shares a border with Russia. But you’re actually right, Russia is just that massive that its border with Ukraine might as well be on the other side of the earth.

Love the image of wheeds just popping up all over your garden where you don’t want them.
It’s a great metaphor for the “HEY, TRY THIS NEW THING!” shit microsoft pulls.

Additionally much software (and hardware even more) primarely targets windows as a platform. The way printers mostly “just work”™ on Linux still amazes me, because printer vendors have all the incentives to make their stuff work for the most used platform, which sadly isn’t Linux right now.

Don’t worry, we need more of those too. <3

Then you’d have 0 dollars because they aren’t dorks. They’re nerds and we need more of them. ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

Not yet…

Yeah, I remember the first time I saw the :// thing I felt myself having a little design-gasm.
This doesn’t touch the same spot for me…

Absolutely not an expert or anything, but is it possible that the partition of your harddrive that you’re trying to install Debian on (hd0) is too small?

Thank you, this gets to the core of the problem. Exorbitant amounts of money and effort is spent to find where the letter of the law does not match the spirit of the law. Language is messy, so it never completely will. But in cases where the spirit of the law is so obvious I’m happy when it’s enforced instead of letting them off on technicalities.

Why are they using Word in an exam in the first palace? Like, to write an essay? Our non-pen-and-paper exams were all using some web platform that worked pretty well.
