Traurig weil wahr. Man sollte eigentlich meinen, Microsoft würde ihren eigenen Standard kennen und richtig umsetzen. Aber deren KI scheint den Standard wohl nicht zu verstehen.

As long as Google pays most, it will stay as default search engine.

Wenn man es wirklich „braucht“, kann man die Microsoft-Office-Produkte auch problemlos im Browser nutzen, die neuen „Apps“ zum Installieren unter Windows sind eh nichts anderes als PWAs.

Spielen geht unter Linux inzwischen ebenfalls quasi Problemlos – selbst Spiele die unter Windows Ring-0-Spyware als „Anti-Cheat-System“ verwenden kommen nach und nach auf Linux.

Es gibt für Privatpersonen keinen einzigen echten Grund, noch Windows zu benutzen.

The only solution is to treat the Gmail address like the address you get from your ISP: Do not use it as your main address, and only use it to communicate with the service.

My Gmail address only exists in the Google universe. Only Google uses it to contact me and send me information and spam.

The only thing I did is setting up a forwarding rule to forward all mails to my actual mail address where I filter and sort the mails, so I don’t need to manually check Gmail but get preprocessed information only.

“Glückwunsch”?

„Booking.com“ stinkt für mich 10 Kilometer gegen den Wind nach betrug und Abzocke. Völlig egal, gegen wen sie alibimäßig vorgehen wollen, das ganze portal ist für mich Betrug.

Daran kann man sich genau so gewöhnen, wie gegen die innere Uhr zu leben.

Die Idee: Menschen sollen lernen, wieder zu essen, wenn sie hungrig sind, und aufzuhören, wenn sie satt sind – ohne äußere Vorgaben wie Kalorienziele oder Diätregeln.

Ähhh, ist das nicht sowieso das, was die meisten Menschen machen?

If people are hurt enough, they will push towards it.

While I totally disagree with both, there are distributions without systemd and there are NEW projects that keep X11 alive and shun Wayland.

Something like this could happen with the Kernel. I’m not the one doing it because while I dislike Linus’ pro-slop stance I don’t really care enough for actively working on something like that…

But if available I’d install it instead of the slop Kernel.

Software that’s “just a tool” can lock you down and out of what you can do with it.

AI is not “just a tool”. It is highly unethical.

It harms the environment, it harms actual developers, it introduces all sorts of legal issues where copyright is only one of them, it locks you in to a vendor, it makes you dependent of giant tech companies that steal your data and want to monetize your work.

Linus seems to ignore that or does not care about it.

Same with statistics and probability. But they still have a point.

Fuck.

Let’s hope for a slop-free fork or the old man changing his mind on this bullshit.

My desktop computer monitor is a 28 inch 4K screen, so yes, it is on the upper end of the median screen size, I guess. I ran Hyprland on my laptop (13 inch 1080p) for some time but I like my environment harmonized, so I use the same configuration there, too.

For easier management I make use of labwc’s areas and snapping feature to have windows proportionally the same size on both screens. The areas use percentages by default, which makes it quite easy. I have top, bottom, left, and right, the four corner quarters and two different center regions.

On my laptop I usually only use the center region for the browser.

Using Waybar I have a detailed clock and a sound widget on bottom right corner of my screen, and left of that is space for “systray” icons.

My windows have a title bar, that show the icon and title, and a close button.

No task bar or other navigation elements on the screen or the windows.

I make heavy use of Alt+Drag actions for resizing moving windows around and constantly have windows rolled up so only the title bar is showing. I never minimize windows and rarely use fullscreen.

For accessing applications in a convenient way I use the root menu on desktop rightclick and the client menu on middleclick.

The whole setup is fully customized and built from ground up to be as least annoying and intrusive as possible.

This is basically my setup since ca. 15-20 years now. Started with Openbox on Debian and since 2008 Arch Linux, and around 2-3 years ago I switched over to labwc on Wayland which allowed me to re-create what I used on Openbox.

So it’s open core now? As if this would be any better.

So, Vaultwarden it is?

Ich kann auf meine GtS-Instanz mit mindestens 6 verschiedenen von mir mal getesteten Clients zugreifen. Irgendeine Art von “standardisierter Schnittstelle” scheint es da also zu geben.

AI bros going crazy about this right now.

Humanoide Roboter können alle Aufgaben sehr gut.

Humanoide Roboter brauchen praktisch ihre komplette Arbeitsleistung dafür, um bei der Fortbewegung nicht umzufallen. Effektiv können sie quasi nichts – und das auch noch schlecht.
