Maybe an old gas station with a new purpose

And I still end up doing it wrong

Honestly, why is this stuff always done with windows? Wouldn’t a minimal linux distro save some costs and headaches? Is there a legitimate reason? I feel like I’m missing something here

Wow, you’re right. Teams is not fully supported. Apparently Video and Sharing in Meetings is limited. Didn’t know that. Well that sucks

I don’t know how many normal sites even have a problem with Firefox. I guess only some small, niche web apps, but otherwise most people would see no difference. Even if developers don’t explicitly test on Firefox, almost all features will still just work (at least for normie usage). Power users might encounter some challenges, as the post describes.

I use Firefox btw. (not Arch though)

MicrosoftChrome.exe sounds like a great name for a virus or something

For those wondering which xkcd:

And thus the spectrogram was born

I never learned JavaScript and I can very happily say, I won’t need it for my career. Hopefully.

I didn’t know about bangs until now, and I’m reflecting my live now. How was I able to use duckduckgo without them for so long? So many unnecessary clicks …

Edge is just an edgy meme at this point

Duckduckgo. I stpped using google for the privacy stuff but I stayed because of the language switch.

I don’t know if I tweaked a setting to achieve it, but I have a language switch below the search bar. Google always showed me german results when searching for something english and the other wy around, so I love this feature. Search results are good enough for me, so duckduckgo it is.

When I first switched to linux, the only reason I didn’t give up was because I couldn’t figure out how to burn windows onto a flash drive from a Linux machine.

Okay, that is hilarious

I guess most non-technical people are always fighting their computer. It is really hard to watch my grandma do anything on any device, but she’s managing windows pretty well compared to her android phone (with accessibility settings), because she has used it the longest. Even the tech-savvy Windows users are probably used to some windows quirks and work around them, just like GNU/Linux users open a terminal as a reflex. And if anything is different, it will always feel like fighting your OS. I think the problem is the change, not the OS

I’m mainly using Fedora these days, but for some games I still have to dualboot Windows, which I can’t say I’m enjoying. Just over an hour ago the Nvidia drivers crashed. On Windows. Repeatetly.

Anyway, I’m quite happy with Fedora but I haven’t tried many OS to be honest. I prefer stability over the slight advantages other OS might have

I don’t see a probelm, I always compress my attachements to a postcode file before putting them in the envelope

I used atom a lot. It nice to see the alternativea emerging, so we don’t have to rely on vs code / vscodium. I will for sure check this out

Sure, electric cars have higher emission in production, but that is not the main issue (in my opinion). The break even point compared to usual cars can be reached. The real issue is that electric vehicles are still too expensive for most people and infrastructure is lacking.

And synthetic fuels are a dangerous notion. They have a terrible efficiency (primary source to kinetic energy), so they will be way more expensive than gas. They are only an option for cars that for some (aesthetic or esoteric) reason must use combustion and for Porsche users, cost is not an issue, just as for Formula One. The problem is that not banning synthetic fuels opens a way for combustion engines to stay on the streets, and when the transition from normal to synthetic fuels is not made (because it will economically not be possible) we will still have gas and unchanged C02 emissions.

I feel like most of my searches are too specific. At least specific enough that I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT on the details anyway and would have to confirm the facts by googling
