I am amazed at how evil a company can be. Well, if pirating any company‘s content was ever morally justified, its nintendo‘s.

The „maya“ convo strongly reminded me of green hell.

Otherwise it looks cool. The synced wolves need some work I guess. I wishlisted it. Good luck!

Btw. What engine?

The kde peeps are insanely nice so I guess you should try.

Not annoying at all.

I‘m running a public instance on two threads and I think 2 gb of ram. A private instance shared with other services on 6 threads and 8 gb of ram. Make of that what you want. :)

I would probably rent a vps which you could extend if needed but start small. With 2 threads and 4 gb of ram at least.

Anecdotal evidence: I run two instances, a private and a public one. Neither uses a lot of resources.

But I get the database thing. Its spiking every couple minutes and a lot every hour. It’s not a big deal if you have 2 threads at least but I can see how it doesnt work for everyone in every scenario.

I‘m glad alternatives exist and I‘m much more positive on AP alternatives than protocol exiles.

Obviously not. I said if a feature is so advanced that libreoffice doesnt have it yet, they can either help building it (by code or by reporting the missing feature or helping advance the discussion) or they can use additional software if such exists or they can pay someone to do it.

What most people forget: you can spend small amounts to actually improve foss software if you need it to „just work“. There are hundreds if not thousands of hobby devs that will help you for a tip! :) if he spent thousands of dollars on plugins, I bet he could sponsor a small dev so that he and others can become independent of windows. Which by the way might deprecate his software anyway at some time.

The important part here is that if someone is willing they can add these features to foss software. Either by learning/doing the work or by helping fund someone to do it for them.

Libre office (no idea about open office, sadly) works in the same way excel does. A lot of the „advanced“ features of excel can also be achieved in other ways or by other software. Of course I‘m willing to get schooled by someone who has advanced knowledge of both and says its insanely different. But from my perspective the differences are marginal.

I switched from ubuntu to debian on 2 machines recently and the difference is drastic. No bloat (snap), no asking for pro membership, just works.

If I‘m not totally mistaken, libreboot is about you getting more control over your machine, ie disabling intel management engine.

Fuck microsoft

I dont really care about the .ml drama but I enjoy anti-centralization.

Wonderfully put! Thanks.

In this particular case I meant that linux is the same in all regards: open source. You can look everything up if you have the time. This makes it possible to change everything and anything you need. Even through different DEs you still have the same structure.

Now if you go try that with windows, you‘re properly hosed. Different package manager? No! Different desktop environment? No!

Simple might not have been the best choice of words though. Modularity might be better.

It really depends on your perspective if windows is „easier“ to produce for. They are fully and redundantly vertically integrated which means they have the means to produce IDEs and even create programming languages.

But it is hugely easier to create a small app on linux imo. The simplicity of linux and the modularity of the different desktop environments is pretty great.

Is it tech illiterate friendly like windows? No! It would be great if everyone would be able to use linux now but we‘re gonna have to be patient.

Install steam and whatever gaming things you have and give it a proper spin. I also added some gnome extensions for system usage. Besides that, pop is very simple.

So we‘re making fail2ban obsolete for this usecase?

For those interested, here a non perfect translation (for copyright reasons):

Hello everyone,

I am looking for an ASD diagnosis for adults in Germany. I have given up on finding one in and around Hamburg, as the waiting lists are closed until at least 2025. My idea is to expand my search area and hope to get suggestions where there are outpatient clinics or hospitals that may have a slightly shorter waiting time. I am willing to drive across the country for this.

Best wishes

Thank you so much. This is very validating.

Imagine thinking you can tell me what is my place and what is not.

It is my place to talk about my opinion all day long and you can do exactly zip about it.

Being dismissive again after I told you where and how you have been dismissive before is exactly the behavior we dont need here.

Talking about all autistic people is wrong it itself. You could get away with saying „on average“ if you have sources to prove your point with.

And telling someone being gifted means doing a test well is discriminating.
