I mean, we do still have a lot of politicians saying that it’s super dangerous. Söder is a good example, always saying how bad it is and that he doesn’t want drugs for Germany. He also drinks beer all the time btw. His party (CDU/CSU), who have been in power for the last 16 (or something) years before the current government also said the first thing they’re going to do when they’re back in power is make it illegal again.
I’m going to finish school soon and I want to drive a car when I have a job and can afford it. I’ve used public transportation for the past 3 years and will probably still use it in the future when it’s not too inconvenient but a 30 min drive to work taking 1 hour instead, where I spend 30 minutes just waiting, sucks. This weekend I drove to a friend. It would have taken 30 minutes by car but it took me 2 hours with public transport because I had to wait a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The issue isn’t public transportation itself but that the government was trying to save as much money as possible and it is getting better with the new government but there is still so much to do and it will take time.
My drivers license. Now I’m 19 and still need to do it.
I hope GTK and GNOME (or is GTK part of GNOME?) adopt this, I didn’t even know just how bad the inefficiency with todays cursors is. Having a single svg for each cursor and rendering it server-side makes so much more sense.
Did someone already open an issue for this?
You can’t really apply that to every messenger and WhatsApp is what’s used almost exclusively
It’s really cool how a lot of Laptops nowadays (including mine) have a feature built-in that covers and disables the webcam with a button press. I can have it disabled most of the time and when I need it, I just press the button to enable it.
Interesting. Still sucks that they don’t give you the option to choose a cloud provider for this but I didn’t expect them to just let you use your PC.
Should probably mention that premium is only 10 bucks a year. I also don’t just pay for the feature itself but also to support Bitwarden, it’s completely free and open source after all.
So it backs up system settings, app data and stuff as well, right? But do you just need a PC for that or does it have to be a Mac?
You’re right about the last part, I didn’t think about that. But wasn’t the whole point of this that you can only backup your system and app data to iCloud? Can you back that up using a computer as well?
Yeah, it was exactly like that for me too. Bought a few disposables (still have them in my drawer, will probably bring them to the supermarket for recycling at some point) because I didn’t want to actually start vaping but realized that I already did.
As far as I know, Android also doesn’t give you the option to back up system and app data to something else than Google Drive. LineageOS gives you that option but they implemented that themselves.
That’s still expensive tho. After 10 months you could’ve just bought a 2tb nvme instead. Or a refurbished 10tb HDD.
I think Piped just feels slower because of the web page, I’ve noticed that everything is a lot snappier when using LibreTube, especially playing videos. On LibreTube, when I click on a video, it instantly starts playing while I have to wait several seconds on the web page for it to start playing.
Once you turn on your Laptop it should just sync from your phone, no? I don’t really get what the issue here is
No because what if Jay-Z offered me $500,000 to pet him?
If every app on your phone was constantly running and asking the server for new messages, it would drain a lot of battery. That’s why phones instead use a single app that asks a notification server if any new notifications are there. The way it works is if you e.g. get a WhatsApp message, the WhatsApp server tells the notification server that you have a new message, then when the notification app asks that server for new messages, the server will tell it that there’s a new WhatsApp notification. Then the notification app wakes up WhatsApp and tells it there’s a new notification, then WhatsApp checks for new messages and shows you the notification.
Most apps use Apple’s system (whatever it’s called) on iOS or Google’s Firebase on Android for that. There are also apps that let you use the open standard UnifiedPush, which let’s you use any notification app or server you want.
I agree with the others that testing in a VM (Virtual Machine) first is probably a good idea. Keep in mind that because of missing 3D acceleration inside a VM things like desktop animations might not work.
As for distros, I’d recommend Mint or Fedora. I personally use Fedora.
What’s also important is the desktop environment you choose. The most popular ones are GNOME and KDE Plasma. GNOME is closer to MacOS than Windows and is made to just work while KDE Plasma has a layout similar to Windows out of the box but is very customizable and has a lot of options. Ubuntu uses GNOME but they make quite a few changes to it. Fedora uses GNOME by default but there’s also a KDE Plasma version, I think. Mint doesn’t have these 2 by default, you can always install them if you want to afterwards tho. The 3 options Mint gives you are also more Windows-like but I haven’t tried them myself, so I can’t tell you much about them. A VM would give you the ability to just install them, try them out and delete them afterwards. I personally use GNOME btw.
