  • Some EU countries (and the City of Munich) habe tried to shift from MS to Linux. It didn't pan out, but maybe this is the decade where it could be done?

    Imagine getting EU funding to run basically the EU IT department - best Linux, best management, supporting open Office suites, and establishing an EU cloud operation. One can dream, right?

    I guess it didn't work well last time partly because of re-training needs, interoperability issues, etc.

  • These dictionaries are a godsend for figuring out what a given kanji means, and how to pronounce it.

    There are around 40 000 kanji characters. Most have various meanings depending on context. And depending on the context, a character is spoken in entirety different ways.

    Greedy fuckers.

    Being "nice" severely limits your options.

  • I've had much joy from using 'windsurf', the VSCode clone with the stupidest name.

  • Zero trust, but you have to use Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, and make your own Telegram bot? And have the domain itself managed by Cloudflare.

    Sounds like a lot of trust right there... Would love to be proven wrong.

  • I'm in Europe and I have never in my life seen a gas station that dispenses every fuel through just one hose.

    Every fuel has its own hose and "pistol". Each "pump" has two or three or four hoses.

  • My living room PC drives my TV projectos and runs Win7. It will continue to do so forever.

    Alas, Steam says it will stop working on 01.01.2024 😡 big bummer.

  • Marie Kondo approves. The picture has done its job and may retire. Toss it.
