Thank you for the detailed reply.

1. I’ve used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I’m missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to ‘make files available offline’. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.

2. I assumed that’s best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux “problem” I suppose. Yes, it’s possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it’s on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
   Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it’s often community maintained?

Fortunately it’s just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It’ll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

See my comment below, we’re moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to do so in the shared folder. We’ll see if that’s true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another…

The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to work in the shared folders. If that’s true, we’ll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

Completely agree, it’s basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze

Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.

Mehr grün versiffte Bourgeoisie konntest du jetzt nicht in einen Beitrag packen, wie?

Curry, you said it yourself, a very exotic spice mix!

Was möchten Sie denn sonst noch Sie Schnösel?

The cheapest 256 SATA SSD i can find is 15€. The cheapest 512 GB is 24€. That’s a 9€ difference for double the capacity at retail prices. I can only imagine how marginal the cost savings for a big manufacturer like valve would be.

Ok, but hear me out, we can make atoms go boooooom so what about that???

Maybe not in the long run, but please someone think of the next fiscal quarter!!

Voice recognition is the most infuriating replacement for physical buttons.

It would definitely never ever happen, only maybe a little bit, but really it’s just a plug, which is like not an ad.

Or on Android check out adguard, blocks ads systemwide. That includes in app ads. I couldn’t live without it anymore.
I can’t remember what the free version is missing but I bought a lifetime license and it was well worth it.

Laughs in Tesla funded by unlimited oil money. “I’m doing my part suckers!”

What kind of maintenance do you do on windows?

Imagine an implant giving you the ability to speak a foreign language? Or code? Or whatever specialized knowledge?

If it was safe I would totally do it. But by that point specialised knowledge X would probably be worthless since anyone can get an implant.

Honestly, this was the reality. Half the shit couldn’t even be accessed without flash. Does nobody remember the flash on mobile drama?

Yeah, or just a slow charger next to bed? Who doesn’t have a charter next to bed? Especially a slow one costs nothing.

Definitely wouldn’t want to give up PD speeds to top up during the day. Well, I would give them up if I didn’t have to top up during the day.

Never had any problems, just avoid the biggest GPU manufacturer? It’s Nvidia’s fault to supply shit drivers for Linux, but statements like this highlight how far away we are from “the year of the Linux desktop”.

Sounds fucking delicious
