I’m a big fan of racing games. No real racing simulation, but more arcade style. When I got a Xbox Series X as my first games console after over a decade I first downloaded Forza Horizon 5, because it’s supposed to be one of the best racing games on Xbox. I was so anoyed by the whole story… I just want to race and nothing else.

I got NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered. Loved the original when I was fun and enjoyed the Remaster on Xbox.

Some games just try to add more and more and to please everyone but in the end nobody is completly happy with the result.

Can someone replace her with the Bubba horse from the other meme that is going around?

I would bet against this. I think people who buy a steam machine (and same for steam deck) will know what they get into.

And the device is focused on gaming and the games will probably run worse on that hardware if one installs Windows. Therefore I think that people who want to use Windows will not buy a steam machine.

But maybe time will proof me wrong.

Short and honest answer: Working in another country for more than a certain numbers of days would have legal consequences (tax, visa, …), would increase my costs and my employer likes to see me in the office once in a while.

I felt this pressure before, but independent from telework. It took me a while to realize that there is always that much work that no matter how much I work, I will never complete everything. Therefore, there it’s not really worth it to work more. I do the ours I have to and that’s it. I do a good job and my boss knows that.

But I’m also aware and thankful that I have the advantage to live in a country with good worker rights, a good employer and my interests lead me on a good career path.

I get it, but hear me out: My company offers to take “workation”. For one week this year I worked from another country. I worked for around six hours a day (shorter than usual, because I used some overtime) and enjoyed my freetime in a warm and nice city. I went to museums and good restaurants after work. I did not use one day of my (more than average) holidays for that, but took another week off for only holiday directly after the workation. It was great only possible because I had the possibilty to work from anywhere outside the office.

But here comes the thing. I didn’t need AI and didn’t need Windows for that. It’s possible for years already. Microsoft is - as everybody knows of course - trying to sell shit to people that they don’t need and don’t want.

I never hated my job. Sure, there were times where I wasn’t that motivated and I probably a few days, where I didn’t like to go to the office. But ai never hated it during the nearly 20 years I worked in this field. It is not ok to hate your job and most people don’t. Hate is a very strong feeling.

Yes and no. It’s still more a theoretical choice.

If you buy a new computer, you have basically the choice between MacOS and Windows. And if they do not want a Mac or are not able to afford it, the only only Windows.

Sure, you can buy computers with pre-installed Linux, but it’s hard to find.

Now, with Hardware not supporting Windows 11 anymore, more people switch to Linux, but it’s still a small amount. And many people do not know how to install linux. It’s relativ easy these days on older hardware, but if one buys a brand new computer, there are often still problems with hardware that is not yet supported out of the box in Linux.

I think, consumers should have the right of choice for an OS at the moment they buy a computer. There should be the option to have Windows, a Linux distribution or no OS installed.

lol.

Thx.

Sounds like the setup can be quite complicated. ;)

I might need to dive into that topic.

Sure, it always does.

I’m fine choosing the best fitting distro from all these points mentioned in the post you linked.

Unfortunately the post does not cover the only question I have: Is there a distro with specially good multi Keyboard layout support.

For most people - including myself - this is never an issue, because they use only one layout. But especially people from countries with non latin alphabets really need this.

He may have a limited ability to understand what she needs from her os as a dual language user, and as a non technical user she may not either in a way that’s helpful to him in trying to understand the options and setup process in front of him. A less technical user may not be able to communicate how or why something isn’t working the way they need, and he has no context or experience from which to infer.

Yes, that’s exactly it. I can technically set it it up somehow. But I have no feeling for how the layout switch should work well.

My wife on the other hand had problems to pinpoint what exactly make it feel unnatural when switching the layout. But as I figured out thx to another comment, many Korean keeboards have a dedicated key to switch the layout.

My wife is a typer on the keyboard. And it might happen that she needs to switch the layout multiple times within a minute. Therefore this is something that should work without issues.

No, thx.

You’re right! I just checked and it was a dedicated key to switch the layout. That makes it easier!

I think one thing that bothered my wife when she used my notebook was the keyboard shortcut to switch the language.

Thanks! I’ll check out the videos.

True! Most stable system I ever used.

The author of the app says, his app does not contain any bible texts. Only chapters.

I agree, many parts of the bible are not safe for work.

Downvote me for it, but I I think it should not be flagged. The bible is simply not covered by F-Droids NSFW definition.

Just to remember parents: You don’t need to buy everything for your kids. Even if their best friends have this toy and your children want it and cry to get it, they do not need to get it

For some reason, I was reading “stuffing cats” in the headline and was a bit confused. I’m happy I was wrong and the cats are alright, but it’s still bad news.

Was ja auch nervig ist, wenn man vor einem Update zunächst die News checken muss.
