Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn’t what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It’s so annoying that there’s practically no way to do that in Linux as my company’s processes rely on it.

As much as I lean to hate this despite it not even affecting me as a Linux user…

I’m going to structure this as a Q&A with myself now, based on comments online

What is that? “I’m going to pretend to ask questions that I’ll then answer myself the way I think it’ll outrage that most people do I’ll get a lot of clicks on this shitty article”? What crappy excuse for content creation is this? I hate it.

I want to get off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride

Yeah, but it’s a lot harder to cross. Like, I could build a shitty boat from wood myself. A spaceship? Not so much. Especially not if it’s actually supposed to leave this gravity well.

Whereas Skyrim feels like there are a lot more playstyles available. Stealth archery feels very different to covert shooting, which feels very different to furtive bow handling, which feels very different to being a stealth archer which feels very different to using an arrow silently, which feels very different to using a huge, two-handed bow quietly. They’re not just visually different; how you approach and navigate combat encounters will be significantly different depending on what kind of build you have. It just feels like there’s so much more gameplay depth.

It surely is going to help “marketing” with “numbers”.

It is. And yet, it just harvests upvotes. I don’t get it.

but I have the impression that people sing easily “Deutschland über alles”.

What the fuck?

Dude, please connect to some Germans that aren’t Nazis.

Oh god, I totally forgot about that one. I loved it. The content still seems to be great, too. Nice.

I’m just really looking forward to that optimistic feeling of looking into a bright future. It’s what I always loved trek for and from the looks of it, Resurgence captures it.

Hey angel, did you give the dinosaurs more muscle like I asked?

But you can’t do everything in js? Ever tried writing an operating system in an interpreted language?

You could call them “commies”.

Yeah. That’s the one I considered more deeply. Still too big. Still only 3 years of promised security updates and only two major revisions of android. Nah, hard pass.

/edit just saw that I mixed up the Roman and Latin numbers in my previous post. Yeah, the 5 is what I meant by 5.

Last year I needed a new phone. The Xperia V (I think) just got released and seemed perfect… But in the end I decided against it because of their horrendous update roadmap and large phone sizes. I’m not going to buy a new phone every three years and I hate phones that can’t be used with one hand - and despite doing a lot of things right, those two points are just not addressed by Sony. I want their compact range back and I want Fairphone levels of updates.

Das heißt halt, dass von 14 Leuten eine Person es okay hält, ihre Kinder zu vermöbeln. Das ist halt nicht die eine irre Person von nebenan. Ich wohne in nem kleinen Dorf mit 1400 Einwohnern. Jeder kennt jede. Die Vorstellung, dass hier hundert Leute ihre Pökse verprügeln würden finde ich erschreckend.

How are you going to attend a riot if you stay inside?

Bei der letzten Wahl sind die Umfragen auch erst kurz vor der Wahl zu seinen Gunsten gekippt. Gib die Hoffnung also nicht auf!

If the alternative is Windows which is increasingly filled with ads or Linux which shifts the burden of computer administration to a user who might not have a clue about what they’re supposed to do if their WiFi doesn’t “just work”, paying for a managed walled garden that doesn’t try to install candy crush without you asking for it isn’t such a bad option.

Oh we have a dedicated Linux service contract with a dedicated Linux support company that has technicians just to deal with Linux issues and provide the Linux setup. We’ve had time to adapt. I guess some bloke still decided that there just had to be a malware scanner and now we all have to eat shit. This is much less a lesson for it departments and much more a lesson that the people who manage stuff just have other goals than the people working with the tools that are managed, so you end up with somebody who wants to cover their ass in case something goes wrong in the future and makes it a terrible experience for everybody in the process but can sell it as a necessity to the people below and as action to the people above.
