Nice as a starting point, but not enough features to make it worth it for advanced setups.

Britain pioneers alternative power storage methods, particularly pumped hydro, and invests heavily in wind farms, diversifying the grid. So, at the end of the day, they don’t need backup power all that much.

Rooftop solar is routinely connected to the grid - no need to build redundant and expensive battery banks for every home, but the power is produced locally, minimizing transmission losses and strain on the power lines.

Nuclear, on its hand, is nice, but simply too expensive to build nowadays. Nuclear plants take a lot of time to pay off, so running existing plants is good, but building new ones can be a worse option overall.

On an unrelated note: the site has the least invasive adblock banner I’ve ever seen. Made me wish to immediately turn it off.

OnlyOffice crashed for me repeatedly on Debian, LibreOffice did not.

But otherwise yes, I prefer OnlyOffice as well for a much friendlier interface.

LibreOffice just commonly puts mundane parameters God knows where.

They may also feel it’s not talked enough in general, and put it here on Lemmy, where every second post is about that.

Same for Dell; moreover, KDE actually features the respective indicators, so the laptop feels completely Linux-native

Underrated comment

Can’t say for TeamSpeak, but will say for Linux: setting everything up and figuring out your steps in edge cases is the hardest part. Once you figure it out, it gets so much easier.

Good to know!

Currently I run a secondhand Dell Latitude, it was well cared for and is in a great condition, even the battery capacity sits at 94%. Runs Linux like a charm. Couldn’t be happier about it and hope it lasts me a while.

Fair, but do you have to manipulate them at the same time? Most of the time we use our hands to hold something, or do very simple repetitive movements. This doesn’t require much brain power to do, and is still very useful. For example, such arms could hold our bags, while our natural ones can do whatever else.

Yay!

It’s not hard, but the more laptop lasts, the longer it will take before you buy a new one.

You know what, wireless prosthetics could be useful even for those of us who have both hands.

We can basically go full General Grievous and do so many things at once

Carpet mold;

Does someone not main netrunning? :D

As someone who right now plays Skyrim as a stealth archer with restoration, I feel exposed :D

Not only that, but it also affects the decision making. For example, quite recently Russian maintainers were removed from the Linux kernel, citing “compliance”.

It’s easy to imagine same thing happening to Chinese maintainers, for example. And then from other countries. This, too, can strongly affect not just Linux, but FOSS landscape as a whole.

Thanks for bringing up the European foundation, I’ll look into it!

The Linux Foundation itself is in the US jurisdiction - just sayin’.

Which is why I repeatedly called for the Foundation to move into Europe, potentially into Finland, back to its roots.

Ladies, it’s your turn

Let me be clear: I myself am not a big fan of “mock people and then pretend it’s about teaching them”. This is just being a scumbag.

But this is not meant to be that, or if it’s used by someone in this capacity, it’s a very poor laughing matter indeed.

It is good, however, as a conversation starter to bridge the gap. Meant not as mockery, but as an illustrative example to explain how we shouldn’t be afraid of “scary words chemists say”.
