Maybe an old gas station with a new purpose

And I still end up doing it wrong

Honestly, why is this stuff always done with windows? Wouldn’t a minimal linux distro save some costs and headaches? Is there a legitimate reason? I feel like I’m missing something here

Wow, you’re right. Teams is not fully supported. Apparently Video and Sharing in Meetings is limited. Didn’t know that. Well that sucks

I don’t know how many normal sites even have a problem with Firefox. I guess only some small, niche web apps, but otherwise most people would see no difference. Even if developers don’t explicitly test on Firefox, almost all features will still just work (at least for normie usage). Power users might encounter some challenges, as the post describes.

I use Firefox btw. (not Arch though)

Yeah, it certainly has the flow of stream of consciousness. After a while I got used to it and then, it indeed becomes quite accessible

All right, you got me. I’m gonna have a look at the chapter myself

Yes, that is exactly what Joyce would’ve wanted!

The atmosphere really sounds amazing. I’ve never been to Ireland, but if get the opertinity it would be cool to walk through the city on Bloomsday.

I read Ulysses once and not even scratched the surface, but the geography sounds like a interesting topic to dive into. A companion book could be useful, but I guess it would also take a lot more time to get through the read.

If the quotation marks are a stylistic choice than so be it. Makes it harder to read though. The last chapter is missing any kind of punctuation as far as I know, so that has to be a wild ride

MicrosoftChrome.exe sounds like a great name for a virus or something

For those wondering which xkcd:

I didn’t know about bangs until now, and I’m reflecting my live now. How was I able to use duckduckgo without them for so long? So many unnecessary clicks …

Duckduckgo. I stpped using google for the privacy stuff but I stayed because of the language switch.

I don’t know if I tweaked a setting to achieve it, but I have a language switch below the search bar. Google always showed me german results when searching for something english and the other wy around, so I love this feature. Search results are good enough for me, so duckduckgo it is.

When I first switched to linux, the only reason I didn’t give up was because I couldn’t figure out how to burn windows onto a flash drive from a Linux machine.

Okay, that is hilarious

I guess most non-technical people are always fighting their computer. It is really hard to watch my grandma do anything on any device, but she’s managing windows pretty well compared to her android phone (with accessibility settings), because she has used it the longest. Even the tech-savvy Windows users are probably used to some windows quirks and work around them, just like GNU/Linux users open a terminal as a reflex. And if anything is different, it will always feel like fighting your OS. I think the problem is the change, not the OS

I’m mainly using Fedora these days, but for some games I still have to dualboot Windows, which I can’t say I’m enjoying. Just over an hour ago the Nvidia drivers crashed. On Windows. Repeatetly.

Anyway, I’m quite happy with Fedora but I haven’t tried many OS to be honest. I prefer stability over the slight advantages other OS might have

I guess I should finally read Snow Crash, but other books keep getting in the way. I just finished Neuromancer which surprised me with how well written it was. No idea why, but I expected the classics to be more … exhausting.
