Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice
  • Why not? Collaborative editing is extremely useful. I've done it at work, with friends, and with my gf.

    There's no reason the government couldn't own it's providers via NextCloud or something.

    EDIT: I guess the big, mean old collaborative editing features are out to get us and take away our freedoms and steal our puppies. Collab editing must be Satan's work and there's no way any moral person should find it helpful.

  • Best 8 euros I've spent for a game
  • If you want any advice to help in combat, I'm happy to give you a breadcrumb. I knew I'd love playing that game within minutes of watching a friend play it. I've put countless hours in and can't wait for my next playthrough.

  • Best 8 euros I've spent for a game
  • I'd recommend the first be played first, but I also think that if you instead play the second first and you love it, you can then go back and play the first.

    The story unravels a bit smoother from 1 to 2 than in reverse.

    Both are great games on their own.

  • Pssst, I got the stuff
  • I think toilet paper is better suited for wiping one's ass, and flushes better, but this will do in a pinch

  • Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?
  • A big benefit of encryption is that if your stuff is stolen, it adds a lot of time for you to change passwords and invalidate any signed in accounts, email credentials, login sessions, etc.

    This is true even if a sophisticated person steals the computer. If you leave it wide open then they can go right in and copy your cookies, logins, and passwords way faster. But if it's encrypted, they need to plug your drive into their system and try to crack your stuff, which takes decent time to set up. And the cracking itself, even if it takes only hours, would be even more time you can use to secure your online accounts.

    On Linux, my installs always had a checkbox plus a password form for the encryption.

  • I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal?
  • If distro hopping happens more than once a week, please stop hopping immediately and dial 911 as this is the sign of a very rare and serious symptom

    plays more upbeat music

  • How I Broke up with Adobe
  • I think with more adoption, a lot of Linux's friction against more adoption will be resolved faster and for more people and use cases. Gaming is already at a point where you can practically play more games than you'd ever have the time or energy for.

  • Hopefully it's not a slur...
  • I see your point. It's much weirder to say one thing is also the middle thing. It's probably much safer to say you have a middle name only if you have an odd number of names greater than one. You safely (IMO) have two middle names if you have an even number of names greater than two.

  • Hopefully it's not a slur...
  • Well, if you have just 1 name, then technically, it's your first, middle, and last name at the same time

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?
  • You're right. I can't recall the other utility's name. System Monitor is fantastic, but I just wish I could set the niceness and all that like you could on the old utility.

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?
  • Well KDE had this awesome process management tool, I think it was called System Monitor or something. You could tune process priorities with IO and CPU. They deprecated the tool though, I think because nobody wanted to port it to QT6

    EDIT: It's not System Monitor. I can't recall the name, but there used to be an app that let you set niceness / priorities of your processes.

  • Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux?
  • HardInfo2 may be interesting to you

  • 🚨 Team Barred Owl We Need You 🚨
  • So they can eat a snake? I wonder if they have special adaptations for being bitten by or eating a venomous snake

  • Recommendations for mobile Linux desktop environments that run well on an x86 tablet?
  • Should be plenty fast enough to handle Gnome or KDE. I think you'll also want ZRAM because presumably your RAM won't be much and your storage will either be slow or limited. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to enable.

    I think both DEs are very touchscreen viable, with the possibility that you may have to configure a teeny bit, like adding a virtual keyboard

  • [Quantum] Computing just changed forever… but there’s a catch (from Fireship) [4:59]
  • QC in tech and in business is generally ubiquitous to mean quality control though

  • How old were you when your dad gave you "the talk"?
  • Look, there must be limits. The amount of sex-demand one would get from doing something like this is beyond what any person could survive

  • Favourite cheese! 🧀
  • There's a smoky garlic cheese I get from my local grocery store quite often. If I remember what it is, I'll update this comment here

    Edit: Brllavitano Garlic and Herb is one of the cheeses

  • Get Certified for Less With The Linux Foundation's Cyber Monday Offer [60% Off]
  • Well, in tech, if you have experience, that tends to be the biggest deal by far and can often do all the lifting on its own. But hiring managers also appreciate certs and formal education, especially if you don't yet have much experience.

    It would likely give you an advantage Vs some other person they're considering with your level of experience.

  • Terraria's next update is delayed because dev will "not force anyone to crunch for an arbitrary deadline"
  • There's always a new 9 year old, 11 year old etc. and always a new gamer of any age, who hasn't ever bought the game. Same with No Man's Sky and Minecraft.

    You'd likely make way more if you separate games and DLC, but some companies seem to be fine sticking with just the one. You will still make money as you keep adding things to your evergreen game

  • On Kernel 6.4+, is there a way to limit the clockspeed of my processor on AMD-Pstate-EPP? (amd_pstate=active)

    I'd like to set limits on the clockspeed of my laptop for efficiency and to reduce heat and fan usage. Is there some way I can do this in AMD's Pstate-EPP driver?

    Is there a CC, Debit, or other card I can use that's a little nicer to small businesses?

    I don't know if this is true, but I've heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that's not cash that would be better?
