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.

Yeah, it was just a dumb joke. I’ll try harder next time.

I thought calling somebody “not-a-nazi” would be okay, but guess I just gotta try to be better. Sorry, didn’t want to mess with the Grundgesetz.

Krah, in a weekend interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, said that someone who had been a member of the SS paramilitary force in Nazi Germany was “not automatically a criminal”.

Totally-not-a-nazi ^TM

Dude, Arafat recognised Israel in '93 as head of the PLO. All that would have been left was this:

Israel just needs to return to its 1967 borders and recall all the illegal settlers

Guess what they didn’t.

Your simple “all that would need to be done” remark was fulfilled by the Palestinians 30 years ago. This whole argument of “Hamas just needs to recognise Israel” is literally decades behind, we’ve been there but Israel just didn’t do their part. I’m not saying Hamas isn’t a terrorist bunch of fucks and the October 7th attacks were obviously vile, inhumane terror. But your “solution” was already unilaterally rejected by Israel, so please come up with something better if you’re seriously suggesting this “both sides need to calm down” crap.

Probably from people who aren’t out of their minds?

The west bank wasn’t under control of Hamas… And what did they get? Israel dismantled the settlements in Gaza, not in the West Bank. Is there a Palestinian state in the West Bank? There’s fuck all. That’s what the Palestinians over there got for no Hamas: settlers that take their land and even less authority over their lands.

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

There are sincere attempts to explain why things in the Alien universe are the way they are

But that’s not what made the original movies great. Not at all. A lot of stories are great because they do not tell certain aspects. Explaining it all just leaves you with nothing left to explore.

Being naked isn’t hot. Being partly dressed and suggestive is hot. You need to leave some things hidden to make it interesting.

Are Israeli Jews driven out of their homes by armed gangs today? No.

Well… I guess some hostages would like to differ. What a jerk. With parts like that, I’m not surprised by the outcome.

Nice. So, I have an encfs folder on a cloud storage. Any way to use vaults to access it? Haven’t even found a way to load existing folders that were set up with vaults, let alone using something else…

Then you’re working with the wrong others.

If you host a forum, you can easily access the database to move threads into some kind of archive if you no longer want to host it. It could also be moved to another server. Stuff like that.

Using a proprietary service instead is just a bad idea.

Wait… You’re not using Linux at work???

Same. More specifically windows 8.

Dude, calm down.

I wasn’t trying to be condescending. If a technician has looked into it then I guess there isn’t much you can do. The issue usually not coming from copper cables was just supposed to maybe give you other ideas on where to look for an error. Like, maybe your router sharing its WiFi frequency with too many neighbours or something.

Also, I’m not saying you should spend more money on mobile. I just don’t think the pricing is as bad as it was ten years or so ago… Getting mobile broadband for 20 bucks is cheaper than most landlines and if the reception is decent it might be an alternative. If it isn’t for you that’s fair, too.

If LibreOffice isn’t an alternative then maybe try to run your office in wine? For things that aren’t games the setup is usually manageable. If that doesn’t work then maybe a VM might be a solution? I think most modern VMs offer modes where they keep the boot process of the guest OS hidden and just show you a single window. Like, you get an office icon on your desktop in Linux and if you click it the system boots a windows wm that directly launches an office window but only shows you this window once it’s there, which should seamlessly integrate into your Linux desktop. If you’re a student I think there are cheap or free ways for you to get a windows license to try this, but it’s been some time since I studied so don’t take my word on this.

DSL doesn’t do bandwidth sharing, so unless your provider’s backbone is over capacity, the amount of users is not relevant to you. Certainly not the ones in your apartment complex.

Mobile reception is hit or miss depending on your provider. Where I live, I have essentially no reception whatsoever on my work phone which has a Vodafone sim. My private one with a Telefonica sim is better but still bad with the phone usually getting 4g but with a bad signal, so Internet is decent but calls aren’t too good when I’m not on my WiFi. My wife’s Telekom sim on the other hand works perfectly, so maybe just try different providers? My wife’s using congstar (Telekom’s no frills brand) because she doesn’t need 5g. We generally pay between 15 and 20 bucks per month for our contracts, which all have more bandwidth than we need (20gb for me), which I think is manageable and not unreasonable at all. How much do you pay?

Lol. What the hell are you talking about? Internet could be better in some parts, but it’s certainly fine for Web apps.

Yeah, but it’s still pretty much as good as it gets with the original. Like, this is ms office. It opens ms office files. Even if it doesn’t do it as it did twenty years ago it can be pretty much considered the way it just looks now.

There are enough web based office instances running for Linux to be functional in that regard.

Photoshop on the other hand…

This module contain cmdlets to manage Windows Update Client.

Sounds trustworthy to me.
