change.org doesn't like my mail address for some reason, and they tried trick me into subscribing to their newsletter :/

It's more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.

Ist das echt? Ich finde den Original-Post nicht mehr

This! It's very difficult to give good advice if we know nothing about the situation.

three-part series about the history of racism

That sounds interesting, but I couldn't find it. Do you have a link, or a title?

I can reommend "Encounters at the End of the World" by Werner Herzog, it's about researchers in Antarctica and what motivates them to be there. So many interesting people, and it gets a bit philosophical.

Good for you I guess but good luck with commercial software development when your whole toolchain is Windows only. Same for video games, and Proton only works properly if you have a new GPU which supports all the Vulkan features.

I can print at my workplace, and there is a library 5 minutes walking distance from my apartment. These huge commercial printing machines are so much better than anything you can buy for your home, and I don't have to maintain them. I'm very grateful I don't have to own a printer.

From the article:

When you have enough storage that you never have to delete anything, you can keep an infinite record of your life. Packages, receipts, itineraries of past trips, messages from loved ones, photos, appointments, documents — you can just label them, archive them, and search for them later.

I don't want Google to have that information for free, to analyze/monetize/sell to 3rd parties. That's one of the reasons why I quit GMail. It was difficult too because I was registered to literally 100s of websites with that address.

In my experience it goes well with eggs too!

I've used both self-hosted Nextcloud, and an instance set up by my school. I have the client on two different Windows machines, and I can confirm the update either tries to kill explorer.exe, which doesn't work half of the time, or forces a restart, so you're not alone with this issue! I also hate the client UI and how it displays conflicted files when multiple people are accessing the same folder. The whole file sync thing feels like a poor attempt to copy Dropbox. My school discontinued Nextcloud support last year because hosting/maintenance took too many resources, they switched to Microsoft i.e. OneDrive and it works much better.

Wasn't OP complaining about the Windows desktop client? What has that to do with the server setup, Docker, etc? People can have the exact same issues on the client side even if the Nextcloud instance is professionally managed by a large organization.

Maybe their next console will have a very similar hardware architecture and it will be easy to adapt existing Switch emulators?

 

Für mich gehört zu Pommes unbedingt Ketchup dazu. Ich esse alle paar Wochen mal in Schnellrestaurants, und vielleicht kennt ihr das Problem in Österreich: Wenn du Ketchup haben willst, musst du das extra kaufen. Mittlerweile bestellt man oft über einen Touchscreen, und auch sonst wird kaum noch nachgefragt, ob man zu seinen Pommes Ketchup dazu haben will. Mir ist es schon zu oft passiert, dass ich mit meiner Pommesportion ohne Ketchup dagesessen bin und es mir zu blöd war, für ein trauriges kleines eingeschweißtes Plastiktütchen noch einmal anzustehen. Wenn ich allein bin, will ich auch nicht mein Essen im Stich lassen. Mal ganz abgesehen von den Soßenpreisen, die sich mittlerweile im Bereich von 1-2€ pro Portion bewegen. Ich war auch schon in den USA und in China, und dort ist das Ketchup im Preis inbegriffen und man muss nicht extra betteln, um ein bisschen Soße zu seinen trockenen Pommes oder Chicken Wings zu bekommen. Mir kommen dann jedes Mal fast die Tränen, weil ich an die unzähligen Male denken muss, wo ich in Wien auf meinen trockenen Pommes herumgekaut habe. Passiert ist mir das unter anderem bei McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, City Chicken, und heute beinahe bei Swing Kitchen. Das Salz muss man ja auch nicht separat kaufen. Und wenn ich ein Sprite haben will, muss ich die Kohlensäure auch nicht extra verlangen und mit Aufpreis bezahlen. Warum quälen die mich so? Was sind eure Erfahrungen?
