Load “*”,8,1 - However, this would not open a specific program, just the first file on the specified drive (if I remember correctly). For a specific program, you would have to name the program.

you’ll end up better

…maybe not if you are part of that bubble in some way, e.g. by participating in the corresponding stock markets that are currently dominated by those tech companies.

What would be the main difference compared to Matrix, which also claims to be “an open network for secure, decentralised communication”?

It’s not a bug - it’s a feature!

Basically it was just a dotted line around your text. But in German it was called something like “ant platoon / queue” or such. I think this function existed between Word2000 und Word2007 if I Google correctly.

There was a function in WORD, where ants could walk around your text…

Trump is only the puppet of some ultra-right-wing forces behind him in cooperation with tech-oligarchs seeking to take over power.

TL;DR: Tech billionaires like Karp see the rest of humanity as their worker bees.

Librewolf as well!

Maybe not if you are thirteen years old…

He would soon get new fans, don‘t worry…

Recently mobile phone operators introduced a “fair use policy”, so it’s not really a”roam like at home” anymore, but data volumes can be limited to a fraction of what you are entitled to in your home country.

This is a point where WiFi might get more important again when traveling.

They will pay it back in “Melania-Coins”.

Hey Folks, we have “AI” for you and you will use it, whether you want it or not…

This will come out nicely on the wedding pictures.

Which Distro would you recommend for a relative newcomer? My PC was once “high-end” but is already a bit older (2016/17?). Still quite powerful, I guess.

OK, thanks for the information, that sounds really interesting. I was playing Doom Eternal and Metro Exodus some time ago, but I made a bread and didn‘t pick it up anymore due to a lack of time. Many years ago I was also trying a bit of Linux on a Netbook (small notebook). By then it was really a different world than Windows.

However, I am not sure how easy that is to manage with getting the right Linux distribution, then Wine, then Proton and then getting all tricks and tweaks right… - I am not a tech expert, so leaving a system that works out of the box is a bit of a hurdle for me.

What would be the best Linux „Distro“ (I guess that‘s how it is called) to start with? I would prefer if I would not have to deal with command line stuff… ;-)

What is “Proton” in this context?

I have a custom built PC running on Windows 10, which has no TPM and therefore cannot update to Win11. I might consider Linux as an alternative on some regular laptop, but I’m afraid that my games might no longer be running if I switch the OS from Windows to Linux.

The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.

I thought that’s the plan?!
