Seems like Leni, Davel and Jaaaane are all alive and posting, not sure who you think is dead?
I think those living the drama enjoy it and thrive from it, seeing as they haven’t just created a new account where they would be free from it.

Låter mysigt, hittade inte det när jag var på nrk.no men jag hittade den här:

“We have zero plans to put AI into LibreOffice. But we understand the value of some AI tools and are encouraging developers to create … extensions that use AI in a responsible way,”

Att de kör på opt-in AI via extensions för de som vill låter väl alldeles utmärkt, det innebär dessutom att de slipper använda sina resurser på att implementera och kan fokusera på själva programmen.
Finns redan extensions ute för de som vill leka med AI, hur redo de är vet jag inte.

Helt seriöst så ser jag /c/sweden som en brasa som aldrig riktigt tog sig innan man stängde till så nu dör den av syrebrist.

En morgon som denna har vi ~1000 samtidiga användare på /r/sweden att jämföra med 37 besökare om dagen på /c/sweden.
Vi har ett gäng eldsjälar här som ser till att det kommer lite trådar att snacka i men det räcker inte riktigt till. Själv är jag inte en av dem, det var länge sedan jag bidrog.

Ska vi få fart på /c/sweden behövs det fler trådar att diskutera i och att de som är här lyckas rekrytera fler besökare.

Seems like SecuROM won’t install from playing singleplayer:

That sounds reasonable and I can understand the decision.
theguardian.com only gave us this for context:

The chorus of Conte’s empowerment anthem contains the phrase “serving kant” – a queer or drag slang phrase roughly meaning “to express boldness”.

With the abundance of languages in the EU I imagine that allows us to find quite many words that are phonetically similar to rude words of other languages.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see if it’s only the English language that are afforded such privileges of denial?

On the other hand I don’t really care what happens in the eurovision song contest.

duckduckgo is one of the few search engines that doesn’t require javascript to function.
Removes all the fancy stuff and leaves you with search results and nothing else.

theguardian.com works just fine without allowing javascript to run at all, and don’t seem to load the trackers if you deny cookies. I did get a page popup where they pleaded but didn’t force me to subscribe if I allowed the optout domain to run javascript.

The very same.

They’re lobbying the EU for backdoors in e2ee so they can sell their tech stack to scan all our private communication. https://www.thorn.org/solutions/for-platforms/

Ah yes, the scanner software company Thorn that’s trying to lobby chat control into existence in the EU. Sorry but I don’t trust thmn or their surveys.

That said, spreading deepfakes of others without their consent is obviously wrong.

I haven’t tried it myself but there is libreoffice online
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-online/
https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online/

Their site works fine without allowing javascript, that way it turns into quite a simple thing too!

A favourite of mine on that theme is from Boondock Saints (1999)

Now we must all fear evil men.
But there is another kind of evil.
Which we must fear. Most.
And that is the indifference of good men.

If you go directly for a partner who games you can skip the kids and save the time and money needed for gaming. ;-)

Obsidian Entertainment has gone from Fallout: New Vegas where you were free to kill anyone, even at the cost of disrupting main quests, to Outer Worlds where most of that freedom is still intact to Avowed where the freedom to do evil choices is either taken from you (npcs not reacting to being shot in the face) or having no impact (npcs ignoring your stealing of money and food in the tavern).

I agree with your thought that it’s a directorial choice, not attention to detail, but it’s one that goes in the complete opposite direction of what the studio is known for.

My recommendation would be to use clonezilla or a similar tool to make an image of your windows install and save that on the external ssd.
Then I would install Fedora KDE or whatever’s your poison on the internal drive.
If you wanna switch back to windows then you can always use clonezilla, or your tool of choice, to restore the image.
You could also use KVM/Qemu in your linux distro to restore the image into a windows vm.
virt-manager gives you a desktop gui while cockpit + cockpit-machines gives you a nice webui for handling virtual machines in linux.

Both Cockpit and Virt-Manager are available in Fedora KDE’s Discover app if you prefer GUI installs:

Reason I went or self-hosting Forgejo is to know it when federation comes along for real.
I’d love being able to federate my self-hosted Forgejo with my friends self-hosted Forgejo servers.
