Why are they so foreign to your country, though? Poor people who use them but can’t afford a ticket frequently get jailed.

多好的主意 !

Go to your profile settings. There should be a list of languages you can select. Depending on the interface you use, Ctrl+Click may do the trick of selecting multiple languages. Then save.

Personal recommendation: This induction cooking field with precise temperature control and timer. Not only saves electricity, but a lot of time as well.

(Mine once broke, but even though it was out of warranty, the company repaired it for free [or sent me a new one, not sure].)

Likewise, for your next electric kettle, get one with adjustable target temperature. This way you don’t heat your tea water to 100 degrees when you only want it at 85 degrees.

Thanks. The article headline seems to be inaccurate though: What actually seems to be the case is that the methane emissions from abandoned infrastructure are larger than the methane emissions of any country other than CN, US, RU. (So it does not seem to be true that, say, the overall greenhouse gas effect stemming from abandoned infrastructure is larger than the overall GHG effect from all countries except these three.)

For anyone wondering, the wealthiest top 1% alone accounts for one-fifth of warming.

Full abstract:

I bought a T5xx-Thinkpad from nbwn.de (=notebookswieneu.eu) many years ago. It was an extremely good purchase. They ship to the entire EU for free if your order is above 200€. They specialize in selling demonstration laptops, i.e. devices that companies tried out and then returned, so they are essentially new.

However, I highly recommend to wait for the Windows 10 EOL to really hit around winter time, because then thousands if not millions of used and unused laptops that are sorted out for not supporting Windows 11 will flood the market. (Even if you’re aiming to buy a laptop so new that it will probably also support Windows 11, the flood of older devices could well bring down the prices for such newer devices also.)

See other comments: Got bought up by some company and then enshittified.

Look into PhotoGIMP, afaik it precisely delivers Photoshop-like symbols, maybe even layout, and shortcuts

Browser is nice. On Linux though, Okular is superb (except for its occasional problems with forms).

What’s your opinion on Affinity (Designer/Photo)?

Apparently Audacity has been bougth by a company which subsequently did crap with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/s9isqj/help_tenacity_a_fork_of_audacity_after_its/

Not sure how good Tenacity currently is

Well, on the other hand, it’s by far not always the case that the program one person is currently using is already the best choice for their use case. For example, in the process of degoogling, I’ve begun using a lot of programs that are actually better for me than the ones I previously used (e.g. Notesnook > Google notes). Of course there’s friction/effort involved in finding the best replacement, but there’s just no way around that if the goal is to get away from the defacto standards.

This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.

Ich glaub die Downvotes kommen einfach, weil in dieser Community hier (auf lemmy.ml) die allermeisten Leute Englisch erwarten.

Well, shit. But at least there’s this:

It’s also far from clear that the tech industry will prove to be as hungry for fossil fuel power as some predict. First, advances in AI technology could drive energy consumption down. Concerns are emerging that the technology may not fully live up to the hype, at least from investors’ standpoints, with Alibaba Group chairman Joe Tsai telling a Hong Kong investment summit in March that data construction may have already reached “the beginning of some kind of bubble.” Plus, the Trump tariffs have injected extraordinary levels of uncertainty into global markets, leaving some experts wondering if the upheaval could derail an AI boom.

Rupert, Lachlan and their allies are trying to do that in the Nevada courts currently. But the first lawsuit ended with a judgement that upheld the rights of the three liberal children. He is now preparing to appeal that. However, if I remember correctly, the entire arrangement only applies if Rupert Murdoch dies before 2030 (or so), so if he lives longer than that, he may be able to arrange his legacy in whatever way he desires.

Control over Rupert Murdoch’s media empire will probably pass to four of his children, with equal voting rights for all of them. Only one of them (Lachlan) is as right-wing as he is. The other three are comparatively liberal, e.g. they consider man-made climate change a threat.

People with your attitude are a significant reason why people decide against Linux. It’s doing Microsoft a service.
