Ask them if they can give you their phone so you can check on what they’re doing online and on their phone right now. Because, why would they trust a large company more than a good friend?

Edge cases are not the norm, though.

“So, you leave your door open because locking it is useless because someone can break in?“

I brush my teeth the German way:

Wenns dir rein ums Routing geht, schau dir mal Organic Maps an. Da lädst du dir die gewünschten Kartendaten aufs Handy runter, und das Tool routet dann offline auf diesen Katen.

Das ist so lange kostenlos, wie du die kostenpflichtigen Features nicht nutzt, oder akzeptierst, dass diese bei der F-Droid-Version einfach fehlen.

“Mach das bloß nicht nach!”

This is why no-one in the right mind uses Sylpheed, but the actively maintained fork Claws Mail (which just recently had a new version released).

It’s never Lupus.

SUVs wären super, wenn der SU-Teil auch tatsächlich genutzt werden würde. Stattdessen fahren die Leute mit grotesk proportionierten Riesen-Autos die statt Heckscheiben nur noch schmale Sehschlitze haben durch enge Gassen auf noch viel engere Parkplätze in der Innenstadt.

Alles Verräter.

Berufspolitiker halt.

Maybe you can set it up for them? It’s really the easiest way + it does not cost anything that’s not paid for already anyways (electricity and an Internet connection).

Navigating a combination of the distro’s native package manager (apt, pacman, rpm, whatever), snap, flatpack and still having to set up the maintainers’ custom repositories to get stuff that’s even remotely up-to-date somehow

This sounds like a you problem, to be honest. If you want the most up-to-date software, just use a distribution that updates very often or uses a rolling-release concept.

The different UI toolkits, desktop environment, window manager and compositor seem to be fighting each other.

If you use one of them, not that much. If you start mixing them it becomes a huge mess. At one point in time I had Ubuntu installed, running Gnome, but having Openbox as window manager set. It was an absolute mess. Nowadays I think it’s even more of a mess, especially with gnome and this stupid Adwaita library with the stupid CSM.

But I happily ran pure Openbox on X11 for a decade and run labwc on Wayland since ca. 2 years now.

I do a lot of .NET programming and photo editing. I could probably replace VS with VScode or Ryder but it’s an additional hurdle. For photo editing, I haven’t found a single thing that fits my workflow the way Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop do.

Then stick with Windows. Or run this software in VM with GPU pass-through and KVM. I really don’t see an issue here. Use the tool that best fits your needs.

Heise Online von damals hat nichts mehr mit dem zu tun, was da heute unter der Domain zu finden ist.

Da hat der geisteskranke Tech-Milliardär wohl seine Bots losgeschickt und dachte, es fällt nicht auf.

There will always be this one asshole of a coworker who happily name-dropping you in a conference call with the project owner.

Das einzige das etwas bringen würde, wäre eine Widerspruchsregelung. Die Menschen sind faul und desinteressiert, warum sollten sie sich einen Organspendeausweis holen oder in ein Onlineregister eintragen? Ist ja Aufwand.

They are the worlds laziest coders and google paid them 20M a year to do nothing for…

Only a fraction of a fraction of this is actually used in relation to the browser, and only a fraction of this goes to the actual coders/developers.

I am sure the devs do the best work they can do and are allowed to do. This is entirely a management issue.
