A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.

There was criticism at the time, but the people who had to work with it every day. welcomed it after a very short time. The end of the Limux project happened all by itself, because Munich's mayor is an MS fan boy and said so openly at the time. It was not because of technical problems or anything else. It was just a huge kindergarten child.

Sachsen: Immer mehr rechtsradikale Gewalt, Opferberater warnen vor »rechter Raumnahme«

Das gravierendste ist doch der Schutz der Rechten durch die Polizei die selbst von Rechten unterwandert ist. Da so vieles nicht in die Statistiken kommt oder anders deklariert wird. Bei Ausländern kommt dagegen alles in die Statistiken und wird richtig ausgeschlachtet. So verbreitet man flächendeckend Fremdenhass.

Edit: Itiotentreff durch den ganzen Mist der passiert schon gar nicht mehr dran gedacht. PS: Der Verlauf ist ziemlich hart.

The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame.

People have the wrong ideas. Steam Deck LCD was a pure test object anyway, where they saw that there was a market, which is why Valve also released the Oled version. Valve has left the hardware open so that you can also install other OS. Valve may also see competition there, even if the competition releases more powerful hardware. Valve's hardware is still secondary and steam, which is installed everywhere, is still their core product. The better hardware the competition brings, the more power-hungry games people will buy.

Steam Deck vs .... is just nonsense.

The Enshittification of 3D Printers – Are We Losing What Made Them Great?

Reply in thread

The problem is people's stinginess. They want to save money and buy from China. The manufacturers help themselves to the OSS community but do not contribute anything - on the contrary, the manufacturers undercut the OSS alternatives enormously. They have no development costs or anything else to compensate. So that the OSS solutions do not finance the development for other companies and push themselves out of the market, the only option is to lock it in. It's the people who want to get into an expensive hobby on the cheap.

Edit: example about developing stats.

PrusaSlicer

PrusaSlicer is our own open-source in-house developed slicer software. The PrusaSlicer team consists of 13 full time developers. As of January 2024, we spent a total of 145,720 work hours developing PrusaSlicer (that’s over 16 years of non-stop work by one developer). While only about 10% of the original code remains, we are still extremely proud that PrusaSlicer is originally based on the open-source project Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci. Each of the source files has a short header with the list of all contributors. We believe this is the right way to acknowledge whose shoulders we're standing upon.

PrusaSlicer is a completely free, feature-rich, frequently updated tool that contains everything you need to export the perfect G-code for your 3D printer. Today, the PrusaSlicer code powers most slicers on the market.

US House Republicans vote against blocking ICE from deporting US citizens

Reply in thread

Not forgetting the non-voters who only vent their frustration on social media. Or with their ridiculous useless peaceful protests. Just watching democracy being dismantled and only blaming the other side... by doing nothing you are 100% responsible. Finally start riots while it's still possible.

You call MAGA stupid... yet you seem to know the German history and still only peaceful protests come at most... The technique of suppression is so much more advanced... Drones etc are a dream... but just keep watching... Germany only made it out with the help of 2 world powers. Nobody can help you later!

America is currently waiting and sleeping through the time when a civil war or attacking the terrorists is possible. Germany would never have escaped the clutches of the Nazis without outside help. The stupid thing about a world power, however, is that once it has reached this status, nothing helps. Technology is now so advanced that it is no longer a problem.

Greenland visit cancelled after locals refuse to welcome Usha Vance

Moment "American representatives were seen in the city", were they outside the base? That would have been the moment to do to the Americans what they do to the tourists and have them arrested directly... Legally that shouldn't be a problem, after all it's a matter of national security, and there have already been more than enough hostile statements and indirect announcements of war.
