Last time the FDP was in the Bundestag, they were even part of the governing coalition (the most productive and for the most part most progressive and beneficial for the largest parts of the population Germany ever had) and the reason that coalition failed. And that was not even the first time the FDP blew it. The FDP has no place in our parliaments. They are neither better nor worse than AFD or BSW, they’re just bad in a different way.
Doch, haben sie. Indirekt, aber wenn man eine Partei wählt, weiß man, welche Spitzenkandidat*innen diese Partei ins Amt hieven will.
Kommt das nicht ein paar Jahre zu spät?
It’s not that easy. Because that shit comes back, usually with the next update.
I’ve prepared windows machines in a B2B IT support firm for our customers. Over very few years it became very quickly progressively harder to install windows without a network connection, set up local user accounts, debloat everything, etc.
We even had customer’s employees paying us money to untangle their private machines from that MS BS, and it took us a few hours per device.
And don’t get me started on “I saved a file to OneDrive but can’t find it there”. That happened often and wasn’t always user error (like, 50/50)
Also, let’s be real here. This is not a problem for the vast vast majority of users.
Yes it is. Whether they realize it or just think it would be more of a hassle to solve it and instead just roll with it is another thing.
Leider ist das kein Fasching-exklusives Phänomen, das gibts bei jeder (relativ zur ansässigen Bevölkerungsgruppe) halbwegs größeren Festgelegenheit. Oft genug reichen da schon Fußballspiele als Auslöser.
If I want to maintain my Windows computer, do I need a new computer?
Depends on your SSD size. If you settled for a distro and desktop environment you want to try more long term, you can create another partition on your SSD and install linux there, creating a so-called dual boot. There are many good tutorials on YT how to do that.
If I was already looking for a laptop, do I just buy the cheapest one and reformat? Does Distro utilize Touch Screen?
You can install Linux on any laptop. I run Pop!OS on a Surface Pro 3 tablet, touchscreen works well.
If you want to get a new laptop anyway and are insecure about doing all that partitioning, UEFI, flashing stuff yourself, you can get devices with Linux preinstalled. In the US, theres System76 that come with Pop!OS (an OS based on Ubuntu with System76’s own DE), or in Germany there is Tuxedo with their own (also Ubuntu-based) Tuxedo OS with KDE desktop.
How does one give it a try? Honest question
You can flash a USB drive with an image using Balena or Rufus for example (there are numerous tutorials out there), then insert the USB drive into a port and boot into BIOS/UEFI (depends on your computer how to do that exactly please look it up online), then either set that USB drive to boot priority #1 or (preferrably) use a boot override if your computer is able to do that. Hit Save&Exit and you’ll boot Linux from that drive.
That will boot into a live environment where you can try how everything feels, is handled, just look around. At this point, you did not install everything and no permanent changes are made to your computer (except for maybe boot priority).
This way, you can try out different distros with different desktop environments without installing anything.
Freiwilligkeit macht nen Unterschied.
It is that easy. NextCloud works with LibreOffice, and my first contact with Cryptpad was some vacation planning with online friends and someone set up the pad, sent the link and we were able to work with that stuff instantly.
No more classroom work for me!
I don’t know what your occupation is/will be, but office world is not a lot different from class rooms in many regards xD (I hope you got a more comfortable experience with your coworkers though).
Don’t make it a group discussion. Just say “I’m gonna set up a collab doc later today” and send them the link. It will just be a workable document, nothing fancy and no weird UI you gotta get into.
My guy. It never was about how “easy” it is, it always was about that Microslop tries to push their subscription and cloud BS down our throats in every possible place they could find. From default save locations over forced cloud accounts instead of local user accounts to making it hardly possible to uninstall that shit. It’s not the single instances of BS (not necessarily, that forced cloud accounts to log in to your supposedly own device and gettingbrid of local profiles is in itself a middle finger), it is all ofnit adding up, and the default save location is a small straw braking a long dead camel’s back.
Jo. Ich habe kein Problem damit, mit Menschen über mögliche Problemlösungsstrategien zu diskutieren, wenn wir auch wirklich das gleiche Problem lösen wollen, oder uns zumindest ehrlich einig darüber wersen wollen, wo denn wirklich die Probleme und Ursachen liegen.
Aber mit Menschen zu diskutieren, die ganz andere Vorstellungen haben, was denn tatsächlich Probleme sein könnten, oder denen gar nichts an einer Problemlösung liegt… Nope, da bin ich alleine durch den bloßen Gedanken daran schon wieder halb im nächsten Burnout.
Für die “echten” Bürgergeldempfänger
Die meisten Bürgergeldempfänger*innen arbeiten. Entweder stocken sie auf, weil der Ausbeuterbetrieb, bei dem sie angestellt sind, zu wenig zahlt, oder sind oft in Teilzeit, weil sie Angehörige pflegen oder Kinder erziehen müssen.
finde ich diese Forderung theoretisch sogar als Teil eines umfassenden Rehabilitationsprozesses wichtig - wer > 1 Jahr aus dem Arbeitsprozess raus ist, hat kaum Chancen, wieder rein zu kommen.
Du hast zwar Recht damit, dass viele sich nach langer Arbeitslosigkeit erstmal wieder an einen Standardarbeitstag gewöhnen müssen. Aber dafür dürfte sich die geforderte Maßnahme kaum eignen. Angebrachter wäre es, über einen gewissen Zeitraum (der auch abhängig von der Dauer der vorherigen Arbeitslosigkeit sein sollte) die Tages- und Wochenarbeitszeit Stück für Stück zu erhöhen, ähnlich wie es auch nach einer längeren Krankheit der Fall ist. Dabei kann ja zur Unterstützung weiter Bürgergeld gezahlt werden, damit der AG kein “Vollzeitgehalt an Minijobber” zahlen müsste (so würde das auch kaum ein AG mitmachen) und das Gehalt könnte mit der Arbeitszeit steigen, während das Bürgergeld entsprechend über die Zeit “ausgeschlichen” wird.
Ich hab tatsächlich schon mehrfach drüber nachgedacht, in die Politik zu gehen. Nur leider könnte ich da wahrscheinlich nicht den produktiven Beitrag leisten, den ich gerne erbringen wollen würde, weil mir zu viele Torfköppe wie dieser Ministerpräsident die Arbeit unnötig schwermachen würden.
Was heißt „gut funktionieren“? Ja, das System existiert, ja, ein Teil muss ein Gegenleistung schaffen. Betrug verhindert es nicht signifikant, und die Gegenleistung ist oft wirtschaftlich nicht rentabel.
Nur so aus Neugier und für eigene Argumentationsmittel, hast du dafür ne Quelle?
Back when I was in school (damn does it make me feel old to say “back in my day”) I just had one device and collaboratively working on a presentation meant splitting up the parts and everyone sent what they wanted to have on the slides to the one group member who actually created the presentation (and made sure the format and style of bullet points were coherent) in zipped archives via e-mail. Also, we had to either bring our own laptops to show a presentation (at least the schools had beamers) or print that shit on literal OHP transparencies.
Anyway, there are open source alternatives to Google Docs, OneDrive, etc. You could go the NextCloud route or use Cryptpad, both can be either subscribed to through various platforms or even self hosted.
Just to add to your anecdote and provide some alternatives if someone reading this needed to know.
Apparently, because you do not seem to process what I’m actually saying and keep ripping single issues out of context so you can downplay the whole problem.
One last try, directly delivered to your door, if you don’t get it this time I’ll stop wasting my time.
OneDrive being the default save locationnis just a small symptom of the problem that Microsoft wants you to totally submit to cloud- and subscription-based computing. You are not to own your system anymore, it is just rented, MS does not want you to operate on the local level. The customer is losing control over a system they are more and more depending on in a more and more digitalized world. And it’s not that it is just an option like where you save a file. It gets harder and harder to use a Windows PC without subscription services. You cannot even set up local users without some workaround most users are not educated enough to even find a tutorial for or realize why it is a problem.
See what the fuss is about now?
