Also extremely useful to know, and a good idea. Universal blue is Fedora though right? How does that do on older desktops compared to Debian based systems?

He forgot how to use email. Once on the phone, after he finally figured out how to see my video call (he couldn’t figure out how to start his) I walked him through step by step on trying to just get rust desk - which is in the Ubuntu repository already - installed, and failed at that.
Not only to him, but to a lot of elderly people, software is essentially magic. They don’t even quite understand the concept of “installing”. It took me awhile of explaining, with pictures and such, that a Google search isn’t run by people bringing up the information you’re looking for.
That’s why I’ve already typed and printed detailed step by step instructions on just the installation process for the OS, so that he can follow that. He does a lot better with physical mediums, like paper, USB, and so on. He even managed to install an SSD (with my direct in person supervision) and kind of understand what that was.
But software? Magic essentially.
This might be exactly what I need. I will definitely be trying it first thing tomorrow
Yup, problem is I’m now too far to set that up. I’m about an 18 hour flight away, assuming small layovers.
He had LTS, but that was 8 years ago.
The neighbors wouldn’t work, since on one side is an empty house and the other has also very tech illiterate people (and in the case of the parents of the neighbors, actually fully illiterate).
I like the idea to have though for the future
I’m in another country, how would I install it while also updating his OS?
Noob, not even using bayesian probability to determine if certs dice rolls should be done /s
It would probably help if you didn’t have to buy the floor every dang time
The USA also has a low unemployment rate. I used to live there. I already know what it’s like to live in a place with essentially indentured servitude. It’s fucking pointless to make money if it doesn’t cover food and rent even.
If you like having an economy like that, go for it. I don’t live in shitty places like that anymore. There’s a reason Finnish people go to Greece often for vacation - because we can actually have vacations, and because clearly people don’t make much and that’s why it’s so cheap.
Fix your damn worker rights already.
Pointless if you’re barely getting paid though
By that logic probably shouldn’t use a search engine and you should go to a library to look things up manually in a book, like I did.
Keeping Hungary in the EU at this point is almost as bad as having Belarus.
Or maybe equally so.
There’s still exceptions.
For example, Spanish is my first language. I didn’t really care for it much, but the more I learned other languages the more I’ve come to really like Spanish because it has well defined rules and a LACK of EXCEPTIONS (looking at Finnish specifically. English at least is so broken you can understand it when grammatically wrong, but Finnish clearly needs a revision).
What’s the point of learning the grammar rules when 25% is “actually there’s no reason behind this word not following the rules so you’ll just have to remember it’s different”??? Even more frustrating when the rules can still perfectly work with covering the topic or the word! To the point of you can say it “wrong” by following existing grammar rules but still be understood sometimes because it makes more sense than the damn actual usage of the word!
And then some rules are dumb. Either go full out like Chinese and make a writing system separate from your spoken system or actually have one comply with the other.
Nah, fossil fuels are the most expensive energy there is, hands down.
Climate change isn’t cheap.
Paying a tax to help prevent that is much better than dealing with it. Solar and wind should get subsidies too. Treating climate change like it’s a capitalist rather than a socialist won’t solve it.
Oh dang didn’t see China perform this year. Mr. Sanchez works fast.
Ok but like, Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 edition + DLC is going to be 1mb smaller than the Switch 1 version without the DLC
I didn’t mention free speech, and this was about the comm, not the country, in particular.
Where did I say posts about the middle-east are not allowed here if they are in relation to Europe?
Literally this whole discussion is happening under the premise that discussion on Palestine is restricted.
when creating this community there was absolutly no reason to avoid feddit.org as the hosting instance over legal concerns specifically related to the state of Israel.
Yes, and I’ve stated, if legal concerns are so troubling there needs to be censorship on the topic, moving to a different instance outside of Germany would make more sense, assuming the moderation and administration team cared about the censorship about an ongoing genocide of which multiple European countries’ governments are partaking in. Other large communities have changed instances as well successfully.
I, and I imagine many others, would have also understood if such restrictions were in place until such a move could occur. Instead, it’s clear the decision was made to defer to an unjust and unethical law.
No, since with “black lives matter” (which I think could have used a better name anyway, like Black Lives Also Matter, which has the nice acronym of BLAM), it isn’t the oppressing group.
In the case with Israel and Palestine, Israel is very very much the oppressive group, currently conducting a genocide, a claim backed by multiple researchers and experts in the field.
I imagine if a Chinese company far away can pull all this off for so long without getting caught, the entire close by Russian government could do much, much more.
