It's kind of amazing how similar this looks to a joke system my brother came up with in 2005: https://paradies.jeena.net/gourmetica-mentiri/2005/11/sysham...


Then they are also not responsible enough to work at the office, you can't pay a nanny who sith with them and tells them to keep working 8 hours a day at the office anyway. Those people need to be let go because you can't trust them.


Actually, having people at the office often works like peer pressure in that people at least pretend to work around their co-workers. Something which doesn't exist at home.


This is exactly my experience too.


Bullshit. When I'm in the office most of my time is spent on making sure it looks like I'm working and obsessing about if someone is standing/sitting behind me and looking at my screen or not, because I'm in a panopticum. There is no time for deep work.


In 2004 https://paradies.jeena.net/weblog/2004/apr/ersteintrag I started my blog in German. I have a migration background (at 11 years old from Poland to Germany) and that made so I would do a lot of spelling mistakes when writing, even though I could express myself fairly OK. Writing a blog was a way for me to get better at it, and I would encourage my readers to tell me when they found something odd.

Because I moved to Sweden just about a year later, I started a new blog https://jeena.net/something-new where I would write in English, because I thought then both the people from Germany (to a lesser extend) and the people I know in Sweden would be able to read my blog.

It was a good decision to switch to English (which back then I didn't speak fluently at all, but writing was ok), because 5 Years ago I again moved countries, now I'm in South Korea and am still blogging in English.

It definitely helped me to learn English, which now is my main language at work and at home.


Blogs have been good for minority languages. At one point most of the best sites in Gaelic were blogs.


What's missing from the launcher available on Linux? I've been using it for many years, but I have never used in on Windows.


There are two editions: Java and Bedrock. Bedrock is the one that's got Realms, which is the easy way to get servers running.

Have this problem with my brother and nephew, would love to get the lad on Linux, but this is a real obstacle.


Java edition can also use Realms. I'm playing on a realm using Linux Java edition and the official launcher now.


Oh aye? I'll have a look into that, cheers. Totally had it in my head that was a blocker.


I'm using MS Office for Work in the browser. But I just live with the shortcomings specifically in PowerPoint where I can't do connectors for example.


She only uses that laptop for MS Office. She did actually use the browser version for a few months, but even that is a significant downgrade compared to native apps.

MS Office and most popular multiplayer games are the 2 biggest hurdles for Linux adoption at the moment.


Many creators would like to abandon Windows completely, bud Adobe...


I tried using Office on the web for a bit, for some reason there's absolutely no way to disable auto-capitalization on the web, luckily I almost never need to use it anyway, and have LibreOffice and Google Workspace instead.


The Linux client is terrible.

But that is why I for work stuff use Chromium and I didn't really have issues with it. The things in this list:

System notifications - works with Chromium

System tray integration (badge support varies by desktop environment) - I don't have a system tray on Hyprland with waybar

Custom backgrounds & themes - ok, I never needed it but that is probably the only thing which is not working in Chromium

Screen sharing support - Always worked, as long as you allow it

Multiple account profiles - I'm doing that with different Chromium profiles, but yeah it kind of would be nice if it was possible in one window, so that seems also cool

But for those two features it seems it's more hassle to deal with a unofficial version.


I was hoping iPhone Pocket was a new iPhone mini which fits into any pocket, even the ones women have on their clothes.


Actually that is what my doctor told me to do, this seems standard procedure to measure twice every time with 1-2 minutes in between.
