I believe it does have HTML preview when using the document preview plugin and with kparts packages installed. When ive used the preview tool i think you can have a split screen view with one half the file and the other the preview, but ive not tested it with html.
I like Kate myself, its a good editor with support for numerous languages, and a decent session system and a range of plugins.
Isn’t Bild a right wing newspaper? Its owned by Axel Springer which recently bought the right wing paper The Telegraph in tbe UK. Pretty sure their plan is to push The Telegraph in the USA as a right wing version of The Guardian or try an match The Daily Mail’s online success.
I dont think its a surprise a right wing newspaper editor is spouting right wing talking points. Its a trash paper for old german biggots, just like The Telegraph is a trash paper for old british biggots.
They are only “weaker” because they are smaller. European cloud services can be just as capable as US ones, it just needs investment to build up the infrastructure.
Too many companies and public institutions in Europe have allowed the US monopolies to get away with their practices here. For example: letting Microsoft bundle so many products into Windows and Office 365 at a loss to build vendor lock in and stifle competition. Letting google push Chrome aggressively to users of other browsers who just want to use their search. Letting Facebook buy Instagram and not regulating the social media monopolies.
These are all choices that reflect the poor state of Europe. We’ve allowed US companies to come in and exploit Europe. That also continues in the EU with companies avoiding tax by basing themselves in Ireland and charging their operations in other countries franchise costs.
Europe tolerated all this because there was an idea that it was balanced out in other ways with the US, and this was what free trade is. Trump has made clear assumptions over all Europes relationship with the US is not equal, and we really need our anti-trust bodies to get back to doing what they used to do to protect European citizens.
Remember when the EU forced Microsoft to give users a choice of web browsers? More recently The EU has done some work on forcing Apple to open it’s appstore / payment system to competition but it’s done next to nothing about Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Windows, Google Search, Google Chrome, or Meta & Twitter/X. I hope European politicians follow their words with actions.
X11 is stable and maintained but not getting new features. It will generally work well for most people but over time it will and is drifting to obsolesence.
Wayland has some flaws but is not basically stable and feature rich enough for most people to use. It is not a complete drop in for X11 and won’t necessairly ever will be but for the vast majorory of desktop users it is.
The problem with Wayland is that there are still issues for people with graphics drivers. Nvidia in particular has had serious issues with it although they are improving.
I personally still use X11 with my KDE set up because i still have problems woth Wayland. Thwyre not as bad as they were but its still not quite stable above for me.
Yes, I was shocked too. But in 1949 apparently 8.6% of the country was forested; in 2022 it was 24%.
In 2005 they launched the “Greening China” initiative to plant 13 Trillion (yes Trillion with a T) trees in 10 years. They didn’t succeed but in 2021 the People’s Daily claimed 78.1bn trees planted in 40 years Link.
However - China is known for inflating statistics to suit the communist party’s own ends, and the People’s Daily is part of the country’s propaganda system. It’s probably far less than 78bn, and that figure doesn’t count replants and commerically logged trees. But it seems that whatever the figure there really has been a concerted long term reforestation effort in China.
Bizarre comment in my view - I think anyone would regard war as an issue with morality.
Trump posting that bizarre AI image of him as Jesus, referring to himself during Easter as being king like and like Jesus, and then attacking the Pope is just ridiculous.
I’m not religious but I was raised Catholic and I know that the pontiff is regarded as the supreme voice of the Catholic Church (the concept of “papal supremacy”). So for Trump to attack the Pope and JD Vance to double down is basically an attack on Catholics. And for the republicans and Trump, Christian voters are a significant part of their voter base.
Attacking the Pope may ironically play well in some other parts of his Christian base. However even outside the catholic part of his base, Trump portraying himself as a god or Jesus like character will be repugnant and very difficult to role back from.
Trump is looking very weak and irrational over Iran, then posting bizarre imagery as him as a god and attacking the Pope. I thing it’s pretty clear he is off his rocker, potentially even showing signs of advanced dementia because this is way above even his background level of crazy over the past 15 years. And Vance is looking increasingly like an idiot - defending the indefensible, doing bad jobs over things like the Iran negotiations, and going to Hungary to interfere in an election campaign.
I don’t know if Trump will make it to the end of his presidency. But regardless Vance may have hoped he was in the best position for the 2028 presidential election as Trump’s deputy. Instead I think he’s stuck trying to be loyal to Trump while Trump sets everything on fire - his base, the USA and even the American Empire.
Yeah it makes no sense; he literally posted something as bad as this:
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
We don’t need a fake variant of it.
Just keep the cookies on the counter top?
They will never learn because they make Windows for Microsoft not for users. They do whatever suits them and they think will maximises profitability and their share price. They have to keep “growing” so they have to find new ways to make money.
As for the article; what shill bullshit is this?
It probably makes sense for a lot of users to have their default browser of choice open automatically at login, as most people spend the majority of their time in a web browser. Windows already automatically preloads Edge in the background by default to increase its startup performance, so it’s not a huge leap to automatically display the app itself if Windows knows you’re going to open it anyway.
No, it does not make sense to do this. Apps can be set to auto launch if users want them to. This only makes sense from the perspective of Microsoft trying to push Edge onto user so it can grow it’s market share and harvest even more data.
Yeah, could also have two Pi-Hole instances. One is network wide and block ads for everyone, and the other is the DNS the kids PCs use, set with a white list of approved sites only. You can set Pi-hole to block everything (set * as the a RegEx filter) and then add domains to the white list to be allowed through.
Groups is probably more efficient but two instances could be offer more options/nuance on how you run things.
About what? WW2 or the IRA bombing campaign or the 7 July 2005 islamic bombings?
There is an extensive list of terror attacks on London on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_London Which one do we not “shut the fuck up” about?
They not sacking the Krafton CEO who used ChatGPT to strategise how to cheat the devs out of their money, overruled his legal team and has embarrassed the company?
Comics are just like soap operas - when you run for so long you have to try every permutation of every story. Including “time travel to kill mom, pose as social worker and raise barry as his own son”. Probably twice.
That’s great! Here’s a few tips to take it a bit further; the world is your oyster!
Open your .bashrc file (e.g. /home/yourusername/.bashrc) and add the following:
alias get="/path/to/your/bash/file"
Now open a terminal and type get, and it’ll launch the script. No clicking needed, it’ll run anytime from any terminal!
And if you do use the alias then you can use another refinement, you can drop the echo: instead of $a, you can use $1 and remove the echo & read as you no longer need them:
Now for example you can type in a terminal:
get http://url.to.video/
And yt-dlp will do it’s stuff. $1 passes the first parameter after starting the script as a variable to it.
You can use the keyboard shortcut Control+shift+v to paste a URL into the terminal, no mouse needed; just remember to add a space after typing get
Miracast (e.g. vis Miraclecast on linux) is a wireless standard for streaming video and audio from one device to another however this is not quite what youre talking about. Miracast basically runs the video on your phone and uses a remote device as a display via wifi. Chromecast actually mostly sends a link to a google device and then launches it on the device to play; there isnt a direct replacement to that. You could run Chrome or Chromium and cast to the browser but im not sure it’d work like a chromecaat device running the video locally.
I have a living room linux PC and I generally use Firefox on my phone and the PC to send links/tabs via firefox sync.
In addition KDE Connect (app on phone and also running on your linux PC) allows you to interact with your PC directly via your phone. You can send files back and forth, but also control media, share the clipboard, and send URLs from your phone to your PC to open in your default browser. This should work for Youtube and Netflix etc.
I personally usually send a tab to my firefox browser via firefox sync, but you could also share link instead via android share to the KDE connect app which will send it to your device and it should open in you’re default browser.
Also fyi KDE Connect doesnt need KDE to work - it works with any desktop environment.
Holy shit. Less than 1% of households. This is not normal for the vast vast majority of people.
Get out and get out fast. Get your personal documents together (birth certificate, passport) and leave.
Its going to be hard and scary at first, but the world outside your family home is far safer than the one inside it.
This is a wierd article. It was originally Googles fault, then it was AI and google is now sponsering the project?
Google pixel phones are crap. I had to get rid kf my 6a because of a dangerou battery.
O dont have an alternative to offer as I bought the fairphone 6 (which im very happy with). Hooefully they will expand beyond Europe soon. They’ve just started selling their ear buds in the USA via a partner company for example.
Yes you can do loads with your Raspberry Pi. Certainly you can install ARM based linux distros onto it, but with an older model you’re best using a Pi specific linux distro.
The official Raspberry Pi OS is linux and is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models - there is a universal 32bit version and a 64bit version for newer models 3+.
There is also Dietpi which tries to be more lightweight and optimised.
You can image either distro onto an SD card and run it on the Pi. If you connect the pi to your network you can run it headless and access it via SSH on your PC.
However, if you main aim is to learn and play with Linux, then it is worth considering alternatives. For example, you could install VirtualBox on your Windows PC, and create a virtual PC to run any X86 linux distro you’d like on it. That can include small systems with command line only or a full desktop environment of your choice. That would likely give you much higher performance and options than a 10 year old raspberry pi can offer.
The Pi is good if you want an always on server device to play with Linux on. The Virtual machine route is good if you want a more powerful system to play with occasionally when you feel like it.
The XP device is a major security risk because its got known security vulnerabilities that are not patched and actively targetted. Its targetted because hackefs know there are bad businesses and users still running xp.
The issue is less your firewall and instead your whole network. If XP has internet access and is on your home network, it gives hackers and malware a route through to your other devices.
If you want to connect XP to the internet then there are two realistic options.
One is give the XP machine its own isolated network alongside your home network - a VLAN (virtual local area network) - i.e. a second physical network if your router supports it. One easy way of doing that is to see if your router has a Guest Wifi set up, and if so ensure that is configured to be entirely separate from your main network. But this is still risky because if you dont know what youre doing you could accidentally leave your network exposed. Also if you already use the guest network - for guests for example - then you’ll put those devices at risk, and should make a whole dedocated vlan instead.
The other option is get a second router, create a wifi with that (or ethernet connection ideally) and connect that router to the internet via an always on VPN (virtual private network). The second router and network would completely physically isolates the XP machine from your home network, even though it needs to connect through your first router to reach fhe internet. The VPN is key there, but if you dont want to use a VPN you could also isolate the second in a VLAN on your main router. This is similar to option one but would allow a totally separate dedicated wifi connection without losing your guest wifi or compromising your home wifi.
The XP machine itself will always be vulnerable whatever you do. Obviously configure a firewall and antivirus on it, and be safe in how you use it, to minimize the risk.
Whatever you do, do not connect rhe XP machine directly to your home network if you’re giving it access out onto the internet.
Edit: I may have misubderstood the question. If the device is not being allowed internet access at all, its safe to be on your network as long as you are careful what you load onto it. Malware on the XP device would still have access to your network. But yes if its contained behind your firewall and locked in, its not a problem in itself. I’d question why it needs to be on the network at all if you’re not giving it internet access though.
