  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • Daily usage? I have some audio issues. It "feels" like the whatever resets/reinitializes. Really quickly though, playback isn't being interrupted. Sometimes it switches to a dead output channel though and I have to reset it to the actually connected output. Too lazy to diagnose it.

    As a longer standing point of annoyance, I find it very difficult to quickly go UI -> package name -> bug tracker -> bug report. For understandable reasons devs don't exactly advertise their bug trackers, they're always a bit obfuscated and have some barriers.

    Color management continues to not work correctly, although that may be due to some x11 wayland conflict. I have a dark color theme preference and certain applications that aren't directly available as package, but e.g. via flatpack don't integrate well. Gnome calendar is something I can name, without wanting to blame the devs of that piece of software in particular. They're doing their best, it's not a priority, maybe not even an issue on their preferred config.

    I also have some freeze crashes, although that's more recent, might be a harddrive/hardware issue that throws off something very low level. But the reboot is so quick I barely mind that.

  • Why are programmers so rude to beginners?

    Jump

  • In short, this is a social faux pas that you didn't know about, because you're new to asking questions online.

    And as you can see from the existence of that wikihow page: it's a common problem and you are not the first or the last to run into this. Sorry.

    https://www.wikihow.com/Ask-a-Question-on-the-Internet-and-Get-It-Answered

    Learn the culture of the forum. Every community on the internet has its own style and set of rules (both written and unwritten). Spend some time reading through other posts before making your own. This will help you learn the etiquette for that specific forum. Knowing how to ask your question in a way that fits in with that culture can really help you get the answers you need.

    Make your title a succinct version of your question.

    Go into detail in the body of the message. After writing the title, explain the details in the body. List specific problems and what you have tried so far.

    Describing what you have tried so far, is extremely important.

    Writing it out can make you go through the thinking steps necessary and you will answer your own question in the process of asking it. That's so common it's called "rubber ducking". Everyone does it. But if you don't do the writing, people can be cross because you're asking a question you didn't need to ask.

    Keep an open mind. There's a chance that you won't like the answer you receive. There's also a chance that the answer that you don't like is the only available option. Make sure to keep an open mind about your responses, and try to avoid getting defensive.

    Don't give up. If you don't receive any responses, or the responses are not satisfactory, take some time to examine your question. Was it specific enough? Did you ask too many questions? Was the answer easily obtained through a web search? Is the question even answerable? Rework your question and ask it again, either in the same place or a new one. Never believe that you are entitled to an answer. Responders volunteer their time to help out other users. No one owes you an answer, so you should avoid acting like they do.

    There are different kinds of communities that have different levels of professionalism and question asking culture. You picked one at random at the wrong level.

    I promise you not every community online is like that. Try a different one.

    And also, you didn't do your research for this question either. Or you could have found the wikihow page. 😜

    Es gibt keine ordentlichen Pläne damit umzugehen und jetzt gucken sich alle um. Bringt endlich mal Bewegung.

  • How do you build revolutionary optimism in these dark times?

    Jump

  • The fediverse is a good example. There are performance improvements happening at the language level, so even old code runs faster. More essential services are online, online banking isn't weird and niche anymore. We have so many different messengers to choose from, it's no longer just skype that can do video calls.

    Did you know we have reproducible builds now? https://reproducible-builds.org/

    For a long time, you could make software from one piece of code and you got working software, but it wasn't guaranteed to be identical. That made security and verification a lot harder, because you need to check for behavior instead of just comparing a check value. Now we can just compare the check value.

    There are things like better testing and CI/CD pipelines now. We can measure that stuff. More projects have moved to git.

    The micro computing sphere is very mature now, you can just buy a raspi or a comparable device and do home automation projects with them.

    The only area where things are still messy is some areas of web technologies, because they're constantly being rewritten.

  • There are still many things happening that are objectively improving. You just have to look a bit harder.

    One definitive field is software. It continues to get faster and better and more reliable.

    It's not the way I wanted it to happen (my country fucked it's industry), but China understood the issue with transition to green energy and built so much production capacity for solar and wind energy, solar energy is properly exploding. Exports to Africa increased by 500% in the past 5 years. https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/the-first-evidence-of-a-take-off-in-solar-in-africa/

  • Bundesregierung unterzeichnet Pflegekräfte-Abkommen mit Indien

    Jump

  • Das wäre gar nicht so schlecht, wenn es funktionieren würde. Ich glaube aber nicht das das funktioniert.

    Hauptsächlich weil die Konstellation eigentlich schon möglich wäre, also, Angebot von Arbeitsvertrag + Ausbildung, bewirbt man in Indien, schließt den Arbeitsvertrag -> reguläre Einwanderung.

    Die Frage ist deswegen, was findet da statt, was das jetzt verbessern soll. Meine Wette ist, es wird Geld gezahlt für Sparchkurse und Ausbildung die zu 80%+ nicht funktioniert. Aber es wird mit Steuergeld gemacht, nicht mit dem Geld der Firmen / Krankenhäuser / Krankenkassen. Deswegen werden die trotz eigentlich steigender Kosten trotzdem weiter profitabel bleiben. Wie groß die Quote derer ist die tatsächlich an einen guten Kurs kommen und dann einwandern und gute Arbeit machen wäre dann egal.

  • How to vote?

    Jump

  • You are supposed to upvote things that:

    • you like
    • belong in the community it's posted in
    • upvoting favors it for the algorithm, ranking it higher and making it stay longer. If you want others to see the stuff, you upvote.

    With comments, you are supposed to upvote things that contribute to the discussion, even if you disagree with it, but in practice people often just upvote what they like and agree with and downvote what they don't agree with and there is pretty much nothing anyone can do to change that. So do what you think is right.

  • Stammt das Bekennerschreiben aus Russland?

    Jump

  • Wie man das schützt ist einfach eine Abwägungsfrage. Wenn wir sagen das das zu kompliziert und zu teuer ist, kommen halt Leute an und sabotieren es. Die Kosten für den Aufwand müssen wir tragen das ist richtig, aber dann haben wir im Ergebnis halt ein System was schwerer sabotiert werden kann.

    Das muss man, also z.b. du, entscheiden was dir lieber ist: manchmal halt Sabotage, oder der Aufwand.

    Ganz konkret und realwirtschaftlich werden wir sehen was für Frostschäden an den Gebäuden in den betroffenen Gebieten entstanden ist. Da hätten die Eigentümer wahrscheinlich lieber 10 Euro mehr für Objektschutz an kritischen Punkten gezahlt, über Steuern, als einmal zerstörte Heizleitungen auszutauschen.

    Erhalt von Infrastruktur kostet halt einfach Geld. Wenn man Eigentum hat, wie ein Haus, und sich nicht ausreichend drum kümmert, über Reparatur und Wartung geht es halt kaputt.

    Was die Praxis Frage angeht ist es das gleiche: Wenn eine lokale Gegebenheit verhindert das man es ordentlich macht, kann man ja umbauen. Vielleicht keine gute Idee Starkstromkabel überirdisch zu verlegen wo man einfach dran kommt. "Ja unterirdisch verlegen ist so teuer". Ja. Tja.

  • as a young person, what must one look for when it comes to finding a new country to live in?

    Jump

  • To enter, you need a visa. They're timed permits to enter countries for a specific purpose.

    There are travel visas for a short time and there are work visas that are longer time and allow you to work. (you are not allowed to work with just a travel visa).

    Then the process is different per country. The next step is "residency" and then the next is applying for citizenship. Each country has different conditions for when that's possible and how quickly.

    As a rule of thumb, if you can get a stable job, or you're rich they usually let you in and let you stay. Sometimes there are special recruitment programs that you can look up at the local embassy or under search terms such as "migrating to [country]". Those that are looking for immigration usually advertise the ways to do it.

  • Ich sehe es im Gegensatz zu der Pipeline Sprengung gut das die offensichtliche Meinungsverschiedenheit und Mutmaßung in den Zeitungen reflektiert wird.

    Hier ist es noch weniger wichtig als bei der Pipeline. Der Kram muss geschützt werden und er muss schnell reparierbar sein.

    Ob für ein Problem ein linksextremer Deutscher, ein russischer Agent oder ein Naturereignis verantwortlich ist, ist aus der Perspektive egal.
