  • SaaSS (service as a software substitute) bullshit

    It is common for SaaSS dis-services to charge a monthly fee for use. Usually one SaaSS site does not substitute for another, so if users become unhappy with one dis-service provider it is no easy matter to switch to another. When users become dependent on one, it can gouge them at will with repeated small price increases that over time add up to a lot. We view the loss of freedom inherent in SaaSS as worse than the cost in money, but when a dis-service has you over a barrel, the cost can be painful. Thus, even users who don't see deeper than the bottom line should beware of SaaSS.

    Businesses should host their own servers.

  • I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

    It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.

  • You're not really convincing anyone.

    Like 90% of everyone here already uses Linux, and those who do use Windows only use it because they are forced to because of work or some proprietary program that Linux doesn't currently have.

  • Just as a minor correction - Librecalc can do tables. Why they didn't call it tables and bind it to CTRL&T is beyond me though. link

    select the cells -> Data -> AutoFilter

    I create them with CTRL&T through the custom shortcuts in options. They work about the same as Excel.

    Librecalc is a little rough, but I'm actually starting to find it superior in functionality and customization compared to MS. And it's about 10x faster on very large spreadsheets for me.

    I would also definitely recommend using use dark mode if you're going to use calc. Options -> Application Colors -> LibreOffice Dark

    SpaceX has stated that Starship, in its "baseline reuseable design", will have a payload capacity of 100–150 t (220,000–331,000 lb)

  • Elon Musk Bought Twitter to Settle His Jet-Tracking Beef, New Book Claims

    Jump

  • As much as I personally dislike Musk, Starship does not belong on that list. It is the largest and most powerful space vehicle humanity has ever launched successfully and landed! It is re-usable and can potentially carry up to 100 people or 300,000 lbs of cargo.

    Nothing like that has ever been done before, and the advancements in science that will follow humanities expansion into space cannot be overstated.

  • Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge

  • because it has the potential to be sustainable, cheaper, and less explosive. It's not technically superior as far as energy density goes, but right now batteries are prohibitive in many applications, moreso due to cost than weight.

  • I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It's just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it'll wind up in the trash heap. I don't mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.

  • I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That's the biggest obstacle for me because I've never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.
