  • Interessanterweise ist gerade NRW da eher gespalten? Auch wenn die Karte da nicht so leicht zu lesen ist, scheint es mir, das der Artikel da, wo ich herkomme (östliches Ruhrgebiet), eher unüblich ist ... und das deckt sich auch mit meiner Erfahrung ... kann mich jedenfalls nicht entsinnen, das das da ein eine prominente Eigenschaft ist ...

  • Hmm not sure whether my cutter directly accepts SVG, I have to check ... in fact I'm using Inkscape to assemble everything and then just use the application to generate gcode ... not sure whether I can skip that step because the SVG doesn't contain any info regarding cutting speed, laser power etc ...

  • vapoursynth

    Oh I've never heard about that one ...

    The problem with Davinci I encountered was that very common encodings like x264 or x265 don't work with the community edition and I can't justify getting the pro version from an economic standpoint ...

  • If you don't mind using text-based interaction you could give OpenSCAD a try ... it's like TinkerCAD (solids and holes) but with code ...

    I might be biased here because I'm a programmer by trade but I didn't find it too hard ... also mostly need boxy shapes ... but still, I think it's neat ...

  • My personal top 3:

    Video Editing - Kdenlive isn't bad in and by itself but it seems really slow to work with, and getting any kind of smooth preview seems impossible even with proxy clips ... the other day I bought a GoPro 3D camera, and I can cut, preview, rotate, reframe and encode with their Android app on my potato phone from 2021, and it feels snappy (I was surprised, really). Yet on my i7 laptop with Kdenlive, much simpler tasks feel much more sluggish on average ...

    CAD - I use OpenSCAD for 3D modeling and I love it, but sometimes a GUI-Based CAD program would be nice. I'm sure FreeCAD is powerful but the UI/UX aspect makes it hard to unlock that power. I'm a bit conflicted about it because I really don't want to play down the efforts of the FreeCAD dev team, and it seems like everyone and their mothers talk badly about their UI/UX. But on the other hand I tried a couple times and got really frustrated, and I'm usually not one to shy away from steeper learning curves. Supposedly you can do CAD in Blender but I never really figured that out.

    Laser cutting - While most slicers for 3D printers work on Linux, Lasercutting seems a different story. You can still use older versions of Lightburn but it's not FLOSS and it seems strange to pay for a license if the support for your OS has been discontinued 2 versions ago (or one, not sure right now). I want to give Rayforge (https://rayforge.org/) a try soon but until then it's LaserGRBL or the program that came with my laser cutter on a virtual machine.

    Honorable mention: A linux phone would be nice.

  • Ohje, erinnere mich noch an die Gentoo Stage1 Installation um 2009 oder 2010 ... nach 'nem Jahr oder so war die Overlay-Konfiguration in Portage so kaputt das es wesentlich schneller war, Ubuntu drüberzuinstallieren 😅 ... glaube das habe ich insg. 2x gemacht ... wobei, jetzt wo die Prozessoren schneller sind und das Kompilieren schneller geht, vielleicht wäre es mal wieder 'nen Versuch wert ...

  • I doesn't "need" to be imported, the question is just, where do we see the future of federated (non-)platforms ? Do we want them to be "small and cozy" with a small and fairly narrow selection of content or do we want a non-corporate alternative that can compete in richness and variety of interesting content of all niches?

    A lot of folks only seem to see the crappy part of youtube and other platforms, and don't see the richness of content that exists ther. There's still so much interesting stuff to be found. I don't think there has ever been a bigger archive of, say, documentation about arts, crafts, history, food, than YT, even it its current enshittified form. If that's an ocean of content, the Fediverse isn't even a major river (at least that's my impression).

    If you don't mind that, great. But I do, I'd love a non-corporate version to exist that can compete in terms of richness of content.

    And monetary incentive is part of the puzzle, as it incentivizes people to spend time on it, which in terms generates a bigger audience, which in turn has a higher potential to support a wider range of content niches. Plain and simple.

  • I don't agree, really ... that'd limit the Fediverse to hobbyists.

    It's completely legitimate to look for income & exposure as a creator, whether you're making music, visual art, or document your process making physical objects. Corporate platforms, as crappy as they might be, provide a path to that, and in many ways created viable path for creators to do what they like full-time. Not saying that it's perfect or easy. But the Fediverse is currently no alternative at all ...

    Currently, restricting yourself to the Fediverse as an artist unfortunately means that you're taking quite a hit in terms of exposure you can get. As long as that's the case, and people even defend it, then we really can't complain that the Fediverse isn't attractive for a larger amount of people, and centralized platforms will always have the bigger draw.

    I try to avoid corporate platforms as much as I can, but as a consumer I often feel starved of content. I haven't found any interesting woodworking channels on PeerTube, or guitar repair channels, or whatever else I enjoy watching to wind down.

    And as a creator, well ... it's not my source of income, but I sure would like it to be. And if I ever decide to make that step, I'm pretty sure that I's have to make amends to my "no corporate platforms" approach. The Fediverse doesn't feed you.

  • Hab bisher nur einmal eine Nachtzugreise unternommen, und fand' das zwar spannend aber nicht unbedingt alltagstauglich.

    Das Mini-Kabinen-Konzept klingt da echt vielversprechender.

    Wichtig fänd' ich auch gutes Gepäck-handling, z.B. mit 'nem bewachten Gepäckabteil ... den dicken Koffer in der engen 2er-Kabine zwei Etagen in's Gepäckfach zu hieven, war schon ein ganz schöner Akt ...

  • Man sollte nur nicht den Fehler machen, im Arch Forum Fragen zu anderen Arch-basierten Distros zu stellen ... hab' ich gehört ... aber ja, das Wiki ist schon sehr gut ...

  • Same situation, more or less ... but I honestly don't remember anyone meeting their grim fate the way you described ... you'd see people with a cast here and there (I got mine in gym class, of all locations), but I think all kids in my extended social groups made it to adulthood without major, life-altering physical damage ...

  • Da zeigt sich ein Generationen-Unterschied, ich hab' noch mit vereinfachter Ausgangsschreibschrift angefangen, und bin dann nach und nach zu einer Mischform übergegangen ... lesbar war das nie, musste manchmal Schreibproben abliefern, damit das Lehrpersonal überhaupt entscheiden konnte, ob etwas ein Fehler war oder nicht.

    Heute, da ich 99% der Zeit tippe, merke ich, wie langsam ich mit der Hand schreibe ... ist echt anstrengend geworden.

  • How?

  • I gladly accept the fossil label, but there's no contrarian sentiment behind it ... I just never felt any pain staying with X11.

    Also, the window manager I use is developed by a friend who lives 10min away and texts me every time he has an update, and I love it ... doesn't work on Wayland, though ...

  • Dunno, as a German, I'd find it ahistorical if everybody was using "Deutschland" ... the nation-state as an idea, and a unified nation state, are relatively young. Before that, what we call Deutschland today was a mess. It's no surprise that romance languages use some or another variation of "Allemagne" ... the german dialect spoken around the southwestern border is still called "Allemannisch" even in Germany, same with "Saxon" and the variations "Saksa" to the east ...

    I kinda prefer it the way it is in this case, honestly ...

  • Hmm I've been a coffee geek and bicycle nerd (hobby mechanic) since my teenage years, and ran a half-marathon in my mid 20ies ... guess I've been 40 for a long time now ...

  • Danke für diese großartige Zusammenfassung :)

  • Ich glaube die Wirkung von Kaffee variiert doch stark von Mensch zu Mensch, von daher glaube ich das das alles recht weit hergeholt ist.

    Im Vergleich zu anderen Faktoren (wirtschaftlicher Druck, Zukunftsängste, Klimekatastrophe usw) zu vernachlässigen, würde ich vermuten.

    (einzelner) Datenpunkt: Als sich die Gesellschaft zu Zeiten der Weimarer Republik gespalten hat, war das noch unter dem Eindruck der Weltwirtschaftskrise, als Kaffee ein teures Luxusgut war ...
