I really miss Microsoft AD configuration GUI.

Wait, no, that sort of group you have to make through Entra, formerly Azure admin center, wait no they actually wanted a SharePoint site for the group, wait no you can’t do that through entra even though you can see the groups, you have to do that through O365 admin center, wait no you can only make a SharePoint aaand teams group there, you have to click more -> SharePoint admin center and then create a new group there, but not the default, you have to click “show more group types”, but where can you modify the members of this group? Oh you can just go back to O365 admin center to do that. Now you want to make some small access changes to the force-created email for the group? Oh well you have to go to Exchange admin center for that. Wait, not Outlook admin center? No they are named different things just to make it easy.

Now someone who made an event involving the group is on holiday so I have to remove it, I can do that from exchange admin center right? Well actually the easiest way to do that is to log into Exchange from a power shell terminal through the GUI pop-up and terminal commands. But wait, the search for the event actually doesn’t work there ever, even with the exact name? I guess I will give myself rights to the calendar, reboot Outlook, go to the calendar, remove the event, go back to the terminal, remove my rights to the calendar, restart outlook.

Actually, I don’t miss Microsoft sysadmin tools.

Spotify has partnered with a company essentially trying to do this exact thing apparently

What? It isn’t about that at all.

It is about then filing a patent in 2021 for “aiming and throwing an item to capture a character”. Something that had been done in RPGs for decades. And they bribed enough officials in Japan to get it approved 1 month before palworld came out.

Then they used the full might of Nintendo legal bribery and lawyers to try to crush indie developers that dare make their “style” of game (which they have been floundering for a decade) better than they do.

Not to mention that they use threats to shut down completely legal emulation software that they themselves steal and use after refusing to preserve old games themselves.

And ceos are somehow significantly worse and consistently (and in many industries), almost exclusively make decisions directly opposing the common good including intentionally leading the world forward into societal and ecological collapse and quadrupling down on that stance… Because it makes them more quarterly profit. I guess we just have to let AI do it.

It’s funny because rich people notoriously do NOT pay the wages of police because they tax dodge so hard that it often crosses the line of illegal, even with all of the extremely pro-mega-rich laws and exemptions that america has.

I listened to a ton when I bike to and from work. 40 minutes gets like 2 episodes a day, plus when I am at work

If you are in the EU,

These things are pretty awesome. They have the switch which allows you to change the DB drop depending on what you are using them for (or how loud the specifically concert is)

My girlfriend has some noise sensitivity and they help her a lot just to put them on the lowest dB drop setting or the middle in a busy environment.

There were many bad translations, and many purposefully bad ones.

Is it easier to exert control over a population with eternal damnation or proportional punishment?

I wish that we could get KNX ETS6 in WINE. But it has a USB component though many or most people use IP configuration instead.

Oh no! I really hope this doesn’t start happening to all of the CEOs and board members that make a profit off of legally killing people

Yeah it is a many decades long issue of Israel literally pushing over Palestinians houses with bulldozers to expand their territory, beating and sometimes killing the owners of the houses, then calling it “settling”. Then Palestinians being radicalized and carrying out attacks (and terror attacks) against Israel. Then Israel responding with complete ethnic cleansing genocide and teaching their entire country that the Palestinians aren’t human and kidnapping torturing them in Nazi-ways.

It is pretty much exactly the US vs Native Americans of the modern day. Down to the difference in funding, available technology differences, starvation tactics, and genocide. I think the torture tactics have gotten worse though

This is what I need.

If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don’t need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.

Lol league was extremely toxic in 2010 when streaming wasn’t a thing. I got sucked in and became toxic in 2011-2012 before I quit altogether. Best decision I ever made regarding video games.

It is the player base, not the streamers, that ruin the game.

But maybe this will help a little bit.

Hibernation doesn’t work at all on my windows HP work laptop. Sleep has gotten way way better on Linux in the past 2 years even. My desktop that would be buggy going in and out of sleep has now been flawless such that I auto sleep it after 30 minutes.

Battery life on Linux still sucks though.

Literally the 2nd post on !tech@programming.dev is about mega corporations financials. Many other posts are about legal cases of megacorporations.

It seems to be less about technology, and more about the market and software drama/politics.

At least no musk spam.

Not OP, but maybe because it is a survey from a Linux group and discord has treated Linux like 2nd class citizens since 2015 and they don’t give a flying fuck about making the experience as good on Linux as windows. It is an afterthought.

And it is not like they did anything special at all this year to warrant a “of the year” award. Discord has been out for almost a decade. That is like saying windows is OS of the year when they have done almost nothing but bad decisions this year and the OS is already been out for a long time.

Also in UT1999 right? It sits in my memory, but all my friends only played ut1999 until like 2012 lol.

To be honest. I had a similar question for my girlfriend for drawing with krita. A drawing tablet + a traditional laptop is better for almost everyone except students who will be taking notes in class and people who have to be drawing in a chair or meeting room with no desk setup.

Otherwise a drawing tablet is more accurate, faster, and with better features than a 2-in-1. Much better sensitivity, generally better pressure and tilt functions, and a much better feel (more like paper)

You don’t even have to spring for a Wacom. They have been resting on their laurels for over a decade and have become completely uncompetitive in the past 5 years (kind of the Intel of drawing tablets).

An XPPen Deco Pro Gen II (as an example) has good ergonomics, rotary knobs for zooming, rotating, and scaling, and works over Bluetooth. Their Linux drivers (4.0.x) are pretty great at a fraction of the price of a Wacom or the price difference between a traditional laptop and a 2-in-1.

It ends up being way more ergonomic also to look at a screen and not having to hunch over a tablet. It just takes a week or so to get used to not looking at your hands.

I hope they fixed the broken shoulder button problem. That tiny piece of plastic should be replaced with spring steel for sure for such a high-ware part.

Had 2 break on me. Sent one back, fixed the 2nd via hot glue for a while and a 3d-print when I got a printer. 3rd one has still held up (5€ at the sellout along with the steam link)
