With a Wi-Fi adapter on Desktop?

I think Windows is successful because it creates a nice Enterprise environment, where companies can easily get into investing into new apps to use in their offices. I think that’s why it’s successful.

I think problems that could be solved are generic hardware compatibility. Being able to install Wi-Fi adapters and Digital Tokens easily on Linux would go a long way. I think it will get there, though.

I had one last week because of Storage problems.

Third party licensed apps are everything on Windows.

I use Geany. It’s lightweight and easy to use, but there are some features missing.

That seems like a good idea.

It’s incredible how that proprietary software is actually inefficient e-waste. Most FOSS isn’t bloated or slow, but proprietary software got the high ground because of contracts and “security”, I’m sure.

I know it’s rough. Trying to find a job that pays well and isn’t deep into proprietary stuff like SQL Server, C# and alike. Sadly this scenario is overwhelmingly the case, and until the crowdfunded and open source scenario get strong (they still aren’t) there isn’t too much of an option.

This year’s BRICS convention was really under the radar. I tried following it live, but couldn’t. And it definitely wasn’t clear that nine new nations would join.

I think the study of Ludwig Wittgenstein is all about language being at the center of intelligence, no? I think it even argues that there is no real intelligence without language.

Same as Brazil. The majority of political violence cases happen at municipal level.

This post almost make it sound like Facebook is a good place to keep in touch with people. The algorithm just wrecks the place, like with X.

Gemini, Perplexity, Poe. Creating a Selenium script isn’t that hard for them. You can try running your own, but it’s more less likely that it will produce good results. Best coder LLM I’ve seen out there for hosting is Yi Coder 9B.

It needs a driver and the web-browser to be executed in headless mode. For Chrome that’s chrome-driver. You can get it here.

To make a script for it, I recommend talking to a LLM. I have asked it to build scrapers before, so it does the job.

If you want a practical use of Selenium being demonstrated, you can see it in LucidWebSearch plugin for Oobabooga.

Finally, something done using only RISCV.

ONLYOFFICE is fully compatible with doc and docx files. It’s what I installed on my mom’s computer. She is having an easy time using it. Clients mostly work with doc and docx files, so having an Office Suite that is not fully compatible with those files (like LibreOffice) is a problem. To download ONLYOFFICE you have to search for ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors. Sorry about the Caps, but the official name of the program is in all Caps.

I run The Sims 4 using Steam, but I also have The Sims 2 installed via the EA App and running.

When not using Steam, there is another compatibility layer called Wine, which can run games by installing them in a .wine folder (which will contain all windows related apps).

You have to download Lutris (it runs GOG, EA, Ubisoft) and it will set things up for you, but you will need to modify some files and restart the computer to make the EA App install properly (it has compatibility problems with some settings files - you have to make a file executable and modifiable). ChatGPT or Gemini will be able to give you directions on what to modify if you copy paste the error messages.

Wine installs things on your computer as if it were a windows machine. All files (including the C folder) will be in a hidden folder on your home folder called “.wine”. Linux Mint has a button on the File Explorer to show hidden folders.

Having a LLM guide you through the process eases it a lot, but it is a lot to take in for someone that is starting on Linux, but it gets better and Linux is great because it’s hackable. You can change everything. This is one of its strong points.

Good luck running your games. Effort on adapting to Linux will pay off. It’s a OS that is closer to the machine than Windows (also for closed source and proprietary reasons Windows want to keep the user “away” from the machine).

What I mean is, if you’re using Linux, you’ll have a much easier time coding and programming something, if comes the need. Sometimes, this means being able to do things you would usually use web apps for (splitting PDFs, converting files, and so on).

Maybe the problem is not pornography and videogames, but a grim look at the future - where the person has no stimulus or sight of something good for themselves. Maybe if things were a little less darker and men believed in themselves and their future, things would be better.

Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it’s all the better.
