There are actually only two kinds of windows apps that don't run on Linux: Those made not to run on Linux on purpose, and those that were made by so bad programmers that you'll be amazed how fast the "fixme" messages scroll in the terminal window from which you started wine. I'm working with one of the latter, and I'm happy that I just finished the last project with it. This piece of software is plain shit. And it looks like they don't intend to fix their shit.
I like scientific cooking. I'm a big fan of Sebastian Lege, who is a cook and food designer, and who knows all the little chemical tricks of the food industry. I wish he would publish a cook book: On the left, a recipe for the dish as made by a professional chef with normal ingredients, on the right the recipe for the same dish as made by the food industry.
I remember one show where he made "Banana Milk". The banana flavor was made from vinegar, some alcohol, and some other acid...
Just today, I applied one of his ideas. I made a Chinese dish with chicken, and added baking powder to the marinade made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and chili. And it was amazing!
When I arrived at work, the office was still closed. I waited in the car for half an hour for a coworker with a key to show up. And I'll have to ask him if he is still around after lunch to let me back in again...
I don't know the exact numbers but: I frequently used a VAX11/780. Its main components were two enclosures (CPU and Memory), each about a square meter in footprint and somewhere in the range of 1.6m high (IIRC). Both had their power delivered as 3x380V (i.e. European three-phase power) into the power supply part (the lower half to 2/3rds of those blocks) which turned it into rock solid 5V - and a LOAD of heat, which meant the room also needed some extra strong AC.
A good search engine would be quite important. One thing that annoyed me back on the site that should not be named was that their search engine was completely useless - It was not even capable to find posts where I entered verbatim text of.
Having a good search engine that can actually find a post I was looking for would be a major plus for the fediverse.
The nationalist party PiS had turned the public television into a propaganda system. People called the TV news channel "TVPiS" instead of the official name "TVP".
Yep. Denture cleaners are quite good for food-safe stuff. When we cleaned out grandmas flat, I put her cleaner tablets aside, astonishing the other family members with my move: "But you've got no dentures?!?!" Those pills are great for cleaning vases or thermos bottles.
Maybe add a 5) needs to be able to export to LaTeX. It might be nice and easy to write in typst, but you'll sooner or later hit the wall of "We accept submissions in Word and LaTeX only."
And "Freedumb", and "I did my own research".
