  • So just like Musk and even Trump, as he isn't a real native?

    I say, deport them!!
    Although I'm not sure who would want those fucking wankers

  • Hopefully this is separated from typical software and can't be just changed remotely

    Usually the hardware has some low level safety guards, and aren't just done in high level software

  • Yeah, shorting the cells does that

  • Thank you!
    Looking forward to your posts and thanks for the links :⁠-⁠D

    Regarding the reMarkable:
    I'm a fan since the first generation and now have the new pro version.
    I really fucking love it and I can't imagine my work without it anymore.
    Before that I always had A4 notebooks with me. One per project and I couldn't just discard filled up ones, because I sometimes needed to check my earlier notes
    So after some time, I was packing multiple notebooks on business trips and that got really heavy.
    The reMarkable completely solved that.
    I would still like to have it perform a bit faster on some cases and I missed some features, like drawing geometric things (or just a straight line), but since the last update they brought in a really cool feature.
    You draw something like a line, square or circle, and if you want to have it straightened out (and not consist of your own wobbly lines), you just hold the pen in place after finishing the shape and it will make it geometrically nicely drawn.

    As said, I really love it :⁠-⁠)
    Although the price tag is a bit hard, I've given away the 2 earlier generations to friends and so they still have a happy productive life, after I upgraded.
    So I'm fine with that at least...

    Edit: looking through the links, it's pretty much focused on the English alphabet. As a German speaker, I'll probably need something for ö,ä,ü,ß - although I could probably extend that myself a bit, when needed
    All in all, that looks very very interesting and could really help me in my daily work :⁠-⁠D
    Seems my wife is hooked as well, as she often needs to make quick notes during her work

    Edit 2: woah, ok
    First off, this all looks amazingly tempting, but I'm completely overwhelmed with the choices

    I'd need something to quickly write technical stuff down - like "just" replacing typical letters with easier/faster written ones, and cursive sounds more fun/fluid to write.
    But I'm having a hard time to filter out the systems, that base on phonetics. Because I think, that would make it harder for me to actually read my notes, and as I'm usually not transcribing spoken words, I don't really need that part.

    I'm still looking through your recommendations, so sorry, if I missed something, that already matches my requirements. But would you have any system in mind, that would fit my purpose to quickly note down my thoughts and concepts that way?

  • As I'm rocking a reMarkable, my priorities would be ranked:

    • speed
    • size on page

    Everything else, I'm not exactly decided on, like number of users isn't really important to me, because I'm mostly taking notes for myself.
    Phonetics also aren't really important, because I'm mostly focused on technical stuff.
    Study time? Well, it is what it is. And when it's worth it, I'll put in the time. But maybe it would be nice to have something quickly rewarding to start?

    But this probably shouldn't be orientated about my needs.
    Anything you provide about this interesting topic, especially when you include practical usage, is absolutely appreciated!

  • Well, depends on what you need to restart.

    If it's just a service or two, then it's pretty quick.

    Obviously you need to know, what you're doing.
    And I think that's pretty hard with windows, because it never tells you, what it's actually doing during an update.

    With Linux it's much more transparent and often the restart of a service is just part of my update routine.
    No need to close and save all my open stuff, and reboot. Just restart the few services that got an update and that's pretty much it.

    So, really depends on the update, the transparency of it and also the personal insight/skill

  • Not of you need to wait for ever for an update to finish during shutdown, when you just want to pack up your laptop and finally leave the work site - and afterwards it somehow needs the same time to boot up again, because it's preparing out finishing something, without ever telling you, what the hell it's actually doing all the time

    And usual reboot only takes like 20s, you're right there, but not with a windows update blocking a normal shutdown or startup

  • That sounds pretty cool actually! :⁠-⁠D

    Is it hard to learn?
    And could you maybe give me some entry level links or so?

  • I'm sorry, never heard about shorthand systems.
    What's that?
    And why can't we have a comparable community here? (Like the one you linked and it's about screen didn't really give me any info on what it's about ;⁠-⁠))

  • Thanks!
    I'm basing all my stuff only on hearsay, so I actually have no clue, and always wondered, how this way of acquiring defense weapons can work out, if I have to rely on my salesman in case I actually need them.

    I hope you're correct, but that gives me at least some calm - thanks.

  • Didn't know about that
    Does my Megane E-Tech already have that port?
    Have never read about this before

  • Yeah, we seem to have so good stuff

    But I'm worried about all the money we already put into foreign/USA hardware, especially jets, as it seems that the USA has some kind of remote control of the actual operational status of the craft we bought from them.

    So I'm worried, that quite some of our EU nations spend money on stuff, that's completely useless in an actual war

  • Are we still enough equipped, when we throw out all the American jets, the USA can just disable remotely (or at least don't give us the codes to start - actually I'm not entirely sure, what the reality here is, but it seems the USA has some say in the usage of our fighter jets, when they are bought from the USA)?

    I'd really like to find some comfort in your words, but all the shit I read doesn't look pretty for us in Europe

  • Yeah, wherever I talk with right wingers, who support fascists and extreme right radicals, it's always the extreme radicale left in opposition.
    Because everything, that's not on their extreme right site, seems to be radicale left...

  • What's wrong with that?

    Edit: despite that peyote shouldn't be just gathered on the wild, because they're protected

  • Ah, yeah, thanks.

    Auto correct fucked me over...

  • I just don't know how a grown up and educated human can still look for a leader in its life

    I'm in favour of a primus inter pares concept, so I do get, that I give off responsibility in some parts of my life to people, who just do it better.
    Like, I'm not really good with mechanical stuff, others are. So it's better that they do it.
    But I'm rather good with computer stuff, so we help each other out.

    I just don't see the need for a kindergartner in a society of grown ups.

    Problem is, that we're currently lacking education in quite some parts, so many people never really get to actually grow up and need to rely on other people, because they never knew better.
    This sounds a bit derogatory, but that's the only way I can image, why people want to have a "strong" leader above them - they just don't want to take responsibility.

  • Yeah, I'm an Anarchist as well

    So that's what I basically described here ;⁠-⁠)
    Or at least a form of it

  • I'm just fed up with the constant sensational shock fake news (usually of right wing parties), which only aim for fear, anger and hatred

    Yeah, we all have problems and we need to work on that. That's pretty much life - especially social life and much more (geo-) political life.

    But I can't stand the rhetoric anymore. From highschool bullies playbook to imitating Hitler's rhetoric. I'm just too fed up with it.

    I want fact based politics and crowd sourced solutions - from the people that are actually affected.
    And not some idiot calling a whole group of people degenerates and worth shit.

    In the late 90s with the "real" Internet still alive and all of the people starting to face global problems, I was really optimistic, that this would bring us all together.
    To work on a global solution.
    But nah, we need to have populistic simple "solutions" for complex problems, where seemingly every time it's just the fault of some minority group or some foreigners.

    This now just isn't the world I wanted to live in and I naively hoped for so much better and more...

    Edit: to make extend on that:
    Society doesn't need a rigid framework of rules to live in. So fuck social control - doesn't matter if it comes from religion or from state.
    The laws we live in should reflect the society we currently are. And not try to pressure society into some form of ideological picture.
    And with that, fuck ideology as well.

    Society is always changing and our rules to live by need to be as flexible as that.
    But somehow people still long for a wannabe strongman leader, who only cares for himself.

    We could just build our own society, with basic democracy, no real leaders, but maybe just elected representatives.
    We don't need anyone to tell us, how we should behave.
    We hopefully are grown up enough to see the ethical correct way.

    But people seem to prefer to be childs and just hand over responsibility...
