You have quite a big inches in Germany, my friend.

I was buying new (used) car half a year ago. There were two reasons why I ended with ICE again.
Price. EV, even used ones, are so damn expensive it’s just not for normal people. Everyone is saying how they lose value instantly and so on, but when I look at the market, even the cheapest ones (over 10 years old Nissan Leaf that will do less than 80 km on battery at summer) are ridiculously priced compared to ICE of the same age and similar specs. At least that’s what it is in my country.
Chargers. I live in an appartement without garage, parking on the street. No way to charge it with “cheap household electricity” over night. There are I believe 3 chargers in my ~15k town and every single one is ridiculously overpriced. 1 kWh there costs almost as half a litre of gas. Considering fuel/electricity consumption, this is making the cost per km of both options virtually identical for me.
Everyone around me is very EV-skeptical and old fashioned. I’m not and I’m cheering for EVs. So I really wanted to switch, but hell it wasn’t making any sense yet.
… as is Windows Recall /s
I’d like to see full list with criteria. Thank you very much.
IIRC: about decade ago Ubuntu (still with its own Unity DE) processed system search in a way it shoveled amazon ads to users in first places. Or something lime that.
I don’t mind long winded books as long as it’s still interesting read with things happening. I’m really looking forward to reading this.
I really like what I’ve read from him, although it wasn’t that much. Book of some short horror stories and The Stand, which was really amazing (to the point I watched that mediocre TV series with Gary Sinise, which was quite let down after the book). I’ve also recently got Under the Dome, so that’ll be my next read I think.
I’ve heard of it, but did not read it (yet). The story I wrote about was from early 60s, which made it quite unique IMO.
I’ve read a short story with similar theme from mostly unknown local author. It was called something like “vampire car” and the car did not use fuel, but blood from the driver’s foot instead. Due to this it was unbelievably fast, but deadly.
I wonder what’s everyone doing with KDE? I’ve been using it for over 3 years on my PC and it was always rock solid for me. It’s openSUSE Tumbleweed with all AMD build.
Truth be told I don’t customize it heavily. Just minor tweaks here and there with the rest being default, which I find good enough.
Well, you rely on third party devs. So there might be conflicts or breakage when something updates and something doesn’t. Not sure how it is in reality, but this gnome stubbornness is quite off putting to me.
That was unexpected, but welcome message. Thanks for caring.
There’s also mojeek.com running their own index. Not perfect, but sometimes usable.
It depends on what programs and how much do you need them. Some are fine with plain wine, some need more tinkering. There are multiple ways, starting from lutris, through bottles, to steam’s “non-steam game”. But still there are some SW that just won’t work on linux no matter what.
This meme was obviously created inside of it.
Yes, that’s why I said gui store might default to snap because that’s what new users are using. But when you explicitly put command to terminal and it still ignores it? That’s not what I expected when I jumped MS ship…
Not OP, but… the reason why I won’t use Ubuntu is that whole snap thing. I’m not hating on snaps in general (although I prefer flatpak), but I hate what Ubuntu does with them. You apt install firefox and yet it still ignores your command and do whatever it feels like doing. Why? Why not leave both options available while maybe prefering snaps for inexperienced users (I mean like gui store default to snap)? This is just one thing now, but what might be next? This smells whole lot like Microsoft approach (light version). And I don’t like this direction.
Wow, that trackers bullshit is even worse than I thought.
After all I’m glad that I asked. Something felt fishy about Presearch from the start and I couldn’t pin point what exactly. Reading through all the terms and technicalities was exhausting, so this thread was nice kind of tldr.
Thanks everyone.
I don’t know, the best I can do is hope. I’m not a native speaker and my english lessons are long gone, so I put words here and there as they came to my mind hoping the other side will understand… Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
It’s still an absolute gem. I love it.
