PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop" in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] feinstruktur@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's the main reason, Linux is still not as widespread as Windows - marketing. If you'd ship all of the sold PCs with a pre-installed Linux, nobody would give a shit.

And why would they? The vast majority of ALL computer users just use functions (email, office, browsing) instead of programs. Oh, I know, I know. If you ask, you always hear Word, Excel, Outlook. But to me that are just synonyms for the tedious everyday tasks most users perform. And if you'd stop training people to repeat tasks and klick buttons and instead train them to understand what they're actually doing ... sigh

Hmm, not sure about that. Waiting for my TV to boot or update or connecting to Wi-Fi or my m music streaming app to 'think' for two minutes until it works at all is tedious. Don't get me wrong - it's still net positive. But I would instantly choose any option that offers less features if it would give me back this cosy feeling, that I'm the customer and not the product. Don't want to go into details here but it feels at certain edges that some of these integrated functionalities have simply not been tested for an actual user, but simply to offer ... more.

Writing that, it also could just be age bias. :-p

English as a second language learners: what words were really hard for you to pronounce? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Very precise answer. Thanks, I've learned something.

Routing (e.g. for cables or traces on a pcb). I've heard both over the years: as in cangaroo or the german Frau. But the latter might be a german mis pronounciation.

Which brings up two new questions. Is it German or german and mispronounciation or mis pronounciation or mis-pronounciation?

Oh, one really pronounces the 'shuh' part? I was told it's just the first two syllables.

What's the worst of your daily used apps? Be specific regarding the flaws: Performance-wise, usability, bad UI ... (lemmy.ml)
 

For me it's no doubt 'Spotify'. Hilarious loading times and lack of functions, in my case for podcast and audio books, which are standard for years in FOSS-players like AntennaPod.

Foreigners are to blame for everything and kicking them out of your country is key to solving everything.

What is your favorite kitchen gadget? in c/cooking@lemmy.world
[–] feinstruktur@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Silicone rubber spatula, for sure. In Germany it's sometimes called a 'Geizhals', because it perfectly scrapes off every rest of doug or sauce or dressing or whatever you've put together. Oh - and my ceramic knife sharpener. Can't decide which to put at the top.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin in c/technology@lemmy.world

I wonder when the big software players running their stuff on Win are going to complain. For me, I'm tied to Autodesk. If they would make their mind up and start a Linux version or support Proton (I don't see, why the advancement in the gaming world couldn't in principle be applied to productivity software) I would be away from MS at work instantly.

Is there no good inexpensive CAD software? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] feinstruktur@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I recently looked into (affordable) Linux-CAD programs and stumbled upon VariCAD, which, checking their presentation, appeared pretty complete. Saying that I would just make a decision after throwing a serious project, multiple parts, workgroups, parameters and technical drawing generation, on it. Maybe someone can comment on it?

How do I perform a text search in my current view? (lemmy.ml)
 

I don't get it. The only possibility for searching is the 'search' button at the bottom. But that just searches through all community names.

How can I do the same for post titles or whole discussions? Am I missing something? Thanks a lot.

Ear buds with little wind induced noise. (lemmy.ml)
 

Sorry for the bad wording in the title.

For years I've used some ear buds which are unfortunately not available anymore.

I've bought some others recently and while they are fine for 'static' use, they're unusable while driving, because the air stream causes really bad noise.

So question to my fellow cyclists: Do you use some bluetooth ear buds, most preferreable with this sort of neck cable, that 'stay silent' while driving? Brand and model would be very much appreciated.

Thanks and drive save!

Which SLA-Printer to buy? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm currently tinkering around with the 'Anycubic Photon S' to get a first impression. I'm already hooked up and like to buy an SLA-printer for the job. I'm in strong favour for an (Prusa) SL1S because of its speed, the prusaslicer and support. So, although money is fortunetely not a problem, I can spent it only once.

So I'd like to ask about your experience. Anyone using an SL1S and wants to share his/ hers experience?

Only downside I can see at the moment is the (relatively) small bed. A bigger one might come in handy, but it also makes the whole process even more messy (bigger washing provisions, waste, etc.).

So - any users of a big (build) volume SLA printer, like the 'Anycubic Photon Mono M3 Max' around who also might want to drop a line?

Thanks a lot for your support, have fun printing!

Camera problems for a while ... (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm using lineage for some years now, with a longer break between 19 and 20. Stayed with 19 for a long time. Everything on a Moto G7 Plus. No problems until I smashed the phone. Got two new used ones and installed 20. Both showing strange camera ... lag? Even more strange, this applies to all FOSS camera apps I've tried. Feels like the OS runs into super high CPU load and thus significant lag when using the camera app. That applied to both new phones. Can someone push me into the right direction? Thanks a lot.

Flexible filament that can be used with a bowden extruder? (lemmy.ml)
 

I need a certain, rather complex shaped, flexible rubber gasket for a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Cutting it by hand would be a pain in the rear. My idea is to 3D-print it on my Ender. And now for my questions. a) Is it a myth, that you cannot use flexible filament I a bowden extruder? b) If no, does anyone of you guys can propose a material, that might be suitable for the above job? Thanks a lot!
