Aliens. The second part was my first of the series.

Aliens. Must have been 12 or so. A boring sunday and my friend’s mom drove us to the cinema. (In Germany the movie was rated 16) but we didn’t bounce off at the desk. I was not exactly horrified, but so … thrilled. After that I dived a bit too deep into the H.R.Giger universe, I guess.

I’ve read the book first and that ruined a good portion of the following week. The basement scene still haunts me today. Honestly I don’t dare to touch the movie now …

1. Resiliance: No (electrical) power, no servers, no transactions, no (a bit exaggerated) society.
2. Full corporation surveillance. Even worse: Performed by unsupervised and proprietary algorithms.
3. Following 2) full governmental surveillance.

Cash, at least in europe. In my opinion that decision would mark one of the most epic political fails in recent history but I fear, that’s what’s going to happen.

Sspine doesn’t make sense here at all. I assume OP meant esophagus/ gullet.

How likely is it that Proton can be used to make native Windows applications (especially CAD-Software) run on Linux? Beside my own desperate desire to do that I guess there are others out there to eagerly switch OS. For the software providers it seems to be a great opportunity to acquired new customers (at first glance).

I’ve spent half a day yesterday to set up a VM running Debian on my office’s Win PC. Since I’m tied to Windows because of my proprietary CAD, my plan is to limit my interaction to a minimum and instead do everything else in the Linux-VM. With shared drives and drag’n’drop I hope it will work out. It comes in also very handy that I started years ago to strictly choose open source software that’s available for both platforms - so no learning curve. Since MS won’t listen - we all need to laudly complain about the lack of linux support towards our software providers. And yes, maybe too naïve, it will change something in the long run.

Well, guy who actually lives there (Schleswig-Holstein) here. Be precise in what’s written in tfa. What it laments about is that one (single) work place is about to be installed and that subsequent steps are about to follow.

I don’t want to sound too pessimistic here. The fact, that this topic is on the high level agenda shows that it has strong supporters - for the moment.

But weighing in past decades’ province goverment’s spendings in large scale software projects and peoples’ fear of everything even marginally IT, I’m very reluctant to see the big move here. Opposition against changes to my windows is simply unfathomable strong.

Nevertheless - and I mean that - it’s a good development.

No no, I don’t mean Lemmy. I’m talking of external links. It feels like some server replies are not as responsive once I use Firefox, while chrome-based browsers react very fast.

Thanks for the feedback. To add to the clients: Voyager has implemented a quite well working search function, but got veeery slow on Firefox recently. But it’s important to mention that (my guess) this behavior is not Voyager’s fault, but conspiracy on rather Firefox’ requests are handled with lower priority… Yep, just a personal feeling, nothing I could prove.

German movie ‘Der goldene Handschuh’ which tells the true story of 70’s serial killer Fritz Honka. When a friend proposed to watch it, I seriously thought it to be a sports movie (the german ‘Handschuh’ translates to glove and my association instantly was a goal keeper’s glove…). Well, I was wrong. The dense and depressing atmosphere of Honka’s childhood and life, together with the derogatory, very hard and profane language and of course depiction of sexuality and violence towards women was simply too much for me. It sucked away all positivity at that moment. I finished it later and the director hit me once more, because in the end credits real pictures of the true locations where shown, proving the film’s sets where simply identical. That ripped away the last imagination that what I’ve just seen was just a very dark fantasy and too bad to be real. Brilliant movie and actors (the main actor in his role is simply not recognizable any more from his real life appearance, just like Charlize Theron in ‘Monster’), but too hard to for me to take.
