♥️ Merci #Microsoft pour tous ces efforts que vous déployez sans relâche depuis tant d'années pour me faire détester #MicrosoftWindows (et #MicrosoftOffice, soit dit en passant) et aimer profondément GNU/Linux et les #LogicielsLibres en général. Franchement, bravo et merci ! Continuez comme ça 👏

www.linkedin.comWindows 11 : encore une excuse pour nous forcer à changer de PC | Cédric DelbergheWindows 11 : encore une excuse pour nous forcer à changer de PC Franchement, qui n’a pas déjà eu cette sensation d’être poussé vers la sortie par Microsoft ? Aujourd’hui, c’est au tour des processeurs Intel de 8e, 9e et 10e génération d’être mis sur la sellette avec Windows 11 24H2. Officiellement, si vous avez déjà Windows 11, pas de souci… mais pour combien de temps ? J’ai déjà vécu ça avec Windows 11 et son fichu TPM 2.0. Un PC encore performant, mais "pas assez sécurisé" selon Microsoft. Résultat ? J’ai dû bidouiller pour installer l’OS. Maintenant, on nous refait le coup avec les processeurs, histoire d’accélérer le renouvellement du matériel. Et demain ? Windows 12 exigera-t-il un abonnement et une IA intégrée pour ouvrir le Bloc-notes ? Microsoft, on peut parler d’innovation sans rendre obsolètes des machines encore parfaitement fonctionnelles ? #Windows11 #Sobriété #DSI | 11 comments on LinkedIn

On June 26th ( two days ago ) PewDiePie ( who I believe needs no introduction ) released another video in his liberation saga. This time titled I'm DONE with Google. In this video he goes over his process of getting "de-google-efied", or as he clarifies toward the end of the video, his process of getting rid of his reliance on B...

Reason 10 To Choose Linux 😍

Linux 🐧 is more private, by default

Own and control your data!

Your operating system won't record your key strokes or dictation, collect lists of devices and their Wi-Fi details, or webcams, printers and anything else plugged in and then send that back to Big Tech HQ.

It's possible to avoid data collection altogether, from the start.

With #Linux YOU decide how to share YOUR data.

It took me a few days to upgrade my Mastodon since it required some self-inflicted yak shaving to upgrade my very old version of Ubuntu.

Kagi searches reveal that lots of people have this problem, so here's how I upgraded my very old #Ubuntu to the latest LTS release.

{anonymous => 'hash'}; · Updating an old Ubuntu to a supported versionI’d inadvisably allowed my Ubuntu get way out of date. This is how I upgraded it from Kinetic Kudu (v22.10) to Noble Numbat (v24.04).

Per vari motivi mi tocca usare Powerpoint 365 per un progetto.

È la decima volta (per arrotondare) che mi segnala un problema ogni volta che modifico del testo in una casella (su caratteri differenti eh).
Per modificare una riga sto combattendo da 10 minuti. "Si è verificato un problema, riprovare più tardi." e sotto il tasto aggiorna.

Non lo uso mai fortunatamente, torno dopo anni per colpa di altrз, e noto le stesse puttanate di sempre e poi mi viene in mente chi mi diice "no, ma office 365 è il migliore, come si fa senza?"
Sarà... io senza lavoro benissimo.

Torno su OnlyOffice, dove l'ho fatta tutta senza un cazzo di problema, e poi la carico e la invio da lì.

Ciao Microsoft, noto sempre con piacere che il tuo "ottimo software" non mi serve a un bel niente e sono felice della scelta (etica e tecnica) che ho fatto 25 anni fa.

👋👋👋


P.S. Microsoft è nel BDS, giusto per...

@cadey 1/n Looking at what FSF are rationalizing to call your middleware "malware" (despite yours are #freesoftware if I'm not wrong), probably it wouldn't help if you change the challenges to letting training a tiny #machinelearning models (data and answers generated from a distribution from server), graphic-based challenges, web workers,... #FSF still think you're still letting the users running unwanted software.

LibreOffice recently got Markdown file support! 🎉 But know what's still missing? A 100% perfect bug-free user experience 😋 And that's what we are around for! 😇
Today, in about 45 minutes, I'll be #livestreaming bugfixes on #LibreOffice for #BugsDoneQuick — my attempt to rid the FOSS world of as many papercut issues over the week as I can 😁

Deluxe Draw is dangerously nearing a threshold of actual practical utility as it now saves files AND retrieves them, with multiple layers.

I'm busy with a big UI rework, adding actual menus, so that it's not all buttons cluttered everywhere.

No GTK! No QT!
