I have done business trips either the regular connection a couple of times. It takes 8-9 hours to get to Paris, which is time I can use to work.

The new connection looks great for a weekend trip. Get on board Friday evening, sleep on the train and have breakfast in Paris. Spend a night and leave Sunday night. Have a small breakfast and go to work.

I work as an Information Architect. I liked following their stream of thought to get an idea about what information weights more for a user.

Great post! Thanks.

LOL

Best played with headphones.

Thanks. I’ll look into this.

Have you tried languagetool? There is an integration for Libre Office, Obsidian, MS Word and others. It offers spell checking, rephrasing and is superior to the build in checker in my experience. You could compare it to DeepL versus Azure Translate.

1. harden parental controls on windows install.
2. „hey son! I hardened the parental controls on your windows install. And by the way, I installed Linux to your PC as well. It has no parental controls.“
3. ???
4. Linux Sysadmin

These are two variations from the same artist.

I like this one

It is a friendly recognizable chameleon and they did a good job with integrating the existing abstract logos.

From the Solo designs I loved the ones with the branch with different endings a lot. It had a warm touch to it, but was a little to filigrane for a logo.

And it does not only work against cooperations, but against things like surveillance laws as well. Those have been fought successfully on an European level.

It is a great project, but unfortunately I guess it is not running very well. They did the setup with raspberry pies first with additional modules like a screen, an LED matrix and other things you could program. The software experience is pretty awesome. The whole manual is telling your kid a story and describing everything in just the right language for a kid. You plug it and the story goes on at terminal level when your kid is promted to write their name. After this it boots into a really well made desktop with a adventure game to get to know the computer, a bunch of programming tools and a browser.

There is actually a theory floating around, that people growing up in the 80ies-2000 were the most tech literate, because they had to tinker to get thinks to work. Want to play a game on DOS 6.2 and it did not work? Edit some system files for more memory. Today the technisch hidden behind false physics and got really well.

My son is nine. I got him a Kano (the old one with a raspberry pie as base) and he has to learn why we need to connect a display to the processing unit and connect peripherals to do things. His friends own a tablet, a smartphone and a gaming console. You cannot see behind the tech in those, if you don’t want to destroy them and explore hobbit works (on a basic level).

If it works for you, that’s fine. You are right with the monospaced font being limited to the boxes. Jetbrains mono uses ligatures to overcome certain spacing limits. On top of this some characters are designed to connect better to their surroundings, as the „l“ mentioned, which is not just a stroke, but connects to the neighboring characters with the top and bottom strokes.

Not OP, but if you look at the Hello World code example, the “HelloWorld” class is visually divided at the l’s and the o and W are glued together. Looks more like “Hel l oWorld”.

I recently read about https://murena.com/ which is a degoogled OS. Might be not enough for your needs, but others might find it useful.

So you want to backup or do you want to file share/work together on documents?

For backup I use Spideroak for all our families computers. It did a solid job over the last four Linux laptops and MacBooks I used. I only backup the home directory and the external drive with my Photo Library.

For Cloud Storage I use OneDrive. I don’t have much to share, so this is normally enough.

The term you and @Yote are looking for is enshittification. Cory Doctrorow wrote a blog post about this.

Tax and social security is US government too. These are basic dates, that every employer needs. In Germany the data your employer needs is:

• medical insurance company
• birthdates of your children
• marriage status
• your birthdate
• social security number
• tax id
