OK Linux folks. With #KDE hitting 29 years old, I'm curious about switching my gaming PC from Windows 11 to KDE. The games I play are listed on ProtonDB as being gold or platinum, so I think I'm good as far as gaming goes, but I have some other software concerns.
What do y'all use for cloud file storage/syncing?
What do you use for image editing/creation?
Where can I find out if my Razer Leviathan and HyperX mic will work on KDE?

Languages are fun, have mysterious rules called grammar, but their native speakers certainly don't care about all that. In other words, do native speakers of a language speak the language correctly, as textbooks prescribe? (Hint: Definitely not.)

It still boggles my mind that Xcode's *built in* AI autocomplete keeps suggesting APIs that don't exist.
Like, it's literally sitting on top of a compiler that can determine if an API exists, so why can't it ask the compiler *before* suggesting it?
The entire purpose of autocomplete is to help me find out the real name of hard-to-remember APIs. I'm perfectly capable of *misremembering* them by myself, I don't need the computer to do it for me

I think it's bold of Klarna's CEO to make his own position redundant through the use of AI…
He's still the CEO, and he fired more than half of the workforce?

#Windows10: #Microsoft verlängert kostenlose Updates in Europa um ein Jahr
derstandard.at/story/300000028…
Liebe Leute, ihr habt euer #Win10 maximal noch ein weiteres Jahr. Allerdings hält es euch nicht auf, jetzt schon auf etwas Besseres umzusteigen!
Lauter nette Leute, die du auf endof10.org/ findest, helfen dir bei deinen ersten Schritte mit #Linux auf deinem Computer. 
In #Graz macht das das #LinuxCafé zumindest 1x/Monat: events.graz.social/@linux_cafe Am 21.10. ist es wieder soweit. Gleich mal notieren und im besten Fall vorab Daten sichern, damit du mit einem frisch aufgesetzten Linux wieder danach heimkommst. 
Es warat wegen #Privatsphäre, #digitaleSouveränität, #Sicherheit und weil's einfach unkomplizierter und schneller ist - besonders auf nicht aktuellster Hardware. 👍

Nichtstun gefährlich: Ende für #Windows 10 wird schlagend

Wer aktuell auf dem eigenen Computer noch Windows 10 verwendet, steht spätestens am Dienstag vor einer großen Entscheidung: Dann stellt Microsoft offiziell die Unterstützung für sein mittlerweile zehn Jahre altes Betriebssystem ein.ORF.at
Es ist soweit: #Windows10 ist nun Geschichte, sofern man nicht für die Verlängerung von einem Jahr seinen Rechner eng an #Microsoft binden möchte:
derstandard.at/story/310000029…
Wer diese Verknüpfung an Microsoft ohnehin nie wollte, für den ist nun #Windows generell gestorben, da #Windows11 dies ebenfalls erfordert.
Ich empfehle, #Linux für die eigenen Zwecke zumindest zu testen. Geht ja auch auf so gut wie jeder alten Hardware wunderbar und einfach.
Wer hier unsicher ist, der soll sich an #EndOf10 halten, das dir beim Umstieg auf Linux gerne hilft: endof10.org/

Today is the day Mr. Hummelgaard wanted to push through a vote on Chat Control in the EU Council. But he failed! 🎉
However, Chat Control will be back, so let's look at what this law means for everyone, not just here in Europe:
#ChatControl is nothing but a Trojan Horse for citizens and businesses in Europe. Why?
🧵 (1/7)
@Tuta you have to be precise with this: it did not fail! to avoid failure the vote was postponed because somehow surprisingly germany showed some resistance. i don't expect it to stay that way.
the eu commission's president Ursula von der Leyen, a member of the cdu, the actual ruling party in germany, was notorious for using the pretext of fighting child abuse to install internet censorship in germany (dns blocking list aso). thus her nickname in germany: Zensursula, from Zensur (censorship) and Ursula ...
a postponed vote can be added quite quickly back on the agenda and fighting the evil internet is a popular topic in party circles of the conservatives. also, don't count on the german chancellor Merz to keep promises he made ...

in reply to Jiří Eischmann • • •@sesivany Multiple people are telling me to use Nextcloud. I'll have to investigate further. I need whatever option I pick to work with MacOS, iOS, and Linux.
The last time I tried GIMP was almost two decades ago. Hopefully the UI has improved since then.

in reply to Skysong • • •Nextcloud isn't just a storage any more. It's a platform for integrated apps. I cover a lot of things with it: files, calendars, contacts, tasks, document editing, photo albums, password manager, RSS reader, notes taking... If you don't prefer selfhosting, Hetzner provides it for ~€5/TB/month.
GIMP has improved, but its UI isn't radically different from what it was 20 years ago. There are other editors. Just "I need exactly Photoshop and Light room" doesn't work.
