The french have always been very chauvinist about their language. They do not like English, as they view french as an equally great world language. It was likely somehow obligated to have an English version, and subsequently a somewhat conscious choice by some employees or board of directors to not keep it stocked as well as the French version.

Also, it is over tourism. There are so many tourists people are sick of them. It's not a french but a human thing. I've seen "touris raus" in Berlin too... The downside of raising housing prices etc are by a significant part of population valued more than the economic advantage of more local consumption (and I get that).

    It's not so black and white. Yes asshole behaviour. But also: the sidewalk is very narrow, there are many shops, people living in the neighborhood are likely to not have any garden or tiny balconies etc. The (other) real culprit is the street designer / city planner. You can see on the other side of the street that despite it being a very narrow, multimodal busy place... they did NOT sacrifice all (free?) streetside parking in favour of more "living space" for pedestrians. Likely recorded during heat wave, with unlivably overheated Appartments and not enough trees/parks in the area...

    Wish I had the balls to scratch a little penis in the paintwork with my keys.

    What I really do is make a picture (with visible license plate and added points for having a person in wheelchair with a sad face next to it) and send it to the city...

    When I see a drunk driver not able to hold a lane I feel threatened and I remember that literally forever... It must be down to mediacoverage, ads etc, because also while driving on the roads you see fucking dangerous shit all the time

    It shouldn't be allowed to be pirated, it should just become open source/society's property by default in that case. You don't want to sell your digital only item or maintain it's platform anymore? Fine, now everyone can have it.

    I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.

    Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.

    Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.

    Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.

    Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.

    Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)

    Best HTPC distro? (sh.itjust.works)

    I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

    To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

    Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

    It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

    To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

     

    Glaubt Ihr es ist Zeit zu ernten, schon zu Spät, oder wird es vielleicht noch besser?

    Gorilla Cookie Auto, ich habe nicht wirklich viel gemacht, nur in nen topf auf dem Balkon mit automatische tropfenbewässerung und 2 Monate ziemlich ignoriert. Pflanz hat letzte Woche viele blätter verloren, werden Gelb und danach runtergefallen.

    After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.

    Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?

    EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4
