MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image

They don't. They update with regular packages. The updates are atomic though and are only applied at next boot, so there's less of a risk of weird breakages.

In isolation, it's very obviously a bad thing, because it makes solar less profitable and might slow down the switch to renewables.

In a wider context, it can still be seen as a god thing as it means there has been a significant pivot to solar already and luckily it's also a very solvable problem. There just needs to be more energy storage.

up to 60 km/h, only on Autobahn

Huh, how does that go together? Aren't you supposed to go at least 80 or something on an autobahn?

It does not give context. They were deported by Belgium.

Is any of that relevant or the family's fault?

This is the best FOSS keyboard that's under active maintenance.

I assume that might be a reference to FlorisBoard? Because development on that one as actually picked up again, but that's only visible so far if you're using the Beta version. They're opreparing for a new full release.

A lot of the mainstream apps definitely have privacy issues. They often sell data about their users menstrual cycles which can theoretically be bought by anti-abortion activists/authorities on the free market to track whether someone might be pregnant.

StreetComplete and its expert editions are definitely my favourite way to contribute to OpenStreetMaps on mobile. There's also Vespucci which allows you to do more complex stuff like add paths and shape, but the UI isn't super great imo. Organic Maps which I use for navigation actually allows you to edit and contribute quite a bit.

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

I thought China denied that there are any Chinese "police" stations in Europe?

They deny all sorts of things:

(Hoping this post will finally make it throug now that federation issues are fixed) One of the main pain points of lemmy imo is that it is hard to find/be aware of communities your instance hasn't been connected to. In my previous app, Liftoff, I was kind of able to get around that by quickly switching to the default mode (basically guest mode for lemmy.world) and search for communities via lemmy.world, as that is one of the biggest and most well connected instances, and then subscribe via my regular account.

I wonder if there could be a way to implement something like that in Voyager. Voyager already has a guest mode that also defaults to lemmy.world, but it's not really easily accessible anymore once logged in. Being able to add a guest account to the switcher could be a quick way to make that a bit easier. Or maybe it would make more sense to add a "search via instance X" option to the search interface directly. There's also stuff like lemmyverse that aggregrates all instances and has an even more complete community search, but that would I assume be the most labour intensive way to implement a broader search feature like that.

 

Moin, ich biete ab und an für Rentner etwas grundlegende Computerhfe an: Umgang mit Browser und Email, Drucker einrichten, unter Unständen Installation von FF mit uBlock, nervige Pop-Ups ausschalten, so etwas halt.

Nun hat sich heute ein älterer Herr bei mir gemeldet, hauptsächlich mit den Use Case Internet surfen und Kartenspiele spielen ^^, der meinte er hatte schon einmal jemanden, der ihm geholfen hat, seinen neuen Laptop einzurichten und ihm alle möglichen tollen Sachen versprochen hat und sich irgendwann nicht mehr bei ihm gemeldet hat.

Habe mir dabei erst einmal nichts weiter bei gedacht, vielleicht hatte der Typ ja einfach keinen Bock mehr, einem Senioren bei seinem Kleinkram zu helfen oder sonst etwas. Ist natürlich absolut möglich. Werde jetzt aber den Verdacht nicht los, dass es sich dabei vielleicht auch um einen Betrugsversuch gehandelt haben könnte. So nach dem Motto, installieren wir dem Ollen mal etwas Spyware und hoffen da Bankdaten o.ä. abgreifen zu können und geben dann irgendwann frustriert auf, wenn sich herausstellt, dass der Typ nur Solitär spielen möchte.

Ich muss jetzt sagen, dass ich bis auf die Basics mit Windows gar nicht soo bewandert bin und schon seit einem Jahrzehnt ausschließlich Linux benutze. Von daher wollte ich fragen, was denn so die gängigsten Praktiken sind, um zu gucken, ob das System irgendwie kompromittiert sein könnte oder irgendetwas Suspektes aufgespielt wurde?
