Help with Office docs + Linux
  • Actually Office on Wine is in a pretty usable state so maybe you could give it a try. What does not work (or didn't work the last time I tried, like 2 years ago), was the connection to OneDrive and stuff. So you couldn't work collaboratively.

    But otherwise everything worked just fine, just as it did on Windows. One more caveat though, VBA is not available in Excel, in case you need that.

  • Top duo removed from office after querying FIA president’s plan for funds
  • Bertrand Badré, chairman of the committee, and Tom Purves were terminated last summer three days after Badré raised the issue. Badré, a former managing director of the World Bank, and Purves, the former chief executive of Rolls-Royce and BMW, had been working for the FIA on a pro-bono basis.

    am i right in that it happened a year ago already, but the story's just surfacing now?

  • Dual-booting as an intermediate phase for fully switching OSs
  • yes, no problem at all. as long as you're careful about partitioning when you're installing the second distro (it should be able to do that automatically, if not, you'll need to identify the EFI partition manually) it won't be a problem. you can afterwards just remove the distro you no longer want. after that, you just gotta update grub so it can remove the no longer existant from it's os table and you're good to go again.

  • Official: Cadillac enters Formula 1
  • Veeeery interesting how they went from "noooo 100% no they can fuck themselves" to "yes yes its okay" in some weeks. Suuuure thing it's only coincidence that the DOJ started the investigation and allegedly found the group chat of the team chefs.

    Finally. It needed to happen.

  • McLaren admits F1 has been in 'the era of Max Verstappen' - Motorsport Week
  • from https://www.grammarbook.com/blog/verbs/have-been-vs-has-been-vs-had-been/

    The present perfect progressive expresses an ongoing activity that started in the past and continues into the present.

    apparently you got a wrong definition, in fact "has been" implies that is was happening in the past and is still happening in the present.

    "had been" would be the alternative that defines an activity that happened in the past, in a specific time frame, and is not happening anymore.

    sorry, don't want to sound dogmatic here. i'm also no english native speaker was just curious. but i can understand that it sounds a little like it's over.

  • Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services!
  • 1-2 seconds would be absolutely fine with me, even like 10 seconds would be tolerable.. Idk, that sounds really interesting, a lot of people have been saying that it appears to be a problem on my side. Maybe I'll give it a try again in some future, but now, unfurtuntately, I'm kind of locked into the Apple ecosystem again.. But thanks for that insight!

  • Unheard Charles Leclerc X-rated radio rant after losing Las Vegas podium to Sainz
  • I see how Ferrari didn’t help him at all, and Carlos not being the most obedient when it came to team "orders" today, but Leclerc really doesn’t have anything to complain about but himself and his pace. Yeah, the team could’ve helped him more, but let’s not forget that for 1/3 of the race he was in a perfect position to just overtake Sainz if he would’ve had the speed. On the other side, Sainz overtook him twice..

  • Red Bull shareholders to decide on Perez's future after Abu Dhabi GP
  • finally the big story arc completes and my boy ric is back in an RB

    but to be honest: i think they will and need to ask for sainz. he is and was in a great form, has good experience, and is (if the media speculation about him having an exit clause that he can leave if one of the big three teams ask him is true) a free agent.

  • A thought just hit me -- "Windows = The HOA of operating systems"
  • it's incredible how it went down. apple also did steps into this direction, but way slower and smaller steps at least (am still mainly a macos user). i still use windows 10 ltsc enterprise when i need it, and i am extremely happy with it. if microsoft would take this version, and try to build from there and, finally, actually improve the core operating system instead of adding some bells and whistles where no one wants it, i would probably even use it more (although probably never as a main driver). but seeing the direction windows is headed towards, i will probably use win 10 ltsc until it's support ends (which is in about 5 years), and then say goodbye for ever, hopefully.

  • Red Bull shareholders to decide on Perez's future after Abu Dhabi GP
  • i think it's about the market in south america. saw multiple comments on reddit explaining it like this: RB doesn't care a lot about the WCC, they would obv like it, but the WDC is their main target. also makes sense, as this is the thing that is publicly most known and advertised with. RB still won the WDC and has a big market to successfully advertise in with perez in south america. they actually got what they wanted. and i kinda believe it to be the reason. i mean, they are not dumb, they know, perspective and WCC-wise, that Perez is not the option.

  • Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services!
  • Don't wanna crash the party, but I tried the 3a and recently the 6a with Graphene, and while everything else worked really well, Location actually didn't work at all. Everytime when I wanted to get my location, I needed to wait about 5-15 minutes for it to find it. This was actually one of the reasons to not use it as a daily driver.

  • Installed #GrapheneOS several days ago on my Pixel 8. It works great without any Google services!
  • I wanna know that too! I actually found a lot of app notifications working, but some not and also some constantly told me "This app doesn't work without GPS" while running perfectly fine, apart from that message.

    I did not install anything to replace GPS, so something must work out of the box there. Installed most of the app via Aurora Store from FDroid
