The account did appear to be banned on Wednesday and Thursday. However, late Thursday afternoon Eastern Time, Owda’s account appeared to be restored, but restricted. Some content seemed to not be available, and a banner appeared at the top of her feed that read: “Posts that some may find uncomfortable are unavailable.”

The account is back evidently.

That looks very intriguing and useful. Thank you.

Working in Remote Desktop for an extended amount of time is no fun. It’s possible, but you need the right version of windows and office to do that.

I wouldn’t want to rely on complex solutions like that for an essential for work. Now you have to administrate your local computer and the remote server. You also rely on a bunch of things going right to be able to use it from on the go: Internet connection on the go that doesn’t filter Remote Desktop, Home Internet connection, proxmox configuration and updates being okay. If you want to add a VPN on top, you get more possible failure points

So run a windows VM directly on your Linux machine. No need to make it more complicated. At least then you don’t depend on a working internet connection.

Alternatively try to run MS Word using WINE on Linux. This might work or break randomly.

If you don’t want to buy a license for office or windows use these scripts.

You really seem to need MS Office. It’s not necessary to make your life harder by building complex solutions. Run windows if it makes your life easier.

Other alternative: buy an Apple device and run MS Office for Mac. That’s the only reliable way to use it without windows.

Statcounter is running on more than a million websites. They track user metadata across these websites.

While this doesn’t give you absolute numbers for everything, it should be enough to notice trends.

Their methodology is on their website.

It’s good enough for shovelware alredy.

They hated the frog, because it told the truth.

The excellent answer by @[email protected] already presented the cool features of the file system. There are a bunch of other interesting features found throughout the OS.

Pervasive multithreading and multitasking makes Haiku very reactive and fast, even under load. Back when BeOS came out, the killer demo was playing several videos simultaneously without stutter. This is of course less impressive today, but you can fell this all over the OS when using it.

Window management has two really cool features called Stack and Tile. Enabling you to stick windows together, so they move as one. On top of that you can put several windows from different applications together into one tabbed window bar . It’s super cool and unique.

The biggest difference when using it compared to the big desktop operating systems today is that it gets out of your way and just lets you do things. Using it will make you realize how cumbersome the current desktop has become. Of course there are some security downsides, as there’s no pervasive sandboxing, rights management, and so on.

Running on real hardware can be difficult because of a lack of drivers. I highly recommend trying it in a VM (VirtualBox, qemy, UTM) first. The increasing number of ports (mostly FOSS stuff you know from Linux) make this operating system actually practically usable. The ports don’t take advantage of the Haiku specific features, but are great overall. Especially the KDE apps are a good fit.

Some people say it’s ready to be a daily driver even it’s still in beta, others say it’s what Linux used to be .

All of these features work on Haiku OS.

GNU/HURD is having actual releases and distros nowadays.

https://www.haiku-os.org/ is the most fun I‘ve had with an OS in along time.

Good system. I really like the practical call to action.

You could even extend it with half stars to a 6 star system equivalent.

Lots of rating systems gain an inflation of the hightest grades.

They fly?

it demonstrates what real power is. You can get away with things regular people can’t.

Babylon 5 was on tv around the same time. Farscape as well.

The short and bloodless battle could have been sold better. In a TNG episode someone (Worf) would have mentioned some ancient Klingon marital ritual of ritual combat. Even better when it’s a story from Klingon mythology. Then they could call a P‘Qouth and duke it out for a symbolic minute.

Helping people by force to save them from death is something that’s often done IRL, e.g. evacuations, suicide watch. Saving endangered species is a goal of many people and countries today. Saving an extraterrestrial sapient species and culture against their will is an easy case to make.

Sensible post, besides the glorification of the Ottoman Empire. The brutality and corruption of the Ottomans are the reason the Middle East and to a lesser extent the Balkans are such a shitshow.

Ritual combat is a thing.

Ritual combat is something Klingons have a lot of cultural understanding and respect for. This fits right in.

Don’t expect too much. It’s corny with very simple preachy messaging. The writing is cheesy and filled with sloppy humor. The show plays everything very safe.

I do have to say though, that episode 3 was okay and 4 approaching good. The first two were a boring pandering fest.
