It's not just office, SH and many other parts of the German government have been slowly replacing the entire O365 suite with OpenDesk, which is an open source product based on Matrix, Jitsi, LibreOffice, and a few other tools.

The goal is to have a fully integrated solution for calender, chat, calls, documents, cloud storage, etc.

My employer is developing parts of that solution and we recently switched our internal communication over to it, and tbh, it's working really well.

Now is the perfect point in time to do it, with the GDPR ruling regarding O365 and Microsoft fumbling the migration between old teams and new teams.

That assumes you're on some VPS with a hardware firewall in front.

Often enough you're on a dedicated server that's directly exposed to the internet, with those iptables rules being the only thing standing between your services and the internet.

What you're describing used to be right under X11, but under Wayland the compositor handles all rendering itself. For Gnome that's mutter, which is also maintained by the gnome project.

Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.

Considering that reading source code can take a long time

You'll get faster over time, until reading code is faster than reading documentation, as code will always represent what's truly happening, while docs are frequently outdated.

In a language the user isn't familiar with

If you're not that familiar with the language, it's likely you won't be contributing to the project. Open source projects usually to have quite limited resources, so they tend to optimize docs and dev UX for people who are likely to contribute.

Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.

If you can only have a good experience by installing malware, you don't have a good experience.

I really should finish building that nvidia jetson based hardware anticheat that'd allow anyone to cheat even in vanguard protected games with perfect accuracy for just ~150$. Ring 0 anticheat's only use is to spy on you and yet people will continue defending it until someone's proven just how useless it is.

With that, the Germans will have finally won /s

Even if it's blocked for the average user, it'd still be awesome if we could circumvent it with adb. I've used KDE Connect to access my phone remotely for a long time, and now that feature is useless.

The ICE's max speed depends on model and variies from 250km/h to 300km/h. These speeds can be reached on:

• Hannover-Würzburg (280km/h)
• Mannheim-Stuttgart (280km/h)
• Oebisfelde-Berlin (250km/h)
• Siegburg-Frankfurt (300km/h)
• Köln-Düren (250km/h)
• Rastatt-Offenburg & Schliengen-Haltingen (250km/h)
• Nürnberg-Ingolstadt (300km/h)
• Ebensfeld-Leipzig/Halle (300km/h)
• Wendlingen-Ulm (250km/h)

There are more of these tracks currently under construction:

• Stuttgart-Wendlingen (250km/h)
• Bashaide-Rastatt (250km/h)

And many more are currently in the planning stage:

• Hamm-Bielefeld (300km/h)
• Oebisfelde-Berlin (300km/h)
• Ulm-Augsburg (300km/h)
• Gelnhausen-Fulda (250km/h)
• Frankfurt-Mannhein (300km/h)
• Bielefeld-Hannover (300km/h)
• Nürnberg-Würzburg (300km/h)

The neat part about the fediverse is that no matter how badly behaved a dev may be, there'll be enough people to fix their behaviour and work around it. Look at mastodon, gorgon made a few questionable choices but glitch and all the other forks work around it and enough community servers exist that you could block mastodon.social and never miss a thing.

Just like with Lemmy there's already kbin and countless other alternatives that all integrate with each other and enough community servers.

But with browsers that's stopped being a thing a long time ago as the modern web is far too complex for small groups of indie devs to make their own browsers.
