It’s remarkable that you took the time to write this essay just to reply to that post. Thank you for the effort and your insights, it was very interesting to read and I’m glad I stumbled across it!

I would avoid it, if you care at all about availability and downtime. The result will probably not be great, you need to ensure the server side gets enough resources under load, and setting it up may require constant restarts if things aren’t immediately working as expected.

Nonetheless, here is a link where someone did essentially exactly that on NixOS: https://astrid.tech/2022/09/22/0/nixos-gpu-vfio/

A truly inspiring bench design, it got it all: A huge space to place ads, for life would be in vain without advertisements. Reinforced mountings to make sure no one carries them away. And of course the armrests that surely only exist, so good, law-abiding citizens can relax more comfortably and totally aren’t a some incompetent politician’s idea of what problem solving looks like.

Und Zack, schon ist die CDU die progressivere und relativ gesehen linke Partei, in der Tat ein Fiebertraum

They are a lot more likely to think about Windows, as they actively decided to avoid using it by moving to Linux. That is in stark contrast to the subset of Windows users that would never give it a second thought, as they are unaware of what an operating system even is, nevermind having an overview of which ones exist and what their respective advantages may be.

As others have mentioned, the primary issue here are the hardware requirements for Windows 11. The result are millions of PCs (I guess, definitely a lot though) that are fully functional from a technical point of view, but cannot run Windows 11 and should not run any other Windows due to the security implications of running unpatched software.

Der originale Kommentar bezog sich auf eine „vergütete“ Arbeitszeit, das habe ich jetzt als Vorschlag aufgefasst, so zu arbeiten als wäre sie vergütet und dafür pauschal weniger zu bekommen. Bei festem Stundenlohn bleibt man dann also insgesamt 8h und arbeitet davon nur 7,5h tatsächlich, dementsprechend gäbe das in dem Setting auch nur 15/16tel des ursprünglichen Gehalts.

Kann man so oder so lesen, vermutlich habe ich es falschrum interpretiert.

Tendenziell eher 15/16tel

Das glaube ich gerne, dass das an manchen Stellen beim Lesen weh tut

Maybe there should be a story time channel, if there isn’t one already, I’d generally love to read more of these kinds of experiences

KA ob das bei Wort jetzt ein Ding ist, aber eine Versionsbezeichnung der Form JJMM ist recht üblich, häufig mit einer neuen größeren Version aller sechs Monate.

I don’t think so, F-Droid should not be viewed as a play store replacement for the masses. I would instead consider it an opinionated store / repository for apps that have to fulfil some pretty strict criteria. This makes it a great resource, and a good complementary resource, because that allows them to be picky and stick to their values. And it enables people that don’t mind the trade-offs to restrict themselves to F-Droid without having to research every app themselves, if they want to.

Most general users would hate the idea of dealing with multiple app stores, but I think some fragmentation like this would have some benefits as well. Note, for example, that F-Droid does not focus on quality of apps: There are lots of little projects that maybe don’t look super polished or are in early development, etc., and that is great. But there could just as well be another App Store focusing exclusively on high quality, feature-rich apps, while taking a more lenient stance on open source code and it being free. Or whatever kind of focus you want to place.

Then again, this could be achieved with a good search function and filters as well. In the end, what F-Droid offers is more choice a better place for apps that Google decided to ban from their play store for strategic reasons.
