Ur Vi Bilägare 16/22; långtest. Jag not 2 saker om #MG: "Alla tänkbara säkerhetssystem erbjuds, på papperet. I verkligheten är filhållningssystemet att betrakta som trafikfarligt då det med full kraft vill styra ekipaget dit bilen anser vara mitt i filen, oavsett trafiksituation. [...] Där framkom att Marvel kontaktar en kinesiskt server vid varje körning. Exakt vilken information som skickas vet vi inte då den är krypterad. Att MG, via moderbolaget SAIC, ägs till hälften av kinesiska staten..."

Distrohopping. On my ThinkPad T430s I replaced elementary with LMDE 5. On same drive I also have Debian 11 Xfce and Mint 21.1 Cinnamon, and on a separate drive Windows 10. I managed to do the installation without messing up anything else on the machine! I want to explore to get a feeling how LMDE 5 (Mint based on Debian) is compared to Mint 21 (based on Ubuntu9, comparing with both on Cinnamon desktop. #LMDE #LinuxMint #Linux #OpenSource #FOSS #distrohopping
"Yttrandefrihetsexperten Nils Funcke riktar hård kritik mot statsminister Ulf Kristerssons fördömande av dockprotesten mot Erdogan.

When people bring me crappy windows laptops and ask if I can make it faster and actually usable.
I say yes and take out my #linuxmint USB drive and "fix it" for free.
People are always amazed and happy. Even muggles can use #linux, I promise.
That said, if you're new to physical music media, I highly recommend starting with CDs.
Why? Because the value is unparalleled.
Thrift stores are selling them for $1/each -- sometimes even less.
Do the math. If one CD contains 12 songs, that's pennies for a song.
Which you can then rip to FLAC, store on your computer or DAP.
And owning a copy on optical disc -- with artwork! -- isn't bad either!

Finland has closely watched the Russian troll factory's efforts to create chaos in free democracies. We now educate our children to recognize #misinformation and rank #1 in our ability to resist it.
I wish the Americans would do the same.
I *love* watching these old-school technology videos. Check out this great one from the archives, all about #unix from Bell Labs!

You know everything we're supposed to do with passwords.
Most people don't do it. It's not your fault. The system is broken.
Kill passwords. New "passkeys" tech can help. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/10/lastpass-breach-kill-passwords/
Of unknown reason, I waited a month to upgrade my #digiKam software to the new 7.9.0 release. I am still happy I moved over to digiKam, primarily as photo catalog manager, but I can also use it for editing etcetera. I intend to use eg #RawTherapee and #GIMP in addition, maybe more (now also #AfterShot). (my migration in Swedish: https://www.hemrin.com/business-blog/365-byta-fotokatalogprogram-till-digikam-fran-photoshop-elements-och-lightroom-classic) The latest release: https://www.digikam.org/news/2022-12-05-7.9.0_release_announcement/ #OpenSource #FOSS #Photography
