It’s ok to do a partial quote. Leave out the dot.

SMB is the linux version of Windows File Sharing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) It is rather easy to use. Check out the manual, it is long but actually good. On linux, use smbclient to mount a remote share. It’s also quite easy to set up servers that can be accessed from both Windows and Linux, with lots of options on how to handle/simplify permissions.

CIFS is something similar that seems to be faster, but I’ve only used it as a client. On Windows, WinSCP works great with it. On linux you can use mount CIFS remote directories locally like this: mount -t cifs //HOSTNAME/REMOTEPATH LOCALPATH -o username=USERNAME,domain=DOMAIN.

Ask google or a good LLM for the details on this stuff :)

I use sshfs and smb and cifs

How did this come to be?

Microsoft is doing this today. I can’t link it because I’m on mobile. It is in dotnet. It is not going well :)

No. If it does not work you can’t be sure if it is your fault or the device is broken. This will lead to support costs for the manufacturer

Nice idea. I’ve had a look and it appears to be embedded in a lot of Qt code that is hard for me to follow and/or use in dotnet :/

It seems this function is missing in MAUI on linux yet :/

To be fair, I think there are almost more GUI frameworks specifically for dotnet on Windows, each of which has been “the standard that everyone should follow” for a year or two, than there are DEs for linux. It’s ridiculous how often Microsoft changes their mind.

scrot does not seems to work on wayland, but it looks very nice for X11. I’ve also found Flameshot, which claims to work on KDE wayland and, albeit with a forced confirmation dialog, on gnome wayland. I’ll update my post if I tested these tools more thoroughly.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply!

One factor is German history with Stasi und ww2 fascism. We like increased independence and privacy, so lemmy rather than Facebook

That is a big one

In Serious Sam there was a secret you could only reach by starting running backwards while the level was still loading

So a full car battery goes to 20% in just 4 days??

How did this come to be? Did you seek it? What issues did arise?

Not to be a dick but i think the ss was more like private militia. They famously had beef with the classic military. Iirc

I use this. It works nicely with gog and steam

No. You must acknowledge it. When i was 18 i also voted for a party in good faith. A few years later i learned that they are absolute assholes and should be in jail. I simply didn’t understand the concepts and motives before.

What happened to ankor?
