DACH - Deutschsprachige Community für Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz@feddit.org•Warum kann es ohne radikale Selbstkritik von Akademikern keine Gerechtigkeit geben? (RHI Talk 2025)English
1·7 hours agoEs geht beim Begriff Akademiker hier um ein bestimmtes Milieu und deren Habitus. Diese gesellschaftliche Elite ist tonangebend in Medien, politischem Diskurs, Kultur und Gesellschaft.
BWLer und Ingenieure mit Bachelor sind da nicht zentral.
Es gibt bei dem Thema auch Überschneidungen mit den Handwerkern, die Rechts wählen statt SPD. Die „Altparteien” und „linksgrün-versiffte” Elite werden als weltfremd und ideologisch wahrgenommen. Wagenknechts These von der Lifestyle Linken und traditionellen Linken hat ähnliche Thesen.
Akademiker stellen in vielen Bereichen, insbesondere staatsnahen, die Elite und Führung. Der Aufstieg der AfD und die gesellschaftliche Spaltung sind auch Folge ihres Versagens über Jahrzehnte.
Downvote should not be a disagreement button.
Churn is an issue you mentioned.
I was specifically thinking about men who have sex with men. Grindr and similar platforms are very successful. Most of it is about casual sex between promiscuous men. They are also a great target group otherwise. Travel between gay metropolises is common as. Pride tourism is big.
Local network effect is enough, even when it’s restricted to a specific demographic or subculture. Once a dating platform grabs a hold in a location and demographic, it can extend from there.
Of course to keep a project like this running, you need a way to pay for hosting and development.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS wordEnglish
2·1 day agoWorking 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.

The slight difference in looks isn’t what’s stopping people.
Gnome 3 seems to be designed for touch screens, but it rarely is used with one.
The distro matters because some have better defaults for one DE over another.
The downside of KDE is the millions of options and features. It can get in the way and makes it a little harder to learn.
That said. KDE is pretty great and currently my favorite.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Where to go now since Linux is mainstreamEnglish
4·2 days agoThe excellent answer by @bartydecanter@lemmy.sdf.org 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 .





That looks very intriguing and useful. Thank you.
