Microsoft has gone full obnoxious with "Upgrade your plan" in Office. The button doesn't go away and will drown out everything else in Word, including the name of the file you're editing. If you needed evidence MSFT is panicked over retail Copilot sales, this is pretty compelling evidence.

using Ivanti VPN with 2FA on Linux is such a pain. Since the last update the AUR package isn't working for me anymore and on Fedora there are dependencies that do not even exist anymore (webkit2gtk3). Sadly there is no alternative at work in sight yet

I really wish for universities ditching Microsoft for open source alternatives. Problem remains, that Microsoft makes the licenses for student accounts provided by the universities free. Therefore it is much cheaper to stay with Microsoft and an out-of-the-box working system like M365

Garuda Linux Draws a Line on Age Verification as Arch Stays Keeps Mum

Garuda has taken an official stance on the age verification question, while Arch Linux is silent.

I keep getting surprised by our friends from over the big water. Like it is not yet another war but just a big F for every internet user. The next big F besides the age verification OS stuff ofc. But if EU wants to step back from US-Tech we are the evil ones, right. heise.de/-11222049

The USA will only allow routers manufactured in the country for consumers from now on. However, such models do not exist.

Worried Europe is too reliant on US tech? Our data shows you’re likely in the majority. Surveying 3,000 people in the UK 🇬🇧, Germany 🇩🇪, and France 🇫🇷, we found that 8 out of 10 consumers are concerned about US tech dependence. 🇺🇸 Let's dig into our findings... 1/11

We need more such people! 🤗 🐧

The first picture shows two beings hugging; the giant white dog is called "Linux", the human is called "new users".

The second picture shows an older person smirking; they are called "Veteran Linux users who are just happy that more people are appreciating it."

Since the AURs are down again, what are valid, easy to use OS alternatives? OpenSuse, Fedora, Void? Any other suggestions?

I finished writing my last paper before I can start with my Bachelor's thesis. I wrote and formatted the whole paper in #LibreOffice. 10/10 as easy to work with as Word/M365 or whatever you call it. Not missing any functionalities, highly recommend!

since I broke a rib I have now plenty of time to reinstall my gaiming pc. @cachyos.org with hyprland works great! I don't know how but it is even faster and "smoother" than Nobara with my Nvidia GPU 10/10 would highly recommend

As an avid Guild Wars 2 player, i know a lot of players like the QoL you get from BlishHUD. However BlishHUD has issues on linux, but you can get ArcDPS, Radial Menu and Markers working on Linux! I have written a guide for that here: universal-blue.discourse.group/t/a-guide-to...
