Whelp, even less reason to upgrade to Windows 11 when Windows 10 is retired. Microsoft doing its best to convince me to switch to Linux full-time.

Probably, though I encounter the same issue with other office suites too.

The main issue I run into is that even when I use a standard format like ODF, sending a document to someone using a different office suite often leads to various formatting breaking. It's to the point that if I know the person I'm sending the document to, isn't going to be editing it, I send it as a PDF.

I felt deceived when Microsoft added ODF file support, only for formatting to still break when exporting/importing from another suite. What was the point if I'd get the same results as loading a DOCX in Libre Office?

DisplayPort supports HDCP as well though?

[–] jayandp 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There are DisplayPort to HDMI adapters. Like this one:

None of the adapters seem to support VRR though, for whatever reason.

They aren't using ActivityPub, what Mastodon and Lemmy use, they're using their own new protocol called AT (Authenticated Transfer). So it's less that they don't plan on federating with anybody else, and more that there's nobody to federate with. Maybe somebody else might pickup AT in the future, but AT is still a work in progress and there isn't a lot of incentive for anybody to do so yet.

They added the Nix directory in SteamOS 3.5 and linked it to the User partition, so now Nix survives SteamOS updates without any workarounds, which is part of why I tried using it.

In the US at least, it's one of the bigger VOD/PVOD services, where you can buy and rent movies and TV shows. It also integrates with MoviesAnywhere, a service that lets you sync Disney, WB, Sony, and Universal movie purchases between multiple VOD/PVOD services like Vudu, ITunes, Amazon, Google, etc.

Yeah, if it wasn't for my niche needs and desires of using my SteamDeck without touching the system partition, I probably wouldn't have messed with Nix because of how much of a confusing mess of modes and switches there are, and I've used terminal based package managers for years. It's very far from the simple "it just works" of Flatpaks.

They also bought Kobo, a Kindle competitor that I actually like. (Partially because you can still easily remove their DRM).

offered to have companies make everything from plush Hobbes toys

Admit it though, we all would have wanted a Hobbes plushy.

Same, except I have my keys on a carabiner and they're either hanging on my bed, on my belt loop, or in my ignition.
