Is there a way to download a Windows.iso anonymously?
  • To be honest it wouldn’t even let me download it off a vpn, on a different OS that hadn’t connected to a vpn, or in a different browser.

    Had to find somewhere other than the Microsoft site to get one.

  • Shoppers prefer 'vegan' food labels to 'confusing' plant-based terms, according to new survey
  • To be fair I was told by a dietician that a lot of companies don’t use the vegan logo in the uk because in order to do so they must be certified by the vegan society (name?) which is expensive.

    Sounded a bit like a troll toll.

    There should be an industry standard “vegan friendly” or other such label that doesn’t require giving loads of money to an organisation to use.

  • Linux Distro for Running on a Macbook for Work
  • I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!

    I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.

  • Struggling database company MariaDB could be taken private in $37M deal
  • MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter My,[7] and "SQL".

    My Widenius-SQL 😂

  • Struggling database company MariaDB could be taken private in $37M deal
  • Meh, time for another fork.

    To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.

    When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

  • Any “gotchas” with the Murena Fairphone 5?

    Murena offer a degoogled /e/os version of the fairphone 5.

    I’m wondering if there are any catches… eg

    • have google privacy issues been replaced with murena ones?
    • would we still expect the 8-10 years of updates?
    • would there be any driver issues eg worse camera/face unlock/fingerprint experience?

    Also if anyone has had one (murena or stock) since launch, how is it working out?

    Awesome tool for backing up game saves!

    GitHub - mtkennerly/ludusavi: Backup tool for PC game saves

    After too much time spent on google I finally found this lightweight GUI + CLI tool that finds locally installed games (yes including non-steam games running under proton) and thought I'd spread the gospel!

    Combeined with something like dropbox/onedrive/nextcloud, or rsync/borg/syncthing etc you've got yourself cloud backups too.

    Zero configuration involved so far on my Steam Deck which is nice as well.

    Forgive me if it's old news ☺️

    Just picked up DOOM Eternal (2020) for $5 on eBay

    Just came across this on an old wish list, had completely forgotten about it!

    Think I mustn’t have fancied paying full whack at the time as I wasn’t interested in the multiplayer or the dlc hype etc (I know, I know).

    Anyway well worth a couple of bucks and saves the many now-unloved copies out there becoming trash so thought I’d share in case anyone else missed out!

    Recommendations for notes apps that sync with IMAP

    Looking for a new notes app that will sync with the notes that are stored with my email provider eg gmail and custom email provider.

    Similar to how the Apple notes apps work, but ideally cross platform (osx/win/Ubuntu).

    I’ve noticed there are lots of notes apps that use their own formats and data sources, but struggling to find something that will work without having to host another service or rely on Onedrive/Google/iCloud etc.

    Any recommendations gratefully received!
