  • you forgot linux as an alternative to windows and mac;)

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • my laptop probably has very similar specs to your laptop. also, windows just uses more computing resources than linux in general.

    i dont care about if its few seconds faster at booting or has few percents more resources availabe after hours of configuring.

    all i need for my apprenticeship is just a windows laptop to work with office365 and a few specific apps, which dont need full resources. but it has to be windows because of domain policy from ADDS.

    my apprentice will end in a few weeks and since i wont need these apps anymore tomorrow in a week, ill delete the windows partitions from my laptop.

    id appreciate you helping me and others with articles how to get a bit faster windows system, if id asked for it, but i didnt.

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • i love that comment😂

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • my laptop is pretty good, its just windows using much resources. yeah i'd be able to but i only use it like 3h per week for one buggy app. its not worth it

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • similar here. im still 'new' to linux but have to use windows for my apprentice. also my father uses windows. so often i have to click a button multiple times, ads, or window not responding, ads, sometimes its slow af. did I already mention ads?

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • But does this also work for saved locations and not only the location of the device? Since the device location won't be the car location most of the time, I need the saved location synced and displayed, not the device location.

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • Thanks for the reply! Although Mapstr wasn't built for my use case, it provides all the features I need, thanks. I can create multiple locations and give them a tag, and they automatically get shared to others. I'll test this app in the following days/ weeks and hope it is what I was searching for.

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • On Owntracks I only see the option for sharing the coordinates. They don't get displayed on the map with an icon or something similar. I have to manually put the coordinates in google maps to see the location

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • I have 2 sharing options: via Link or file. But I need a sharing option where I don't have to manually create and send to others.

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • Ohh that sounds great since I want to set up a nextcloud server anyway in the near future. I searched in the app marketplace of nextcloud for an app but haven't found anything matching...

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • There wasn't an app called osmplus, but OsmAnd. It is kind of what I searched, except I haven't found a feature for sharing with my family. But thanks for your reply, it is the best app I tried so far.

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?
  • Thanks for your reply!

    ATAK may be a nice piece of software but the wrong app for my use case. It offers too many features I won't need, and the setup for it to work is probably too complicated.

    I looked into Owntracks (just the app, haven't installed the server yet) and it looks more of what I was looking for. I tested the list of locations, but the location only gets displayed as coordinates and not on the map. Eventually, I will see some more features when having a server, but idk. Is there like a public server, so I can play around before putting too much time in installing the server?

  • Android App for tagging locations on a map?

    I'm searching an android app to mark the locations of multiple parked cars. It should be possible to mark different cars somehow to identify them. It would also be cool if there is a feature to share the location with someone on another devica (like a sync between users, NOT copy of coordinates or link on maps

    In other words, I need an app to tag multiple locations on a map. It doesn't require to be designed for parked car locations. The app must have these features:

    • GPS Tracker with map
    • support to tag multiple locations
      • mark them somehow uniquely (like note, category, color, icon, ...) The following features would be nice to have:
    • sync with other devices, for example family
    • history of locations
    • set date/time since location is active (can be timestamp)

    I'm ok with paying/ ads or require to self host.

    Recommended GUI desktop applications for compressing and converting files (PDFs and images)?
  • for images, i use squoosh.app. it is a webapplication and not a desktop app. it can compress, convert & resize various image types. it is opensource and running offline (locally on your computer). github

  • Living life on the edge
  • I like to tell IT newbies in their first year apprentice that sudo rm -fr / removes the french language from the root, since in Swiss Windows, french comes as second keyboard layout and sometimes you accidentally switch and nobody likes it.

    Somethimes their first linux is a VM, lucky them, but not always:)

  • My change to the Fediversa

    After i joined the Fediverse, i deleted my accounts on Reddit, Twitter & Facebook a few days later. Yesterday, i deleted TikTok too and i will delete Instagram more or less soon. I hope some friends will change to the Fedi until then.

    Ive had enough of all the ads and people just want fame. Make Social Media better!
