Mmm… I added several IT news, and regular news sites. National and international.

Sometimes feed offenders like reuters don’t work (without workarounds) but the majority offers their all or topic centric feeds just like that.

Just add sites (by top level domain) that you use to read. You would be surprised how many provide feeds and even more surprised how fast your feed reader gets overwhelmingly filled 😅

The project looks nice and RSS Aggregators are the way to go.

I switched to a file based (cloud storage) syncing app like News Explorer a while ago. Sometimes less infrastructure involved is a blessing.

What speaks against soft linking with for example GNU stow?

In my experience, there are no silly reasons. Most people tend to stick to what they’re familiar with and not to experiment. And that is just fine.

On the other hand there are also other people eager to learn something new. Take your time and invest your energy in them. Show them around. It is a win:win.

mailbox.org works for me

Kay, kay. We’re tooting the same horn. Let’s get back to enjoy our unity on that one.

Try again and read the post you were answering too in the first place.

By luck you’ll find the only, which wasn’t mentioned by the originating post (original_charles) or my plus one post, but was introduced by the illusionist.

Nobody wrote just or only for starters. It is just darn easy for beginners and somewhat familiar for people switching.

You basically never outgrow it, and naturally you can always head over to experiment with other distros (e.g. CachyOS).

Second linux mint for starters.

Hell yea 🙂

I’m repeating what was in my German valid, and lawful contract and is part of the law: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesetz_über_Arbeitnehmererfindungen

That’s what they use to say here, too.

Still inventions and „creations“ while employed have their own law and regulation. I don’t know them in detail, but I understand that it can be fuzzy and complicated.

Wettbewerbsverbot is yet another issue, when you switch to a competitor.

Say I’m programming fullstack for my employer and start a Web App as hobby. How do I prove that this is not based on training my employer paid for? If it is in a totally unrelated field it would be easier.

My old contract says otherwise. The contract was generous enough to allow me to invent something in totally unrelated fields. Question would be how to proof that the work didn’t enable me to invent that stuff.

Sadly not the way it works, in Germany. The employer can argue that the employment enabled you technically to invent something or to build something (Germany).

EDIT: Emphasized again, that I talk about the situation in Germany. Guys… laws differ in countries and we got a own law that rules on that topic.

Yea. It‘s affected, too.

I sync using jottacloud (given that I use the database on my smartphone in a read only fashion)

There is a CLI for linux.

See, I run a stripped Windows for playing games that don’t run under linux. I update it regularly and nothing intrusive was re-added by updates. The other systems I use are linux and macOS, with each OS having its purpose.

In acknowledge that Linux is not intrusive and that you have to have PiHoles and other DNS sinkholes for a basic protection, which is hard for regular people. But in the end you have to look at peoples needs and if somebody insists he needs Windows, and you are knowledgeable in IT stuff, make it as secure and clutter free as possible.

There are some good tools to create stripped ISOs and to adjust running installations.
