Wow, that's why they got dropped?

I do a lot of work with CSV files and LibreCalc is so much better for them. You can actually tell it how to delimit the file and to put quotations around each field.

Some programs actually advise against using excel if you're going to work on a CSV to upload into the program, which is funny considering it's meant to be the industry standard.

P. S. For anyone that would like to use LibreOffice at work, download portableapps and get it from there. It's so portable it can get around IT administration requirements

I thought VS was one of the few god m$ apps. What do you recommend as a script editor instead?

I hated Facebook for doing this and fought for years to use an alternative. I finally gave up and used regular messenger when they finally killed off Messenger Lite

I didn't mention this in the main post but teams used to scale down and work fine on mobile previously.

And is there any reason a company as big as m$ couldn't support a mobile version of teams?

Teams used to work in the browser and doesn't now.

Other m$ apps scale down on mobile browser fine, like outlook. The web version looks just like the app.

M$ are one of the biggest companies in the world, they could easily support responsive design in teams if they wanted to.

This is all a push too get you to use the teams app when the browser version worked fine previously

It will probably get replaced by generative AI slop soon so middle managers don't need to pay anyone

 

Of course it looks like shit though. It doesn't size to your screen, it looks like normal teams but really small.

Outlook works in the browser fine, and maybe I don't want to have teams on my personal phone but occasionally want to check things

Thanks. I'll give that a go because that's the only issue I have with games now

The main problem was Siege with my friends over lockdown. Even on the lowest settings my framerate would drop whenshootouts happened on screen.

I hooked it up to the TV recently and got through Pseudoregalia fine. It would handle any modern 2D or basic 3D game alright.

I also tried Art of Rally, and whilst it works, I had to turn all the settings down. That is such a beautiful game that low settings don't do it justice

I'll have to hunt around for it. MyAbandonWare only has the windows version, thanks for the tip

If you want to play it and get really desperate you could try a VM running 95 or 98 but that's a lot of setup

I figure since WINE is already faking being windows, it's easier to fake what type of Windows it is. By comparison, Windows has a lot of it's own problems

 

Back around 2020 or so I wanted to play old games because I only had an underpowered laptop that could barely play modern games.

One I downloaded off MyAbandonWare was this shooter from 2003 called Devastation. It's alright, but more I played it when I was younger and always wondered what happened to it.

On my old laptop it always crashed on startup and I just couldn't get it working. I could open the level editor and that was about it.

Recently I downloaded it again onto a new laptop I put Linux on and tried a few different configurations. I heard how WINE can be better than Windows for old software so I decided to give it a shot.

Eventually I used Bottles with a gaming configuration set to Windows Xp.

I tried Devastation with that setup and it worked. I still have an issue with the game being in the top left corner and not taking up the full screen, but it's playable.

I have a top spec gaming PC now running Windows 10, but there are things this Thinkpad can do that my big PC can't.

 

First of all, yes it's a hentai game. You can believe it's for my girlfriend or not.

I asked her if she'd like a Steam Deck and she said it fits how she'd probably play games, but she wants to play a bunch of games she got off MangaGamer and she wants to make sure they'd work on the Deck.

I have a thinkpad running Fedora so we installed one through WINE to try it out. Everything is working but all the text are these squares for missing characters.

Is there any easy way to install fonts and characters for WINE, or will we need to look at something like the ROG Ally instead?

 
 
 
 

IDK, just a vibe I'm getting. I have a feeling the back story to this world is a lot more twisted than you'd initially think.

Has anyone noticed this too? Do you think there's more to the DLC than just a big tree and a cosmic egg?

 

I've been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive.

Nothing from the listicles on the internet or the programs in flatpak have worked for me as well as Rufus on Windows.

What have you used that's worked well? Or, could I run Rufus on my linux machine with WINE?

 

I've been using SwiftKey since before the Microsoft acquisition, but now I want to move on because it's pushing copilot.

What do you recommend? I'm fine with the play store or F-droid, and I'll pay for a good one if necessary
