A imagem mostra uma caneca de vidro transparente com uma ilustração de dois pinguins. O fundo da caneca é de cor marrom com vários corações brancos e vermelhos espalhados. Os pinguins são desenhados de forma cartoon, com um pinguim usando um chapéu vermelho e o outro com um laço preto. O pinguim com o chapéu tem a palavra "MEU" escrito em seu peito, enquanto o outro pinguim tem a palavra "PAR" escrito. A caneca está em uma prateleira de vidro, com outras canecas visíveis ao fundo, sugerindo que…

Some tips for debugging #Windows applications that do not start:
1. Run them via #wine. It can give you a useful error message (such as "this library is missing this symbol" rather than completely useless generic error code).
2. Wine has winedump tool that can be used to get information from DLLs and static libraries.
3. github.com/lucasg/Dependencies is a good replacement for Dependency Walker that runs on Wine.

Sidste uge har jeg, efter #EndOf10 lavede teenageren's laptop om til #linuxMint. Det var en sjov og lærerig rejse. Jeg var meget glad med resultatet. Teenageren var lidt bekymret at det lignede ikke alle andre..
Idag kommer svaret fra skolen at de kun stŸtte Windows og macOS 🤦‍♀️
I morgen tager jeg kontakt med IT-manden ift. #BigTech #DigitalSuverænitet osv.
Nogle gode anbefalinger eller resourcer i kampen imod status quo?

Billion dollar corporation and yet I cannot change the brightness of an HDR monitor. #windows is terrible.
I guess I can, I need to open the settings, open monitor settings, click the correct monitor with HDR enable, enter HDR settings, scroll to SDR brightness and then adjust the slider.

On KDE I can scroll the mouse wheel on the brightness icon in the plasma panel.

Kiedy uruchamiasz starego laptopa z #Windows, żeby odbębnić księgowość, i się trochę martwisz tą niedawną aktualizacją, co psuła SSD, bo nie jesteś na 100% pewien, czy dobrze zablokowałeś aktualizacje (bezpośrednio, z pomocą hacka na junction i poprzez zepsucie DNS). Ale dociera do ciebie, że przecież ten laptop nie ma SSD. 🤦

When you turn on your old #Windows laptop to do accounting, and you're slightly worried about that Windows Update SSD thing, because you're not 100% sure if you correctly blocked updates (explicitly, via the junction hack and by killing DNS). Then you realize this old laptop doesn't have a SSD. 🤦
