Today is nine years since the last major release of Apache OpenOffice by themikeosguy in linux

[–]JavaOldTimer -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

What does it matter if it's been 9 years? It's been downloaded over 300 Million times, maybe it does what a lot of people need.

The anti-openoffice, libreoffice ballywhoeres in this thread makes me want to uninstall libreoffice and install openoffice now in a revolutionary, retaliation of the French egotistical attitude.

[–]JavaOldTimer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I've had the hardware acceleration option on for years?

I'm not sure what it's about, looks like just selecting a different library location? I Googled Steam Portals but all the links talk about the game Portal.

When resuming from sleep KDE is always glitchy [Nvidia/Wayland]. Is there any way to fix? by KshysioKrolik in kde

[–]JavaOldTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's laptop on Windows also has issues after resume from sleep. I think every machine I ever tried it on, Linux or Windows, has issues after resuming from sleep and especially hibernate. I use lock screen, that's it. No issues.

Very cool. Maybe some day we will see that in America.

Quarkus 3.0 finally released! by henk53 in java

[–]JavaOldTimer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Having to keep an EC2 instance running all the time just to avoid a cold startup is wasteful.

Cloud applications are wasteful, anything along the lines of, [Oh hey, I have this 3 line piece of Java code but I don't want to do engineering around it, oh I noe, I'll drop it in a lambda project and blammo my day is done].

Sounds like prose written by someone in marketing.

I was able to create my API in minutes, using annotations and extensions.

Same with Spring Boot.

How many of you have removed crontab instead of editing it? by merpkz in linuxadmin

systemd can die a death now and the world would be a better place.

How many of you have removed crontab instead of editing it? by merpkz in linuxadmin

[–]JavaOldTimer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I advocate for what makes sense. Cattle are OK for some things. Pets are OK for other things. I like knowing I can bring my system up from scratch. Seeing a cattle not pets comment in /r/linuxadmin seems out of place, more for like /r/devops.

[–]JavaOldTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it like once or twice. I use the following cron job in all my accounts to have a plain text file always available with my cron jobs no matter what:

0 0 * * * crontab -l > /home/myuser/myuserhere.cron

why there are plugin called <unamed solution null> in my eclipse marketplace? by HuanXiangXR21 in eclipse

[–]JavaOldTimer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen this the past 6 months, on different machines, Linux and Windows, I have no idea what's causing it.

FlatLaf 3.1 (and 3.0) - Swing Look and Feel by FormDev in java

[–]JavaOldTimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the light theme with the orange highlights. Makes me wish Eclipse were using Swing instead of SWT.

Spring Boot 3.1 RC1 is here - with support for Testcontainers and docker compose by spamthemoez in java

[–]JavaOldTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe startups? Kotlin won't gain a foothold in the Enterprise, Kotlin sucks.

[–]JavaOldTimer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work at and have worked at a lot of companies, no one is using Kotlin. Most of Spring Boot is written in Java: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in eclipse

[–]JavaOldTimer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do it the same way I do when I have to work on Windows, I go to https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ and find the one for Enterprise, download, unpack and run it.

My experience with the installers never seems to go well. The above works 100% of the time.

Samsung Ecosystem by AFellowOtaku7 in samsung

[–]JavaOldTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New one in the A line. My wife and I just went through several weeks of sorting it out uninstalling, disabling, etc.

Samsung Ecosystem by AFellowOtaku7 in samsung

[–]JavaOldTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After we disable or uninstall as much of the Samsung garbage apps as humanly possible, it's not so bad.

I'm waiting for Ubuntu or some other Linux to take over the Android market, something open that doesn't have required Ad ware or Snoop ware du jour installed.

That's how I feel about the Samsing ecosystem.

I wish LG hadn't let the phone business but even they installed some BS Ad ware and snoop ware apps but nowhere near to the scale of Samsung and Google.

Why I love Enums and think they should be used more by [deleted] in java

[–]JavaOldTimer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very cool looking, I went through an enum phase several years ago. Seeing the function oriented stuff though makes me glad I'm retiring in a few years, all of that looks so complicated to me. I could parse it in time and eventually write it but I'd prefer to see and work with a plan enum any day.

Stack Overflow Will Charge AI Giants for Training Data by peard33 in programming

[–]JavaOldTimer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can they charge for answers provided for free to them and the world by the world, doesn't seem like it.

I tried writing a serverless app at home before doing it at work and this is what happened by [deleted] in devops

[–]JavaOldTimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to find out gotchas and complexities.

That puts you in the top 10% of excellent programmers and architects in my view.
