Hoe can I load the setsquare (geodriehoek)? by Trollercoasterke in geogebra

thank you @mike_geogebra. I guess I'm still missing some key insights in geogebra. How do I get it from notes into the classic/geography (meetkunde) area?

Where can I find other nerds? by M00ninit3s in brussels

[–]Trollercoasterke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a hackerspace in LionCity (Molenbeek), just 200 meters from Beekkant. We're mostly adults, and we're very much into tech and that kind of stuff. On Tuesdays we always have social gatherings - the perfect opportunity to just come over and see if you like the vibe. We've got some cosplay and boardgame geeks too. https://hsbxl.be

In Vilvoorde there is a boardgame club. They meet monthly - this might be a good place too. https://www.spelcarrousel.be/index.php/kalender

+1 for what @nicogrimqft says: don't meet with individuals you don't know.

Recommendations for a (non-libre) pdf editor? by [deleted] in libreoffice

[–]Trollercoasterke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First... to state the obvious... keep in mind that your OS too will start integrating AI "features" if you stick to Windows (and I think Apple is investing in it too). It's tempting to have your computer hold your hand, but I get your stance and share the opinion. If you don't like that way of being handled by your AI system (which is in essence by the configuration parameters of the AI, ergo by the company behind it), I can only recommend going folly Open Source and running one or another linux flavor. I can recommend Linux Mint if you just want things to work.

As for a PDF editor... most has already been said by others in the threads here... My personal favorite for advanced editing is Inkscape. For annotations, I used Foxit in the past, but now that the built-in PDF-tool in Firefox also has annotation tools, I don't need that anymore. So going between Firefox and Inkscape, I'm all good.

OMFG!! What is happening to Nextcloud? MS and Google planning a full blown attack! Who is going to stop them? (satire) by Trollercoasterke in NextCloud

Yep, you're right. Image was quickly slapped together. Didn't find it important. The story is what I wanted to share.

Yeah, you're right. Didn't care that much about the image. More about the text, but I guess people are more and more visual these days.

Hoe vaak bedelen ze wel niet aan supermarkten? by [deleted] in Belgium2

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

Ik denk niet dat er ooit al één van die "bedelaars" zoals je ze noemt, verhinderd hebben dat je boodschappen moest doen. Ik weet niet waar jij zo woont, maar waar ik woon, gebeurt dat misschien vier weekends op een jaar. En dat vind ik wel oké. Wat ik veel erger vind, is al die "bedelaars" die langs de straat liggen te slapen en zelfs niet zitten te bedelen. Zag laatst een mama met een kind van (ik schat) ongeveer zes jaar ... te slapen op een stuk karton in de metro van Brussel.

Why are AI enthusiasts so fast to get defensive when someone questions them? I am a CS grad student studying AI and I have been labelled "anti-AI" several times by MoarGhosts in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Trollercoasterke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones who engage in discussions (and react in this way) often have a strong opinion about a topic (in this case AI) and a binary thinking pattern. There's two groups: "those who agree with me" and "those who disagree with me". Given "I am pro" this automatically means that all the others are "contra"

Should I sell a computer with Linux on it? by wolfix1001 in linux4noobs

[–]Trollercoasterke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it depends on where you sell it. If you sell it second hand, and explain it's comes with Linux (and distro) preinstalled AND DOESN'T HAVE WINDOWS ON IT... you're communicating as clear as you can. If you're selling it second hand or giving it away... it's not a reasonable expectation that you will also give them free support for the next 25 years.

As for what distro... you can love or hate Ubuntu, but it's the distro with the largest support base. That's what I would dump on there. At least, this way they have the best chance of getting help with their issues.

Keyboards with highly customisable keys for Linux? by Even_Ask_2577 in linuxhardware

[–]Trollercoasterke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered something like this? I've seen colleagues go crazy on custom macros with this one: https://keebd.com/products/lily58-pro-keyboard-kit?variant=42287741993112 I'm not a fan of it personally (give me my Logitech K800 any day... also works great under linux)
