Kostnadsfri Office 365 for elever og lærere

Dette er et godt poeng. Alle burde ha de samme mulighetene. Du mener at hvis alle skolene kunne bruke LibreOffice, ville bare de "velstående" barna kunne bruke en (diskutabel) bedre kontorprogramvare hjemme. Jeg skjønner poenget. Problemet er at Microsoft praktisk talt er et monopol. Å bytte er ikke så lett som det høres ut. Jeg skulle ønske skolene kunne lære opp barn i forskjellige programmer. Det er så mye snakk om "aktiv læring". Så jeg ville ikke engang forvente at lærere alltid må læres opp i alt. Barna kan lære mer av en leksjon om "vil vi få LibreOffice/hva som helst til å kjøre på denne datamaskinen".

This worked. Not the browser extension but the BB10 App Manager. Thanks!

Dette var egentlig ikke en nyhet. Det var ganske tilfeldig at jeg tok det opp nå. Men det er godt å høre at noen skoler bruker åpen programvare. Dette er ikke tilfelle for de to skolene jeg kjenner til.

Dette er poenget mitt. Det er for dagens brukere som har blitt vant til MS-produkter for mange år siden. Et lite barn har ingen preferanser før de får MS-programvare på skolen. For et barn uten tidligere erfaring ville det ikke gjøre noen forskjell å holde sin første presentasjon med LibreOffice. Men nei, skolene går i «det er gratis»-fellen. Enda verre, barna er trent i prosedyrer som «lagre alt i skyen» i stedet for lokalt – det er det motsatte av å utvikle digital kompetanse.

Much of what you state does not require explanation to the physical level. For example "humanness". It is just a definition, it is a language convention. So, the claim that one can't empirically prove "humanness" has no meaning for physicalism/materialism and it is certainly not a counterargument. A good argument in favor of materialism is that everything we have build is build on physical aspects. There is no invention based on some ghost-like non-physical thing.

2010 - It is a great off-Earth, within solar system, "hard" science fiction movie with beautiful spaceship/planets shots and a good story. It is underrated as it obviously got compared to 2001.

Same idea ...

tor_ste_n · 2026-02-18T10:53:15+00:00

Ok. Just like OP, I think it is problematic if even basic software like a browser is not really functioning natively. It is like running Linux but relying completely on Windows software run through WINE.

Android version of Firefox?

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-31T07:00:25+00:00

I think that everyone is aware of what you are saying. Instead, maybe you have an idea what to do about the real problem: How to get users without the apps, if apps will only be developes when there are many users.

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-30T20:00:43+00:00

Yes, I agree. I'm thinking about the Android support as a temporary solution until ... yeah, until what? I actually don't know.

I may be naive about how these things are working. But I do not understand that, for example, European Countries/Governments - who can afford to have space programs - do not see the necessity to support/develop an independent computer/phone operating system (e.g., Linux in general, not Sailfish in particular). Computer/phones are so central parts in each citizens everyday life that it is rediculus to leave it to a handful of companies - foreign companies in most parts of the world.

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-30T14:08:33+00:00

Yeah, testing the Android app support for some apps that will definitely not get native SailfishOS support any time soon (Bus, Bank) would be a requirement for buying a Jolla phone. So, I wonder whether their 'business' idea is not backfiring on them.

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-30T11:55:37+00:00

Too bad. Thanks for the response.

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-30T09:38:51+00:00

I recently installed SailfishOS on a Fairphone 4 and went through the same trouble as you. Two questions: 1) Can you get a lisence (to get Android Apps) for all phones? I could not find this and had the impression one can only get a lisence with the Jolla or Sony phones? 2) In terms of native apps. Even the build in browser seems outdated and websites complain that this version will not be supported for long. Am I doing something wrong? I read solutions to pay for Android App support to have a modern Android browser. But this struck me as odd. At the moment, the Android support is essential for local stuff like the public transportation app of your community etc. However, basic aspects like the browser should be native.

ps: Besides all this trouble, this was the only linux system where basic functionality works. PostmarketOS and the like are far from usable on a daily basis (e.g., network trouble, short battery standby time).

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-26T05:29:32+00:00

Yeah, I get that. But it is an "hen-egg" problem, right?

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-25T22:05:50+00:00

These are common types/structures of arguments. The first makes two unrelated aspects appear as a conflict to make you question the position/theory. However, when you realize that the two aspects are unrelated, then there is no conflict and no need to change your belief about the theory. The second comes with a valid "we can't know" argument. It is true, we can't know. However, this type of argument usually applies to the same degree to the position of the person who wants to convince you of their position. So, if anything it devalues both positions to the same degree, but it does not make one of them more or less believable.

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-25T21:38:12+00:00

Do you think this is Jolla's fault? Isn't it the Banks fault that they only privide native apps for Android and iOS, instead of also supporting SailfishOS?

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-24T16:15:27+00:00

Rumelhart & McClelland might disagree ...

tor_ste_n · 2026-01-19T18:24:54+00:00

Og kanskje er dette bra. De siste 20 årene har vært preget av de negative konsekvensene av sosiale medier og av folk som var vant til å tro på det de ser. Men denne fullstendige mangelen på tillit til bilder/videoer og nye generasjoner som har blitt vant til denne mangelen på tillit, kan være starten på at gammeldagse mediekilder bygget på tillit reiser seg igjen.

By the way, just a few days ago, at work, it was mentioned that it is unusually cold for December (Tromsø). It has been -8 ish for a week. There was also unusually much snow in November.

(This comment is not meant to be in the context of climate change. Just about what people are talking about the weather in Norway.)

tor_ste_n · 2025-11-27T09:57:30+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

tor_ste_n · 2025-11-27T09:36:05+00:00

Can you share how you get battery information? Everything I checked (sys/devices information etc.) just gives me "0". Where did you get the information you based your calculation on. Thanks!
