"Last year I switched to something new. This is the Lua programming language. It's implemented in just 12k LoC, it's extremely easy to build from source and it's quite fast. It's not as popular as Javascript or Python. As a result, it doesn't tend to get used in products of conquest that try to be all things to all people."
Due to a slow and failing hard drive, I did a lot of work on her computer today, upgrading to an SSD. Much faster now. Fixed login issues by switching to a local login instead of a Microsoft login... you may know where this is going.
Got the computer back to her. Checking it over with her.
"Where's my calendar that I keep my entire life in?"
Months back I had helped her migrate her calendar to Thunderbird so it wouldn't be in a Microsoft product and would be easy to back up. Unbeknownst to me, she didn't keep using Thunderbird but went back to Outlook because #ChangeIsHard ... Change Is Hard.
Turns out that there were multiple Microsoft Accounts associated with her Outlook 365. When I switched to a local login to fix a login issue, it disconnect all of them. The account where we think the calendar data is stored, she doesn't know the password. Account recovery is not working.
Right now I don't want to work on computers with Microsoft products on. At all. Of course, not realistic, as the majority of my local customers use Windows.
So, anyone know how this ban is going to be enforced? Or attempted to be enforced?
I'm guessing government forced removal from mobile app stores, but then what about people who already have the app? Or who side-load it on their Android phones. Or use a web app?
We're working on a website re-design. Made some decisions today. Will be simplifying the design concept to cards representing each of the website sections and then a search that eliminates cards that do not match the search.
This allowed us to remove the bulky menus that the previous version of the website had and simplify the primary use of the website, which is to quickly find information.
If you are coming from Windows, I do highly recommend the Cinnamon desktop.
With Linux, you get more choices... which can bring confusion because you aren't used to that with Windows.
The Cinnamon desktop environment is one of perhaps six major desktop environment options, with many more less used options available, too.
Cinnamon is the desktop environment developed by Linux Mint, so is default with that, but you can install and use it easily on many Linux "distos" (distributions of software that are bundled together).
Linux Mint Debian Edition is a good place to get started.
I tried out #keepassxc today. It's in the debian repositories so fast installation and easy to use, guided setup process.
Should have tried it years ago.
A side benefit is being able to record all my logins and important information in one file (the keepassxc database file), back it up, and then share it with my loved ones with the unlock password given to them stored in a safe place.
If something happens to me, they'll be able to access my accounts.
