  • Churn is an issue you mentioned.

    I was specifically thinking about men who have sex with men. Grindr and similar platforms are very successful. Most of it is about casual sex between promiscuous men. They are also a great target group otherwise. Travel between gay metropolises is common as. Pride tourism is big.



  • Working in Remote Desktop for an extended amount of time is no fun. It’s possible, but you need the right version of windows and office to do that.

    I wouldn’t want to rely on complex solutions like that for an essential for work. Now you have to administrate your local computer and the remote server. You also rely on a bunch of things going right to be able to use it from on the go: Internet connection on the go that doesn’t filter Remote Desktop, Home Internet connection, proxmox configuration and updates being okay. If you want to add a VPN on top, you get more possible failure points

    So run a windows VM directly on your Linux machine. No need to make it more complicated. At least then you don’t depend on a working internet connection.

    Alternatively try to run MS Word using WINE on Linux. This might work or break randomly.

    If you don’t want to buy a license for office or windows use these scripts.

    You really seem to need MS Office. It’s not necessary to make your life harder by building complex solutions. Run windows if it makes your life easier.

    Other alternative: buy an Apple device and run MS Office for Mac. That’s the only reliable way to use it without windows.









  • Well, I think this is more of as symptom , that apple doesn’t have a good idea for the IPad UI. When you start an iPad, you are asked to select one of three different window managers. That’s a total failure to design a good user interface. None of the three options is particularly great.

    I don’t think it’s doomer to point out the iPad has great hardware but is limited severely by the software after being on the market for 15 years. Compare to the kind of change we have seen on other OS in the past, it’s embarrassing.

    There’s no vision behind this, only inertia.
