Quite good website for everyone wanting to switch to Linux. It asks you questions and at the end you get some suggested distros…

For Germans: Wie #Wahlomat nur für Linux. 😉

This week’s update is massive! So many interesting things were announced that’s too difficult to pick highlights! How about you read them all and tell us which ones you would have picked?

A while back, I made a poor life choice. I am providing this information free of charge so that maybe you can avoid the heartache it's brought me.

I bought a fridge a while back. Shopped around, the usual, found one I could live with that lacked any smart features. Nice sort of space gray metal on the outside.

Got delivered and installed one day, by some nice folks. And it turns out, to my shock and horror, that the fridge is not magnetic. No fridge magnets. No little whiteboards. No reminders held up by letter magnets that totally don't spell something obscene. No magnet poetry that absolutely is obscene. And now I'm stuck with this fridge until it dies.

So, don't be like me. When you're shopping for a fridge, take a magnet.

Finland bought its first supercomputer in 1989, a used Cray X-MP. It has 4 vector processors running at a bit over 100 MHz, 128 MiB RAM, and 38.4 GiB storage. It was used for predicting weather and scientific research.

My phone has 8 CPU cores at up to 1.8 GHz, 3 GiB RAM, and 192 GiB storage. It's mostly used for reading books and bother other people.

Ich fange mal an:
Dr. Hayat Sindi

"(arabisch حياة سندي, DMG Ḥayāh Sindī; geboren am * 6. November 1967 in Mekka) ist eine saudi-arabische Pharmakologin und Expertin für Biotechnologie. Sie ist seit 2012 Goodwill-Botschafterin der UNESCO und zählte im gleichen Jahr zu den zehn einflussreichsten Frauen der arabischen Welt."

#AdaLovelaceDay

Heute ist #AdaLovelaceDay!

"Ada Lovelace Day is an annual event celebrated on the second Tuesday of October, which began in 2009. Its goal is to "... raise the profile of women in science, technology, engineering, and maths," and to "create new role models for girls and women" in these fields. " [1]

So und jetzt nennt mal jede*r hier eine Frau(*) aus dem STEM-Bereich.

(*) gerne auch Menschen, die nicht cis-männlich sind, aber dann das bitte kennzeichnen.
