I’ve seen a few pics of those but it was before my time. I’ve only been into Linux since 2012 or so.

Most PC and gaming magazines come with DVDs. I really wouldn’t say that PCs with disk drives are uncommon here.

It’s nowhere near as expensive in the EU but it can be pretty close to the price of fuel in some countries. I regularly travel the same 700 kilometers through Germany and if you don’t book weeks in advance the fuel expenditure is often less than the price of the train ticket. Not to mention the comfort of a car is comparable to a first class seat which is even more expensive. But I guess you’d have to factor in maintenance as well.

I guess it’s not something he wanted to take any chances with. His father was fairly high up in the Austro-Hungarian military, so he knew what the frontline was like.

He still lived a long and decently healthy life and died in his 80s. Never drank or smoked again though.

My German great grandpa was a pacifist and got around being drafted into WW1 and WW2 by pretending to be an alcoholic. He apparently barely ate and lived only from booze and cigarettes for a month. He went to the draft office underweight and shaking and they pretty much sent him home immediately. Unfortunately he did some actual damage to his liver with it but I guess it’s better than getting blown to bits for the Emperor or the Nazis.

The easiest way to create a theme for KDE is probably with Kvantum:

The drivers are in fact different, but the ones in your links are also not matching. Maybe they experimented in the early days of the company or they were customized. I consider this one solved.

Oh no way! That’s it! Maybe it’s a sub-brand or a very early logo. I could only find ones with the square text badge. Thank you for solving this mystery for me :D

I’ve seen those too, they are the closest thing I could find so far. The most obvious differences are that the ones from Pöhler don’t have the rounded edges and are 3-way while these are only 2-way. Maybe it’s a weird off-brand thing but the quality seems too nice for that.

No worries, I’m happy about any lead! I looked into spendor and it seems they always had logos with the brand name written out. I appreciate the suggestion though!

Don’t bother engaging with the troll, they are clearly not arguing in good faith.

It’s a pretty emotional topic for a lot of people, so I’m not surprised. Still, I’d advise everyone who downvotes to at least take a look at what the other side has to say. This thread has a feddit.org mod comment on the situation:

about the later’s Zionist Bar Problem

I’d prefer to have a less biased title for this thread because this is a very one-sided point of view and just parrots what the db0 admin claims without questioning them.

Edit: Thanks for putting it in quotation marks, OP.

Does this mean the “PLEASE ADD TURKISH LANGUAGE 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷” spam all over the community hubs will stop?

You’re gonna have to explore meth houses for that.

The onboarding being a bit difficult is a good thing IMO, it keeps the standards a bit higher and the Facebook boomers and TikTok children out. The internet was better when it wasn’t so easily accessible.

I’d never cheat on Nicole. Begone, thot!

Same here, my daily driver is 35 years old. Anything that breaks just gets replaced and the original manufacturer still sells a lot of new parts. It should’ve been scrapped years ago but I saw keeping it running as a challenge. It’s in pretty decent shape by now actually.

Deus Ex 1. Still holds up after all these years and there are plenty of mods to keep things interesting.

Just don’t connect it to the internet.
