Hi, Fediverse friends. I would like to #GetFediHired for a #PartTime role that I can do from #Brno, #Czechia. I am especially interested in #DataAnalytics, #research, #HealthCare, and the #environment, but I am open to other roles. #FediHire

I have 12 years of experience in #InformationScience, including 8 years as a #medical #librarian, into which I incorporated the tools and principles of data analytics. My skills include #Python, #Excel, #SQL, #R, #Linux, and basic #Tableau. 1/2

I'm a heavy #vim user on #linux, and plan to remap the caps lock key to something else, probably Esc.

That said, I also game on this machine and think caps lock makes a great Left Ctrl key

anyone in the same predicament? How did you solve it?

I'm thinking some bash script(s) that just alternates the bindings.

From Dust to Desktop: How to Revive Your Old #Laptop with #Linux

April 4, 2025 by Martin

Excerpt: "Here’s why Linux is the perfect solution for your old laptop:

- It’s Incredibly Efficient: Lightweight Linux distributions use a fraction of the RAM and CPU power that Windows 10 or 11 demand. This leaves more resources for your applications, making everything feel faster.
- It’s Secure: The underlying architecture of Linux makes it far less susceptible to viruses and malware than Windows. Plus, with ongoing community support, even old systems receive regular security updates.
- It’s Free: The operating system and thousands of high-quality applications (web browsers, office suites, media players) are completely free to download and use.
- It’s Customizable: You can make your Linux desktop look and feel exactly how you want it to. From a macOS-style dock to a classic Windows 2000-era taskbar, the choice is yours."

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...

Plasma 6.6 is here (duh!), we fixed those widgets the new release broke 😬, we made the close buttons on the "Thumbnails" task switcher more legible, and the “Terminate this frozen window” dialog got a spinner, among many more tasty things.
