Der #iPhone-#Kamera kann man mit dem #LeicaLuxGrip, den wir ausprobiert haben, ein echtes #Leica-Feeling bescheren. Der wohl größte Kritikpunkt: Der Leica Lux Grip funktioniert nur in Kombination mit der #LeicaLux #App. Bei anderen Kamera-Apps verweigert der Grip den Dienst – auch bei Apples Kamera-App. Das ist wirklich schade, da man so in ein #Abo gedrängt wird, denn die #LuxApp stellt nur Basisfunktionen kostenfrei bereit.

Zum Test: appgefahren.de/leica-lux-grip-

I never realized how hard it is to come up with graphics for abstract concepts until I started a #TechBlog.

If I was writing about physical objects, animals, places, food, whatever, you can just slap some nice photo of that thing and be done.

But how do you create a picture representing the concept of a function annotation signifying that the return value shouldn't be discarded? (I did make something up in the end, but it wasn't easy)

You’ve seen my posts about Linux accessibility. You’ve read me scream about broken screen readers, unusable bootloaders, and the sheer volume of stuff that only works after three undocumented hacks and a blood sacrifice. That’s from someone who already knows how to deal with this mess.
But what happens when someone new tries to step in?
My partner just published the first post in a new blog series called “Linux: Helpful or Headache?” It’s a personal account of what it feels like to stare into the abyss of Linux as a blind user who hasn’t even installed it yet. This isn’t a “how to” guide. It’s not a technical tutorial. It’s a moment of honest vulnerability and curiosity in the face of a system that’s infamous for treating newcomers like an inconvenience.
Part One – An Introduction

She’s totally blind. She’s used to Windows and iOS — platforms where accessibility is at least visible, documented, and supported. Linux? From the outside, it looks like a twisted obstacle course: too many distros, zero onboarding, no centralized help, and a community that can't agree on anything except that "you should have read the wiki."
And yet… she’s jumping in anyway.
This first post talks about that pre-installation limbo. The “what the hell even is a distro?” stage. The existential dread of picking between MATE and GNOME when you don’t even know how to pronounce “Flatpak.” The raw, unfiltered feeling of not knowing what you don’t know — and doing it anyway, because the itch to explore is stronger than the fear of breaking stuff.
There’s no cheerleading here. No “yay open source!” No tidy beginner tutorial with copy-paste terminal commands. Just one blind woman staring down the reality that Linux doesn’t come with a support number, and deciding to try it anyway — not because it’s easy, but because she wants to learn, grow, and maybe even call bullshit where it’s due.
And if you're wondering — no, I didn’t write or co-write it. This is her voice, her experience, her story. But it does tie in beautifully with the nightmare I’ve been chronicling in my own posts, from a totally different vantage point.
If you’ve ever tried to onboard someone to Linux, especially someone disabled, this is what it actually looks like. And if you’ve ever told someone “Linux is great, just pick a distro,” read this and realize how much we take for granted.
Go read it. Boost it. Follow the series. She's only just getting started.

​:niko_spin:​ New blog post!

By following this guide, you will have what is, in my opinion, the optimal setup to daily drive a rolling release distribution, such as Arch Linux.

If you have any kind of problem after updating your system, you'll be able to boot into a previous snapshot and rollback to it, as if nothing had happened.

It's basically like time travel for your computer, but better. Because you'll be able to choose what gets rolled back and what doesn't, so that you don't lose any of your recent work.
I started working on this a while before publishing the previous post. I really hope this is helpful to whoever reads it! ​:kurisuthumbsup:​
