I’m pretty sure that at least in Australia you need to pay a license fee to play a radio station in your business.

For which purpose?

The elevator, the telephone on hold music, common areas, public areas?

Each of those is different and licensing will also likely be different.

There is not enough information in your post to help you. Here’s a preliminary list of questions that need an answer before anyone can give you a meaningful contribution.

Where did you get “Davinci resolve” from?

What instructions were you following to install it?

Did the installation finish?

Have you attempted to login using a text console?

Which version of Kubuntu were you using and which version of “Davinci resolve” were you attempting to install.

Last time I looked at this, the answer was Calibre.

Turn it off.

Cute, but no.

I thnk that you vastly over estimate just how many computers and people were affected.

Microsoft estimates that 8.5 million computers were hit.

The computers hit were in the vast majority enterprise computers and mostly in the “Western World”.

In 2022, in millions, Lenovo shipped 68 million computers, HP 55.3, Dell 49.7, Apple 28.6, Asus 20.6, Acer 18.7, the rest around 70.1, that’s 286.2 million new computers shipped in 2022 alone.

In case you think that includes phones, nope, Samsung alone shipped 260.9 million mobile devices.

There are over 8 billion people on Earth. Most of them have never heard of CrowdStrike and never will.

I’m an ICT professional with 40 years experience and I’d never heard of them and I’d be surprised if they continue to exist for very much longer, all but guaranteeing that the name will become a footnote in history.

If you can afford the hardware, stop being a schmuck and pay for the software.

I was expecting spectacles and ramen…

I use Docker and (currently) VMware and host whatever I need for as long (or short) as I need it.

This allows me to keep everything separate and isolated and prevents incompatible stuff interacting with each other. In addition, after I’m done with a test, I can dispose of the experiment without needing to track down spurious files or impacting another project.

I also use this to run desktop software by only giving a container access to the specific files I want it to access.

I’m in the process of moving this to AWS, so I have less hardware in my office whilst gaining more flexibility and accessibility from alternative locations.

The ultimate aim is a minimal laptop with a terminal and a browser to access what I need from wherever I am.

One side effect of this will be the opportunity to make some of my stuff public if I want to without needing to start from scratch, just updating permissions will achieve that.

One step at a time :)

What is your source?

So … where did they go and how did they survive, the working class that is.

I think that this reflects “real life”.

You can go to a pub, spout some nonsense and cross the road and spout it again. Each time you are likely to have a different audience, but there’s no guarantee that someone else crossed the road with you.

In the fediverse the same is true. Each community is distinct, even if they’re called the same thing and have shared participation.

You can choose to participate in whichever one you want to, or all of them. There’s no karma associated with voting, it’s about visibility in that community.

If you think it warrants a vote or comment, then do. If you don’t, then don’t.

There’s no right answer here. Do what you think will improve the community you are part of.

Sure glad that my company doesn’t run Windows…

That’s impressive, even Google Translate is making up words:

CONTROL LAMP
HEATING
FECOLATION

According to DDG, that last word apparently appears on one page only:

Which one, Left or Right?

Well, if Harry says it’s so, it must be true…

Seriously, what are your credentials in this space, why is your bio empty and why are you linking courses to your article, and are you getting paid for your referrals?

I’d ask the manufacturer this question, point out your extreme allergic reaction to poison ivy when you do.

You might find that there is a procedure for specifically this situation.

If it walks like a duck…
