Could it be because in Windows a service has no UI at all?

There still is a "interact with desktop" checkbox on the service setting iirc, but not sure if that still does something. Microsoft discourages using that.

Not sure if this helps as it has been a long time since I last played with Wine.

Oh travelling across the border.
That makes it much harder to prepare for these type of shenanigans in advance.
Hope you managed to arrive on time.

Travelling by train isn't always ideal.
For some, like me, it's pretty much the only option.
Gladly I don't have to travel much anymore nowadays.

In the Netherlands?
Sounds like you missed the major accident from Friday that basically messes up the whole schedule for this week while ProRail tries to fix 1 km of broken rails.

Getting Started Running Local LLMs with Ollama With the recent (but not unexpected) discovery that OpenAI never deleted your chats and now courts are demanding chat histories for upcoming legal cases... I thought that now would be a good time to write an article helping people who want to explore large language models (LLMs) like LLaMA, Mistral, or Gemma without relying on cloud services or APIs 😬.

How to set up your very own local Skynet at home so Altman/Zuckerberg/Musk/Bezos/Etc... can't scrape your user data for additional, future nefarious purposes:

I know people who seriously believe that AI thinks. It's impossible to explain to them that that's not how it works. Very tiresome tbh.

Sadly that's social media now.
It's a bit better over at the mastodon side of things, but it also has plenty of it. I just end up spent less time on it for now.
The doom scrolling isn't helpful.

Basically everything worth a hill of beans uses HTTPS; that encrypts from your browser, all the way to the server side. Nothing in between (including, interestingly, your OS and its networking stack) can see the contents barring some MITM corporate nonsense.

This is why public wifi is "safe."

I just use many different OS'es and they all have their quirks and their uses.
Life's too short to focus on the bad parts all the time. Especially if it's been there for a while.

It's difficult to argue with the "I did my own research folks". I sometimes try, but they insist to be experts and refuse to listen to professionals while demanding that you explain to them why they are wrong. πŸ™„
