Trumps closed the borders and now he’s gonna commit genocide on his own people…

Tbh I had the opposite, was way too worried about myself being stupid, and not worried enough about how stupid everyone else is

Oh fuck off, as if this government is capable of making decisions that police corporate excess. Going by Labors track record they’ll sabotage this somehow like only target businesses with less than $1 million in turnover.

Wow, those other parents are total pieces of shit.

Minorities be like: Wtf bro. We’ve only been telling you this since forever.

Maralago face for dogs…

Hey Mr. Scott, what you gonna do? What you gonna do? Make our dreams come true!

Don’t we have AI that can reverse engineer just about anything… Be a real shame if governments just started replacing all these proprietary dependencies with their own solutions…

I said this exact thing to multiple Australian universities and government heads.

Not only would it save money, it would develop local industry and expertise.

No reply of course. No one’s interested if it doesn’t help make them rich!

Yo-ho, yo-ho. Drink up me hearties yo-ho!

Wow four whole supermarket chains? That’s double Australia, where we have just two.

I’d wager it’s more or less the same structural reasons as Canada though.

100% this. A lot of local town regulation is implemented under a guise of community protection and wellbeing. Then in practise it displaces local businesses and replaces them with big corporate setups that can navigate the new rules more easily. They’ll fine someone for not installing a ramp, but not provide that same ramp to the local park.

Translation: Plenty of out of touch, spoilt idiots in Canada.

The DRM on competitive sex is really annoying though, practically excludes Linux users.

Yeah I mean at the end of the day it’s a work tool.

I had a situation a few weeks ago where a Microsoft user sent us a PowerPoint of screenshots full of comments from the client about what to change. People on MacOS couldn’t see the comments in their software and I couldn’t see it on Ubuntu Studio using LibreOffice either. ONLYOFFICE had them but they were still hard to find in the UI.

The desktop scaling one just does my head in too. Feel like on Linux I should have more options and utility and I probably could figure something out if I tinker with it. But who has the time ey

Ah my bad, I meant ONLYOFFICE*

So many offices 😅

LibreOffice is great, but it has some glaring issues that keep it out of the mainstream. In my experience it can’t handle multiple monitors with different scaling, comments on 365 don’t import, formulas in sheets break, etc.

Some of these issues come from Microsoft, but other FOSS office suites like ONLYOFFICE have overcome them so it’s doable.

I get the sense their tech stack is very rigid so that may be why iteration is slowed.

When I was in high school over 20 years ago they made us read The Handmaids Tale. I laughed thinking that book was so extreme and pessimistic. I’m not laughing anymore.

It’s insane we have to disprove a nonsense theory pushed by the media narrative, the onus of proof should be on them to prove trickle down was ever real and not just a gaslighting technique.

I knew a psychiatrist who would complain about how stupid her patients were. These were people in crisis whose problems often repeated themselves due to the environment. But as a well off boomer who never had to deal with cost of living pressures in her life, she had no concept of their life’s problems and just saw all these suffering people as idiots who don’t make good choices.
