I deployed an open-source chat system at work, just for convenience. Boss was concerned that it didn’t do any logging and we couldn’t tell who said what.
“You don’t have any records of what we say verbally. What’s the difference?”
“…Oh. Well, you’re right.”
He was coming from a legit concern. We didn’t point fingers when someone screwed up, zero blame, but we needed to know exactly what happened so we could fix it.
I’d stand with Big Tech on this one.
“Make me. Dare ya. We’ll pull all UK sales and block your island off the face of the planet. See how that works for ya at the polls. We’re done here.”
Oh! That’s a new one on me! Maybe sounds familiar?
Doesn’t matter. People fall for it every fucking time.
That is an urban myth. There was one case in one police force and a judge ruled it was OK to select against applicants who scored too well on an internal test.
It’s been 25 years, time to put this one to rest.
Wow! Somehow that one passed me by. Was it a rare thing?
Not Santa, but I’ve tried a dozen or more distros over the last 15 years. Multiple pains in my ass see me going back to Windows, every time. Headless Linux as a server OS rocks out.
The fact that you have to ask is a major point against the Linux desktop.
Me too and I’ve tried Linux on and off for 15 years. Also, I have never once had any of the issues lemmy tells me I’m having. Apparently that pisses lemmy off because I get hella downvotes for merely stating my experience. I think 97% of the hate comes from people with awful experiences at work or they think “Windows” is what they get from their laptop manufacturer. Installing a base ISO is a way different experience.
Some article comes out that an update is doing something bad? I wouldn’t know, hasn’t happened to me, or the Windows fleets I’ve managed, for nearly a decade. I’d say over a decade, but I dodged that update that borked CMS systems because, duh, I manage updates instead of letting them roll.
Linux is my go-to for servers, every time. I’ll only deploy Windows if I must, such as a domain controller, or our software has to run on IIS, stuff like that. Otherwise, I can’t imagine using Windows Server. It’s not so much that it sucks, but why pay for a slower system?!
Worked across the street from an outfit like yours for 5 years. Never saw a crane coming or going, hell, never seen one being assembled. Y’all sneak out in the middle of the night, right?
People aren’t paying for Word, they’re paying for Excel and getting all the other goodies included.
Yeah, LibreOffice is fine for home use, maybe even really small businesses that don’t have to trade spread sheets with external customers, but Excel is the killer app.
Calc’s a fine spread sheet program, but it’s frustrating as hell after using Excel for 30+ years. You can’t trust that it will properly import an Excel sheet and it sure won’t do macros.
For business, they need Excel.
He’s that shithead that has input in every fucking meeting, just so it looks like he’s doing his job.
One would think that after the Charlie Kirk fiasco he would have learned to STFU for just a bit until the facts were certain.
My wife bought a windshield cover at the flea market last weekend. We live in Florida.
Oh! Driving past stopped school busses you mean. Had to look up “driving through bus stops”. :)
Set your modem string to go for more than 5.
I have both versions of Semple’s black. Paint brush works fine. You need a lab to apply Vantablack.
I bought both versions of his “black” and they’re great. #1 is blacker by far, harder to apply though.
If it’s illegal why isn’t the state executive branch making arrests? Why isn’t the state legislative banning the sale of these devices?
If I was selling an illegal product, they wouldn’t be dragging my happy ass through court to get relief from my actions.
Few read the articles around here, like any social media. I could come with a headline that Bill Gates proposed using trans people’s brains for AI processing, Matrix style, and harvesting the water of the dead ones, a la Dune. Lemmy would eat it up.
Comments here aren’t helping, are they?
Also, why is everyone wearing 60s clothes?
