Yeah, don’t ask tech people to name things. Microsoft has like 500 different things called “Razor.”

Honestly, would not be surprised if it happened. That’s where my expectations are, just maybe not so openly.

When reading this, I initially thought people had been fucking executed.

Get off Google. There are alternatives, Qwant, Startpage, whatever floats your boat. I swapped to Kagi and honestly haven’t looked back.

Oh my gods, the mess that is Teams. When I first started working at my current company I was kind of excited because all of the software just works together. It felt novel, and I was enchanted by it. That quickly died when I realised that it makes finding anything a nightmare. There’s a billion different tabs and solutions for every single individual thing, and even multiple things within the same project. I think the main project I work on has like fifteen different test documents, and good luck trying to find the documentation for pushing stuff live! The only real way to find things is to ask someone who knows. There’s half a billion different search bars and finding the right one is just way too time consuming.

It’s bad because the company is bad and they should collapse, not continue on.

Yeah, forums please. I hate the idea of troubleshooting information being locked behind some stupid software we can’t easily index and search. Forums can be put on archive.org, you can literally print a page, or save it as a PDF for reviewing later. You can make use of bookmark software like Linkwarden to archive things.

Discord? Not so much. You can use third party software to scrape it and save information, but no search engine can index it. Community building is great, but I loathe having to trawl through tonnes of blithering blathering conversation BS just to figure out where to find firmware for a particular chip I have is.

Makes me want to projectile vomit all over the place, throw my computer out the window, and move to convent.

This is true. My running theory, the shit man theory, is that if you take a famous person from the past they’re most likely a shithead. For example;

Mahatma Gandhi was a nazi-loving racist who would gather young and underaged apprentices with whom he’d sleep naked to prove how virtuous he was by not raping them.

Mother Theresa didn’t pay her workers, withheld medical attention on the grounds that if they took people to proper medical facilities they’d not use hers, re-used needles and knowingly spreading infectious diseases (like HIV), would purposefully make people suffer because suffering is godly.

No I genuinely cannot even begin to imagine, I am so sorry you guys have to go through that.

Maybe! Given how the incumbent party views education I can see that. At the same time, for-profit schools is a thing too and we can’t lose that profit! Think of all the poor profiteers. :(((

If people didn’t want their children to be brutally murdered in gun violence they should just breed bullet resistant children. The system is working fine, this is clearly a problem with parents.

That’ll be great fun when it starts spitting out false positives and the coppers get called out several times a day because someone was carrying their pencil case in their hands rather than in their bags. The only reasonable solution there will obviously be to ban pencil cases.

One gender to bring them all, and in togetherness find them

For some reason this makes me think of the inscription on the One Ring.

I did something similar just the other day.

As a kid I really enjoyed Populous The Beginning. I only ever had the demo version. I later bought the game on GOG, but it never ran that well on my computer. You had to use software based graphics acceleration so it didn’t look right, would have issues with the sound, and crash fairly often.

Tried it through Lutris the other day and it just works. Flawlessly. The graphics look right, there are no audio distortions, and so far I’ve not crashed at all. I’d like to figure out how to get it to run in windowed mode, and then I’ll be satisfied.

Big win for WINE.

Denmark helped them spy on the EU a couple years back and now they’re threatening with invading Greenland.

Not a good ally is an understatement.

Depending on what you aim to do, Matrix works well enough. Reminds me a lot of Discord back in 2017 or so.

I’m sure there are more than that. Älvdalska comes to mind. Isn’t Sami a group of languages rather than a singular distinct language?

During WWII we were neutral in the sense that we flip-flopped and assisted whichever side seemed to do best. We took in refugees, and we assisted the nazis. We fed Germany iron ore to feed its war machine, and let Germany transport troops to Narvik, Norway, via our railways.

On top of that, we were prominent within BS pseudoscientific fields like racial biology, eugenics, etc. We had plenty of “scientists” who were super into the übermensch aryan BS, the effects of which are felt even today. We got rid of the forced sterilisation of transpeople in 2013.

Sweden never was neutral.

We’ve never been neutral.

Has the orange arse even hit the seat yet? People were really fucking fast with throwing out all their pretense of progressivity.
