And all it took was getting rid of us.

For 10k rows you should probably use a real database anyway ;)

I use office 360 in the browser.
I’m not a typical sysadmin but I use linux anyway. Somehow I always found some workarounds, but I am also not the only one using Linux in our company so the IT needs to work with us to some degree.

yt-dlp is a command line tool but amazing. Works also on windows.

I use radicals for CalDAV and save notes there together with my calendars. On Android there is jtx Board which let’s you work with them. Sadly on Linux I couldn’t find anything so I started writing something myself but don’t have much time to work on it https://github.com/jeena/JNotes

Once Elon evolves X to the everything app, we will finally enjoy what is what you describe and what is already the case in China.

I was there a month ago and we were driving through some rural area and the bus stopped so people can go to the toilet. There was a seller selling dried fruits in small plastic bags. I wanted to buy some and I had some cash on me, but the only way to pay was to use WeeChat and the QR code he had there.

I’d say not quite as bad, but it’s still pretty bad. Especially if you like freedom, you won’t have much fun there.

On the other side if you like political games, bootlicking and bribary you will have a very good time, not as a foreigner, but if you’re Han Chinese and from a family which is already established in the party it’s quite nice.

In the long run there is no way around it. To be honest if on device voices would be good enough then just sending the text version and let it read on the device in a somewhat natural voice would be kind of cool. I’m already using a special app which just reads any article I share with it in a fairly ok voice and I love this functionality, I don’t need to sit down and read a long article on my phone, I can do something else and just make it read the article to me.

What I am worried about though are the people who do the research and who write the texts. Those sadly will also be replaced over time with machines and there is something we will really lose.

If that wasn’t on purpose than that was a big fuckup. I was sometimes thinking about testing Bitwarden but with this volatile license situation I’m not interested anymore.

I remember he said he has nothing against Ukraine joining the EU, so I assume he wouldn’t be mad if Moldova joins.

That’s a really tiny margin, I wonder what the arguments against were.

OK, I switched to that one now, thanks for pointing it out and explaining it.

Thunderbird, Firefox, Element, Home Assistant, DAVx5, AntennaPod, Immich, NewPipe, Task.org, SyncThing, Tusky.

For me, life is happening and I just have less time

And I said, what’s the difference with lies in text in a newspaper and lies on video on youtube? There is no difference, so nothing will change.

I think what I get is ok, because I adjust my effort to the payment.

I don’t think I could give 100% effort at work, that would burn me out in no time and that’s not worth any money.

How is video different from text? We had a lot of lies and propaganda in newspapers durin WWII and everybody believed it, I don’t think it will change just because it’s a different medium now.

Nvidia and Linux don’t play well. Also if you are able to add a little bit more I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14" with a AMD Ryzen processor and without Windows but instead there was FreeDOS preinstalled for $440.

I just installed linux on it and everything worked perfectly for 3 years now, I’m very happy with it. It’s not the most powerful, so I can’t edit videos on it, but I can play Minecraft, I can program, use the browser with all Microsoft 350 stuff and so on without any problems.

I had it like that and it was OK for two years or so until someone broke in at home while I was sleeping and stole my iMac.

So from my experience it gets better. Later I had to work on a Windows machine at work that again took a couple of weeks but eventually I also was OK using both at the same time.
