  • Would you accept or refuse the draft if your country decided to reinstate it?

    Jump

  • I did 20 years ago and I would do again. Can't enjoy living here and when something comes and threatens that put my hands up and let somebody else do the work.

  • Help with removing broken faucet aerator

    Jump

  • Eh, a new faucet that fits as a drop in replacement might be cheaper than the plumber, but you are far from the point where I'd give in.

    What kind of pliers do you have available?

  • Help with removing broken faucet aerator

  • Its broken anyway, I'd jam a slot screwdriver into the plastic and see where that gets me, either you get it screwed or out or you break it into pieces.

  • It would be crazy if someone died of a heart attack while crowd surfing and hundreds of people just unwittingly pushed a corpse around.

  • Have you ever held a dying person? You know when it's over.

  • UK Government will allow "Plug-In Solar" Panels

    Jump

  • It's probably okay, in the usual UK buildings, for the first 24h you'd be cooking the dampness out of the wall.

  • The German village running on its own juice

    Jump

  • Yup. Heating and driving with electricity, I'm at 12000kWh per year. Which is fine for 20000km driven and 200m² kept at 22°C all year round.

  • Ran 100 feet of Ethernet to install a router for my home lab

    Jump

  • Unifi, does that and just works for me.

  • China approves 'ethnic unity' law requiring minorities to learn Mandarin

  • Showed up as a spoiler in Voyager at least.

  • Deadly journeys: Refugees, migrants risk everything to reach Europe

    Jump

  • Bearded socialist that gives out free stuff, even wearing a red coat all the time, ignoring international airspace regulations and borders? Yeah, I'm not betting on him either.

  • Trump Says He's 'Entitled' to Illegal Third Term as Allies Draft Voter Suppression Decree

    Jump

  • Well, based on extended measurements: He is.

  • Microsoft Copilot Ignored Sensitivity Labels, Processed Confidential Emails

    Jump

  • Yeah well, count your blessings that your career isn't 110% tied to whatever shit shower Redmond decides to turn on that month.

    Conscious decision, true, but still.

  • Politicians in Ireland's second largest city want to convert green areas into parking spaces to ease social tensions

    Jump

  • If it were that obvious, it would probably be implemented already.

  • Politicians in Ireland's second largest city want to convert green areas into parking spaces to ease social tensions

    Jump

  • That is an "if everybody just did $THING" solution and while those usually sound lovely they do not work.

  • Now make the people that actually live there have the same opinion and you've worked a political and sociological miracle.

  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

    Jump

  • What they have is already done developing and they are flush in cash. A company that creates an ERP for a specialized industry does not care, unless a huge chunk of their customers demand a change all at once AND are ready to pay for it. I mean, I understand the idealism but this is just one of those "if everybody just..." situations that, imho, holds back open source solutions because their defendants look a bit excentric from established businesses' points of view.

  • Lemmings, please give us your info dump.

    Jump

  • Well... Are you?

  • I'm reading all these comments and I guess no one here works outside of academia or 100% IT companies.

    Reality out there is, that O365 is so deeply integrated with other business related software, that it's never going away. My company uses an ERP system that has maybe 200 customers worldwide. It is highly specialized for what we do. There is zero financial incentive for the manufacturer to support any other ecosystem. So they won't.

  • Your car is here.

    Jump

  • Also the development department lets you borrow the current new generation prototype if you want and suddenly it's all current tech.

  • The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about

    Jump

  • We said that a few times, first it was the harddisk factories flooded in Thailand IIRC, then it was GPUs for crypto, now it's this shit. Not much bursting, more like a chain of bubbles.
