Thank you Grapher, really nice to know Im not the only one that found it weirdly polished kind of funny (not taking credit, purely accidental quality on my part).

… isn’t her stupid-rich family … nvm.

I mean, in previous years we did pass some environmental laws (like banning internal combustion cars), not as much or as strict as I hoped, but change was there. Sure hope that doesn’t all get undone ‘to boost the economy’ (in the USA sense - so help the existing big corps to boost their profits & do nothing for the majority).

Hell, I rally like the vast majority of EU regulations (various directives and delegated acts) that were passed & are being constantly updated (to keep up with the times/trends & tech) over the last 20 years, I think its a rally good balance between protecting the people whilst at the same time working with the market to actually achieve a meaningful & painless change over several years. That’s why we have representatives. The added “bureaucracy” as companies call it is just extra reporting & testing (to confirm compliance with standards). This benefits us all & is of unbelievably marginal cost when you look at the economy, regardless of what lobbyists say.

Its … horrible how you treat your elderly in closed wards.

I shall avert my gaze.
Didn’t mean to pry, it was just too loud to not notice it.

I’d rather look at our … increasingly hard-right EU politics … wait, that can’t be right, wtf.

Oh, so you let just anyone suck on your house keys?!

Well, now Im not doing it.

Doesn’t matter, memorised your house keys pattern.

(Be ready for surprise titty piercing at 3am, after the cat is done with the zoommies, so like 15-ish minutes past 3am.)

Tell me you never sucked tiddies pierced with house keys by providing me with a picture of tiddies pierced with house keys.

Early yesterday.

Like, it must have been a (horrible) style choice right?
Can’t fuck up that much on accident.

I don’t wanna see how the inside looks. Maybe those windows use just one continuous foil …

In a helmet, suit and everything, holy shit.

Yeah, wtf, what did Linux ever do to the great furry community sys admins?

Our group is still fully on Windows all the things (except like two virtual servers), desktops all run W10.

I will again plead in this years strategy to not upgrade to W11, if for nothing else ‘moral reasons’.
I’ll be the only one tho.

Yeah, this explanation makes the most sense to me.

Just a generalisation that “good at computers” is a programmer. So no Apple programmers :P (joking ofc)

Yes, a power tinkerer!

And if something needs to be programmed (or just coded, bcs copypasta), then that’s what’s gonna happen.

If IT won’t accommodate my ticket in the way I want Im just gonna write another ticket for access rights.

Yes, this is regularly seen throughout Europe for years.

You can buy such tags in bulk from China, they are very cheap at any scale really (and their use isn’t limited to just pricing).

But yes, I think some EU countries already have laws preventing price changes throughout the day or (to some extend) price differences between eg countryside and cities.
I think there should be an EU directive for this tho.

I was not explaining my logic nor my beliefs, just describing my smol sample (introvert!), as a btw fun fact.

But I was under the impression that there is no distinguishable difference between which OSs use programmes vs non-programmers (and the other way around).
Perhaps bcs I fail to se any specific connection between the two. But yes, my logic would be that both types use and are used by both to roughly the same extent.

(Haha, exactly same experience with relatives - forced them on Linux, never had anything non-trivial to fix since then.)

Wait … is there a perception (or reality?) that most Linux users are programmers?

I’m an introvert, but all programmers I know use Windows (and badly in the sense they aren’t power users).

This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.

I se open sourcing all the things the way out of or beyond capitalism/communism/feudalism, a gateway for people to understand.

With all these RISC dev boards and laptops Im getting ao much hope & renesanse for the future I haven’t felt in a very long time.

While I understand that ‘runs Debian’ means ‘nothing but core works, this is for devs, not end users’ I really think this could be the global push towards open source hardware & software (with laptops such as these phones are soon to follow).
