My father told me that Bill Gates designed and distributed COVID. Iirc to reduce world population or sell vaccines or whatever.

From that time onwards, I felt I could not guess whatsoever anymore what he’d believe to be true. All the belief in energy and human influence through thought alone and even across distance solidified that feeling.

It’s a loose loose situation.

“What happens when you die” - I assume you mean after you die (not during), and to your consciousness, your awareness rather than your body.

The same as before you came to be. Not like you fell asleep; you’re gone.

I’d love questions like that. Not that I have a kid.

One approach is asking her what she thinks, or if she can guess. Can be split into whether she knows why he is so wealthy.

Being concrete should make it pretty clear. You get paid what you get paid. And that’s that.

And that’s a great opportunity to talk about how wealth does not correlate with value or commitment or investment or ethics.

Our biggest dependency is on the jira extension for adding work time and doing monthly and yearly worker Abrechnung.

I believe the hope was to be a reasonable migration to cloud, but if course man’s issues and a lot of effort. Now we’re in the cloud with that.

We wouldn’t only need a ticketing replacement. But time, invoice, and lawful worker pay docs.

I hate the sent folder in the first place.

Old outlook had a setting to place sent emails next to the replied to email. That worked for all folders, except the inbox.

In Thunderbird I let it place sent emails always next to the context.

In the new Outlook, after every send, I have to go into sent and move it to the correct folder. (I have many folders for structure of various concerns.)

You’re right, it can’t be 1 fps. Maybe 10? I’ll have to check next time.

Find the Capybaras

I can recommend this one! It has incredible battery life!

It also has huge images and videos of happy people, so it must be great!

Bad UI/UX.

When I screenshare code with my colleages, the 1 fps can be irritating. You miss subtle editing, scrolling, etc in those 1 s.

I can ignore most other things. We only use it for online meetings and screen sharing.

Which makes the new apparent calendar and appointment integration somewhat irritating. Microsoft loves to push their shit.

I love marketing that tells me nothing about the product or service. 🤢

Our shit setup at work, where I am now using two browsers and two email programs because our Jira and Confluence can’t be arsed to decently support web standards/Firefox and because Outlook is shit but Exchange has stuff I need Outlook for.

Today was the first time, after yet again something not working - issues on confluence and Jira ticket can’t be closed, endless load on Firefox - where I genuinely felt relieved that a very different website for file transfer simply worked. I could open it, click download, and download the file.

It’s absurd that I feel this way.

Atlassian is shit for forcing us into the expensive cloud for a shit product. Our Jira and Confluence have plugins, and we pay admin company to integrate more customizations, and it just makes everything worse. The “changes only happen at night” I read from Atlassian is pointless because without notice or announcement stuff breaks anyway, and I have no idea who makes changes and when and what, because nothing is being communicated. Today was the third time we weren’t able to add work time to tickets. Let’s see when the next time will be.

It’s a constant annoyance and stumbling over shit tools.

I have various CSS hacks in place to make Jira and Confluence more usable, but it’s still shit. And man their HTML DOM is absolutely horrendous with only generated classes. Most of my CSS hacks use test ID attributes.

Shit Atlassian, shit Jira and Confluence, shit customizations. Annoying Outlook and Exchange.

Man this became a long text and rant lol

Unfortunately, they’re not useless but apparently necessary. I don’t see us ever moving away from them.

The German Dreckstool website (meaning shit tool) hosts a hitlist of shitty tools/software. I don’t think it’s that popular, but the top/high-scored of the list may be indicative of some of the worst.

When one roll is empty, have you considered rolling half of a new roll onto it?

black-box feed shaping algorithms

Recent EU legislation already requires insight into feed algorithms. They’re not allowed to be black-box on huge platforms.

Back-doors is another issue, but depending on the kind of personal data, EU legislation already requires separation and different levels of protection.

If data being sent to the US can not be considered safe, it can not be transferred without explicit and informed consent. US firms create EU firms to have regional legal entities. They can store private data locally, within the EU.

No, because regulation works; or can work. We can require them to follow our laws because they’re invested in our market too.

There are regular fines for GDPR violations for example; it just feels like our checks and fines need to happen faster and harder.

China regulates their platforms like TikTok differently in their own country than outside. We can require the same.

Life is self-emerging. There is no higher or predefined purpose. You can live without one, or define your own, which may or may not change over time.

Regarding death as the ultimate conclusion; you can make of it what you want. You can consider what you leave behind. You can see life itself as worthwhile, without a need for an end-goal that follows after.
