Well now the government knows? That’s assuming they didn’t know and / or haven’t been informed ahead of publication. I don’t see where the danger in having this information available publicly is?

I just don’t get the non voter. Granted I’m not a US citizen, but not voting in your election is effectively voting for fascist theocracy. Your electoral system sucks but if I could choose between having an arm or my heart removed I know what I’d choose.
If someone is curious: with the gestures disabled in the settings, touchegg doesn’t start up. I added a startup item with the command ‘touchegg’ and now my set up with touché as the config tool works.
The discussion went like nobody is properly using the SharePoint, but instead people send emails with poorly version numbered documents. After a couple of attempts to educate the users my argument was to drop the hammer: if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to work in the shared folders. If that’s true, we’ll see. But in the meantime I can get rid of windows. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.
See my comment below, we’re moving to gsuite. Basically, we have a problem with people not using the SharePoint but instead sending poorly version numbered documents per mail.
My argument was that if you’re forced to work online you’re more likely to do so in the shared folder. We’ll see if that’s true but at least we can get rid of office. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway. And we use zulip for communication.
I’ve used onedriver previously, or rather I do use it on my backup machine. While it works well what I’m missing is a progress indication for the download of files, I occasionally work with bigger video files f.ex. Also an option to keep directories synced permanently to the device would be great. In OneDrive you can check a box in the context menu to ‘make files available offline’. It keeps the file/directory synced and available offline. This is again useful for bigger projects. I could of course move those to a temporary location on disk but I do like the set and forget nature of working in automatically synced directories.
I assumed that’s best practice, thank you. What I find overwhelming is the amount of choice. Which is a general Linux “problem” I suppose. Yes, it’s possible and elegant to manage everything through the package manager and the default repos. But if I search for a specific program, like f.ex. a clipboard manager, I might just get recommended something that is not there. And all of a sudden I have an appimage. Or the nextcloud client for example, it’s on the flathub but only the appimage supports the above file on-demand feature.
Btw, how can I be sure that software from the flathub is kept up to date? My understanding is that it’s often community maintained?

Even if the knee on the back is not the cause what the fuck is wrong with the officers to just brush off his plea for help? Say he has an asthma attack and couldn’t breath, after he’s handcuffed on the floor there’s not much he can do himself. If you immobilised someone you need to take care of them. If they die in your care while calling for help at the least it’s negligence.
Können wir uns nicht vielleicht auf wirklich wichtig Themen konzentrieren? Klimakleber, Tempolimit, Migranten, Arbeitstotalverweigerer???! Was interessiert es denn wie China oder Russland Einfluss nehmen wenn die Ampel eh schon alles verbietet, inklusive unser christlich jüdischen Kultur?!?!
Warte auf Rückmeldung von einer zweiten Runde Bewerbungsgespräch. Die haben nach Referenzen gefragt und ich darf morgen ganz eng mit meinem Chef arbeiten den ich letzte Woche auf dem Anruf des potentiellen neuen Arbeitgebers vorbereitet habe. Eigentlich OK, er versteht es. Was mir den Schlaf raubt ist, bekomme ich dir Stelle???
Bullshit, by 2030 everything will be doomscrollable thanks to generative text AI. Our marketing department has done some research and concluded that our customers will stop using their device if they hit the bottom.
Or maybe it’s because nuclear power is ridiculously expensive and new designs are still a black hole in the budget. Wind and solar exist, right now, and are also carbon free, while being cheaper and not leaving the next 100 generations with radioactive waste. For which, by the way, we have but one final storage solution. Or is the facility in Finnland even up and running yet?

You use words for I need to get off here, please allow me to exit my seat?? Barbaric. A good rustling of your belongings, maybe a shift in the position your sitting and, if all fails, judgemental but thankful eye contact should be absolutely sufficient. Maybe MAYBE paired with a mumbled excuse me.
Ah yes, the dread all too sudden move in the seat. In such a case the only reasonable thing is to get up and stand for the rest of the ride. Worst case you might just have to walk home. The damage is already done.
I remember crying all the way to the next stop as a kid because I was too awkward to let my seat neighbour know that I needed to get up to press the stop button. In defence of the bus and its inhabitants everyone was very supportive. Good times!
