Well... I wanted to look into compiling MS-DOS 4.0 after Microsoft released the sources today.

Looks like it won't compile from scratch because the conversion to git killed some characters and inlined byte-sequences :(

@felsqualle maybe bring it to @shanselman attention. As far as I understand it, he was vital in releasing it to the public. The issue tracker is probably not enabled, is it?

Tapping the sign:

You don't take meeting notes for the people in the meeting. You take them for people who aren't in the meeting.

That includes three-months-from-now-you, who also isn't in the meeting.

@xahteiwi Something no one in my company understands. I was on PTO for like 6 days and I do not know shit about anything. When I was young and full of vigor, I went back and tried actively to collect all information that might be relevant. I don't do that no more. If people want me to know something, they better have some meetings notes or a handover or something. Documentation really is the last thing anyone ever wants to do.

@xahteiwi @railmeat If it was that easy ;). I would not say that I do not work with professionals. I tried to build a team like that – but at a certain point they also have to "let you", i.e. the company needs to be structured and willing to work like that. Especially in a large enterprise company. A lot also depends on the systemic environment you need to operate in. Without being to go into specifics publicly.

Blame @czottmann, I stole the idea from him! All shows, movies, games, talks, podcasts and (audio-)books I consumed in March https://jason.re/post/media-diet-march-2024/. Thanks for the idea Carlo, I hope it sticks and I'll keep it up 😅

Ich habe gerade in einem halbvollen oberbayerischen Wirtshaus ein Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln für 13,90 gegessen und musste fast 45 Minuten darauf warten, weil die Kellnerin alleine ist. Mittags ist geschlossen.

Entweder wir sind bereit, angemessene Preise zu bezahlen, oder die Wirtshäuser auf dem Land werden in Zukunft noch schneller sterben, als sowieso schon in den vergangenen 20 Jahren. Ich möchte das nicht.

jason,
@jason@click.ba.it avatar

@holgi @rstockm ein weiteres Problem noch oben drauf: viele können sich andere Preise als 2004 auch gar nicht erlauben, gerade mit Kindern. Als wir den Familienbetrieb noch hatten (bis ca. 2010) war die untere Mittelschicht und aufwärts noch sehr regelmäßig im Restaurant anzutreffen. Das ist sehr stark zurück gegangen.

@grillchen @holgi @rstockm Spannend. Ich bin als "junger Mensch" (also vor 15 - 20 Jahren) lieber zum Essen und Trinken gegangen als selbst zu kochen (und tue das immer noch lieber). Im Freundeskreis habe ich das als "normal" wahrgenommen. Woher kommt die Verhaltensänderung? Liegt es am finanziellen oder hat sich der Zeitgeist einfach geändert? Rückgang des Alkoholkonsums könnte definitiv ein weiterer Faktor sein.

I really, really wanted to ditch Google Chrome because of their constant enshittification and their stance on blocking ads. But Safari makes it very hard for me to love it. The plugin system is far worse compared to Chrome, the UI feels wonky and the UX is average at best. I loved Safari's "iCloud Tabs" integration, but that is about it.

Now with the recent changes in iOS 17.4 to comply with EU's Digital Markets Act, it might be time to re-visit using Google Chrome as my main browser on the iPhone.

I also tried Firefox, but it is even challenged rendering my very tiny crappy blog. Don't get me wrong, Safari is challenged in that department too, but if I compare the rendering of Safari, Chrome and Firefox, Firefox is clearly the outlier, being often the only browser to render it "wrong" or just "differently".

I will take another look at Firefox in June, when the "Manifest v3 API" is live, and the ramifications and restrictions for ad blocking plugins is a bit more palpable for me.

@czottmann Yes, I think you mentioned Brave before, and I still won't touch it with a ten foot pole 😬 https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/

Puh, wie armselig der @tagesschau Artikel mal wieder ist: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/bahn-streik-gdl-116.html.

„Was könnte die Politik denn machen? - Die Politik könnte zum Beispiel das Streikrecht in den Blick nehmen. Die FDP brachte zuletzt eine Einschränkung des Streikrechts bei kritischer Infrastruktur ins Gespräch. Aus Sicht der FDP treffe ein Streik im Nah- und Fernverkehr vor allem Arbeitnehmer. Der Staat müsse künftig sicherstellen, dass eine gewisse Grundversorgung immer verfügbar wäre.“

Was zur Hölle?! Wie wäre es den vielleicht mal mit "die Manager verpflichten ernstzunehmende Gespräche zu führen" oder mal echte Politik zu machen und die Bahn in die Zukunft zu führen?

Es gibt genug Experten die seit Jahren genau aufschlüsseln was die Politik mal tun müsste. Tun sie aber nicht. Unter anderem, weil Anstalten wie die ARD und Redaktionen wie die Tagesschau solche Bahn-Management- und Politik-freundliche Artikel schreiben, und keinen öffentlichen Druck aufbauen.

"Vierte Gewalt“ am Arsch!

Welches Buch sollte ich lesen wenn ich Dinge über modernes Python lernen möchte?

Mir muss niemand mehr erklären, was eine Variable, eine Klasse, eine Methode ist, was der Unterschied zwischen call-by-value und call-by-reference ist, aber ich würde gerne mal die Eigenheiten von python erklärt bekommen die man wissen sollte um guten Code zu schreiben.

I really wanted to give Safari a chance and I really, really tried. I totally dig their "cloud tabs" feature. But I never had more issues with non-working or glitching websites in my life. The plugin and extension system feels horribly clunky.

And do not reply and try to convert me to use "Firefox" please. I tried it, its not for me.

jason,
@jason@click.ba.it avatar

@czottmann I did not test Brave, Vivaldi or Orion. I was burned by Opera once, since then I vowed not to use any "niche" browser ever again 😆. I am always "the lucky one" that will use a browser which is then not properly supported anymore or the company who makes it runs into financial turmoil – or is even going bankrupt.

I have tried Edge, but as Google, they are "improving" the browser too much. For me, Edge quickly reached a level of "enshityification" that is too much for me.

I will probably end up compiling my own Chromium. Though I will miss the feature to look up tabs from my other Chrome installations – and it will be a pain in the ass to install updates and fixes. My main reason for trying Safari again was the very good iOS and macOS integration.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Thas was quick, I have a copy now. Also thank you for reminding me of archive.org - I always tend to forget them. Shame on me!

Fediverse, I am in dire need to acquire an ISO for a Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 (US English). Can anyone help and provide me a downloadable, original ISO?

Microsoft Premier Support cannot help me and I need the database software to migrate to a newer version to finally retire this piece of 💩.

Boost appreciated!

    @chris does that mean you cannot control the temperature in your own apartment? I am genuinely confused 😅

    jason,
    @jason@click.ba.it avatar

    @chris Big Oof. So theoretically it should be x degrees in every room in every appartment? That means the heating in your appartment is broken/misconfigured somewhere in the central system? Interesting concept.

    jason,
    @jason@click.ba.it avatar

    @chris but the concept then is totally broken, isn't it? Will you get a way to change the heat yourself in the appartment in the future? I am totally amazed that this is a common and accepted way for heating. Fascinating!

    @Viss Why? What happened?

    jason,
    @jason@click.ba.it avatar

    @Viss Ah, interesting. I dont see them in my client. I had to go to your profile as they were posted "unlisted".

    Ugh all the wrong decisions. Was in a VMware call today about our company's strategic direction in regards to VMware products. I guess I have to be in another one very soon.

    jason,
    @jason@click.ba.it avatar

    @Viss Oh, one was unlisted and one was public. But I still dont see them in my client when I visit your profile through Ivory. Weird 🤔 (screenshot from your profile that shows one is unlisted). But why do I not see any reposts when I use the client. That is wild.

    jason,
    @jason@click.ba.it avatar

    @Viss That is the only part of the protocol and Mastodon that I really, really dislike. I’ll take a closer look and hope I'll be able to troubleshoot a bit.
