The fact that they seem to really have expected a Biden “pardon” is absolutely hilarious to me.

A regime like Putin’s is stable until it suddenly is not. Russia has a lot of dark times ahead of it.

ToC via Styles formatting and Table of authorities - these are from the top of my head, which I remember not working properly with Open Office. They need to work when I do them and also should be displayed correctly when I receive them from colleagues in docx format.

Format painter, track changes, spell checker in two languages, intendation adjustments, page breaks, and paste as text - I use these like crazy but I don’t remember if they were OK in Open Office or not.

Can I use MS Office natively with that? Also, can I use it as a non-techie lay man in a way that is similar to the way most office bottom-feeders use Windows?

I know there is Open Office but I am lawyer and the free office alternatives just don’t have the rich formatting options I need to do my job. I have tried and they just won’t do.

well, they had it coming

Is this the company that was criticised for banning adult content?

GDPR violation.

F you, Uber.

They tried to bypass taxi laws in our main city and the municipality just kicked them out. Never thought I would say it, but here am I:

Good job, government. Well done.

Good riddance

This cannot be said enough times: Russia is a terrorist state. Nothing excuses Russia’s war of agression. Failure to help Ukraine amounts to complicity in genocide.

These tech companies leaving certain places to avoid regulation, while sucking up to censorship laws in Russia and the likes… They can shove it, if you ask me.

Do you even billionaire, bro?

I am from Eastern Europe and I share this sentiment when I see anyone from the West defending communism. The issue is complicated but, to put it bluntly:

No, Timothy, communism didn’t fail in Eastern Europe because it was implemented wrongly. This is a very complicated topic but the tldr summary is “It is a broken idea, it did not work and it will never work. The natural and logical outcome of any attempt at Marxism is a bloodbath followed by autocracy.”

That being said, communism isn’t the only way to achieve a more equitable society. You have social democracy (in Lennin’s words - communism’s greatest adversary); organized labour movements; collectivist anarchism; communitariasm, etc.

Communism, as applied in the 20th century, violently fought against or oppressed all of these movements and is incompatible with any of them.

Not to mention that in most countries nowadays orthodox communists have been hugely discredited for excusing the Russian war of annihilation against the Ukrainian people.

In conclusion, if you live in the USA or Western Europe and you are unhappy with how corporate greed has ruined society, don’t look to communism for answers. There are many other proposed solutions out there - go and research these. Communism is very well known, which makes it easily accessible to people who want change - but it is never, ever the solution.

It’s not in the store. NewPipe.net and install the APK file.

Heroes of might and magic III. I play it 25 years later and it would be great to share some time on it with my child, one she grows up.

So sad there are no free alternatives such as NewPipe that do exactly the same thing.

Amazing

No joke, I have been receiving random emails with possibly privileged information from the largest corporation in my country for some 10 years now. It is as if Nokia started copying a random Finn to internal emails.

It is usually minor but relevant stuff - like invoices, B2B pricing, cargo reports, etc. Really boring. Probably a professional in the field could still make sense of it but for me it’s gibberish.

Last year I got an invite for their Christmas party, with a request to select a menu option. That was nice of them.

So, yeah. These things happen. The ethical thing is to just delete the emails.
