The fuckwit is a danger to everyone.
If you meet dicks everywhere you post maybe you should reflect a bit on why that might be. Just a suggestion.
This is almost 20 years ago today, so my memory is a bit hazy, but basically each student had an account with a certain amount of server space. I can’t remember the size, but given the amount of digital files we produced it would’ve been at minimum 500GB+/student. We could also “see” the account folder for everyone else in our class for file sharing and stuff.
There were also accounts/folders for each teacher which were used to turn in the primary copy of whatever assignment we had done if it was in digital form. Physical art were scanned or photographed also, as a sort of backup. We were also required to back every project up via USB sticks, ofc.
There was also a rack with individual docks for each digital camera that they had which allowed us to get our photographs transferred to our own folders. Since we could access those files from our accounts it also was a part of that server system.
There were also several networked and customised Macs used for single tasks, like larger printing projects and also for an airgapped paintgun for a lack of a better description. We avoided having to wear masks when we printed large sheets in single colours with it, for example. I have no idea what software that thing used, I think I used it like once or twice.
Now, I’ll freely admit that I haven’t touched a Mac since I left that school, and I’ve never had any interest in them whatsoever, so I don’t know what they used or if it even exists anymore. Someone with more knowhow maybe does?
I do remember them specifically (proudly) telling us it all ran on Macs, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have any reason to believe so. The “server room” was basically what looked like a glorified closet with a rack and a couple of Macs that didn’t look like the ones we students used. This was just before the all-in-one models were introduced, iirc.
Depending on what your definition of “enterprise” is, I’ve attended what was at the time a fairly large and prestigious art school that ran everything on Macs.
They even preferred that we didn’t bring windows laptops, although after some… rather intense protests by pretty much anyone under 25 we did get to bring our own peripherals.
Edit: I’ll also add that outside the shitty keyboards and mice, the server system they had set up with our accounts on etc was completely fine.
Never had a single issue with it and it was my first ever touching a Mac.
Still rooting for all the millions of you that I know are awesome people, but …yeah.
I’m Finnish, so if there’s one thing I’m aware of it is Putin and his various machinations.
I’ve been on the outside observing this escalating shit show for 8 years now and I think I’ve finally reached the point where I don’t even have the words to convey what I feel about the current state of American politics.
I mean, I know there’s a lot of history behind it etc., but just the past months? I don’t even…
I hope shit gets better for ya’ll, I sincerely do.
The politics here in the EU are just as messy, there’s simply a thin veneer of …something, class, perhaps, that trump managed to completely remove from American politics.
What happened in the UK is a genuine bright spot, though. I couldn’t stand Sunak, but at least he behaved like a fucking adult when the time came.
You’re quite correct on all points in my opinion, for what it’s worth.
Edit: although to be fair, Lincoln had to navigate an extremely complex political situation. He could’ve done a lot worse than how it ended up.
The guy is genuinely going for a dollar-store Hitler look (with his other actions adding to said nazi-theme) and this is your first reaction?
It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.
It’s almost poetic, really.
Best*, (I hope!?).
Just because I’m curious: I have chronic sarcoidosis in both lungs, and lifelong asthma. I’ve by some miracle survived 4 years, but at the cost of almost all the stamina I used to have. COVID still circulates around the daycares, youth clubs and workplaces here and I have children.
I don’t have an option to not wear a mask when I leave the room I’ve spent these 4 years in. Does that bother you?
Be honest and tell us you don’t give a shit about the people around you.
Edit: Not surprised at your lack of an answer.
Similar. Åland is predominantly Swedish-speaking (we’re a minority on the mainland), and they have fairly extensive legal autonomy as well.
In practice Åland is also a legally demilitarized zone, though I doubt Russia would give a fuck.
Åland is still a part of Finland, even though they have a certain degree of autonomy.
Relatively early on (can’t remember the date) Himmler gave a somewhat notorious speech about eventually recruiting far flung “true Aryans” from the US into the SS, much like they eventually did from several other countries.
Luckily history played out a bit differently.
At least there’s two three four of us.
“Grok” really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn’t it?
My pleasure. The great thing about The Guardian especially, besides the fact that they do try to cover the negative sides as well, is that they tend to separate ongoing events into their own pages. You can bookmark only Ukraine and check what has happened recently easily.
Granted, these days it’s mostly whatever bombings Russia has done during the night sprinkled with whatever counter attacks Ukraine manages, but still. In my opinion they’ve been quite quick with the updates when something major has happened. They covered Prigozhin’s road trip to Moscow last year very well, almost minute to minute.
If by economy you mean some of us are needed to mop up hydraulic ass-juices at gunpoint I suppose you’re technically correct. At least they have to feed us, right?
…right?
