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.

Thank you for the detailed reply.

1. 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.

2. 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?

Fortunately it’s just my personal machine. Most of the organisation is on macOS anyway.

It’ll be enough of a challenge to properly transition existing docx to the gsuite were switching to.

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.

Ding ding ding

From one evil to another…

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.

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???

Wait, what?? I might have to replay it!

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.

True, but people generally understand hammers. Llms? Not so much

I mean 2.4mio divided by 30k is 80. So that’s a lot of patreon months…

Why so jerious?

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!

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.

Completely agree, it’s basically just botanicals anyway. Well and booze

Non alcoholic beer has gotten a lot better the last years as well.

Ich ab so eine, die Bürste ist doch aber nur über BT and das Telefon verbunden? Netzwerkzugriff braucht sie wirklich nicht. Wenn dann eventuell die oral-B App.

Thank you! I probably could have been more elaborate in the op. But it doesn’t seem like people really paid attention to it regardless. I don’t just plop in a message I received and go with whatever response. I sanitize the received message of personal information as much as possible, then I let the LLM know what I want to say, and then use the response as a starting point which I’ll further edit. Admittedly sometimes I get something that is just bang on and I’ll copy paste. But it rarely happens since the model can’t match my personal writing style.

As you recognise, it’s still my thoughts and feelings. It’s akin to having a secretary writing drafts for you maybe? Not that I would know anything about having a secretary, ha!

This is pretty much how I use it as well!! I wasn’t very detailed in the op.

And yes, the positive feedback is gold!

Understandable! I wouldn’t want to just talk to a chat bot either, whilst thinking I’m talking to a friend.

The way I use it is mostly to get a starting point from which I’ll edit further. Sometimes the generated response is bang on though and I admit I have just copy pasted.
