I really miss Microsoft AD configuration GUI.

Wait, no, that sort of group you have to make through Entra, formerly Azure admin center, wait no they actually wanted a SharePoint site for the group, wait no you can’t do that through entra even though you can see the groups, you have to do that through O365 admin center, wait no you can only make a SharePoint aaand teams group there, you have to click more -> SharePoint admin center and then create a new group there, but not the default, you have to click “show more group types”, but where can you modify the members of this group? Oh you can just go back to O365 admin center to do that. Now you want to make some small access changes to the force-created email for the group? Oh well you have to go to Exchange admin center for that. Wait, not Outlook admin center? No they are named different things just to make it easy.

Now someone who made an event involving the group is on holiday so I have to remove it, I can do that from exchange admin center right? Well actually the easiest way to do that is to log into Exchange from a power shell terminal through the GUI pop-up and terminal commands. But wait, the search for the event actually doesn’t work there ever, even with the exact name? I guess I will give myself rights to the calendar, reboot Outlook, go to the calendar, remove the event, go back to the terminal, remove my rights to the calendar, restart outlook.

Actually, I don’t miss Microsoft sysadmin tools.

Spotify has partnered with a company essentially trying to do this exact thing apparently

Sadly, DuckDuckGo really sucks ass at searching the fediverse.

Even if you type in the exact words of the post, it will display 1 post and that is it, then switch to other sources. Probably because of all of the different server names that aren’t Lemmy.

Lol, I ran 5 years on arch without a break.

Now 6 months of Bazzite without a break.

I think the age of distros shipping severely broken updated is over. And it was always, ALWAYS grub that broke after an update on mint and opensuse 10 years ago for me.

And ceos are somehow significantly worse and consistently (and in many industries), almost exclusively make decisions directly opposing the common good including intentionally leading the world forward into societal and ecological collapse and quadrupling down on that stance… Because it makes them more quarterly profit. I guess we just have to let AI do it.

It’s funny because rich people notoriously do NOT pay the wages of police because they tax dodge so hard that it often crosses the line of illegal, even with all of the extremely pro-mega-rich laws and exemptions that america has.

I listened to a ton when I bike to and from work. 40 minutes gets like 2 episodes a day, plus when I am at work

There were many bad translations, and many purposefully bad ones.

Is it easier to exert control over a population with eternal damnation or proportional punishment?

I love just straight up lying. I wish it was 1¢ per GB. Maybe the most dirt cheap Chinese off-brand that only has 1/2 of its listed capacity usable because it is a refurb labelled as new. 100€ for a 10TB is insane.

Even going higher capacity to get a lower price per GB, 10TB drives are around 300€. That is 0.03€ per GB. 20TB drives are around 525€. (These are just consumer drives too, enterprise is significantly more expensive for the MTBF ratings) Still 0.026€ per GB. Once you get into ultra high capacity, it starts going up again because of tech limitations.

I wish that we could get KNX ETS6 in WINE. But it has a USB component though many or most people use IP configuration instead.

Hence why I said it

Oh no! I really hope this doesn’t start happening to all of the CEOs and board members that make a profit off of legally killing people

I think this is what they are referring to.

I saw a Lemmy thread about it, but the main takeaway is that it was a completely different program than what we know and love. It just happened to be named the same IIRC.

This is what I need.

If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don’t need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.

Lol league was extremely toxic in 2010 when streaming wasn’t a thing. I got sucked in and became toxic in 2011-2012 before I quit altogether. Best decision I ever made regarding video games.

It is the player base, not the streamers, that ruin the game.

But maybe this will help a little bit.

Here in Belgium we have cryptographically signed tokens on our legally mandated IDs.

You can use that token to do all sorts of things (my company uses them as authorship signatures for our quality system for medical devices), but if we had some standard like that, then we could have some software that would have a OTP based on that that is a huge list of valid OTPs in a website API or so, not linked to the token itself. (So you would have to trust this software that generates the OTP). You will get people using the same OTP, but that wouldn’t matter because it would just be a validity check. Lind of like the old product key generators for games.

Sure this could be abused or gotten around by a programmer or hack, but for 95% of the population it would be effective age verification without giving away any information or statistics. Sure, people could also abuse it and save a code and use it constantly, but then they would already have been verified. Sharing a code around would also happen with teens, but it would be far more effective than not, especially for the low stakes of age verification.

Hibernation doesn’t work at all on my windows HP work laptop. Sleep has gotten way way better on Linux in the past 2 years even. My desktop that would be buggy going in and out of sleep has now been flawless such that I auto sleep it after 30 minutes.

Battery life on Linux still sucks though.

Literally the 2nd post on [email protected] is about mega corporations financials. Many other posts are about legal cases of megacorporations.

It seems to be less about technology, and more about the market and software drama/politics.

At least no musk spam.

Those trackpads better have damn good palm reject because getting to those thumbsticks without brushing the trackpads will be impossible for many people.

That’s assuming 100% of non-voters don’t support him which definitely is not true.
