  • Hurray! This German State Decides to Save €15 Million Each Year By Kicking Out Microsoft for Open Source

  • The Document Foundation does not provide professional support services for LibreOffice. It does, however, develop and maintain a certification system for professionals of various kinds who deliver and sell services around LibreOffice.

    That's a LOT different than the support you can get from Office. Enterprise contracts usually come with guaranteed uptime, 24/7 immediate L3 support, custom hotfixes for specific workflow issues, and much more.

    I get that it's expensive, most people don't need that, and there should be better options. Unfortunately, there quite often isn't. The difference between Office and the second best of a huge margin.

    On top of that, the integration costs can be massive as all your workflows are built for Office products. At the least, the companies need to find a way to replace all your macros, addins, and queries.

  • Here's a nice quote from The Communist Manifesto:

    What are the common wages of labour, depends everywhere upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

    It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorizes, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen...

    We rarely hear, it has been said, of the combinations of masters, though frequently of those of workmen. But whoever imagines, upon this account, that masters rarely combine, is as ignorant of the world as of the subject. Masters are always and everywhere in a sort of tacit, but constant and uniform combination, not to raise the wages of labour above their actual rate... Masters, too, sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour even below this rate. These are always conducted with the utmost silence and secrecy, till the moment of execution, and when the workmen yield, as they sometimes do, without resistance, though severely felt by them, they are never heard of by other people...

    A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.

    Ah shit, never mind. This was from Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations

  • I'm also in the Midwest (Indiana) and have the opposite experience.

    They might not be perfect homophones but you're rarely using a full hard T sound. Usually something between a d and t sound.

  • There was a school shooting on the same day Thompson was killed. Without looking it up, can anyone name a single victim?

    I'm not saying I support murder, but I don't understand why I should care more about his life than those who are objectively more innocent.

  • A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it'll make them a bit better.

    Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

  • Well, in addition to his attempt to ban milfepristone, he also ruled that the Biden administration could not enact protections for transgender employees.

    Why? Well, sure, Title VII protects transgender individuals from discrimination, but that doesn't mean it protects any of their conduct, actions, or anything else. So you can't fire someone for being trans, but the moment they "act" trans, present as the opposite gender, ask for you to use their pronouns, etc., it's completely different and they totally can be fired.

    He's constantly choosing to selectively ignore parts of the legal code so it fits his view better. He believes he has the power to redefine words - once demanding that the lawyers on both sides use the term "unborn baby" instead of "fetus" because he says fetus is a made-up word and a liberal plot.

    He also tried to overturn the ACA... In 2022.

  • Unlike every other judicial district in America, Northern Texas does not assign cases to any district judge at random. Instead, they limit assignments to judges who are within the division the case was filed in.

    Since he's the only judge in the Amarillo Division, you can guarantee a hyperpartison super-conservative judge if you file there.

    The only exception I've seen is when you're dealing with the ingredients before they've been cooked, like with pizzas.

  • Agreed.

    Humans can be vegan because we're omnivores. Meat isn't the only source we need to get our nutrition. Our bodies are fantastic at pulling nutrients from different food sources.

    Cats and dogs are not. They are carnivores. Their bodies cannot adequately process the nutrition from non-meat sources.

    Humans can also take supplements for whatever nutrients we're missing. It's much harder to get an animal to take them, especially when you're looking at how many would be required on a vegan diet.

    Finally, ask any vet what foods to avoid and they will tell you that you don't want to ever give your animal those small-batch/boutique foods. They are almost never nutritionally complete since they're designed to appear appealing to the humans, not the animals. They also often aren't produced in a clean food-safe environment.
