  • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.

  • I don't know what you're driving at, but whatever you think you know about what I've done and what I've seen, it's not nearly as much as you think you know. I work with IT, with software as much as I work in those fields. I experience bugs as much as anyone. I've seen the contempt many software devs and professionals have for regular, non-technical users so many times, it manifests in their attitudes, their documentation, their responses to GitHub tickets, their UX decisions.

    I don't care if we are the same or not. Don't make assumptions you can't corroborate.

  • First of all, as a time honored tradition it is customary to say this: Never, ever trust an autosave.

    I've worked in IT and software development for 25 years, and this is literally the first time I hear someone say this, never mind call it a 'tradition' to say it.

  • I grew up in that different time too, but I completely agree with the person you're replying to.

    Auto save is a must. No arguments. You can have personal preferences and behaviours that make you want to disable autosaving and control your saves manually, that's perfectly fine, but that's you and your preference. A modern application should absolutely have autosaving enabled by default. Anything else is user unfriendly and indefensible.

  • ‘Shame on you,’ Polish prime minister tells US Republican senators after Ukraine bill blocked – Europe live

    Jump

  • That's assuming Republicans have a moral compass or consistent ideological positions. That's not the case though. It's all just about what benefits them and their donors.

  • The people of the US have the choice to not only elect their parliaments, but also the president. They also elect DAs and Sheriffs in many places. The people of the US have more democratic rights than most other people in countries considered democracies.

    The fact that they're having more elections does not mean they have 'more democratic rights'.

    I for example fail to see the point of the US mid-term elections. It doesn't make the US system more democratic, just more complex.

  • Ugh, crediting Reagan with the liberation of the Eastern Bloc like that is hugely disrespectful to the people from those countries who put themselves on the line to fight for freedom - including Solidarność in Poland itself. Reagan didn't have that much to do with it, especially his 'famous' speech which didn't really have much of an impact at all at the time.

  • Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks

    Jump

  • No it doesn't. Gitlab's pricing has been pretty stable, with one increase in the premium tier in the past six years ($19 --> $29 per user per month).

  • 10 and 20 are somewhat contradictory.

  • AfD leader ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, says German Social Democrats head

    Jump

  • Every far right party ever, in any given country, has claimed and still claims that the asylum system of the respective country is 'broken'. That doesn't make it actually true. But in the history of right wing parties, the foreigner, the immigrant, the 'other' has always been the prime scapegoat, for any problem they could possibly conjure up.

    Just after the German reunification, neonazis started violent attacks that targeted immigrants and asylum seekers. This violence has not stopped. Neonazis are responsible for a major part of politically motivated violence too.

    But political parties like the AfD know the score. They formulate their programs in a way that makes it hard to find grounds for outright bans. To say that their program has to give grounds for a ban is short-sighted - that will never happen. They need to be judged by the things they say outside of their programs, and by the actions they commit and inspire.

  • AfD leader ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, says German Social Democrats head

    Jump

  • I would have said something like that about five years ago.

    Since then, the AFD and its leaders have shown us their true colours, and especially with the recent fantasizing over mass deportations and other stuff, it's crystal clear what they are: fascists. No sheep's clothing involved here any more.

  • Europe is marching to the right. If UK's Keir Starmer wins this year's election, the Labour leader will find himself a beacon of hope for progressives in Europe, researcher says

    Jump

  • What, with all the posturing Starmer has done to appease the right-wing, he's going to be a 'beacon of hope for progressives'?

    Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
