This is your city on driverless cars.
A blackout in San Francisco yesterday cut power to traffic lights. Drivers coped; Waymos just stopped moving, often in intersections, stranding passengers and compounding gridlock.

We've got plans to host a special #CircusInPlace vidchat next week for folks who need a hideout from the holidays.
Most likely Wednesday evening.
Hang in there, friends. â€
this might be a weird question, but are you always truly genuine with your friends or family, or do you catch yourself saying things that sort of give the impression of connection without really saying anything? or maybe you intend to actually have a conversation, but end up just sort of landing on lines that are sort of aesthetically pleasing without substance? Or maybe you notice people doing that to you sometimes
is there a word for this behavior? are we talking at each other instead of to?

And guess what even more? #GoogleDrive also has "Copy Link" in their context menu. Aren't they secure enough? I don't know. But they are *convenient*. And *accessible*.
UPD. this post was inspired by my struggles with sharing Nextcloud links and by this ongoing discussion. TL;DR: The option was there, it worked like a charm, but then it was removed because of "security".

Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...SebjuFrab (GitHub)

I don't know if something like that is possible for OneDrive or GoogleDrive but for Nextcloud it is possible that YOUR idea becomes true. đ

Sorry, I'll edit my post to give more context, because you're right that it sounds like mere whining.

Please something else than VM Ware? I feel like already the download is redicolous.
I don't really care much about cerifications of any sort so I can't be sure I'm describing the right one, but I remember when working at a small ISP/datacenter we wanted to get SOC II (??) compliance to please some customer and the process was like this:
Me: what are the requirements?
đ€ We have to document all our processes and procedures
Me: and then what?
đ€: an auditor will verify (by quizzing you in front of a computer screen they don't understand) to prove you're following the documented processes and procedures
Me: okay, but like what do we have to do? How long do we have to retain customer backups, for example?
đ€: there is no requirement. How long are you retaining customer backups?
Me: well we had that failure so right now we only have 6 months
đ€: so document 6 months
Me: can we just say one month? And then we exceed our documented retention by a good margin?
đ€: yes
Me: this is a scam isn't it?

TIL that the sixth largest pipe organ in the world is contained within the home of a man from Alabama called Barry Norris.
According to Wikipedia, it has 11,200 pipes.
By comparison, the Royal Albert Hall's organ (which TIL is called The Voice of Jupiter, which is an amazing name) has just 9,999 pipes. Tiny. Pathetic.
