Seit fünf Jahren lässt #DATAGROUP gebrauchte Firmen-IT von afb aufbereiten.
Rund 42.000 Geräte wurden seither entweder wiederverwendet oder recycelt. Die ReUse-Quote liegt bei 70 Prozent. Die Partnerschaft spart Ressourcen, senkt Emissionen und schafft inklusive #Arbeitsplätze.
Gute Sache prinzipiell. Aber leider bekommt man bei afb keine Geräte ohne vorinstalliertes Windows, wie mir vor einiger Zeit auf Nachfrage mitgeteilt wurde.
Also we are not sure yet if this is going to happen or not, but we have decided we want to merge our accounts together. So @preciousoso, and the rest of us can post on one account. Mainly so that we dont have to maintain two, and also because we want to just be us. not just her and then us, or not just us, and she is separated. So I am not sure how that will work. - Lily
Yaa, that's a good thought you're considering, we did that as well, saves time we could spend on something else instead of organising, switching between accounts, account management, time in seconds tends to be precious, so optimal solution was achieved, finally. With everyone's agreement. TM.
Cold, much? Damn sir. By the way did I remember correctly you have a TP-Link router? If so, do you want to test my script for making it much nicer to use it? If it wasn't you then I don't know who it was.
THe USA (as well as the rest of the world, maybe not including China) would have a serious problem if there was no internet. Systems would fail. Airplanes wouldn't fly. Powerr and heating would eventually go out. Grocery shopping would be impossible (no credit cards, no ATMs, no ability to restock). Same with telecoms (they're more resilient than everybody else, but they'd likely succumb to the same fate sooner or later).
I propose we put a 100% on American software and SaaS.
Your Adobe cloud ? 100% tariff. Your Copilot 365 ? 100% tariff. Your Windows license ? 100% tariff. Your Apple Studio license or subscription ? 100% tariff.
But there is an easier way. @pluralistic has the gist of it.
Repeal the portion of Harper's C-11 where DRM override Canadian rights. Make repairing things legal. Also cancel the copyright extension.
Put back the DST (but the banker would never dare to do so) to encompass these "rental services" mentionned above. Tax Uber, Lyft and other "gig economy". You should be able to reconcile that from the tax information and send them the bill.
The thing about saying on the Fediverse what our politicians should do is that we know they won't even hear it as we are not the CSAM generator and nazi bar they cherish so much.
Hi everyone. It's a balmy -5 right now. Later the windchill is expected to be -35. Needless to say this woman is not going anywhere. Right now I'm listening to Highway 61 revisited, one of my favorite radio shows on WUMB. Albert O is so good at presenting some lesser played classic music. Right now he's doing a Neil Diamond set as it's his 85th birthday. I'm just going to read, knit and maybe watch a movie later. Have a good day and staywarm and safe!
Sounds like a plan. I don't think I've ever experienced that kind of windchill in my life. (I remember Eloquence pronouncing windchill like "windkill," which seems appropriate sometimes. I wonder if it still does.) Sometimes I used to have to walk to the commuter rail station with a windchill of -15 F when I was up there, and it wasn't fun, but I'm pretty sure that was the most cold I've ever had to experience. We're getting freezing rain here, and people are advised to stay off the roads if at all possible. I was going to go to a meetup later today, but now it's happening over Zoom. It might get down into the teens in some places, and it's kind of an issue mostly because we don't normally prepare for that kind of cold. Freeze shelters need to open, pipes aren't very well insulated, and so on. But it isn't nearly as cold as what you're getting up there.
Someone might know of a way to do this, perhaps it already exists or I might need to have it coded.
I am looking for a tool for practicing my poems. I want something where I can set say...a 2 minute timer and get a warning 10 seconds before the timer ends. Any apps/programs I can do this with already? Please repost for reach.

I want to pitch in on what @randahl said in the attached post.
During my youth I was raised on a diet of U.S. culture: the Ponderosa Ranch felt as familiar as the bridge of the USS Enterprise.The good night to John boy was often also the signal for me that I had to go to bed now. From the moment I earned my own money, I started spending as many vacations in the United States as my budget allowed.
Most of the books I have read and I am reading have been written by U.S. authors. Most of the movies and TV series I see were made by Hollywood companies. A significant part of my verbal and written output is in a language different from my mother tongue.
Today I would say that my command of the English language, my knowledge of U.S. history and culture easily surpasses that of the current commander in chief.
But other than with Randahl, the cracks in the relationship started to show much earlier. When I came to the U.S. in October 2001, it felt like a different country. I no longer felt welcome and therefore no longer came visiting.
A friend of mine, who was working in the U.S. at that time and who was on his way to earning a U.S. citizenship was told by a border agent: "Shut up little shit, I can do with you whatever I want." His sin was to point out the regulations my friend knew much better than that agent. He terminated his job at the next occasion.
There were many such moments and every time, another fatigue fracture in my relationship to the United States appeared.
Trump is for me just the nail in the coffin. It is very big and tough nail, because he was elected a second time. Everyone knew what kind of man they elected. And they chose to do so nonetheless. I cannot and will not forget that.
I see the protests, I hear the voices of dissent but I also see the big passive masses, that accept what is happening. It is the same kind of silence my ancestors emitted when Hitler started his run.
Yes, I still have a lot of friends and other people in the U.S. I feel attached to and care a lot about. But for the country as a hole, I no longer give a damn fuck.
In my job "Pacta sunt servanda" is a very important phrase. I cannot do my work without trust.
I am convinced that the current U.S. will not abide any contract, any agreement, any promise if the big orange baby doesn't see a personal advantage in it. And I cannot have a relationship with someone I do not respect and trust.
Oh great, it had been a few weeks since the latest threats

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'
"China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life," Trump said.
let them have it. 100% on auto parts for US cars? Not our problem. 100% on lumber and wood pulp? Not our problem. 100% on our dirty oil? Not our problem.
@hub it's just like you were saying when it comes to auto parts & oil. drastically raising the price of cars & gasoline right before the US midterms? bold strategy Cotton 😂
