Facebook: makes a system where the only way to get engagement is to hatepost.

People on facebook: hateposts

People: “How could this happen?”

I bet most of them are affiliated with a Christian church of some variety, at least 60%

Yep, it’s not that Firefox is bad. It’s that the people currently in charge of it are trying to be greedy assholes and operate like the greedy assholes that run other companies.

Get rid of those people or otherwise stop them from their greedy assholery and The Firefox hate would stop.

What is a sissy hypno mode?

I am IT staff and I’ve worked for government in the past.

No matter how easy you make the swap over, no matter how much money it offers to save, there’s gonna be somebody who has sign off level executive authority who will refuse to change anything, because it means changing something, and they won’t like it.

Making a company-wide transition from Microsoft to a free version that does exactly the same is not a simple change.

If you make the change, you’re going to see a huge upswing in the number of support calls. You’re going to see a huge upswing in the number of complaints. You’re going to see downturns in efficiency and productivity as people make the changes, not to mention the fact that administering libreoffice from an organizational standpoint is a completely different beast from administering office.

I’m not saying that it can’t be done, by any stretch of the imagination.

I’m saying that the human element is the largest factor in whether or not it would be done, and unless you are already the city administrator or a big to-do inside of the fish pond you find yourself in, you likely do not have the human capital needed to make the transition, regardless of every other benefit.

If you want to get this done, I would suggest preemptively installing libre office on every single computer in the entire organization and then slowly telling people to use it as the opportunity arises so that three to five years from now there will be enough people who have used it that the transition would not be a huge ordeal.

Short of that you need to have an executive mandate from on high come in and say, we are not using Microsoft Office anymore, we will use LibreOffice, here are your training hours, go.

They don’t jail you, they take every penny you’ve ever had or will have for the rest of your life.

It’s only fair, you becoming destitute for liking a post is far better than the risk that they didn’t get their $24.95 from you. /s

It’ll save you nearly $50 a month. So even if the customer service is exactly the same, you get to keep another $600 each year.

I switched to my local provider from Xfinity about three months ago, and my internet speeds are twice as fast for the same money.

Yeah, and?

Do you honestly believe there’s a single person on lemmy with enough gravitas to be worth being tracked by the elite?

When “hundredths fractions of security” fails to get a laugh, I know I’m in the wrong group of people.

Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?

I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.

I didn’t say it’s secure, I just said it’s security.

You can’t say that a solution is no security at all when it requires time and intelligence to bypass.

It is at least 0.01 security.

Also money, which are just political points in tangible/fungible format

Long story short, people that use it get really used to using it.

You know?

You made me think about this for a minute and I think I figured it out.

Use the circle pin to draw the circle.

Then use the select tool to select the circle that you drew.

Then use the grow/shrink tool to shrink the selection by however many pixels thick you want the circle to be.

Then use the erase tool to erase all the parts of the circle that you don’t want.

Easy peasy.

Thank you. I was afraid I was being a little too subtle.

Kubuntu isn’t too bad

You can also use the brush tool and just draw a circle that’s completely filled in at whatever size you want and then remove the inner portion that you don’t want by switching to the erase tool and then shrinking the size of the circle brush to what you don’t need and clicking directly in the center of the circle.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust that. I have used Xfinity for a long time and my IP address often went months without changing.

If I want to scream into the void, I can do that anywhere and anytime, and I do not need a web server to do it.

To quote Ariel, I want to be where the people are.
