You’re already seeing multiple European governments moving to FOSS office suites.

We definitely go hard.

Ah so it’s where you peg up a goon bag on a rotating clothes line and get a group all standing in a circle underneath. Spin the line and see who drinks.

Ah, that explains it. Don’t often see folks outside Australia know about it. Did he explain goon of fortune to you?

Aussie?

Thanks for the link, I really want to see if NDIS might fund something like this. Does it slide around a lot? Also does it play nice with your fitted sheet?

Surely it doesn’t do this when your internet drops out, right? RIGHT??

Eight Sleep also sells its Autopilot feature through an annual subscription that starts at $199.

I don’t really want my bed running stop signs and murdering innocent folks.

Did you read the full post?

Servers can see the incoming IP address for a request, that is personal data.

Like if you’re going to run out of gas in the next 20 miles and there isn’t an Exxon station within 100 miles, do you just pass all other gas stations and have your employees break down on the side of the road?

Honestly? Yeah, pawbably. Or you pay for it yourself and go through getting a reimbursement which may or may not happen.

Edit: Just like, you’re expecting companies to be intelligent and reasonable, and they just aren’t.

To be pedantic for a sec, the term is black start. Just cause I think it’s super dystopian sounding.

It’d be like if ExxonMobil didn’t allow their employees with company cars to fill up at a Chevron station.

That is likely very much the case. When you drive a company vehicle, you have a fuel card for fill-ups that is for a particular chain and doesn’t work anywhere else.

Very clever and smart, clearly you have good takes on the world.

Think small businesses, charities, local municipal services, etc. Small IT budgets, low staff (if any) and just enough to pad out a subscription cost to a service provider that fits their needs.

Did we not read the same comment? Not every service that was taken down was a website, like OP’s school. Plenty of small businesses, charities or local municipal services don’t have IT staff, commissioned their sites (including initialisation) and don’t necessarily know that 𝑥 company they pay, pays Amazon. Or how to do a whois search. You clearly don’t have a firm grasp on the realities of the world, nor work in IT “doing websites”.

It’s honestly just a mistake for everyone: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

Sorry but I will feel zero percent bad about deadnaming a company owned by a transphobe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

¿que?

Yeah I mean, we’ve been heavily influenced by the US and UK historically, so we have a deeply racist disposition. Our treatment of Indigenous Australians is as much of a blight on our history as it is for other English-speaking nations like the US, Canada and South Africa. I do still strongly believe we’re doing better in a lot of ways, for example we’ve started using indigenous place names, acknowledging traditional land ownership and other steps. But we’re far from perfect, and if you come here with that conceptualisation then you’ll definitely be disappointed.

Wait, are you trying to make the argument that capitalists sell things for below cost???

No, they are cheaper at a grid-level power source level.
