Still waiting on news from .zip. I applied weeks ago, never got an email. Ah, well, I’m trying out piefed while I wait.
I took it as a chance to make a better username and give myself a profile pic. Switched to piefed, and… I’m still unsure about it.
Hello, can I suggest the package code for LXML? I once wondered why the fuck etree.tostring() returned a bytes object instead of a fucking string and made the mistake of diving into the function. Never again. That library is cursed script condensed from the haunted cries of forgotten pharaohs and inscribed in the blood of a newborn foal onto an ancient ash tree under Venus’ vexatious gaze.
Holy shit, so I’m not just uniquely terrible at understanding people on the phone? I’ve searched so long for a phone that does high-quality phone calls, and I can’t believe I never figured that it was a problem with both the phones and the carriers.
Also the best place to learn how to get gregnant
It was pretty funny, Quora actually used to be pretty interesting, and it was a pretty decent place to get some in-depth answers from knowledgeable people. Then, the people running the platform decided they wanted to use the content to train LLMs and they started paying people to produce slop and made the platform virtually unusable. They went from pretty good quality to worse than yahoo! Answers in like three months.
Not enough pixels here, where’s the instrument?
I remember hearing how Truman had a “the buck stops here” sign on his desk. One is very hard pressed to find that kind of accountability and ownership anywhere in today’s world, especially among executive leadership, be it corporate or political.
“We conjured 10,000 gibbering mouthers into boxes and just pipe their outputs over runes and components all day; we figure that eventually, we’ll come up with some pretty incredible spells, though most so far have been pretty weak, buggy, and weirdly horny.”
Man, forget CGI, UV unwrapping is what happens when you step outside in California and the sun unravels that ass.
Just wanted to say that I took your advice, and posted an update to this thread. It turns out that moving to LibreOffice would have virtually no benefit in any regard whatever according to the city IT manager. Thanks for the advice!
Follow up: I called the IT dept and spoke with them. Apparently they already get the “low cost” licenses with Microsoft for users who don’t need access to office (which is the overwhelming majority of them) and just basically get them an email address. The cost increase is really down to the city having added more staff, which means more licenses, since they’ve got a fixed rate contract locked in with MS. It sounds like moving non-power-users into LibreOffice would have negligible benefit and cause more disruption than not. Ah, well, swing and a miss. Thanks for the support, everyone!
Oh, yikes, that’s problematic. I was afraid of that. It really doesn’t feel good to look at that and say “and therefore, sorry firefighters, we need to pay Microsoft half a million a year to let us have Excel”, but I guess I get it.
Nah, the cops are losing some positions too. Our council is pretty good compared to some others, (and, honestly, our PD is pretty good too. They’ve worked really hard to keep a good working relationship with the community) but they’re definitely hitting a bunch of stuff that nobody wants to see cut either. It’s pain across the board. I guess if we have to make cuts, that’s how to make them, but I’d like it if Microsoft took one for the team too, here.
Again, I specifically want to leave the power users alone, but my experience in business/industry is that 90% of folks with Excel on their machine don’t even know how to write a function. There’s no sense paying lavish amounts of cash for those particular people to have Excel when LibreOffice will likely suit their needs.
Those are great points, it’s almost always better to walk in the light. I think I got too attached to the validity of my idea. I’ll reach out to them and see if someone can have that discussion.
Is LibreOffice calc much worse? And, again, I feel that most users of office suite software are fairly basic users. I want to specifically leave MS Office power users alone, let them keep their licenses, but if people are just using the basic features, there’s no reason for us to be paying outrageous amounts for MS Office licenses for them. Yeah, I’m aware that this is going to increase the load on the IT dept, but I’m hoping that the targeted user base are basic enough users that they can be onboard with an orientation video for most cases.
Explain, please
