What I mean is that these kinds of people usually look at the financial cost per year for a given solution that’s already in place and always look for something cheaper (usually only on paper).

Usually they look at the cost of a licence without giving a single thought about, let’s say, the processing power that’ll be needed for the new thing, the expertise to set it up and run it, and all the migration work that will be needed to make the switch.

Also, when these things happen, most of the time you have to fire/hire/train people to adapt, which means you lose some of your internal knowledge and experience. That’s something that can’t be really quantified and can really hurt an IT system.

In the end, with all the cumulative costs, it’s often far more expensive to switch solutions, and not financially speaking, but that doesn’t necessarily appear on the bottom line they will see from their desks.

The worst thing in that is the amount of money and human time it must take just to migrate everything. People only looking at the bottom line is the bane of IT…

Germany and ping ponging between proprietary and free software every 2 years, name a better duo

When you ask why, some people answer why not

It was more of a calculated move, he boasted about “throwing a grenade between their legs” (read, I fucked them over with my unexpected move, and thought it was funny). His hubris and contempt seem to know no bounds.

How do you do that, is there an app?

Well it’s a good step in the right direction, not a massive difference but still

That’s exactly what’s happening. In counties where there are three or more candidates for the second turn, the progressives asked their third place candidate to withdraw, not to split the vote. They’re waiting for the same favour from Macron’s candidate, which will most likely not come.

That first response was awful, like fuck you man, maybe I should read the doc but maybe your software should be better designed if it handles my data like that. Jesus Christ…

You can read about SELinux here or ACLs here. SELinux can be pretty complex if you’ve never used it, so make sure you understand it well. I believe it should be able to do what you want to achieve.

I guess you can use ACLs depending on your filesystem, or SELinux user contexts.

I’m allergic to sushi, every time I eat more than 80, I barf

The last 20 years have been rough on our left. Loads of infighting and a massive shift to the right from our media, have done a lot of damage.

Earth warms up and cools down naturally that’s a known fact. But over thousands of years, not 200. What we’re witnessing right now is not natural and we have the data to support it.

To follow, a strongly worded letter.

I love the idea of the United Nations, but the reason why it’s allowed to exist is that it’s pretty much powerless to do anything that actually matters.
Nobody, especially the counties in the security council, would be part of it if it had any kind of power.

That’s very much a “you criticize a system yet you live in it” kind of argument. It’s pretty much impossible to avoid single use plastic even if you try really hard. You can reduce their usage but it’s up to manufacturers to step up (or be forced by law) and find alternatives.

If you remove 99% of single use plastic, you can still have your single use surgical and medical plastic. It’s a matter of using them where they are actually needed instead of using them because it’s cheaper to throw shit away.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

Isn’t that standard practice nowadays? You push an outrageous thing to test the reactions, then you pull back and then you push something similar but toned down to be more acceptable. A while later you incrementally move towards your initial plan.

You just pay random people on the internet to do it, it’s fairly easy if you know where/what to ask for.
