Hell yeah!

Weirdly enough I’ve found it much easier to print on linux. It just works out of the box.

If it doesn’t it is definetly the printers manufacturer fault 😅

Definetely quoting me! 😅

@TheImpressiveX

Maybe you should update the title, since it is factually incorrect.

Yeah that was exactly the conclusion I reached since asking 😅

I get a lot of beef for Brave. Any viable alternatives that aren’t derivatives of Chromium or FF but are maintained?

I also love how this is probaly the only time someone’s ever quoted me. This is my legacy.

I stand by my earlier statement.

No matter what the post is I suggest they should just use Linux instead.

It’s better than anything else in the universe.

Yes, I’m all in on that!

Ever since joining Lemmy I’ve noticed this awesome trend towards a modernized retro internet. Self/web hosted blogs, sites and apps. Not all that commercial giant bullshit but an oldschool mesh of servers. Activitypub and stuff will be awesome in creating a new subset that is more in line with the original designs for the internet.

Anyone know the artist?

Just to back you up:

“The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.”

Nothing.

What was the effect of the reddit migration on reddit; nothing.

Honestly I thoughr about doing it after suggesting that it might have been a VM. Maybe it was someone like me.

Isn’t this just a screengrab from a win98 VM?

Dude I love you!

That wallpaper is cray!

Here is the translation of the Danish text into English:

“Chaos and Confusion” during Exams after Word Update Ministry warns that Microsoft programs may cause problems for students with Mac computers during written exams.

For several written exams, students with Mac computers have experienced issues with Microsoft Word if they had the latest version of the program installed.

BY Thomas Prakash TODAY AT 10:42

High school student Silje Højer Lauritsen was about an hour into her exam on Thursday when her computer started having problems. Suddenly, her Word program began running slowly. The word processing program “froze,” and she could not save her answers for the assignment in the marketing subject, where she was explaining companies’ value chains.

• It was really frustrating, especially because you are already so stressed and have so many thoughts during an exam, she says. Many of the other students in the exam room at the HHX high school in Risskov, Aarhus Business College, experienced similar problems. Silje Højer Lauritsen estimates nearly half of them did.

Problems at several high schools IT staff and teachers ran in and out of the room to help the students, and they ended up giving them an extra hour to complete the exam. However, not everyone succeeded.

It was almost as if it wasn’t an exam anymore because there was so much chaos and confusion. SILJE HØJER LAURITSEN, STUDENT, HHX HIGH SCHOOL IN RISSKOV

• I have a friend who had her assignment deleted because of it, and now she has to take a makeup exam in August, says Silje Højer Lauritsen.

At several other high schools in the country, the same problems have been experienced in recent days.

• It caused a lot of unrest in the exam situation for the affected students, says Flemming Madsen, IT manager at Aalborg Business College. The problem is due to a recent update to Microsoft Word, which can cause the program to run slowly and crash for students with Mac computers.

‘Use other programs, or take frequent backups’ The Ministry of Education is aware of the problem and warns educational institutions that there may be issues with the latest version of Word and Excel for Mac users.

• Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may find that the programs run slowly, freeze, and crash. This means that examinees are delayed in their work, and parts of their answers risk being lost, writes the Danish Agency for Education and Quality and the Danish Agency for IT and Learning in a message to schools.
• We encourage institutions to inform students about this problem so they can take precautions, such as taking frequent backups or using other similar programs, the recommendation says. One solution could be to uninstall the new version and reinstall an earlier version of the program - downgrading Word from version 16.85 to version 16.84.

Help to solve the problem The Danish Agency for IT and Learning provides guidance on its website on how Mac users can solve the problem and downgrade to an older version of Microsoft Word.

Distracted from the task The ministry states that it is not responsible for the use of so-called third-party programs used by institutions and students and therefore does not have an overview of how many were affected by the problems. At the HHX high school in Risskov, Silje Højer Lauritsen felt that the IT problems made an already stressful situation even more stressful.

• It was almost as if it wasn’t an exam anymore because there was so much chaos and confusion, she says.
• I felt that it took a lot of focus away from my tasks.

Microsoft apologizes At Microsoft, one of the world’s largest IT companies, they regret that the latest update is causing problems.

• We are aware that there may be issues with the latest version of some of our products for Mac users, reads a written response from Microsoft in Denmark.
• We apologize for the inconvenience and take the problem very seriously. We are in close contact with our product team, who are working to solve the problem. In the meantime, we encourage all affected users to follow the recommendations to reinstall an earlier version and take frequent backups, says Microsoft.

You get me ❤️ 😅
