People are people, some good, some bad. Love learning about the cultural differences and mythos though!

I do get annoyed when anyone lumps the cuisine just ‘Mexican food’! They’re all SO DIFFERENT!

For a decade, Brexit’s defenders have insisted the warnings were exaggerated and the pain temporary. The latest evidence shows the opposite. Brexit hasn’t been a one-off hit followed by recovery – it has quietly, relentlessly drained the UK economy year after year.

The headline numbers are brutal. UK GDP is now 6–8 per cent smaller than it would have been by 2025 – worse than forecast, not better. That is a permanent loss of national income, not a blip.

Investment has collapsed. UK business investment is 18 per cent lower than in comparable economies, as firms put money on hold or moved it elsewhere. Employment and productivity are both around 4 per cent lower, locking in weaker wage growth and lower living standards.

I know how they can save some money!

Your history memes and explainations are some of my favorite posts on the fediverse! I love the little micro history lesson that accompanies each meme. It’s like a history meme kinder egg, and they always brighten my day.

Thank you!

Thank you for letting me know and explaining!

What? No explanation?! How scandalous!

Ukrainian troops say a ‘droid’ with a .50-cal machine gun held off Russian attacks for 45 days in a row

In case anyone else wants to read about it.

Edit: Fixed the link! Thanks for the heads up!

This is great! Love it! Thanks for sharing.

I would love this approach! Let existing users stay on a grandfathered plan that keeps the same price and features unless they want to upgrade!

But same for video. I would never buy 3 streaking service at a time.

This is an awesome sounding typo.

The gingerbread man uses a modified bacta tank to keep himself moist and scrumptious. As a side effect, he’s also super absorbent.

Some people don’t like raisins on their cookies, so by sprinkling raisins on himself, the gingerbread man made himself inedible / safe.

I am so sad and angry on your son’s behalf. Kudos to him for all his hard work!

Basically any of the power features (power pivot, power query).

On Fedora KDE.

Office, specifically Excel. I use it professionally for work and the lack of feature parity in Linux alternatives (Libre Office and Only Office, specifically) are a perpetual thorn in my side.

I do my best to use Linux alternatives in my personal life, and, if necessary, use the MS web version of Excel but every so often I run into something that can only be done in the full desktop version and I have to boot back into Windows.

I’ve heard of WinBoat and https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps, but at least when I tried them they were too resource heavy to realistically run on a laptop
