NZ is usually used as a Guinea pig by tech companies, small population, English speaking, etc.

However I think it might be that the Alll Blacks might face off the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup Final and Elon wants to minimise the shitposting on Twitter. /s

Linux user since 2008 here.

Boring Debian for servers and Pop Os for my desktop because everything works out of the box

yes, and according to the article, OpenOffice was already abandoned for 4 years ago by then

My sister’s job just switched to LibreOffice in 2018, OO is still alive and kicking in a lot of small companies

I’m stealing claer

I use glow all the time, I love it!

I’ve been playing with wish too, I see a lot of potential for it

I am a light user so I just stayed on version 3.0.2

It works for my use case as it is and the day it doesn’t, I’ll look for whatever fork is most popular

A friend works for a large-ish company that makes a product on Unity (not a game tho) and he just told me they were moving to Godot ASAP

There’s a museum of the incident with a reconstruction of the plane crash in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit. https://www.inbologna.it/the-museum-for-memory-of-ustica-in-bologna.html

My current employer had a relatively small layoffs round (about 3% of the workforce). More people resigned afterwards than during the layoffs.

My manager got a promotion with a hefty salary increase, then the company announced a hiring and salary freeze, then gave me a promotion with more responsibilities (some of my manager’s as well) but with the same salary.

I quited a few months later as soon as I could secure something else

IHateMoney.org is a nice self hosted FOSS option, joining groups and organising users is dead easy, but the iOS app sucks.

I personally prefer SettleUp despite it being closed source, I find its functionality a lot better than Splitwise

I recently used IRC to download some obscure early 2000s anime from a major fansub group from back in the day. Turns out they are still hosting an IRC server with a bot serving their entire fansub archive.

Writing XDCC commands brought back some memories
