Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Railison@aussie.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago

In my line of work we’re constantly changing shared documents, often at the same time. The desktop vanilla version can’t do this yet, so while I can use it happily for personal stuff I haven’t been able to get it to fit in with my job’s workflow yet.

I very much want to get off Office!

I love the idea of LibreOffice but it really needs to get collaborative features sorted via cloud storage providers or even network shares.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for them to improve the boot recovery process instead?

If the system fails to boot after a driver update, roll back the update and inform the user on startup.

Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I thought the rainbow was supposed to mean it encompassed everyone.

The colours on the flag apparently weren’t sufficiently inclusive so perhaps this should be the next flag:

France to ban smoking outdoors in most places to protect children in c/world@lemmy.world
[–] Railison@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

The prolific smoking in France really hits home for me when I was subjected to a cloud of smoke on a train platform. I can’t remember the last time my personal space was so violated waiting for a train.

I mean, if the reactors are already built and have plenty of life left in them…

PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? (aussie.zone)
 

So the final thing tethering me to macOS is Apple Photos, which is really a fantastic program.

PhotoPrism looks like it’s improving quickly, but I was curious to know how it’s going today with regards to:

  • Search filters
    • Date
    • Place
    • Object/person recognition
    • Text recognition
  • Live Photo support
  • Ease of importing
  • Album support, including smart albums
  • Built-in touch ups
  • General stability

SOLVED: Help me find the name of a movie (aussie.zone)

SOLVED: it’s Antitrust! Thanks everyone!

It’s a tech related movie came out probably early 2000s.

Bits I remember:

  • A group of home brew coders watches a webinar of some large software company.
  • One of them gets hired by the company to work on a large project
  • The project is supposed to enable content delivery/streaming while overcoming bandwidth constraints, but they’re stuck in development
  • Main character is working on the project and is making headway but discovers something nefarious might be going on in the company
  • He checks around the place and realises a large mouse sculpture in the company campus playground is actually a hidden satellite
  • Using a computer in the children’s daycare room he uncovers the conspiracy
  • He manages to finish off the project, and the company thinks everything is fine
  • The tech company tests the system and it works perfectly broadcasting everywhere.
  • But the guy uses this test to present a montage of all the evidence of the conspiracy. Also uploads the project source code
  • Company CEO gets arrested or something, everyone lives happily ever after.
