Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that yesterday morning, Microsoft increased Office pricesEnglish
7·1 day agoSadly I have to agree. Being able to take my excel work home with me, where I use Linux exclusively, is the sole reason that I’m forced to use OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice. It has better compatibility with Excel by a WIDE margin.
That being said, I don’t have the issue with OnlyOffice that others seem to have. It’s desktop app is still OpenSource, it’s just the online bits and collaboration stuff that isn’t. But I’d still rather go with a non-profit like the Document Foundation than a for profit company any day of the week.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you keep yourself sane and happy while 1) Right wing fascists are getting powerful 2) women rights are getting weaker 3) Inequalities are raising?English
8·1 day agoHobbies, such as photography. Which brings me to my question…
Anyone know what camera, lens and film-stock (or if digital, what settings) were used to capture that look in the screenshot posted? I love it. It’s a still from “The Mastermind” and I haven’t been able to find any technical specs on the production.

5·1 day agoIt makes me nauseaus to read about all of it, and I’m not even American.

9·1 day agoYeah. I hadn’t read the book since my early twenties and decided now (at 50) I wanted to take another read through because of all the crap going on, and it’s honestly terrifying how press releases and especially Karoline Leavitt sounds straight up newspeak and rewriting the narrative whenever possible.
It’s only a matter of time before they get a department going whose sole job is to go back into historical documents to re-write old news articles to show that they’ve always been right.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the greatest sentence ever written in human history?English
41·2 days ago“This too shall pass”
If something good happens, it’s a cautionary warning to stay humble.
If something bad happens, it’s a comforting reminder that things will get better.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite album of all time?English
1·3 days agoQueen Rock Montreal
It’s the one concert that I wish I had been born early enough to attend, but alas I was only five years old at the time. When the album came out in 2007 was when I became a Queen fan.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I imagine that being able to put an expensive drum kit out in a hailstorm just to see what happens is as good a reflection as any of your financial well-being.English
5·4 days agoNope, just a random thought that came into my head while I was showering.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think happens when you die?English
3·4 days agoWorms eat me. Worms poop me out. Worm poop provides nutrient to a few stray wandering plant and tree seeds. They grow. I’m a part of them.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•‘Cost Me the Election’: Data Centers Trigger Voter BacklashEnglish
44·4 days agoI despise the argument that they always use, saying “It’ll bring in tax revenue”
No it fucking won’t. The people who own these things DON’T PAY TAXES. Going out of their way to AVOID paying taxes is their entire deal!
If there is one bright side to all of this recent “affordability” crisis, is that I think more and more people are getting affected enough now that they’re FINALLY starting to focus their gaze on the billionaires and the politicians who are bought by them. (Maybe that’s optimism).
Don’t get me wrong, most of them still obediently ALSO blame immigrants, trans folk, homeless people, etc… whoever the billionaires and politicians TELL them to blame, but they’re finally beginning to look in the upper direction too.

That contemplative stare has me asking…
Annie are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

42·6 days agoIts a shame they didn’t succeed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s your favorite “bad” movie?English
2·6 days agoThat’s what introduced me to it. I immediately had to track it down and watch the entire thing.
I’ve discovered a number of my favourite B movies through those guys.
I also think that Bigfoot vs DB Cooper could be an amazing film if done properly, but its a shame the title has been ruined.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s your favorite “bad” movie?English
11·8 days agoRaw Force (1982)
Martial arts students visit an island with ghosts of dishonored fighters. They encounter a Hitler lookalike running a female slavery operation, leading to encounters with cannibals, piranhas, zombies, and chaos.
Absolutely stupid low budget insanity.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have any baseless predictions for the future that you nonetheless expect to occur?English
121·8 days agoHave you seen Elysium?
Yeah…pretty much that. In some form or another. It won’t necessarily be the wealthy people blasting off to a space station, more likely just hiding away on luxury islands while the rest of the world continues to go to shit.

Choice?…A succulent collection of choice?








It’s shockingly similar in a lot of ways. Just barely different enough to not get sued, I’d imagine.
