On my desktop, I need that num pad.
On the go, I loathe my laptop keyboard and mouse, and bring a 60% and a mouse. Easy to fit in the bag for travel if I'm setting up shop somewhere for a few days or more. Also a dock so I can hook it up to the hotel TV or conf room display easily if they are behind the times.
I want to live in your fantasy land.
Its not hard. Just have a production Linux desktop and a production windows laptop, and it becomes pretty clear what you can do. Basic memos and emails are no problem through the web, and thats a huge number of people.
Why do I want even more shit in the cloud? Some stuff I want on-prem and don’t need it in the cloud.
Why buy cloud shit and then not use cloud shit?
Just don't buy cloud shit and join to a local domain.
Plus, it’s now Entra ID.
Let me know when I need to type that at the CLI and I'll stop calling it aad.
It is.
Its a shockingly stupid decision. Not surprising considering the administration, but incredibly stupid.
USA created a problem
Which other countries can also create if contributions are altered.
Being aware of the how and why of national politics impacting international politics is a good thing. Suggesting otherwise is just putting blinders on.
.... Except what a country does or does not do directly impacts the WHOs functions and financial support, so.... Kind of important.
There are many contributors, some substantially more than others, and any of them leaving will have an impact on the efficacy of the WHO.
Hot damn! 3 euro/mo (1 yr prepaid) with up to 10 custom domains?!?
I do believe I'll be signing up later on tonight or tomorrow morning.
I'm an american, and fuck american tech companies right now.
With the previous frequency of comments/posts, and everything else going on, I hope flyingsquid is taking the time to relax.
which one society considers more normal.
Ahh, yes, society - normally accepting of all things that are typical but different. Like being gay, or left handed.
They're definitely not comfortable letting everyone know.
Right.
So you probably have other friends who aren't comfortable telling you everything. Maybe someone else, but not you, and there could be many reasons for that.
Why are you mocking me about it? I didn't create the blue hair dye analogy. It clearly has flaws, which is part of why I responded to critique the analogy. It's a bad comparison, I agree.
Their comparison was around percentages - you compared the percentages to people you see/know from discussion, making it a much worse comparison. One thing is visible, one thing is not. You've seen poly people, and had no idea. Not everyone goes out as a throuple, many have different partners they spend time with separately. That is not a visible presentation of poly, which was the point of the comparison I would say.
There are more than you expect, there is just no way to "see" it.
They could tell me? Lol. Do you have small talk with your acquaintances?
Do you tell everyone everything about your lives? Do you not know anyone who prefers privacy?
Compared to people I know who have dyed their hair blue, they do not seem as statistically frequent.
Wow, something you can physically see is obvious compared to something you have to be told about! I'm shocked. Shocked, I say. To the core.
There have been studies on poly relationships BTW.
The Kinsey Institute reported (going off memory here) that about 10% of Americans have been in poly relationships, and about 15-20% are interested, with about 5% actively in a poly relationship.
YouGov did a survey and found about 1/3rd were interested in some form of non-monogamy.
A study in Canada came up with similar numbers to the Kinsey Institute, and a different one found a much higher interest in non-monagamy than in the US.
There are definitely way more than you think, since you're basing it solely on people you know being interested in telling you about it.
but if i saw successful polyamoric couples walking
... How would you possibly know they are poly aside from blatantly seeing them make out in front of you?
Which wouldn't even be how many poly relationships work, BTW.
Its just a dock, so no.
It works with most laptops running Linux, but its still just a dock. That gigabit port is just a usb-c/thunderbolt device, it is not a full machine. Same with the video, its just DP alt mode, there is no GPU in there.
If you want a small form factor machine to use a server, look for a used tiny/mini/micro workstation.
