What usually also works on Linux is selecting text with the mouse and pasting it by pressing the middle mouse button (or scroll wheel). You’d still need the mouse, but it’s at least a little quicker ☺️

Has anyone tried this yet on Debian 12? Would be nice to upgrade from the ESR version.

I just installed StreetComplete because of your post and it’s a lot of fun! I guess I’ll be doing this on my walks from now on :-)

Thanks! I heard about it from a social worker, so maybe you could try something like that.

It’s a local program (I live in the Netherlands) for people with autism or similar issues. They teach you html and java and some other stuff I don’t remember. Eventually they help you to work on projects they do for other businesses and even find a job with a “regular” company, but only if you’re ready for that and able to do it. It’s government funded and aside from the IT professionals, they also have healthcare professionals who help you with any issues you encounter in the work environment. After having been unemployed for years due to mental health issues, it’s a very exciting opportunity for me. I’ve already visited the company and the people and work environment there seem really suitable.

• I started using Lemmy
• Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it’s actually fun.
• Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
• Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
• I’ve applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven’t started yet, but I will soon. I’m so excited for that.

Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it’s a real shame.

NL as well. Maybe it’s because it’s a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don’t know, but I’m done with it.

Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too

Yeah, I’m gonna disagree with that. They’ve recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.

The words can be copyrighted alright, that’s not the problem here. Even without publishing them, the creator already has copyright over his 624 words. There’s probably nobody who would be interested in publishing them because, let’s face it, they aren’t that interesting on their own, unlike a novel or a poem. All the stuff that makes this a piece of art is added by the AI, whereas a printing press adds very little to nothing to a book.

What do you need that for?

I think you meant !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world, right?

It just goes to show how an accusation like this sticks to a company’s reputation. The reason for your company switching could be totally unrelated, yet your mind still jumps to this. Have you asked why they’re switching?

Yeah, I’ve not been able to find any allegations by anyone else, except for his vague mentions. There was also a Jewish person who had worked at SUSE who commented in one thread that they felt nothing less than welcomed.

SUSE because of Yast and the (german) company’s rumored?stance on antisemitism

I was really surprised to read about the antisemitism allegation. That’s a very serious accusation. I’ve looked into it and it seems that these claims are controversial. First thing to mention is that the accuser said himself that this was about the company SUSE, and not the distribution openSUSE.

The article claims there are emails and other employees’ statements as proof, but provides none. The article is also over a year old, so why hasn’t this led to any public statements from SUSE or any legal or other actions? Antisemitism is a serious offense in Germany.

Discussions on reddit and hacker news all state that the writer has gone off the rails. When being called out on reddit for deadnaming a trans woman, he plays dumb. I don’t think he’s dumb. It seems to me like he’s transphobic and acting like a troll about it in good old American conservative fashion.

For me, this seriously calls into question any claims he makes about social justice stuff, even if it concerns himself. He apparently views other people’s social justice as something to play with, so my gut feeling is that it would be no concern to him to lie or bend the truth about stuff like this in order to achieve something. It’s all a game to him in the political arena, not serious life issues.

If I’m wrong, all he has to do is provide the proof he claims there is, even if only anonymized.

Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with “-”. It’s stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it’s definitely possible to do. I don’t understand why they just won’t.
