Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice
  • 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!

  • France to ban smoking outdoors in most places to protect children
  • 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.

  • PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently?

    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

    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.

    www.theage.com.au The Suburban Rail Loop is a money sink. Time to bite the bullet and cancel it

    For the same price as just the first stage of the loop, Victoria could have had a dedicated airport rail line and fast train services to Geelong.

    The Suburban Rail Loop is a money sink. Time to bite the bullet and cancel it

    Keen to hear people’s thoughts. Personally I think the SRL will change how Melbourne works in ways current modelling won’t consider. That comes at a high cost, but is it too high?

    What do you think about $380m for noping out of the Commonwealth Games
    www.abc.net.au Victoria to pay $380m compensation for cancelling 2026 Commonwealth Games

    The State of Victoria has agreed to pay the Commonwealth Games parties $380 million in compensation after pulling out of the 2026 regional event.

    Victoria to pay $380m compensation for cancelling 2026 Commonwealth Games

    Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.

    Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?

    Most Australian landlords lose money on their investments, earn modest incomes and don’t have fancy jobs.
