So I started using LibreOffice. Did an OS update on my macbook today. Come to find out today, that LibreOffice was not saving properly on my mac, nor was it backing up uncorrupted to my proton drive.
I've lost EVERYTHING from my hardest and most significant day's work, impossible to reconstruct (TCP/IP ancient history who said what when and multiple sources) and I'm fucking despairing.
LibreOffice online help 404s. Anyone out here can help get back corrupt ODT files?

"Shigeichi Negishi [...] was singing to himself at work one day in 1967 when an employee jokingly told him he was out of tune. Figuring that singing along to music would help him stay on pitch, Negishi began thinking about how to make that possible. He had the idea to turn one of the 8-track tape decks his company manufactured into what is now known as the karaoke machine."

Margaret Sullivan identified new issues that need be added to journalism ethics codes. E.g. “How news organizations should deal with artificial intelligence. How to cover politicians who lie and mislead the public as an essential part of their personas—and who get away with it (…). How social media acts as a double-edged sword for reporters and editors. How to run a successful and ethical nonprofit newsroom without giving way to philanthropic pressure.”
Sadly, the voice search is limiting due to make I have difficulties with speaking so I sometime use a simpler word if I can't spell or pronounce the word where voice search would recognize it.
Things I would do to try not picked on when people could easily stop being pedantic about. Sadly, a lot of people are like that. 😒
Wir können uns also den #Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten, sagt der #NichtMeinKanzler.
Ich denke wir können es uns nicht mehr leisten Steuerschlupflöcher nicht zu schließen und "Reiche" nicht an ihren Vermögen bemessen am Sozialstaat zu beteiligen, auch z.B. Beamte vom Sozialstaat ihre Pensionen beziehen ohne eingezahlt zu haben und vieles mehr.
Wenn diese 'Probleme' angefasst werden können wir uns auch den Sozialstaat leisten.

Va bene le tradizioni, ma anche il rinnovamento non guasta. Si dovrebbe parlare di proteggere tutte le attiviste e attivisti politici umanitari di qualsiasi nazione e non solo la fetta italiana già ora, non è poi cosi difficile. Giusto per evitare nel caso peggiore la gogna mediatica al ritorno in patria del "ve la siete cercata e abbiamo privatizzato la sanità per liberarvi". L'importante è solo alimentare il senso di colpa verso il dissenso in qualche modo

Holy shirt balls! Great news, buddy.
I've done a few interviews recently - some of which have been successful.
My tips (for what they're worth):
1 - Take a notebook both to make notes in and with some prepared questions in it. Make sure you say "do you mind if I refer to this" to be polite (IME, no-one ever minds).
2 - Take a couple of printed versions of your CV to leave behind.
And GOOD LUCK!
Thank you! How funny - I looked up yesterday whether it would be appropriate to take/make notes, as that was my intention. Haven't interviewed for a job in something like 20 years, so should be interesting. People still high-5, right?
@BonehouseWasps
My 'favourite' interview one way back before I started freelancing, I'd been fed a line from my recruitment dude to ask at the end, you know when they get to the 'any other questions' bit?
So yer man got to that bit and I said my line: "At this stage, do you have any reservations about my application that we could talk about now?"
He'd obvs heard it before, and sat back and gave a wry grin, and said "Just one. If i ask you to start on Monday, are you going to turn up in those bloody white socks?!"
I got the job 🤣
We finally got separate bins for compostable waste, first collection isn’t for a few weeks, but they gave us the schedule. It was every two weeks, the opposite week from our normal bins.
So I configured automations and notifications in #HomeAssistant to remind us which bins need to go out, along with a way to tell the house that we put the bins out to stop the reminders. I spent quite a bit of time tweaking it, messing with conditions and input booleans, figuring out the logic for which bin is due to go out without relying on a calendar event…
Today we got a letter saying they’re gonna collect the compostable bins the same day as the other bins. 🙃

@abulling ooh it supports San Diego.
I have built my own logic for this over the years. Our schedules are pretty consistent except when there is a holiday, so I built in that logic using a Holiday calendar plug in. I'll have to check this out.
What are you using to make sure the bins are out? I was going to try a BLE tag. My front yard camera can't see them, otherwise Frigate could detect them.
@motoridersd I’m using NFC tags on the bins for now.
Helper “Bin Reminders” turns on at 6pm the night before they have to go out, various things happen based on that. Scanning the NFC tag turns that off and turns on “Bins Out” which does other stuff (mainly puts a little icon on a dashboard), and then when I bring them back in I scan the NFC tag again which turns off “Bins Out”.
I can also toggle the helper via the UI or via Alexa, of course.
oh that's annoying. I was wondering about that.
I really liked this project and now that I've been deploying BLE Proxies, maybe it's time to tackle it

This project has taken me back to the landscape of my childhood and youth in the marshlands of Southern Denmark. A place where as many as one million starlings gather in the spring and fall, prior to onwards migration, and set the stage for one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena. As the countless birds congregate in large murmurations before collectively settling in the reeds at dusk they put on an incredible show of collaboration and performance skills. And now and then, by the added drama of attacking birds of prey, the flock will unfold a breathtaking and veritable ballet of life or death. The starlings move as one unified organism that vigorously opposes any outside threat. A strong visual expression is created – like that of an ink drawing or a calligraphic brush stroke – asserting itself against the sky. Shapes and black lines of condensation form within the swarm, resembling waves of interference or mathematical abstractions written across the horizon. At times the flock seems to possess the cohesive power of super fluids, changing shape in an endless flux: From geometric to organic, from solid to fluid, from matter to ethereal, from reality to dream – an exchange in which real time ceases to exist and mythical time pervades. This is the moment I have attempted to capture – a fragment of eternity.
