Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.
Firefox doesn't support WebUSB, Web Bluetooth and several other integrations, so applications that need to connect to other devices need some kind of Chrome application. Massive dick move by forcing account creation tho.

When I lived in Warsaw tap water tasted like public swimming pool water after boiling old shoe for an hour.

I was using Microsoft Word on and off since 6.0 (shipped with Office 4.0), and no version of Microsoft Word was formatting your documents in the same way that the other versions did, and the same version liked to break things on different version of Windows, and sometimes ever on the same version of Windows on the other computer, because locale settings were different.
That being said, Word is a toy that can be replaced with just basically any word processing software (unless you need multiplayer editing from the Sharepoint), it's the Excel which is the true strength of MS Office, and unfortunately it's irreplaceable by anything that isn't purpose-built database processing software.
Excel doesn't do anything very well, but it can do everything that the twisted minds of the upper management can imagine, and in the hands of person experienced enough and mad enough (and you will become mad enough after couple years of VBA) the possibilities are endless.
LibreOffice Calc on the other hand is limited to 1024 columns, which is a hard limit I hit more than once, and external database integrations are real PITA.

When I was 20 years older I used to inhale vapor of devil's lettuce often, and after some serious cases of munchies I was able to produce some horrendous crap, and even then, with infamous Dutch toilet bowls, three flushes was the worst one.

Nobody takes a train from Germany to France
Reply in thread
I love traveling by train, but in Poland it's so fucked I have to either drive or waste days just to get somewhere. They just deleted train I could use to get to Warsaw in about 5h, now it's extra transfer, almost 7 hours, and I have to do it a day earlier, so extra night in a hotel vs 4,5h drive. The same with Berlin, I'd love to just ride a train, it's less than 4 hours drive vs 6,5 hour train ride (which is fine, I can go with that), price of the single ticket is more than gas for my car, so twice as much for two person – I could live with that, but the transfer time is under 30 minutes, which with notoriously unreliable trains means I would probably miss the connection and lost all my bookings (or just tried to go back with train/bus just to my village (already losing ~80€ for the tickets), and then grab a car.

How much of this stuff is bad for you?

According to the linked research, for an 80kg person, problematic amount of Marmite from the MSG contents standpoint would firmly sit around 1,4kg daily consumption, in which case you will be also ingesting definitely lethal 140g of salt, and even worse, more than 11 standard size jars of Marmite.

“Murder was in fact a fairly uncommon event in Ankh-Morpork, but there were a lot of suicides. Walking in the night-time alleyways of The Shades was suicide. Asking for a short in a dwarf bar was suicide. Saying 'Got rocks in your head?' to a troll was suicide. You could commit suicide very easily, if you weren't careful.”

And Facebook and Xitter are nothing in comparison with TT. At least in Poland they are pushing „fun and trendy” far right, „common sense” far right and russian talking points into every feed. As far as I understand this is also true for most of the Europe.

Reminder that an alternative for Starlink is needed, exchange between Musk and the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs
Reply in thread
As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat „portable” OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.

Nowe Gry Commodore 64
Reply in thread
Co do monitora, to zależy jak bardzo współczesny – muszę poszukać po pakamerze, bo chyba miałem taki w formacie 4:3 który miał wejście s-video, ale mogłem go komuś oddać. Znalazłem na alledrogo samo zmontowane pi1541 za jakieś 85pln od c64power, jakieś pi zero nieużywane jeszcze znajdę w szufladzie, więc teoretycznie mógłbym zacząć zabawę – poza tym, że odkryłem że posiałem gdzieś kabel 1541 – orientujesz się czy ktoś jeszcze ma zapasy tych nieszczęsnych nietypowych DIN-6? Tak pamiętam że jak próbowałem je ostatnio kupować w okolicy 1997 to były z tym straszne problemy, a teraz jak patrzę po Internetach to nie widzę ani kabli ani wtyczek.

Męczy Cię wieczne stanie w korkach, hałas i zanieczyszczenie powietrza? Rozwiązanie we Wrocławiu!
Reply in thread
Jak ostatnio musiałem dojeżdżać do tyry we Wrocławiu (odcinek 5,5km), to czasowo wychodziło motocyklem 8-12 minut (bez przekraczania dozwolonej prędkości), rowerem 15-20, samochodem 15-25, zbiorkomem 40-60 (górne widełki jeśli akurat tramwaj wypadł albo przyjechał za wcześnie i musiałem jechać następnym, nie wliczam katastrof komunikacyjnych), pieszo 50-60. Czyli jeśli chodzi o stratę czasu, zakładając najgorszy scenariusz dla samochodu i najlepszy dla tramwaju tracę na dojazdach pół godziny dziennie, czyli 125h rocznie.
Jeśli chodzi o same koszty, to zakładając że zaczynam od 5-letniego samochodu kupionego za 30 tysięcy, przy OC za 1 tysiąc, 1 tysiąc na przeglądy, opony, olej, itp, i 1000 złotych na paliwo przy 1,5 tysiąca przejechanych kilometrów w cyklu miejskim (luźne zaokrąglenia, ale ciągle dość realistyczne), zakładając że będę jeździł tym samochodem 10 lat po czym sprzedam go za 10 tysięcy, koszt podróży samochodem wychodzi na poziomie 5 tysięcy rocznie vs 1 tysiąc za bilet roczny MPK dla samych dojazdów do pracy.
Podsumowując, jedna zaoszczędzona godzina kosztuje mnie 15 złotych – wydaje się, że sporo, ale w gratisie dostaję samochód którym mogę pojechać wszędzie nie przejmując się kosztami wypożyczalni czy przesiadkami w PKP za dodatkowy koszt na poziomie 30 groszy za kilometr + zrobić duże zakupy bez dodatkowej straty czasu na dojście do marketu i wleczenie wypełnionych zakupami siat.
Żeby zbiorkom mógł z tym konkurować, absolutne minimum to kilka dodatkowych linii tramwajowych, poprawa siatki połączeń i dodatkowe kursy żeby w szczycie tramwaje jeździły co 5 minut a nie co 15, oraz aktywne zniechęcanie do jazdy samochodem (uspokojenie ruchu żeby jazda samochodem zrobiła się bardziej upierdliwa, wyższe opłaty za parkowanie). To się częściowo dzieje, ale tylko w części generowania bodźców negatywnych – poprawa siatki połączeń jest w najlepszym wypadku symboliczna.

Nah, I'm good :) I don't need to touch anything like that those days, days of anything resembling big data are gone for me. But I know of people who need – and who work in dark basements of „Big 4” with terabytes worth of Excel sheets passed down through the generations of data scientists. No one will ever touch those workbooks, as they make the world go round, and last person that understood how it works retired 15 years ago. These setups will survive humanity, and will be estimating resource and energy prices on the international markets long after we're gone and only entities dealing in resources will be rats and roaches.

Good European alternative to Tabasco?
Sadly, there is probably none that can be reliably sources, there is no barrel-aged vinegar based mild hot sauce similar to Tabasco, as everyone was trying to develop their unique extra-hot blend.
There are plenty of good hot sauces imported from Asia (Thai Sriracha, Indonesian Sambal Oelek [for me the best is windmill brand]), many interesting (and hot AF) European bigger brands (I like Polish Roleski, they have nice hot sauce range) and local small-batch craft brands, but sadly no direct Tabasco replacement, as there's no direct bourbon replacement – there are tens of thousands of interesting flavors across the world, so I can live with that for a while.
