Without the buyout, the company would have failed even earlier. Doesn’t help the employees either.

My employer. Who owns the laptop. And forbids me to fuck around with it…

I haven’t heard of either, let me check if I can run those with my user profile and not break anything I need to log on to our corporate network in the process.

Not that I’m aware of, but I’ll double check.

I tried and it doesn’t update, even after a clean reboot with no browser open whatsoever. However I did find another entry in the Firewall that comes up right on boot, which is a service called MS.Edge.Webview2, which seems to be triggered through the Teams App. I’ve now completely uninstalled Teams, and after a fresh boot the ad (or “media control”) seems to be gone now. Guess I’ll be using Teams from my phone or via browser in the future.

Contacting the hospital is way more effective than asking random strangers online for a best guess based on vague details. Just sayin’

Sure, though quite a few of those things are not explicitly written down, and court transcripts are only published in high profile cases, so you won’t find any official reference to the group size. So it’s mostly from second hand experience and hearsay. You pick up one or the other thing if you live in China for nearly a decade.

But here’s some official reading - I hope the sites are accessible from outside China, that’s something I can’t validate right now.

You should be good to go with google translate; though specifically for Chinese legalese, I suggest yandex translate (assuming you don’t speak Chinese):

It’s sufficient to mention it in a wechat group with >10 people, which already qualified as instigating “the masses”.

Oh nice, thanks! Will give it a shot.

I have disabled and uninstalled it, but office 365 still enforces it as the default save as location, so now when I use the dialogue, the system hangs for 30 seconds. Even disabled it in the policy management, but no dice.

So that puts the average house price at 348k? That’s actually better than I thought.

Discord is great for casual chatting. Was it ever intended to be a forum though? For that use case, it’s completely impractical.

They might give you the possibility to opt out thanks to living in the EU, the OP might not be as lucky.

That would work for ads before the content, but not if they are spliced into the running video.

They are indeed the registrar. Would have expected more.

I 100% agree, and just wanted to say I love the word Tankjes. Dutch, by any chance?

I wouldn’t say FOSS is inherently leftist, but it’s certainly not a capitalist approach.

And Lemmy has been developed by two outspoken Marxists, so the earliest adopters before the larger waves of reddit exilees had a similar mindset.

Add to the fact that most of the oldest and therefore largest communities are hosted on lemmy.ml, which is run by the original devs, and features moderators who by and large also share a similar mindset (and suppress critical comments quite a bit), and you’ve got a lefty echo chamber going, that’s spilling into the newer communities on neutral instances, giving the whole platform a left touch.

Three including this one, but the other two were just created on other instances before I settled for one I actually liked. So they are more like dormant accounts I log into every other month or so, I don’t actively use them.

“Master Shitposter”.

I feel like the top contributor tag on facebook is almost universally an indicator of a deranged mind.

That’s correct, but most of those calculations were based on theoretical figures used by artificial aging methods and computed failure rates. Now we have real world data from panels that actually aged that long.
