Do you guys have a Windows virtual machine that you can tunnel into?

Ah the old Google “open but not open” strategy.

You know we should start migrating (or porting) our complicated spreadsheets from VB to python. This is a wise move for future proofing.

But I’m also very busy, and a little lazy, so I procrastinate and never do it. Some VMs now are so good that I just open these big visual basic spreadsheets in a windows VM, further delaying the necessary task.

And I don’t even think about it. Only Office is, unlike Libre Office, not opinionated with respect to the UI and is therefore so similar to MS Office that I can switch between both apps and not miss a beat.

Although Only Office has the advantage of implementing a bunch of QOL improvements that MS Office still has not implemented after all these years. One example that comes to mind is that the default image resize maintains aspect ratio, while in MSOffice you still need to hold SHIFT while resizing.

It really did read like an AI output. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was punched up by AI.

Underrated? It’s the single most recommended distro for beginners.

I didn’t know about this. Looks good.

They were probably familiar with the name “Google”, makes it seem official and supported.

Unfortunately, OS Flex is the worst of both worlds; bad Linux distro and no Android runtime and libraries.

This is why I argued at the time that the problem was not the lack of an 18+ rating, but the philosophy of the law was wrong. The lack of an 18+ rating meant that some games could not be rated, and if a game does not have a rating from the government then you cannot sell it. This is effectively a situation where all games are by default banned unless explicitly allowed by the government.

Lobbying for an 18+ rating doesn’t solve this problem. And this is exactly what happened; an 18+ rating was created, but with some things that are excluded from that rating. If a game includes those things, then it can’t get an 18+ rating and therefore banned.

The default position should be the other way around: everything is allowed by adults only unless explicitly allowed for minors.

I am not convinced that you can fix unenlightened, paternalistic government behaviour with technocratic bureaucracy reforms.

I suspect it’s the recommendation from someone who hasn’t used the product.

No joke. I don’t even know what Mesa driver version I have. I just don’t need to know it’s all in kernel.
