SoftMaker Office (sopuli.xyz)

I love it. Pictured: TextMaker. There are also modules for spreadsheets and presentations.
It's a lot more polished and professional than LibreOffice or OpenOffice, both of which I've been using for a very long time.
I'd recommend it especially to (ESL) researchers due to 100% MS Office compatibility, the integration of Zotero, DeepL, ChatGPT, Wikipedia and various thesauri. One-time or recurring fee. I am not affiliated to the company.

How considerate to have a guy in the corner translating to Italian.

It's not really a paradox when you think about it. In fact, it's absolutely necessary.

People defending our values and standing up to the dismantling of democracy and human rights.
Protests top to bottom, left to right: Poland, Euromaidan, UK, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Slovakia, Euromaidan, Slovakia.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

  • Join a pro-EU party.
  • Join rallies and marches pro-EU and against its adversaries.
  • Disentangle yourselves from non-European goods and services.
  • Sign a citizen's initiative.
  • Get an EU flag, lapel pins etc.
  • Don't feed the trolls.

AfD declared class war... on the working class. So if you don't go and vote, there's a big risk of that coming to you.

Two quotes that made my hair stand on end:
Vance’s message couldn’t have been clearer: Our way, or we’ll join Putin in hybrid warfare to roil your domestic politics — something billionaire Elon Musk has already done by boosting the prospects of the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
Kuleba: "In Paris, he literally said, 'Don’t try to compete with us on AI. Embrace our companies, remove all the obstacles, and then everything will be fine.' … Then he came here, and after attacking Europe’s economic model, he attacked its political model."

Unless, of course, the US exits NATO. At this point, everybody would be better of without them.

Good on you, Zelensky. Do not cave.

That reminds me of three cities I used to frequent. You could predict their economic and political situation based on the way desire paths were being handled.

  • Place 1: poor, left-wing. Nothing, the desire paths were left alone.
  • Place 2: rich, left-wing. Desire paths were nicely paved over.
  • Place 3: rich, right-wing. They placed big branches on a desire path to block it. After people started climbing over them, they fell a tree on it.

LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: "Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13." Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?

I'm getting a sort of buffer underrun when doing routine so I'll always try and make trivial tasks or busywork faster, more efficient, or superfluous through process design. When I cannot do that, I'll listen to music or podcasts, that helps somewhat.
The main drawback of this condition is that many employers think I simply "like to work" and bury me in even more busywork.

Noch eingeschrumpft, bin sehr gespannt.
Der Laika-Verlag ist zwar bankrott gegangen, der Buchverkauf geht jedoch weiter, solange der Vorrat reicht.

During the pandemic, this was, in fact, my main computer's desktop. Bonus: SimpleFind screenshot. Isn't it the greatest finder program of all time?
