Alcohol drinking will shrink in the next decade, research finds by freebee in c/world@lemmy.world
[-] freebee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Yes the ones that stand a chance are higher segment, turn to biological wine only and to "luxury experience at our vineyard". But no way French, Italian, Spanish or German wine can continue to compete in lower segments on world market flooded by cheap mass produced wine from South America, South Africa etc while demand declines. Of course it will not disappear completely from Europe, but the risk for certain villages and regions is very real because wine from other continents is silly cheap. If you do drink wine once in a while: buy regional if possible! (That goes for all agricultural products that are available from your own region)

I agree there are few advantages to alcohol.

But for some regions in Europe it means traditions older than the Roman empire, related to wine growing, can disappear. On steep sunny rocky slopes where little else will grow well, and it's often really deeply embedded in almost everything in such a region: restaurants, tourism, landscape... 80% inhabitants are somehow linked to the winery. Then it's not anonymous capitalist sounding "industry" but just some guy in a small village whose father's father's father ... once started an Inn with winegrowing on the side and when all 4 of such businesses in a village go bankrupt the entire village can become an abandoned wasteland in just a few years.

30 ist das Maximum. Du darfst da auch 15 fahren... mitten von der Straße. Große Fahrzeuge sind Gäste in engen städtischen Raum, sie können sich anpassen. Und wann das viel nervt werden sie vielleicht auch mal mehr pro wirklich baulich getrennte Fahrradwege...

Because you have to get your friends to move to Lemmy too so the USSR/PRC loving weirdos become a lower % of total user base. Not kidding.

People of Sweden, why do you build miniature urinals into your rain drainpipes?

Maybe the best solution is to build a Truman show like simulated world and contain the Trump problem in there.

Replace Windows, Excel needed (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 5 months ago by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/linux@lemmy.ml
83 comments fedilink

I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.

Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.

Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.

Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.

Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.

Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)

Because there are systems in place which enable sociopaths and psychopaths to become the richest and most powerful people in the world and the world is never enough for them.

Best HTPC distro? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by freebee@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

After many years of absence, I am trying to get back into soulseek using Nicotine+.

Installed it through Flatpak on a debian based system. Application seems to work fine... except: clicking the "Add" button on the Shares pane of the settings menu does nothing. No dialog opens, no error message is shown, just nothing. Is it a known bug with an easy fix?

EDIT / SOLVED: appearantly when one logs into a remote desktop session, the file picker sometimes crashes. For anyone encountering same issues: login directly instead of remotely, or use suggested solve: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-chooser-does-not-open-for-flatpak-applications-f40-sway/126351/4

Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service by freebee in c/technology@lemmy.world
[-] freebee@sh.itjust.works 70 points 2 years ago

I dislike the fact even more then the idea.

Called a bank recently.

They: "please say in a word the subject your call is about so we can immediately connect you to the right department "

Me: "LOAN"

They: you said "limits on your cards", 1 for yes 2 for no

I tried 3 times, gave up. They won, I guess.
