the absolutely smashable Mitch McConnell

I just wanted to quote you out of context.

basically invisible until the last moment: no light, wear black clothes (and often in the wrong direction)

I am unfamiliar with rules regarding traffic-worthiness of a bicycle, but in germany, your bike requires certain equipment to be fitted to the bike - reflectors on the spokes, front and rear light at night, etc. Additionally, you’re not allowed to drive in the wrong direction, unless specifically allowed to with a street sign (one-way-streets often allow for ciclysts to drive against the direction)

If those rules don’t exist in a similar fashion in italy: consider making the bike traffic worthy before forcing ciclysts into high-viz-gear and therefore reduce their willingness to actually use a bike in the first place.

If those rules do exist in a similar fashion already: cyclists are apparently not following those rules, adding another rule for high-viz-gear is most likely not going to be followed either. Maybe consider enforcing the existing rules before adding another rule.

Not frequent, but I do go back

Wait, we are supossed to change hobbies? I just pick up new ones.

Surely, you must be choking…

First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.

as for your question

…have you picked up any games? What have you bought,

I have picked up:

• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99€
• Supermoves for 0,77€
• Mirage Feathers for 2,99€
• a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.

Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven’t picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.

Another game I can recommend is “Beyond: Two Souls”, which is available for 1,99€ on Steam. It’s a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get “Detroit: Become Human”, a very similar title in terms of gameplay.

at our company, we threw out a Lenovo Yoga X390. Technically, W11 would be supported, but it’s 6 years old now, so it goes in the trash.

I made sure it’s “disposed of” properly. In totally unrelated news, I installed manjaro on my new Lenovo Yoga X390, which I found in the trash.

Looks like 87% of people leaving votes understood the obvious sarcasm, even without the /s :)

I did not, I deliberately left it out. It should be immediately clear that my comment is sarcasm.

maybe we should find another sollution than having women store money in their bras?

As a conservative, I propose women should no longer be allowed to handle money, when they go outside they need to be accompanied by their husband or father, who will handle their money for them. That way, women are also unable to spend money on useless shit like birth control, pads etc. and can use it to buy proper stuff, like beer and meat!

ERP software is always “lock in”, simply because it is unfeasable for companies to keep switching from one ERP software to another. Doing so would mean having to rework every workflow within the company, changing the software programing to be as least intrusive/different as possible.

I know from working daily with SAP’s nextmost competitor, and being usersupport within the company.

yes, i do. Almost daily.

I don’t know, I believe this footage might have been tampered with.

Why is the horses mane not moving?

I used calibre with the dedrm plugin to strip all my kindle ebooks from DRM and converted them to epub.

I then jailbroke my kindle and installed koreader on it, ditching amazon completely. I am not buying books from amazon anymore, but I get my books exclusively drm-free as epubs.

Calibre, combined with koreader on my device, allows me to sync my ebooks wirelessly over WiFi at home.

What have you been playing

My usual games: Tetris Effect, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (openRCT2), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
But also a few other games: Selfloss, Trans Neurotica and GTA V.

Allthough my Steam Deck will be out of service for a few days, I found a “spicy pillow” in my deck, have to wait for a replacement battery to show up :(

Don’t let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, “Spare Tire” Dixon.
