Wir freuen uns sehr darüber, dass wir kürzlich mehrere #Lenovo #Thinkpad​s gespendet bekommen haben. Unglücklicherweise aber ohne die passenden Netzteile. Von daher die Frage an euch: Habt ihr Netzteile mit den rechteckigen #SlimTip-Steckern übrig, die ihr uns gerne spenden wollen würdet? Wir suchen mindestens ein Dutzend Stück, die genauen Leistungsdaten sind egal. Falls ihr etwas habt, bitte unter https://computertruhe.de/kontakt/?form-recipient=Ich%20w%C3%BCrde%20gerne%20etwas%20spenden#kontaktformular melden. #FollowerPower

Durch den Ausfall meines Assistenten, der einen Motorradunfall hatte, ist mein Stellenangebot noch mal aktueller geworden. Momentan suche ich auf jeden Fall weitere Springer, ab Januar gibt es dann mindestens einen Minijob!

Die Arbeitsatmosphäre ist entspannt und freundlich, Aufgaben sind vielfältig und bunt – spannende Erlebnisse garantiert. Entlohnung wäre 300 € pro Tag.

Wenn ihr jemanden wisst, die Interesse hat, bitte melden.

Gerne auch #RT für mehr Reichweite!

Gesundheitswesen in a nutshell: In den Arztpraxen werden jetzt für 400 Mio Euro 130.000 Konnektoren (spezielle Router) ausgetauscht, obwohl ein Software-Update möglich wäre und Gesundheits-IT ab 2025 ohne diese Konnektoren auskommen soll.

I am not a golfer. I do not know that particular golf course in France.

I want to note that an increasing number of golf courses these days are managed as biotopes, and are habitats of rare species of plants and animals. Preserving this during a drought might be a defendable decision. Again, I don't know about the particular situation in Toulouse.

Every now and then we get asked why our .ch name servers refuse queries from dig. Here is why you can't dig Switzerland:

If you're still using Google for searching, you're doing it wrong.

There are now search engines that give you better results, with lesser(/no!) ads, in a clean interface, and are more cognizant of your #privacy.

Tried out the #zellij terminal multiplexer. Had a problem/question. Seems the community is only on #discord. After unsuccessfully looking for alternative forums gave up and registered a discord account. Verified mail. Verified mobile number. Captcha'd half dozen of times. Tried joining the zellij discord. Flicker. Website goes in reload loop. Account is now disabled because "We've found your account to be in violation of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines." Fuck you, #discord!

And pretty please, free software projects, don't have your community in proprietary walled gardens like #discord or #slack you have no control over. You're doing your users a disservice. Use #irc or #matrix or whatever. There are enough free alternatives.

Thanks for listening.

Das 9 Euro Ticket ist aus Sicht der Arbeitsamtsjuristen eine, wie sie es ausdrücken, “ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung“ für Grundsicherungsbezieher. Je nach Bundesland kommen daher auf die Sozialhilfeempfänger*innen Rückzahlungsforderungen zu.

> On Thursday, NHTSA said it had discovered in 16 separate instances when this occurred that Autopilot “aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact,” suggesting the driver was not prepared to assume full control over the vehicle.

> CEO Elon Musk has often claimed that accidents cannot be the fault of the company, as data it extracted invariably showed Autopilot was not active in the moment of the collision.

Sigh. 🤦‍♀️

Replace every article about Elon Musk with an article about someone fixing/maintaining important infrastructure. A person repairing buses. A person repairing and tweaking wheelchairs. A person tending to a community garden.

Star Trek, but each colony planet (and every colonist born on one) has to pay rent, to a consortium of hedge funds mostly located on Earth and Vulcan. Also planetary rent doubled in the last ten years, and continues to rise. The entire Federation assumes this is normal, and is actively recruiting each new world it encounters into this scheme.

Hey Fediverse - feel free to boost this question.

Is anyone developing or does anyone know of "brain training" phone/tablet games SPECIFICALLY aimed at users with dementia.

I'm thinking like, bejewelled, hidden object, endless matching, <whatever>scapes, but they need to be ad-free, low-distraction, big visuals, low stakes/low stress.

I almost want toddler busy-games. But for senior adults. SagoBiggie!
