It’s hard to misrepresent this as anything but Trump throwing a tantrum.

Can’t have depression if your entire day is consumed by worrying about your next meal…

The article is talking about a local ban, pushing for it, and talking about other local bans.

It has been banned nationwide for decades. States do not have the authority to ban it. Cities do have authority, but the article isn’t about cities and it would be redundant anyway.

So, overall, it’s a political piece, pushing an entity that doesn’t have the authority to ban the thing into banning something that has already been banned by a higher (on this case) authority for decades.

And yes, plenty of people still do it. Even outside of Rio (but it’s way more common there). A serious article would talk a lot more about the police enforcing the ban, but then the author did notice that this just won’t happen in Rio, for several practical reasons. So, why all the space pushing for something that is already there?

Everything past making a call is awful

Making a call doesn’t work on a random browser selection that changes every time the thing is updated. It also takes about half a minute to complete a call. And the audio quality is significantly worse than in meetings.

And the most interesting, the brokeness doesn’t apply to attending meetings. Those have completely independent broken cases.

Honestly, there isn’t any single thing in Teams that just works properly.

That!

That’s what is missing to close the loop back into depression!

What is this talking about? Cutting lines have been banned for decades already.

Until sites start disallowing youbikeys because it doesn’t make it impossible for you to backup your keys…

What is planned to happen.

I figure the most bang for my buck right now is to set up off-site backups to a cloud provider.

If you don’t have the budget for on-premises backup, you almost certainly can’t afford to restore the cloud backup if anything goes wrong.

Then I started reading about backing up databases

Go read the instructions for your database in particular. They are completely different from each other. Ignore generic instructions.

now I’m configuring a docker-db-backup container

What is perfectly fine. But I’d first look how this interferes with the budget you talked about earlier and if it wouldn’t be better to keep things simpler and put the money on data replication.

Either way, if your budget is low, I’d focus a lot on making sure you have the data when you need to restore, and less on streamlining the restore procedure. (That seems to be the direction you are going, so yeah, I’d say it’s good.) Just make sure to test the restore procedure once in a while.

It must be hard to live with an entire planet wishing you die soon.

Just like functional programing is about making state explicit, not making it go away.

Overall, both arms are wrong… so they cancel out or something like that.

You know, violence is absolutely not acceptable until the point where society safety is determined by a dictatorship and the arguments aren’t on level of ideas anymore.

…

I suspect the US is beyond that point by now.

That’s a really bad understanding of how economies work. On all levels.

That’s the kind of the way Trump thinks.

Well, if you find it, please tell :)

It’s a clear Microsoft paradox: is the support person right, or did Teams do something reasonable?

You know, last time I’ve reached the MS forum, there was a support person there answering “No, there’s no way to disable the Teams pop-up that appears over your shared screen when you mute the microphone. Lots of people ask the same question, and the developers have no plans of changing this”.

The answer was complete, helpful, and completely out of the normal for the forum. The only thing more out of character would be if Teams actually had an option to make it work as any sane person would expect, but then, this is not on the forum people.
