You know, it is kind of interesting (and I know this wasn’t the point of your comment). Most of them were not by generals, but assassination attempts on Hitler numbered more than 40, and the first one was the year before he took national office.
The first by a known perpetrator was from Bavarian politician Ludwig Aßner, who sent Hitler a poisoned letter in 1933.
We’re at about 1933. Hitler is about to consolidate power, surround himself with only the most loyal, and purge the military of anyone outside of the ideology.
The propaganda machine will need to expand rapidly to support that effort.
Just wait until they hear about the host of the Apprentice
It’s an awful mix of half-assed approaches to things. Awkward syntax on everything and very poor at recognizing what types of data it is handling.
Open a CSV in a fresh Excel install. It will almost certainly mistake something for a date if the CSV is sufficiently large (unless the user is exceedingly explicit at changing settings for that particular CSV). It will reformat that data as a date, and as an added bonus, since Autosave is on by default, it’ll save that reformatted data back into your CSV. Yes, settings can be changed to avoid these things. But why isn’t it just designed better so as to avoid it altogether?
If that was just a natural side effect of spreadsheet apps, I could understand it. But LibreOffice Calc is a million times better at recognizing what types of data it is handling, so it seems to just be Excel’s shittiness.
The fact that it also hasn’t really changed beyond aesthetics since 2004 is just… wild.
Excel?! Have to respectfully disagree on that one.
Ah yes, you’re right.
I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.
For your sacrifices, I salute you
Is there a Microsoft product that isn’t?
To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I’ve never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.
After Tuesday, I must conclude she is right.
I’ve never been so embarrassed about my country. The fear hasn’t even hit me yet.
Does it even matter at this point? Can’t he just throw pardons everywhere as needed once he takes office?
I heard the “but there won’t be any of these wars once Trump is back” argument several times.
I would usually revel in watching the walls come down around someone’s stupid opinions, but in this case, we as a country have to suffer for it.
Interestingly, I’d say I give a shit about Tesla and SpaceX about 9 times less
The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey, a prominent activist who has spread false claims about elections.
This is the game. Challenge everything as much as possible. Even if very little of it sticks, two big things have will have happened:
Some number of actual votes will have been invalidated – often from groups more likely to vote blue.
The same groups making the challenges can claim that the multitude of challenges are themselves evidence of problems with the electoral system. (This should be impossible, but it seems to be a common tactic when googling from your armchair counts as “research”.)
This is the only corporate game left. Convince clueless investors that they’ll make more money if they give you money. No real innovation or even a real goal. Just buzzword after buzzword to get those investors on board.
Capitalism doesn’t breed innovation. It eventually eats it.
I’d like to think some things will change once not every major investor is clueless after just being rich their whole lives, but given how generational wealth works, I’m not holding my breath.
One more rich person in the US doing illegal things without consequences.
The quiet part is now the loud part, and it doesn’t matter at all.
Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I want on Lemmy.
I think the JD Vance “I’m a never Trumper” clip has kind of killed the title, no?
We’ve gone from alternative facts to alternative reality.
You could tell me that the Tik Tok “GigaChad” filter had been applied to that thumbnail, and I’d believe it.
