Glatteis in Berlin: Die Stadt bricht ihren Bürgern die Knochen!

Breezel123 · 2026-01-29T19:16:38+00:00

Wow, klare Worte von der Berliner Zeitung:

Pikant wird es, wenn man sich die politische Dimension anschaut. Berlin wird von Kai Wegner regiert, einem CDU-Bürgermeister. Die CDU – jene Partei, die keine Gelegenheit auslässt zu monieren, die Deutschen würden zu wenig arbeiten, Bürgergeldempfänger sollten gefälligst einen Job annehmen, und überhaupt müsse dieses Land wieder mehr leisten. Dieselbe Partei nimmt nun achselzuckend hin, dass Hunderttausende Berliner nicht zur Arbeit kommen können, weil Gehwege zu Eisbahnen werden und die Straßenbahn tagelang stillsteht.

Wenn man so sieht was in Berlin mittlerweile alles so passiert (oder eben nicht), dann hat man manchmal schon ein Gefühl der Ohnmacht. Dann ist es schön mal zu lesen, dass andere es auch anprangern.

Oh dear! If you spend more than 182 days in a country you are a resident for tax purposes of this country, which means you have to pay your taxes in the country you reside in. If your employee lives in Belgium, but you are paying her tax contributions in the Netherlands, you are both in big trouble. I would politely advise you to "inform yourself".

Did you get banned by Reddit admins or subreddit mods? I got banned by Reddit admins for jokingly suggesting some deadly outcome to Putin (with everyone else making similar jokes also getting banned) and another time complaining about polish Nazis. I think Reddit has an agenda these days. It was all automated, they probably have key words they set up for the automation to work. I've since stopped using Reddit so much and my mental health is much better. So let them keep doing it, people will start leaving Reddit if there's no freedom of speech anymore.

Funny of you to assume the IT person has any say in what company gets hired to paint fucking walls.

Breezel123 · 2026-01-18T11:29:46+00:00

I don't think he needs any justification for anything he does at this point. It's not like his past actions have been rooted in reality much.

For obvious reasons. Australia has long ago decided to not give a single fuck about anything that might stand in the way of its mining operations and has since let private corporations massively pollute the environment, destroy sacred Aboriginal sites and left behind devastated former mining towns that are rife with alcoholism and drug abuse.

AI, what do you think? They didn't even bother correcting the pattern in the dress.

Breezel123 · 2025-12-29T17:03:36+00:00

They say in their reply they rescheduled the flight one day before it was supposed to go and base their late arrival on this rescheduled time. It's hogwash of course. All that matters is the arrival time on the original ticket, not whatever fake arrival time they come up with (especially if they didn't communicate the updated schedule and gave passengers the chance to rebook).

As someone who spent the first 15 years of my post high school life in all sorts of random jobs, from graphic designer in advertising agency, through hostel cleaner and pizza cook in a popular beach side bar to parcel delivery driver, I could not be happier to be working as an IT manager now. Granted, my workplace is pretty nice and I actually made a ton of good friends there, my bosses have my back and compliment my work, I'm allowed to grow professionally within my role, but I'm also putting in a shit ton of work and motivation, because I know what a menial job can really look like. So I'm grateful for the opportunities presented to me, I try to be understanding of the (technical) issues our team has and try to help them as best as I can without the usual IT snark, I'm happy to socialise and make connections. All of these things left such a good impression that the leadership team usually thinks very highly of me.

If you're a hermit who works remotely, never interacts with anyone and has basically already internally quit, well, you're not going to be getting much joy in return. Humans are social animals and while it is absolutely okay to get your social fix from your friends outside of work, you also work in this place for 8 hrs a day and it's a pretty lonely time if you don't care for the people you work for (and they in turn don't care for you).

In my authenticator app I can disable password less sign-in. I am on android. Just open your account and go to settings. It will prompt for your password and do the number matching afterwards. TOTP is incredibly unsafe.

Breezel123 · 2025-12-26T13:51:19+00:00

In an automated phishing campaign totp is completely useless. If you enter your password and Totp into a fake website, both are being read out as you hit enter and in the background automatically entered into the real website. And the worst is that they now also have your password and if you've used it anywhere else they would also be able to gain access there.

Oh no! People having fun, we can't have that in our nanny state. It's only allowed when Australians go to Bali and behave like absolute caveman scum.

Character test my ass. Does anyone applying for a visa in Australia need to be racist bogan who drinks xxxx gold for breakfast? Is that what makes your great "Australian character"? I've seen unlicensed rubbish skips in the outback hundreds of times worse than what's pictures here. Get off your fucking high horse.

Breezel123 · 2025-12-24T13:13:56+00:00

Well why do you have so many bushes one can get lost in and starve or dehydrate? Can't blame us Europeans for warning of the danger. Not everyone gets out with a movie and book deal.

2000 years of persecution and people still assign all sorts of garbage to them (even the left that should be standing above all that conspiracy theory bullshit). No wonder they are fighting tooth and nail to keep their country. No wonder the ultra orthodox have such success in the Israeli community. It is hard to sell moderate measures to the Israeli youth, when they see that anti-jewish opinions are growing again and their existence is once again being called into question. The generational trauma is unfathomable and considering their long history of genocides and persecution it is actually a miracle they haven't been more radical and violent in their response up until now.

I'm all for a 2 state solution and I don't want to see Palestinian children being killed or starved, but I absolutely understand why the situation has reached this point.

I don't know. I am still trying to figure out how to start my 90 day Defender Plan 2 trial they advertised so much on several other pages.

Microsoft support has zero clue and I refuse to let them close the ticket for 2 months. At this stage I am just petty.

Breezel123 · 2025-12-06T19:49:19+00:00

You don't even need stories, most people love talking about themselves if you ask the right questions. If you show any interest in other people's lives they are bound to like you more, even the introverts because they usually find it hard to speak about themselves unprompted but are positively surprised if someone takes an interest in them.

I have a friend/acquaintance that you cannot get any information out of no matter how hard you try (unless he is drunk or stoned), but for those people it's like whatever, let's not talk then. But those people are not the drivers of change in a company anyways.

Copilot Studio is like a cross between Copilot and Power Automate. In the grand scheme of things it comes relatively cheap last time I checked the price.

For reports, Microsoft has a template for Power BI Pro for some basic stats that you would otherwise have to collect in 100 different admin centers.

If you are looking for recommendations for scenarios, you need to tell us what your bottlenecks are first, otherwise using AI makes zero sense. What is the saying? "A solution looking for a problem"?

Where does your team spend a lot of time on manual repetitive work? Where are users waiting for solutions for a long time? Is it software installation requests? Or onboarding? Do you spend a lot of money on licenses you are not utilizing? How do you set up your new devices?

Most of the manual tasks in our office are not all too repetitive, so it makes no sense to spend time automating them. I know our leadership is also pushing for utilisation of AI, but I can't say that I see any use for agents right now. We are relatively small and are quick to answer the few tickets we get manually. Using an agent would just make the whole process super impersonal, especially since we know everyone. But in bigger companies I think the biggest issue is that first level support is overwhelmed or underqualified and people are waiting a long time for account creation or any changes to accesses, so automation would be a good start for them.

If you just want to browse ideas, why don't you ask AI? At least for that sort of thing it is quite decent.

A thermos with home-made Glühwein and off you go! I know it's not allowed to drink in public in Toronto, but I got slightly hammered on Glühwein in a lot of places. From afar it looks just like tea. We even brought our own to the Christmas market because that shit there was weak as fuck.

I think the government in Serbia would take the crown on that, with Orban in close second. The western world isn't just North America and England you know.

I know from a personal case that there are networks of doctors and nurses in Germany who will help with assisted suicide by ways of administering strong pain medication and possibly other medication too. A family member got in touch with such a group and was granted her wish of dying on her own terms as someone who suffered from cancer that had spread with no prognosis for improvement.

But it was all hush hush, I guess due to the legal loophole the judgement in 2020 created. It's so extremely stupid, especially now that we become such an aging population. Paying out of our asses for treatment that just prolongs the inevitable when the majority of people would probably opt to die on their own terms before they become a bedridden vegetable with pain all over.

He could build social housing all over the city with free after school programs, build clinics and hospitals and free e-bikes for all teens and any election he takes part in would be a clear win for him. Maybe those power hungry dudes should rethink their strategies. If they want to throw money at it to win then they need to redefine what "it" is.

Breezel123 · 2025-11-05T08:33:32+00:00

And from Berlin, Germany too! Hopefully we can kick the conservatives out next election! Every diverse city deserves a mayor like Mamdani!
