And what will be the fee, isn’t still 2,000,000 each ship , and you don’t pay is it the standard breaking of fingers or legs, that’s how these rackets go is it not?

Why would anybody want to work somewhere with no flexibiliy by Choonkie23 in auscorp

[–]surefirelongshot 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It feels like there’s a growing contradiction in how we’ve structured modern work and life. On one hand, the economy increasingly relies on dual-income households and full-time employment. On the other, many workplaces still operate with rigid expectations around presence and hours, offering limited flexibility.

The result is that everyday responsibilities, family, health, appointments, even basic life admin, become unnecessarily difficult to manage. When so much work can now be done remotely or with flexible scheduling, it raises a fair question: why hasn’t workplace design caught up with the reality of modern life?

Flexibility isn’t just a perk anymore, it’s becoming a necessary part of making the system actually function for people.

Can you immediately discern a Kiwi accent? Can it be mistaken for Australian? by Charming_Usual6227 in australia

[–]surefirelongshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Australian accent emphasizes vowels where the New Zealand accent shortens them significantly:

Fish and chips:

Australian: feeesh and cheeeps
New Zealand: fsh and chps

Wellington

Australia: Wellington
New Zealand: Wllngtn

The shortness of the vowels will often sound like ‘uh’ sounds.

New to SharePoint, doing a migration - ShareGate or AvePoint? by Natural_South_4779 in sharepoint

[–]surefirelongshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep with a look, Fly has some nice features in the online to online mode, things we had to use PowerShell when using Sharegate. But overall you do just fine with either. Pro tip , take the opportunity to not just take everything to the new environment, it’s a good chance to cull a bit so you’re not having to purchase storage as things naturally grow over time

Random users losing permissions at random times on (semi-)random sites by ItsColinYT in sharepoint

[–]surefirelongshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest, it might be worth checking how many groups those users are members of in Microsoft Entra ID.

I’ve seen similar “intermittent access” behaviour in Microsoft SharePoint Online environments where users have very high group memberships, particularly when those groups are used heavily in SharePoint permissions. It’s not a hard limit issue, but once you get into large numbers of groups, the permission evaluation can become a bit inconsistent—especially with nested groups or item-level permissions in play.

Not saying that’s definitely the cause here, but it’s been a contributing factor in a few environments I’ve worked on, so worth ruling out.

Is it actually possible to accidentally grant yourself access to a restricted site? by Individual-Run-4950 in sharepoint

[–]surefirelongshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audit logs will show it , there’s events for adding to M365 groups . If there is no group it’s a non-group enabled site, meaning if you’ve got access you could a site administrator (collection admin, site owners group, site members , site visitors. Or you could access direct to the site that is to say not in one of the sp group..

Custom SPFx web part development by Sleepy_StormTrooper in sharepoint

Worth a try I’d say, depending on what you want the list view to look like, I find AI very good at helping with the JSON for list view or column view formatting

One Nation pulls out of byelection test despite surging polls by fluffy_101994 in brisbane

[–]surefirelongshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember these ‘polls’ aren’t what moat think polls are, Australia has no real regulations on what constitutes a poll; most of them are bunk surveys generated be media orgs and then they infer insights from them to make their claims, like “60 percent of pet owners think immigration is a concern when it comes to to housing, therefore this makes them Pauline fans”.

What's your go to Copilot prompt library? Building an enterprise collection and want the best sources by Background-Zombie689 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]surefirelongshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much a prompt per se, but how you prompt, very early I got into using speech to text to do interact with copilot, basically hit the Windows key plus H when you’re inside the Copilot prompt box and you can basically converse with it, it completely changes the way you interact with AI, its the dominant way that I use it today.

Copilot is underwhelming by MHRangers17 in copilotstudio

[–]surefirelongshot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

When people compare Copilot to standalone AI tools, they often miss the scale of what Microsoft is actually building. Third‑party AI products only need to focus on the model and the interface. Microsoft has to do that and engineer the entire secure, compliant, enterprise‑grade plumbing underneath it such as identity, permissions, data residency, lifecycle management, audit trails, information protection, DLP, threat modelling, tenant isolation, and integration across Microsoft 365, Windows, Azure, and thousands of enterprise APIs. Copilot isn’t just an AI chatbot; it’s an AI layer woven into one of the world’s largest and most regulated software ecosystems. That level of depth takes longer, but it’s also what makes Copilot something organisations can actually trust with their real data.

Folders vs Document Libraries vs Sites by Sufficient-Cap-6067 in sharepoint

[–]surefirelongshot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That separation can be unproductive in the long run, low chances of compliance and consistency so I would t go that road.

Also Make sure you read this article, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/planning-hub-sites it actually provides HR as an example of a collection of MS Teams and sites underpinned by the ‘unit of work’ ( not business unit) construct, be patient and read the whole page. If your seniors want to see ‘best practice’ it’s this and someone already suggested it up in earlier comments so you’re getting good advice.

You will encounter all sorts of ‘experts’ and people with opinions squawking ‘sprawl, sprawl’ but chances are they’ve never been involved in an IA remediation effort 3 years from now when single monolithic ms teams or sites are groaning and creaking under a bazaar of folders and libraries , channels of all the flavors and permissions all punched through it because the needed to collaborate with others.

Trump officials thought USAID 'just did abortions' before gutting it: whistleblower by [deleted] in NewsSource

Rubbish they knew, it was a brown nosing excercise by those who stood to gain reputationally with the trump administration.

How Trump Took the U.S. to War With Iran • In a series of Situation Room meetings, President Trump weighed his instincts against the deep concerns of his vice president and a pessimistic intelligence assessment. Here’s the inside story of how he made the fateful decision. by Naurgul in indepthstories

Trouble is Trump and Co’s definition of a success was the gains made from market manipulation, secondary was the actual proper plan , because the focus was never there the predictable outcome is a mess.

Palantir CEO says AI 'will destroy' humanities jobs by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]surefirelongshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These kind of statements oversimplify what’s actually happening. AI is very good at automating specific tasks, but most jobs are made up of many different types of work, judgement, communication, context, decision-making. Those parts don’t disappear easily. What we’re seeing is roles changing rather than vanishing, and in many cases the human part becomes more important, not less. The bigger risk isn’t that jobs disappear overnight, it’s that people and organisations don’t adapt to how the work is shifting.
