As someone in their 30s, you are a young woman

Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really means in c/technology@lemmy.world

Sounds.. typical. The last one is really why I don’t like TurboTax to begin with. But I don’t know how to find a tax consultant so… TurboTax it is for me

So Android only, and not in the play store?

So I did consider that before going with the VM. My big issue with that is that it looks like a lot of sensitive information is stored online, whereas TurboTax stores my information on the local machine and only transmits as needed.

Any feedback to the contrary would be appreciated

Yeah I tried vscode but it’s just similar enough to vs yet different enough to be frustrating

I really don’t like Microsoft, but the two products I think Microsoft got mostly right are Microsoft Office and Visual Studio. I really can’t find comparable products.

Open office and forks feel like Microsoft Office 97. While usable, it takes me twice as long to do things. I would almost prefer to use a LaTeX editor over word. Excel? Idk

From a business perspective, it doesn’t make sense to switch to libre office. W10 support also ends 10/25. It is highly irresponsible for an IT department to continue to use EOL products so they should be changing to W11 and new Microsoft office

For individuals, I mean…. I just installed a W10 VM to give me more time to find a Linux compatible alternative to turbo tax and to use visual studio so idk

There’s nothing wrong with adhesive. My car window shade things are attached via adhesive.

However, if it is not an extra attachment, shouldn’t they be clipped in somehow?

Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

It’s not THAT bad. Certainly more complicated than before. I don’t think it requires that much upkeep. But this time around it took around 1 month to get it stable. Then I’m coasting for the time being.

But yes, unless you have a specific use case or strong desire, dont.

Email is so important. If you don’t have a stable way to do it and something goes down, you’re SOL and you are responsible

Can you send mail through each email? I had a catch all forwarder before but it l had to reply with a different email, leading to occasional issues.

That’s basically the reason I have a server. I can set up forwarders between my wife and I, and if I need to send mail as kobra@domain.tld, I can just set up the alias and send it.

I think you’d have to go through a bidding process and public comment period. /me shrugs

EVs are stupid anyway. We should just make enthusiast cars that are fun to drive with toll “roads” to race on like Germany, and then build public transportation while removing road lanes until there’s only enough for service vehicles.

We need infrastructure that makes sense. EVs only help car companies

Registrar alternative to namecheap (lemmy.ca)
 

Hi,

American looking to move my domains to somewhere more stable. I found some alternatives on Google, but I worry they are basically GoDaddy.

Any suggestions for domain registrars?

Tangentially football related (FC25) (lemmy.ca)
 

I last played FIFA 20111 or 2013. Moving on to FC25, I feel like the offside rules has significantly changed (or they added the video monitoring thing into the game)

Can someone help me clarify offsides rules? I was under the impression that offsides is when the ball is in front of the second to last defender, at the point of contact with the ball, no legal playable part of the body may be past the second to last defender.

However, I swear in FC25, I’ve gotten an offsides after the keeper touches it but doesn’t hold on to it, and I pass to someone else past the second defender.

That, and I swear I’ve gotten an offsides for having a hand or part of an arm past the last defender.

I like cars but… (lemmy.ca)
 

I can’t help but think that cars (EV included) just aren’t the answer. I feel like bikes aren’t the answer either. I feel like the metro and high speed rail are.

Most people don’t drive because they like driving (US), most people drive because they have to. And that sucks. You shouldn’t feel like you’re forced to drive. Because that’s auto insurance and auto registration that you have to pay.

You can’t eliminate roads altogether. You need at least one or two lanes for fire trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc. but you can create pockets of no car zones.

People like me who like cars, should be able to have places we store our cars. We should have places where we can explore the limits of our cars instead of driving through traffic. But that should be a strictly extracurricular activity.

In the no car pockets, you should be able to walk to a grocery store, hardware store, that has what you need. You should be able to have mixed zoning. Single family units shouldn’t be the norm. If I own a car but it’s not my dedicated form of transportation, I can buy a cooler car and I don’t need a garage next to where I live to store it. I can store it outside no car pockets so that I can take public transport to my car and then take my car to the track.

Yes, it’ll take awhile to get there but why aren’t we doing more to that end? Am I too idealistic?

Why do so many lemmy instances have non-traditional TLDs? (lemmy.ca)
 

I’ve seen:

  • .ml
  • .social
  • .world
  • .cuz

Is it due to cheaper registration and/or renewal fees? Or are there simply more availability on those TLDs?

Is there anyway to turn off swipe to upvote? (lemmy.ca)
 

I have accidentally upvoted two things that I did not intend. I don’t intend to ever swipe to upvote - but I would like to swipe to go back. Is there anyway to make the swipe to upvote a choice?
