Ah so you’re fighting liberals by writing unhinged stuff on internet. Good job. Think about it the next time no one takes you seriously.

Why do people on Lemmy always find a way to make everything about liberals? That’s what I’m getting tired of. Whenever something happens, people come up saying “well yeah, liberals suck”. How is that better than the thing you’re arguing against? If you’re tired of “satisfaction with hypocrisy” of one group, what is your prefered group doing? Is there someone actually doing something about it? Because I only see people writing stuff on internet forums, regardless of their affiliation.

Oh I know SAP products pretty well. I’m asking because the original post was writing about “crying about antifa” and mentioning SAP at the same time.

I might be out of the loop, but SAP? What did they do?

I agree. I just don’t like the attitude where internet is already declaring “victory” when so far not much has been done.

I understand that people got angry (partially because of “Canada + Europe vs USA” stuff; partially because people are already pissed at Big Tech). I also understand that inside of niche communities people are trying to do something and are getting hyped.

The problem is when people start extrapolating the view of “their” community to the whole world. “Everyone is ditching big tech! I read about that every day! (In a community populated by likeminded people)”. And suddenly there are “victorious” headlines and people get complacent. “Yeah Big Tech, you lost… That’s what you get for messing with us”.

I might be preaching to the choir, but we shouldn’t get complacent this time.

I wouldn’t say they lost. Not by a long shot. I understand the sentiment of “let’s get rid of them! Now’s the best time to do that”. But there’s still A LOT to do to make that happen.

But obviously - let’s contribute to that as much as possible.

They would be dumb if they didn’t do that. Did anyone expect something else?

Matrix is pretty much that already.

I had few issues recently, with connection to various game servers where the connection did not work until I did a reboot of the xbox. Whether that’s an xbox problem, that I’m not sure.

The lineup of games which they presented is quite impressive (from Switch perspective). But I’m curious what will be actual real life performance of those. I mean, a lot od things they added are cute, bute the performance is #1 motivation to buy a new generation.

I’m not sure if I understand, but how would you access those reminder lists on Android devices? Is that possible somehow?

That could be a solution, but the thing is, I’m trying to slowly migrate all of the tools I’m using to something that’s independent on the platform. To be able to freely switch between iOS and Android whenever I want. (Preferrably to a degoogled Android). I’m also the person in our household who brings the new alternative, test it, make sure it will work crossplatform with other family members and so on…

As of now I’m still not ready to “jump the ship”, but I want to gather portfolio of tools to be able to do so at any time without significant discomfort (especially cnsidering other family members which are less open to experimentation)

This looks good. I’ll give it a try, thank you very much.

If you’re parsing 100k entries for an hour, I can tell you something is very wrong. Over my career I took care of lots of SAP systems (from Basis perspective) which ranged from small ERPs/EWMs with only few hundreds of GBs of data up to massive Business Warehouse systems with tens of terabytes.

And 100k entries really shouldn’t take that much, because that’s nothing. But of course it’s possible. SAP needs administration… You need to take care of the system, you need to take care of the underlying database. You need to be sure that you’re following proper recommendations to ensure good performance. And then there’s also a question what exactly was running slowly. SAP is usually heavily modified by custom coding and while the end user might not be aware which applications are “SAP standard” and which are custom, it makes a lot of difference. It’s easy for in-house developers to customize a program only for the program to work badly.

My point is - SAP can work perfectly fine as long as it’s maintained by experienced people and if the custom development is done properly. But companies love to cut corners and their employees don’t even know if the problematic report is created by SAP, or by some random developer with lack of experience. To the end user, it’s always SAP that’s bad.

There’s no evidence? Other than Russia saying that they want their “sphere of influence” and so on? What you are saying right now is the same that was already said in 2014. “Let’s don’t anger Russia. Let’s keep them dependent on trading with us and they won’t attack”. And look how much good this has done for Ukraine. So I’m going to flip your argument and ask a rhetorical question: Is there any evidence/precedent that Russia won’t invade again?

Maintaining trading as a manner of keeping peace only works if you’re dealing with rational actors. And if you look around the world, you’ll see that this is not what is happening. You will see USA making threats to Canada, to Panama, to Greenland. These countries were doing what you’re proposing. Trading. And now they’re the target. And it only took “few” irrational people that have other priorities than trade (even if that negatively influences their countries).

Regarding your stance on Ukraine: This is making me pretty annoyed. Because I’m already pretty sure that when Russia is going to invade Slovakia or Baltics or Romania, we’ll keep hearing the same thing. “But a lot of people were pro-Russian there. You don’t understand the intricacies of their local politics.” When Russia is going to invade Germany, you can also use the same argument that eastern Germany is a lot more open towards Russia then the rest of country. You can say this about a lot of countries.

I will repeat myself, but you’re saying things that were said in 2014. They’re being said now. And they will be also said during next invasion. So I can tell you what’s going to be said regarding French nuclear arsenal: “Oh you want to destroy the world/ww3 because of some small country that was already pretty pro-Russian to begin with?”. You can take your whole comment and apply it on all the future conflicts.

And before I reply to your last paragraph, I need to mention that pretty much all of your points are also raised by politicians in my country. Politicians which are proven to be paid by Russia and points which are mostly on Russia’s behalf. Because of that I simply don’t believe you’re arguing in good faith and because of that I won’t reply to any of your replies to this comment. Feel free to reply, but I don’t think it makes sense to continue this discussion. And now to the reply: The only one who conflates Europe having a bigger army with “calling for war” is you. This is what we keep hearing from Russian apologists since 2022. “Europe are warmongers. Kids on internet are pro-war”. The exact point for having bigger army is to NOT need to use it. No one is saying “let’s build an army to invade Russia”, so your point about anyone “wanting” to go to war is moot. What people are saying is that they want bigger army to make us a less-feasible target. And the only people who have objective problem with that are Russians, because it makes their dreams of conquest harder to execute. This is why when anyone uses this argument about “kids are heroes on internet”, it makes me not take the discussion with them seriously.

We will probably disagree on whether we’re defended enough. Is our defense budget sufficient to ensure that Russia won’t sweep through Europe without resistance? Sure. But the desired outcome is not to withstand the invasion further into Europe (at some point) but rather to:

• stop the already ongoing invasion into Ukraine
• prevent any further attempts to invade again

Without increasing our defense, we will always be at a risk that Russia will try to invade even if it would be fully aware that it couldn’t conquer the whole continent. They can always do what they’re doing right now:

• Depend on other allies to provide weapons/manpower
• Try to grab single country and hope that the rest of Europe consider it to be too big of a hassle to defend it
• Sow discord among Europeans and try to sway people by “rationally explaining” that “why should France invest in defense when they’re far far from potential front line?” (and similar)

We also need to admit, that our numbers spent on defense can’t be directly compared with Russia’s, because they are a single country. They have better control over their budget and over the control how and if the budget is spent. It’s a lot more complicated to get 100% of Europe on the same page when deciding how the money is spent.

The best way to avoid all of this is by making ourselves not worth attacking. And not just by Russia alone, but by Russia backed by their peers. Do you believe our current budget is sufficient for that?
