Sadly far from the first time a man has tried to assault me just for minding my own business and riding my bike

No, old man, you don't get to slap me across the face for riding past you on a bike path you're blocking 90% of in spite of my 7 warning bells

Since last night's windows updates, attempting to use my Yubikey causes edge to completely lock up and require task manager to force end the process.

It's a real pain when Hello for Business tries to force you to set up a PIN you've already got, and locks you out of your computer entirely...

If people could stop including the entire internet in their SPF records that'd be great

I've been bedridden for the last 16 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

Well there's definitely photos there

That's totally a normal way to park...

It needs to be said more often that the world is a better, more beautiful and more enriching place BECAUSE trans people are a part of it.

Folks, today (20 Nov) is Transgender Day of Remembrance and I hope everyone can take some quiet moments to reflect and acknowledge on the violence and harm that has taken many from our wonderful Trans+ communities historically.

And a reminder that it costs nothing to be kind to everyone.

turns out it is Governance

they did ask me if pst import is Purview Compliance or Governance though

uhhh, if you don't know, i have zero hope my friend

turns out they simply refuse to log any support requests even if you do get through to a human

guess that is a good way of having amazing stats in your monthly reports! #microsoft

pst import also now constantly fails. again, no avenue for support in spite of paying for pro level. can someone get me a working contact method for business support?? #microsoft

There is no way to log a support request either. All phones go to AI who gives you a URL then hangs up on you.

This is Pro support by the way

it looks like the workaround I used last time to delete malicious emails is now also broken. Microsoft blocking admins completely from protecting users unless they pay for the highest level licenses, yet again

52m ago 06.57 AEDT Job market locking out those who need work the most, says Anglicare Cait Kelly Cait Kelly Australia’s job market is locking out people who most need a chance to work, Anglicare Australia’s annual Jobs Availability Snapshot has revealed. The Snapshot measures how many jobs are available for people who don’t have qualifications or recent experience. It finds that: For every entry-level vacancy, there are 39 people on the JobSeeker payment. Of those, 25 have barriers to work. This is the highest ratio ever recorded by the Snapshot. Entry-level jobs now make up just 11% of all vacancies. This is their lowest share in a decade.

Anglicare Australia executive director, Kasy Chambers, said: All of this shows that people are being failed by a system that treats unemployment as a personal fault instead of a policy failure. Taxpayers are spending billions of dollars on private employment providers whose business model depends on compliance and punishment. They profit whether or not people find work. Meanwhile, people are stuck in endless appointments and meaningless activities – all while competing for jobs that simply aren’t there. It’s time to end this failed experiment. The for-profit model has been running for over 20 years, and long-term unemployment has only grown.

A photo that is sky on the top half, and a wooden fence on the bottom half. In the bottom left corner is most of a small black bird that appears to be diving headfirst towards the ground at a 45 degree angle. Its beak is out of frame.

a failure in many ways, but at least very amusing

Finally got back from the tech the camera my parents bought in 1981. I can't recall when it stopped working but I've wanted to fix it for a long time. Even took it to Germany to try to get it fixed in Dresden where it was built.

Really looking forward to seeing how the first roll of film comes out.

and nowhere for pedestrians to cross even
