Etsy lays off 225 workers after ‘essentially flat’ sales, says CEO | Business
  • “The waters may be rough right now,” he wrote, “but there’s no other ship I’d rather be on, and no other crew I’d rather be with, as we weather this cycle and emerge even stronger on the other side.”

    Sure, as you know that you can throw people overboard to save your own ass.

  • Pirating WordPress plugins
  • And if your client (or client's insurance) is just half-way competent, they will notice that some stuff have no activated license.

    You will end up in a world of pain.

    Just don't do that.

  • Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy?
  • In France there are some mistakes that became social markers.

    People following conspiracy theories are mostly bad educated people, and they wrongly conjugate some verbs.

    The most common examples are:

    • "Nous sachons", instead of "Nous savons" (we know)
    • "Ils croivent" instead of "Ils croient" (they think, they believe)
    • "Comme même" instead of "Quand même" (nonetheless, despite, kinda hard to translate)

    Making one of those mistakes will immediately tag you as a fool.

  • What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?
  • Even though, only the winning side would draft the "official" version of the events. The "real" "truth" would appear only decades later, when everyone involved is dead (or almost) and independant research can happen. E.g. a former French "résistant" recently confessed his group summarily executed a bunch of captured German Soldier in 1944. Some of the members went in politics afterwards, preventing any investigation to take place.

  • Cost-cutting tips?
  • Cost-cutting is corporate-greed mindset, therefore you have to solve it with the same mindset.

    Fire people ! Even you if needed. And let the end-users deal with the outcome.

    (This is not a serious post ^^ )

  • Knowledge in your hands for free: a business proposal.
  • Not dealing with **the effects of **copyright is the thing here.

    And in that sense he can gain some insights ;)

    If I had to implement this business model, I would go to a country that don't give a f* about dcma & stuff, and implement it in a similar way as Mega did.

    With just the adjunction that if you upload a new book, you get free subscription for one week/month/year (depending if you share a small article, or the whole Encyclopedia Universalis)

  • French government defends arrest of teen in classroom over transgender bullying claims
  • Good that government actually DO something.

    2 (or 3) years ago, a teacher was beheaded by students. Death threats against teachers (or other pupils) are quite common in "some" areas (you know, the ones that rioted recently).

    But some part of the population (mostly far-left) actually defend such behaviour, so yeah government has to explain itself.

    That's one of the reasons why I left France, actually.

  • Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen
  • You don't need it, but your familly do !

    And key point is : what is the most likely place for them to start searching such information?

    In my case, they will never thought about looking for an "emergency page". So laminayed cards mentionned by someone else seems to be a good option

  • Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen
  • I was thinking about such a system also, but it has some serious drawbacks:

    • I need to connect to it regularly. Auto login is of course not an option, that defeat the purpose. So, which service/stuff am I using that could be this switch? I see any.
    • time limit to send the message is also tricky. 2 weeks is too long imo, they may need some info about insurances sooner. And 2 weeks is already short, as you need to authenticate to the switch

    So, as a farewell message why not, but I would not trust such system to deliver in a tilely manner information that they need.

  • Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen
  • Well, if you assume they are able to do copies of files, and in the end they are not, you will not go to heaven because you screwed up your familly.

    Same as stop using the services, they might now even know they are using some @home services that are running in the background.

    But I take the idea about having them making their own copy of files, and write down some instructions ablut what is where, and how do a backup they own.

  • Business Continuity Plan if the worst happen

    Hey everyone,

    I'm struggling at this, and hence looking at your collective wisdom.

    We are all selfhosting here (at least, willing to), so we know that it takes some time and skills.

    But have you envisionned what your familly will do if the worst happen ? (e.g. you die in an accident)

    Can someone take over, or all the setup will slowly fall appart and data be lost?

    In my case, no one will be able to follow up. So all important documents and photos are mapped through nfs to all PC at home, so familly will still be able to access.

    They know that everything important is stored on a NAS (hiwever, not sure they can identify and find it).

    Same for all the passwords, a keepass file that is setup to be access easily and from all PCs. I have the plan to document in there an emergency way for them to secure the data.

    And you, how do you manage that?

    What is your contingency for when the ISP goes down?
  • He has actually a point. You need access to your services for which purposes? As long as you are @home, you have access to your services (but those cannot reach outside). You can still browse your photos and likes.

    If you are out, it's easier to get a copy of what you need on your device (e.g. passwords) than set up a backup internet connection. (IMO, at least)
