Another Sys Admin confirming that yes, the finance department runs nearly entirely on VBA. They would be lost without it.
I’m here because Lemmy.World keeps going down and Beehaw activity plummeted after defederating from the larger instances.

I know I get annoyed by webp because Telegram processes it as a sticker instead of a normal image. That’s my only gripe with it, but like you said that’s more Telegram than the actual format.
I wouldn’t go that far.
random US city response, probably
Not random. You just described Houston, Texas.
I’ve actually found Bing to be way better than Google for a while now. It’s not even close, idk what Google did to their search engine but it’s pretty frustrating. It’s all ads and irrelevant links.
Yeah, they make their bridges available for self hosting if you want to go that route too! Or you can just use their service if you don’t want to mess with that (aka me lol).
Yeah, Beeper is what I use because I’m lazy. Having everything in one app so just too convenient.
Everything you described is very common in fan fics and why I called it as such. I don’t disagree with your points (most of them), but I do disagree with the severity of the condemnation for those points. I thought it was fine, not stellar, not terrible, it was fine and enjoyable for what it was. A high budget fan fic made by people who respected the lore but wanted to do their own take. Which is what Rankin/Bass and Jackson both did as well. Those are fun too. A huge amount of book fans were livid with Jackson for the changes he made in his adaptation too when the films released. If you think ROP is inaccurate then definitely don’t go back and watch the Rankin/Bass cartoons, you might blow a gasket.
Yeah, I enjoyed my watch of LOTR: ROP. I’m a big Tolkien fan too. I read the trilogy and hobbit once a year and the silmarillion once every three or four (it’s dense af). ROP wasn’t an accurate adaptation, but it’s a fun fan fic that I felt was respectful to original material. Plus it has some awesome visuals and great sound track. There’s definitely things to criticize about it. It’s far from a perfect show, but it’s not bad. I’ll probably do another watch through when the next season gets closer to being released.
WOT though, it hurt my heart…
More power to you I guess, I think our brains just work differently on this subject. I used TweetDelete and nuked my entire account a few months back. I was going to let it just sit there with no activity but then he did another stupid thing (I forget which thing) so I wanted my content completely off the platform.
I’m not leaving, they’ll have to evict me.
But… Why?
It’s not coming back, it never left. We’re seeing them get more aggressive because they know that the newer generation isn’t buying into the ideology as much as previous generations and so their ideals are going to die with them unless they use systemic tools to enforce it.
I still like the idea of forks existing though, more variety is always good (I say, typing this from FF…)
Now I just need Merry to put a hand on my shoulder and tell me “I don’t think they know about fourth once-in-a-lifetime financial crises.”
As a millennial I think this is number three… Maybe four?
I’ve seen a handful switching to Substack as well. I’ve been experimenting with that platform lately and I like the post editor, lots of tools but not overly bloated, it’s pretty good. My only complaint so far has been that a lot of History/Academic Substacks seem to be pushing for the paid tier and so hide a lot of their posts behind a paywall Patreon style. Because of that Mastodon has been my favorite since the Twitter exodus.
Maybe they were denied as a Wikipedia admin? lol
Hell yeah, always love an anti-doomer meme.
It’s someone somewhere deciding what I can or can’t see on a remote host they have no control over.
I mean, they do have control over it in a sense. They can defederate from it so it’s no longer on their instance, which they did. You can still access the community from other instances though, like you’re doing now, so it’s not really a big deal. This is how federation is meant to function. People running their instances by their own rules.
I agree though, their rationale for defederation from this community does not add up for me either. But at the end of the day they can be as irrational as they want with their instance.
We’re already there, I don’t see VBA being phased out of accounting or finance for at least a decade and I’m not even sure then.
