- Comment on Why is lemmy so political?! 1 week ago:
Calling people an ignorant, selfish asshole is really going to help see the light and day of why politics are important and/or make them see why your opinions are good.

At least where I am from we do get fractions in school.
Most people here will say “een derde” aka a 3rd, but it is mostly not used as a precise measurement or anything. Something like 3/7th is rarely used andd we would say 42,9%. In cases where the differences that create are relevant we would communicate it on paper or digitally where iirc we would still use percentages or decimals. Then again I am an accountant and not a technical analysist or anything. For me the difference between 42,9% and 42,85714 will mean a couple thousand at most.
Doesn’t imperial metrics also use frations from time to time? Metric doesn’t do that, but we have things like nanometers etc.

It’s not about accuracy especially not when TALKING to somebody. I work with numbers for a living and nobody is as obsessed with fractions than people on Reddit and Lemmy, it’s crazy and I have clients where the difference between 33,33% and 33% can be thousdands of euro’s.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 weeks ago:
In 99/100 of the situations people do not care about you saying 33% instead of 1/3 or 33,3333333333% or 33,33…%

Near me they introduced an old school cash register with somebody behind it. It is known as the talking cash register lol
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 weeks ago:
Or just say 33%?

Duck Duck Go was never really good at showing results in my experience. Currently using Ecosia and switching between the Googl and Bing index. I hope they get their own index soon

Not really related, but where did this whole workout trend come from? What is the issue with traditional sports?
- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 5 weeks ago:
Why 16? why not 14 or 18 if you are that kind of a dick. Like I understand that some people ask their childeren to pay rent once they get a fulltime job. Heck I have heard of parents who didn’t need to money from their kids so they put it in a savings account in the kdis name and gave it to them when they needed to buy a house). I also know somebody who was 10k short of buying an appartement, he had to pay rent to help his parents stay afloat.

I tried a couple versions of Excel, but I was unable to get it to work sadly.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 month ago:
It has been a bit since I tried it, but things like not having the buttons in the same place is annoying when teacher others. PowerQuery and Microsoft Scripts (what replaced VBA) are some things will probably be missing
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 month ago:
I prefer the desktop app, but things like powerquery won’t work to its fullest online
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 month ago:
I tried to download Microsoft Office on Linux Mint and I couldn’t even download the exe (to run through wine), I needed to go to Windows to download it … now I just need to make it work (I am in the 1% of people who actually need official Excel)

One of the reason why I advice people to switch to Ecosia or DuckDuckGo
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 2 months ago:
I tried ot login last week, was able to with the same email and password but it acted like I was a new user. So it created an entirely new account.
On a session I was still logged in I changed my email and password and I ended getting banned on that account.
Really weird and I gues it’s time to delete my main Reddit account

Council housing? You mean social security houses that get supplied to you if you earn almoat nothing?
The Netherlands has that to this day, but that doesn’t solve the issue
- Comment on Three years later, the Steam Deck has dominated handheld PC gaming 3 months ago:
The main issue with Excel is that it is not multithreading in all operations. But for a lot of things it is the only software that can fit the bill.
Libre office feels a lot worse in to work in up to 8 hours a day compared to Excel and it is probably still missing some features like powerquery among others. I do need to test it again, it has been a while.
Then again I work as accountant so I am probably in minority of Excel users.

Been there done that
And the worst part is? My job description doesn’t even include phone support. I am just the guy who is handy with computers! (I do get compensation for it, don’t you worry)

In The Nederlands people bike to school, which can be a bike ride of more than an hour away.
A raincote is not enough, but a rainsuit will do the job.
My issue with biking to work is the sweat …
