I just write my name like I usually write it?

It’s very rare for me to sign anything anyways.

lud ,

Try Google lens. It can read it somehow.

lud ,

Yeah, but badly print because I have terrible handwriting.

A signature can be whatever the fuck you want.

It can be a drawing of a pony if you so desire.

Also is it still possible to sign when doing a card purchase where you live? I have never seen anyone ever do that and some stores explicitly disallow it.

Isn’t your (and everyone else’s) address public information anyways in your country?

Here you can search for whoever and find their full name, address, and a bunch for information. If you pay a small sum to a company (or call the tax agency yourself for free, but that’s annoying) you can also find out how much money someone is earning.

Almost every phone number is also available and searchable online.

All this information is also available if you for example know the car plate number of someone’s car.

In the Nordics.

Edit: why did someone downvote me, lol?

Do they think I am lying or what‽

You should absolutly not pirate in an enterprise environment. Leave your pirate hat at home. Remember that it’s bossman’s money.

lud ,

You commented in sysadmin so I assumed you were talking about work.

I don’t know about the others but proxmox uses KVM.

WTF

I got no paywall ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, here’s Wonderwall:

CEOs will finally admit next year that return-to-office mandates didn’t move the productivity needle, future of work experts predict BYJane Thier December 26, 2023 at 2:30 PM GMT+1 Young woman using a laptop on a couch in the living room 2024 might be the year flex work finally wins out, experts predict. vorDa - Getty Images

Happy holidays, remote workers. In software firm Scoop’s 2024 Flex Report, which includes flexible work predictions from an array of industry experts, one idea bubbled to prominence: CEOs might finally give up the effort on making mandated in-office days happen.

“By the end of 2024, executives will be forced to admit their RTO mandates did not improve productivity,” read the top-line prediction from Annie Dean, longtime flexible-work evangelist and head of Team Anywhere at software firm Atlassian. Related Video Video Poster

For years now, experts like Dean have said flexibility is key, and employees have made that priority clear on their own terms, too—often with their feet. So why do so many bosses nonetheless hold out?

“There are two camps on RTO mandates: small companies and large companies,” Robert Sadow, Scoop’s CEO and cofounder, tells Fortune. Small companies, those with under 500 employees, “overwhelmingly” let workers choose whether or not to go in. It’s the bigger companies, especially those with over 25,000 employees, that tend to set mandates.

Dean went on to cite a recent Atlassian survey of Fortune 500 executives, which concluded that low productivity is expected to be a prime challenge for most of them in the coming year—as it’s been in years past. That’s despite the fact that nearly all (91%) of the leaders surveyed currently mandate some amount of in-office presence per week.

“It seems like many already know that these mandates aren’t the answer,” Dean commented. “Only one in three executives with an in-office mandate are convinced that their in-office policies have had a positive effect on productivity.” Rather than where work happens being of significance next year, how work gets done will become the “key cultural touchpoint.”

Dean has held this line for over a decade, even before the pandemic forced everyone to be a remote-work proponent, if only temporarily. Another leader featured in the report, Cara Allamano, who heads up people operations at management software firm Lattice—which, like Atlassian, is remote-first—agreed with her.

Return-to-office mandates will not provide a “quick fix” to productivity and engagement issues, Allamano wrote, despite how badly bosses want that to be true. Amid continued uncertainty in the larger economy and workforce, she added, company leaders will remain focused on productivity and performance next year. To that end, many bosses will, as they did in 2023, continue to default to dragging employees back into the office to “solve” what they see as engagement problems.

It will be a wasted effort. “RTO will not solve challenges in engagement,” Allamano wrote plainly. Instead, companies should extend that effort diving deep into their business needs, evaluating their overall approach to gauging performance and engagement, and then come to an agreement on the strategies that will align those two. Their RTO policy, she advised, “should follow from there.”

Innovative organizations are defined by how their people work—and what, if anything, keeps them from succeeding. Dean posited that efficient processes, leaders who are willing to disrupt the norms with new tools and AI, and well-run meetings will define companies instead. Leaders who actively seek out more effective tech will undoubtedly attract and retain the best talent. Any other way will be a nonstarter. Who needs an office anyway?

As in Dean’s prediction, Allamano said the real draw for workers will be companies who clearly prioritize flexibility wherever it’s possible. “Organizations with best-in-class management practices, led by HR teams who have centered their programs around what’s best for the business and managed toward that, will be able to navigate flexible work changes just fine,” she said.

She also noted that a recent Lattice report found that nearly half (48%) of employees said they’d consider quitting an otherwise great job if it doesn’t offer a satisfying flexible-work policy. That dovetails with recent FlexJobs data finding that most workers would even take a pay cut for a remote job.

For his part, Sadow doesn’t expect mandates to totally disappear among those big, insistently pro-office companies in 2024. Rather, he anticipates that they’ll give workers more flexibility on how to implement mandates. That may mean shifting away from requiring specific days or weeks to be in-person in favor of outlining a minimum amount of in-person time that each team can decide how to use for themselves (which experts say is the best approach to hybrid plans anyway).

“It’s like bumpers on a bowling lane,” Sadow says. “Big companies may set bumpers, but they’ll let teams decide where they want to deliver the ball.”

Here’s hoping everyone bowls a spare in 2024.

I mean, it’s a baby so it’s quite likely it just took a dump

E-mail client alternatives to Outlook (Windows and Android)

Ever since I’ve came to the company as a sole Sys admin (where there was none before) I’ve tried to keep it simple as possible… everyone has MS Office Home&Business, I’ll move everyone to Outlook from the damn Windows Live Mail… and sure thing, I’ll also install Outlook on their phones whoever wants to have Email...

Yeah, I think the rebranding is supposed to happen in December and they will start work on an iOS version next year.

Where do you live? I live pretty far up and I get 6 hours of daylight in December.

“pro-vax”? Isn’t that the bare minimum?

People always say it’s about metal problems and not guns. And that might be true, but will you Americans ever try and fix that? Maybe by reducing healthcare prices or something.

So far it seems like the answer is: No, we won’t do anything about it.

At very least it makes sense to force parents to keep their guns locked away from their children and everyone else.

No-one under 18 should ever be allowed non supervised access to weapons and everyone over should have to take a mandatory safety and usage course and of course a comprehensive background check.

Does graphic novelization mean it’s graphic as in nsfw?

As far as I understand it, no.
