As a side note: The joke also gives a hint WHY "babe" may not be responding

@libreoffice

In Safe Mode it does not save at all. If I hit cmd+S I get about 20 seconds beachball and then NOTHING - no safe dialog, Libre Office acts a nothing had happened.

Interesting_ I can not even save a file in Safe Mode... LOL

Currently running still macOS 10.15 Intel on my main work machine, but had the same effect on other macOS machines.

@libreoffice

First safe: You create a document and want to safe it or the first time. That causes LibreOffice (on my machines) to beachball for up to 2 minutes. Saving changes to existing files work fine. This problem is existing since the last 3-4 versions or so.

Boot time: Yes, startup time. Time untill you can actually start to write is quote long with up 40 seconds.

This problem exists like forever. I do not consider it as a bug - still: even MSWD is way faster.

@libreoffice Wait time on first safe and long boot time fixed?

@NeonPurpleStar
In Otterwa yes.

(har har har)

@NeonPurpleStar

above the ß

LOL

@NeonPurpleStar yes! Those are the worst!

@NeonPurpleStar
Time to pause in this hectic world for a moment, contemplating how your life has gone so far.

@NeonPurpleStar @mametsuko
Was for a friend - she had no money after a divorce and needed something to work with. I still had an ancient black carbon MacBook from 2006 lying around. Upgraded it to 2GB and 128 SDD. Last OS: Snow Leopard. Too old.
Wanted to install Jolnir or Horus. But Mac did not boot - problems with finding EFI Partition. Hera installer did work tough. Then MANUAL edit /apt/sources.list to upgrade to Jolnir (focal) as Elementar OS strangely provides no official upgrade path.

@NeonPurpleStar @mametsuko

I installed elementary OS on a MacBook.

(Which was unfortunately NOT easy!)

@georgetakei They are in the single-socks-universe now.

I'm afraid I have to disagree here as well.

This is one of those common images that may have been true in places 5-6 years ago.

I was working in IT.
5 years ago we could find experts, often we had to decide whether we want to meet their expectations.
In the last 4-3 years it was not about payment or conditions anymore. It was only about just getting applicants. ANY applicants. We lowered our requirements and trained the people on the job (which is more expensive btw).

@kaia Many like the post because it offers a simple explanation to a complex problem and presents a culprit (or enemy even): "the companies".

That is dangerous in my opinion, because the topic is related to immigration: With the retirement of the boomer generation, there is a lack of workforces in many areas: we have just not enough people.

That can probably only be filled by immigrants.

Arguments that this is not the case but only about money play into the hands of xenophobes such as AfD.

@kaia
Well ... No.

(Payment is of course often an issue. But in many areas it is about the fact that there are e.g. 30 open positions and 5 suitable candidates. With payment and conditions you can regulate WHO gets the candidates, but not that all positions are filled. All in all "Fachkräftemangel" is not a subject area that lends itself well to blanket generalizations.)
