@jwz it is extremely on brand that improving performance is deprecated.

@lumiworx nathan4hotdogs, surely?

@hacks4pancakes

Every single step of the experience trying to start using Odoo feels like they started with the premise, "what if we attempted to create the platonic ideal of a bait-and-switch scheme?" I strongly do not recommend.
@fesshole to be fair, it does kinda sound like he was in a food competition with you.
@davidgerard ba dum, tish!
@mytwobits01 I thought that's what ps (1) did. Doesn't that stand for "personal space"?

Did you know that dice are psychic? They can read your mind, and will roll to display the number you were thinking. You just need to think about a number between one and six *really* hard, while you're rolling the die. Ignore those times that the die shows a different number; they're just times you weren't thinking about the number hard enough.

"It's like having a reference librarian!"

My Brother in Taxonomy, it is the farthest thing from that.

A reference librarian is a person with feelings, motivations and ethics, who has a goal of helping you find the answer to your question.

The chatbot is a clockwork mechanism that extrudes text optimized to make you *think* your question has been answered.

It is also a machine built by fascists with the goal of creating a dependent, de-skilled, submissive populace and ending Democracy. HTH.

You know that thing coders do when they take over a project, where they say everything's terrible and needs to be rebuilt? Turns out accountants do *exactly* the same thing. "This is all wrong, I can't work with this, the chart of accounts needs to be completely different."
I don't think I'd want to be reserve bank governor (our equivalent of the fed chair) for any money. You get one lever, of questionable effectiveness, and massive unpopularity. Meanwhile the government's sticking to the politically expedient, knowing that no matter how useless they are, you'll be there to pull their macadamias from the campfire. #auspol
