Just saw the thumbnail from your instance, talk about bad taste. Edit: the programming.dev post is still showing up with the old thumbnail for me on fedia.io

Nah it was actually funny. Americans are hyper-sensitive when it comes to 9/11 but not the hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths your government has caused in the subsequent "war on terror".

European here and I still find it distasteful and unnecessary for a release announcement post. Since you've mentioned you'd like to mod [email protected], I hope you won't be considered to mod this community.

I don't think many people would find jokes about any mass murder in good taste.

I think you'll find most people dislike people getting murdered in general.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The #7955 bug report is over the S-Hoai Windows client displaying an application exception when clicking the "File" or "Projects" menu.

S-Hoai is a Windows application used in Germany by architects and building engineers/contractors for managing estimates and billing according to German laws.

This S-Hoai "Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure" software on at least older versions has been borked running under Wine with little activity in the bug report over the years.

But now in Wine Staging 9.11 is an OLEDB32 patch where mode can have multiple values as a string.

That will hopefully take care of the issue for S-Hoai and any other similar Windows software.

Separately, Wine Staging 9.11 carries an ODBCCP32 patch to correct the look-up of DSN before writing to registry.
