Some WoW, some Zero-K.

Good luck with your move! We moved, one year, from Vancouver to Ottawa, and for 6 weeks the movers had No Idea where the truck was. It was so stressful!

It's funny that our college-like businesses are crutching on foreign students to stay afloat; and if they dry up a bit, people are pissed that they have to find a new way to keep education running as a for-profit business without the understanding that running as such is wrong.

Tax the rich. Run the schools. Go find a Viking nation and ask them how they managed since forever.

The last one, with Maria Bello, had a different tone to it. I hope, when they go back to the old cast, they can recapture a similar feel.

People who keep their kids inside but let their pets play in traffic are psychopaths.

I know what I said.

Yep. But owncloud went from old and idle to active again. It seems to be a more LTS take on it where NextCloud is your All Features Faster mandate.

Just show me the one that doesn't rely on containers, venvs, npm or other supply-chain risks.

I hate that this idea you should cast your vote after a positive ID is a bad idea just because the country doesn't issue ID cards for people who don't have a driver license.

I hate that I agree with someone like trump - broken watches - about confirmed ID for voters, and that the happiest countries also agree that ID is required to vote.

It's weird that somehow carrying a driver license or health card (gov issued with picture) is somehow an insurmountable obstacle.

But I get the opposition. We'd have to talk about the racism and classism that keeps people from voting otherwise, I guess.

Yep, two reasons I'm out.

I think even a Starbucks sugar bomb sundae thing isn't $12 in Canada.

Carmel

Isn't that where Clint Eastwood was mayor?

The last month or so haven't been good for Mark's electability. He should really lay low a bit until the attack ad potential dies down. I'd hate to see more morons choosing Milhouse.

(I haven't seen a good explanation of why we needed to increase the public sector by 20% since then, nor of what we got out of that. If you have anything, I'd love to read it!)

Here's an easy explanation: we didn't have enough.

Wait times are no fun, right? Need more people to process the things, or you need to remove some of the regulatory steps involved. Both those, the doing of the work and the fruitless "just make it faster" boondoggles, need meatbags to do the doing.

You now how we can tell we didn't have enough? WAIT TIMES. When it's zero, you may have too many staff. When it's a day, you're probably just right. Show me a wait time report and I'll show you 12 months in processing delays that we should have avoided by grabbing an intelligent peon and making them do some things of the things that need doing -- because processing delays and wait times are absolutely the shits right now.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
