Can’t see that word and not think of Barrett’s Privateers

That’s 20% heavier. My hands already fall asleep after longer gaming sessions with the Steam Deck.

I felt envy with the screen I was seeing here, but if I can’t even hold the damn thing then what’s the point.

This issue is that nature is going to start with the people who contribute the least to the issue.

If only the people contributing the most could actually feel the pressure.

Evelyn says one protester got into the storytime room in the library and began filming, prompting officers to ask them to leave the event, which was intended for children.

I mean, let them.

They’re looking for some gotcha. Some horrible thing that’s happening at these events, like a strip show or indoctrination.

They’re going to have a video of wholesome storytelling to show their gang of misfits.

I had a headhunter come to me with what they thought was an aggressive offer to pry me away from my current company, but they believed in full office time all the time.

I calculated the commute time + gas + wear and tear into my calculation and it came in under my existing pay.

Went back to him and said unless you’re willing to do much better or move on the remote situation I’d be losing money by taking your offer.

I’ve heard from him a few times since asking if we can discuss it and I always ask, what’s the remote situation? “Oh maybe we can do a couple days a month.” Yea. No. Thanks for the offer, not interested. I recommend your company takes a second look at their office attendance requirements to stay competitive.

I know I’m not the only one as well. And I’m really hoping people start taking the opportunity to stand up to these useless requirements.

I’m anything but a soothsayer, but we’re already seeing remote work become a pretty important factor in people choosing employers, and it seems like most of the larger players in their respective industries are the ones trying to force people back into the office.

I could see this become a huge boom for low-mid tier companies that are able to put in more affordable offer packages but with work from home options attached and pry away talent from the high tier companies.

This could go a long way towards hopefully rebalancing the scales for quite a few things and hopefully reeling in some of these companies who have been able to take so much for so long.

One of my favourite games, along with its sequel.

Just great mechanics and atmosphere. Only complaint I had were there were a touch too short.

At this point, regardless of which company it is, it’s pretty much guaranteed the big grocer chains are acting in bad faith and are at the heart of a lot of economic issues for low and mid-wage Canadians.

I think the answer starts with breaking up vertical monopolies and making sure that acquisition and distribution of goods between stores is competitive and I think it ends with parts of the supply chain becoming crown corporations.

People can sit there and complain about the LCBO ask they want, but the buying power and distribution abilities they have could go a long way for Ontario or Canadians in general for food as well. I’d rather have that savings and money going back into the our pocket then Gaven fricking Weston.

50±1.5% agree doesn’t seem like “support” to me, especially coming from Angus Reid on a conservative issue. This seems like a draw at best.

I didn’t see full results from that article but that’s a really thin platform to base this policy on.

This is the shortcut for Outlook and Thunderbird, could it have been you were using a different mail client before?

Nestle: Pull them immidiately out of all palm oil sourcing and switch to alternative sources. Vow to replenish all lost palm trees affected by palm oil deforestation. Stop all uneithical business practices in 3rd world countries and replace them with practices that prop up those communities including educating the next generations so they aren’t only dependant on the money coming from Nestle. Revisit water sourcing for bottling plants to make sure they aren’t affecting locals or local aquifers. Basically just stop the company from making money hand over fist on the backs of other people’s suffering in every way possible.

Microsoft: Stop all plans of advertising on a paid OS. Stop whatever KPIs are forcing pop ups down everyone’s throats and redesigns every 3 days. In the spirit of WSL2, Open Source. Wherever possible within security limitations open source software. Set the standard. Spend the time to also integrate so much of what the competition has done, especially local OS wise. Focus on user experience rather than KPIs and squeezing more money from users.

Some unheard of Big Oil Consortium or trust or something, whoever BP and Exxon Mobil and all them go to and are directed by: Oil well cleanups. Stop fracking. Transition in to clean/alternative energy. Ocean clean up and rehabilitation. Basically stop being worse than the bad guys from James Bond movies.

On the partner portal tech side of things they force a UI change roughly every 6 months, then have a forced “See what’s new!!” Pop up that WONT GO AWAY every time you log in no matter how many times you click through its bubble chase game across the screen so you can just get to fucking work.

Then for some reason the partner portal oauth or whatever cookies expire wayyyy before the office.com user cookies. So you’ll go to access the portal and be told it’s expired, only to have to close the window and click the partner button again. Not even having to actually reauthenticate.

Why do some preview handlers in file explorer lock the file? Why user logon not more verbose? Or able to be verbose on selected problem machines? Why does Windows driver installer uninstall AMD adrenaline sometimes when it feels like turning itself back on? In place upgrades are a recovery option if the machine is still working, but why not if the machine isn’t booting and as a full recovery option with user and application data intact and only reinstalling OS files like Linux and MacOS? Why are all the built-in troubleshooters so fucking useless, especially with SaRA exists? Printer server on Windows server… WTF? Windows app troubleshooting, especially built in apps, the repair options in settings don’t work 90% of the time. You want people to use your storefront? Make it make sense! Quit. Changing. The. Fucking. Names. Of. Shit. You. Fucks. AzureAD was fine. Entra? Who fucking cares. Does some guy get paid to come up with names there? You want me to come smear shit on the walls and call it art? I’m sure I can convince some egghead of that if this is how you work.

I better stop before I have an aneurysm. I hate Microsoft.

This was a triump. I’m making a note here, huge success.

Well for most of the war Ukraine was supplied with arms on the condition they only be used to defend.

UN/US/UK/UKnowwhoelse didn’t want to poke the nuclear armed bear. And I get it. I really do.

But that can only hold for so long.

I’m glad Ukraine is bringing the war to the Russian citizens feet, and not just the poor who are paying with their young males in the ground in the war, but to the city dwelling people who actually can start to grumble and make a difference if they don’t feel comfortable.

Beeper is great but you have no idea what they’re doing with your data.

This is work, and I still think there’s a niche between the two, with an assembled docker rather than ansible playbook, that is going to be the one that takes off.

100% agree. Unraid’s community applications add-in for docker apps is unmatched by anything else. I’ve looked a bit into Runtipi and it looks like it might be a good answer to that but it doesn’t have the same wide choice yet.

If you’re looking at docker, Unraid is the easiest way to get started.

How many times have we seen popular games removed from Steam because of music licensing issues?

Hell, I had a movie I bought a billion years ago on DVD that I ripped to my machine as part of my digitalization effort, the physical media didn’t make it in my second to last move.

I then decided to move everything to h.265 to shrink my capacity needs and this one was eaten by the transcoder. I went to go BUY it again, can’t find it anywhere. Went to stream? Nowhere.

You telling me I’m gonna trust these rat fucks? No chance.

They’re just here to bleed us dry, the medium is only part that’s negotiable to them.

Because retailers took advantage of inflation to push profits even higher, especially one specific retailer who has a vertical monopoly in the grocery sector, of which they’ve been caught and convicted of using to fix the prices of bread in the past.

They’re still high because food is a staple, a necessity. Competition can’t spin up in several months. And competition certainly can’t compete with this existing farm to grocer system.

These prices are never coming down. They’d keep going higher if people weren’t so angry they were stealing instead.

The best protest is to not shop there.

I know. Sounds stupid.

Farmers stands. Farm to table markets. Farmer’s markets.

Call farms and see if you can place orders. They need larger orders? Start ordering with friends, neighbours, family.

This stuff is grown in our backyard, and we are paying for some guy to buy it to sell to some other guy for a huge mark up so we can pay even more for no reason.

Regina Spektor.

For my money no one can convey as much emotion through their voice as her.

Sara Bareilles

Is incredibly precise. Listening to her voice is like listening to what people are hoping for when they’re autotuning, but she nails it.

It blows my mind that system file checker isn’t just a scheduled task that works during idle time. Same with DISM.
