You know how adults who don't have children talk to children? And there are no children in the room? Ok.

Comma splice here, comma splice there.

How has Polievre not tried to capitalize on this tragedy to pitch his "your bank is a better death panel than the transplant math" plan yet? American healthcare is half his platform!

  1. conservatives hate things the poors can get value from
  2. they decided canada post was a business that had to turn a profit, like the Americans did
  3. now the books have to balance, because that's how governments fund things with no taxes is by increased user fees so they're more dramatically impacted by the ebb and flow of spending and thus die.
  4. then the cons like PP get to laugh into their quiches at the struggles of the poors

they HAD a parcel-only service. They separated it. Hello PUROLATOR, the least effective courier service on the planet. They can't find my 31-story building while they're standing 100ft from it. Like, LOOK UP, IDIOT. And so I have to go to the airport almost, to get my package, if they haven't just thrown it into the ditch and cursed at it in French or something. "Alors, avez ca trou-d'eau la-bas, putain!" or so.

assume that productivity is a feature of an individual and not a feature of a team. That’s a wrong assumption. The fairest way to pay is same salary for the whole team.

So much of what we do produces nothing, but prevents a lot. There is definitely a reason to pay for experience and seniority: it's not so much about creating widgets faster but more about not making short-sighted decisions. And in dev work, we have a high chance of making bad decisions as we're second-generation lost-boys.

Having said that, those individuals are out there for whom compensation starts competitive and ends just short of their value. It's eye-opening to meet and talk with these people and, once you do, it will change your life having them in it.

If I need systemd for a specific use, like testing systemd services

So you're hoping to test systemd in this theoretical test environment, but your prod isn't built like this? Tell us why you're ignoring the first rule of testing and deploying internal software?

Instead I now run “terribly slow” OpenRC on my systems.

I suspect you're entirely free of init problems where you raise your fists to the heavens and ask WHAT ARE YOU DOING as if it'll tell you why systemd is on holiday now.

My understanding is that it boots faster.

I tested this with EL6 and EL7. There was no discernible difference. It was all theories and brochureware.

Not compulsory -- you just get a nice tax credit. Pick a number, but that's my best idea.

Doesn't run on my OS.

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

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 it's "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.
