Haha! Now if only the point of work was to make you happy! If research showed it made your boss wealthier then everyone would be WFH tomorrow!

When reddit announced that they were going public I knew the end was nigh. Money corrupts everything. What made reddit cool was the users and reddit just wanted to suck that dry. I was happy to leave but I pretty much just lurked on Reddit so it wasn't that hard.

Once Reddit announced they were going public I knew it was over. Money corrupts everything. I definitely spent (wasted) a lot of time on RIF.

Hadn't heard of that before. Thanks for the reference.

Canada would then be more US than Canadian at that point. US + Canada should keep United States of America name. The question is then what to call the other country. Kingdom of Christ? The 1950s?

Flip-flopping on states rights is conservative bread and butter. When conservatives control the federal government there is no such thing as state rights and when they don't it's federal overreach. This endless news cycle with these talking heads ceaselessly babbling is normalizing that words don't actually matter. Politicians will say the exact opposite thing with equal conviction.

Yes, I heard that but I think that there is almost always somewhere to move. My guess is that the police thought she didn't make that effort. Probably the police didn't make it very clear what they wanted before the escalated.

 

I've been a Linux user for almost 30 years but never had to tinker with any software to solve a problem. Cue a Fedora upgrade to somewhere around 38. I've been using the multiseat feature for years. It's alway seemed very fragile. With this upgrade it was seriously broken. I managed to find a patch someone made that for some reason wasn't accepted into the gnome-shell package. I was able to grab the patch, rebuild the RPM package and install the update to my system and restore multiseat. It was actually pretty effortless. The hardest part by far was finding the fix. Now updating to Fedora 41 I had to do the same process again. Apparently the problem still exists. This time I had to create a new patch as the original one wouldn't apply anymore but that wasn't very hard. It was very satisfying to be able to fix that problem and it was only possible due to the OSS community.

The older I get the more I favor unions because they seem to support the idea of seniority. However, assigning benefits based on seniority doesn't seem like a very effective solution for a well functioning system. Gotta hand it to the Republicans. They ran with a crazy ass fucking disrupter and it's worked for them. Wish the democrats had the balls to roll with Bernie 9 years ago.

You have to take into account that at least 30% of the total are likely "Trump is sent by God and is devinely inspired and therefore can do no wrong" crowd. So when his disapproval number hits 70% that's as high as it'll go.
