neo-nazi’s

I love it when ‘journalists’ can’t use basic pluralization.

My union uses our personal email addresses for broadcast info, and won the right to use the employer’s video comms for meetings.

My day job is unionized 100%-remote IT in the unionized arm of a cruel global company, contracting to an organization so massive that it used to have the largest single-owner intranet in the world (so it’s not a mom-and-pop).

Other Work from Home-Office points:

• generally not a ‘work from starbucks’ gig, as we do some ‘private possum’ stuff, but there’s occasional flexibilty to request working from grandma’s spare room - or a campsite with a gennie and a starlink! - and it was successful.
• our worksite must be approved by regional work standards, so it’s usually an office and a desk and not a couch or counter.
• we’ve ‘won’ the right to not be on camera - I’ve seen my boss twice in 3 years and not seen the rest.
• days-off and evenings are generally sacred, but if we hear of disasters we anticipate a call.
• work-weeks are 35- or 40 hours, on the employee’s choice, with the choice for a ‘9x9’ (or 9x8) schedule for an extra day of rest with no pay loss
• pay is 1% higher than (union) people working for the place we’re contracted to but union’s always a little less than dot-coms.
• we do have a damoclean-sword ‘RTO’ clause, but they have to call us all back, they have no desks anymore, and they know we’ll strike over constructive dismissal

It’s generally a great job where people don’t bail - openings are created generally through retirement - and my peers have all worked there 20+ years; if they’re not filling vacancies from advancement or retirees.

8Gb of ddr4 is $25

Ha! My 32g was $600, so 6x that.

It’s downvotes either way.

I like “Y days? How are you doing it so it takes less than X?”

There’s an entire round table of less common names.

Especially. Please tell me if wow voice chat works now under Experimental. It’s been hinky.

Container-free yet? #slsa.dev

I miss HDDVDs. Their better error correction will be missed more, soon, as this stuff degrades a bit.

Your kids’ school bus

Look at this journalist, thinking anyone with kids can afford to have more than one.

initially a reminder to keep one’s balance on the frozen lake.

Right? I saw the gladiator movie, and I saw the DaVinciCode movie. It’s just people in fucking Rome, running and fighting. These people have names, and fucking hair, and ears too. They’re the same movie. Such cheese.

1. Factorio

I’ve never played it. We’ve agreed I’ll never start. We’re sure it will hook me like crack to a junkie. So all I need is this one, and I figure I’ll die of thirst.

2. Zero-k i can’t stop
3. World of warcraft, classic, before cataclysm. Buy some arrows and bribe a lock for a summons.
4. Can I decide Linux is a game? But EL6 or EL5 before Lennart wrecked it.
5. Warcraft III original
6. Total annihilation with all DLC and balance updates

I cant think of any more.

outside of the ask

More outside of the question.

It’s what we call the things Yanks and North Koreans use to measure weight since ‘ton’ is assumed to be a metric ton for the rest of the world.

(Yes, I’ve seen the Canadian weights and measures flowchart but this is still a funny jab)

• Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) and a single, standardized Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process, built on confidentiality-first principles and industry-standard tooling.

Soo XKCD 927?

reams of fresh inputs.

Thank your “journalists” who “graduated high school” for their interesting take on mass nouns.

At least until TACO Tuesday…

So, like 95% of us?
