Man. I hope they don’t suck like in win 10/11. They’re kinda crunchy in windows.

Still hosting gitlab.

The CI on forgejo is, unfortunately, nowhere near as good.

Given how long gitlab has been struggling to fix basic bugs and instead creeping into features - hello-oo bloated and slow vscode-like web editor and non-ephemeral runner management - I’m not sure they have any staff left to let go. But it’s nice they found an excuse to shed their remaining talent and avoid complete stock devaluation.

The planning is happening openly, including a voluntary separation window.

“We don’t understand how the Dead Sea Effect works, and we want to super-size the damage.”. Okay. Bill.

This should be a note on the sidebar of all ask-* subs.

I’ve never seen that. And I practically survived on sausMcNoEggs.

How can hash browns be us$3.50 ? If this isn’t a south park joke (nice) then I’m aghast that a c75¢ item is suddenly so pricy.

I don’t really understand the point?

Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.

Shaame!

Well, we get to slam it and heckle its users, because, well, we need SOME joy in The world…

To kids, anyone with 15 years in is “old”.

Guess what they called us when we pointed out the procedural failures in its design? Yep: old.

Meanwhile I’m just here booting my sysV box reliably and not cringing about HUPping dbus. I’ve never seen as frail a shit bag as a Systemd-afflicted install.

‘new standards’ vs ‘dunning-kruger-based decisions you are locked into’. Sure.

Systemd ‘haters’ are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.

Systemd ‘haters’ are no more haters than your parents who told you not to eat candy all day were candy haters.

Tell me you used Office Lens for a decade without using those words.

No. Any frustration like this only serves to push all employees a bit.

And the Dead Sea Effect reminds us that the people who leave first will be those who get jobs elsewhere first. These are the most employable, and thus the most capable, and thus probably your best employees.

RTO and other stupid patterns won’t push out the most desperate; they’ll push out the most valuable. And then the most valuable of what’s left. And so on.

Managers who choose pride over effectiveness need to be unemployed.

Let me know how the class action goes.

Wow. I had to stop reading this one. Long on words, poor on writing and spelling and neither circling a theme so much as just edgelording on everything social, I’m not sure whether it was ever getting somewhere.

But life’s too short for 6000 words on The Things That Suck With Stuff I Don’t Use.

minimal acceptable set of politics.

I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.

No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.

I think mass nouns do not work like that.

Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.

Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.

Slopping.

What is the cause of the outrage? You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him

You seriously see no difference between store cameras recording for liability and some rando recording for lul$? The night-and-day difference between what a person agrees to with a store while shopping inside it and what is thrust on them by a rando with no regs on retention and security, is the absolute same to you? Really?

Really?
