Wait its a ‘fan theory’ that Mimi is basically the author’s Tyler Durden?

… I thought that was the fundamental premise?

Mimi is going to be some kind of emphatic that you found it!

Best case scenario, HR is setting up fake jobs to make it look like an internal transfer or promotion was actually competetive.

Worst case scenario, they’re just doing it to pad the numbers of ‘how many new positions we’re looking to fill = we are growing rapidly!’ Stupid shsreholders might buy that.

Super duper worst case scenario, its all a data mining operation on the pool of potential employees… the company is so fucked it has to essentially contract itself out to market research firms.

Those are my 3 guesses.

Your particular situation makes #1 seem unlikely… thats waaay too much man hours devoted to interviews, when the company itself is bleeding out employees.

In fact your company’s situation is so fucking bad that I’d lean toward #3.

Which would mean the entire company is now essentially a fake/scam company that mostly exists as an ostensibly legit front for data harvesting, presuming it was at one point an actual company that actually did… something.

I would be entirely unsurprised if it turns out that, through a series of shell companies, LinkedIn is behind this, just cannibalizing its own real asset, its userbase, as they already know its curtains for them.

40% of companies/recruiters freely admit to posting fake job listings.

Entire economy is a rapidly imploding scam.

See this right here is your maybe stealth ‘Mimi is a bit off’ indicator.

She’s wearing a full sized sweater, but also carries around another full size sweater, in her purse, not for a camping trip, but for a presumably routine commute via metro.

How… does that make sense?

… I feel like Agent K shooting only the cut out of the school girl with PhD level books in hand, lol.

Conservatism is still conservatism.

There must be a well defined, stratified, social hierarchy, and this system also must be morality itself.

This is what all conservatives believe and hold most dear… it does not matter that they are often too stupid to consciously realize this about themselves.

Their swollen amygdalas are terrified of uncertainty and the unknown, and a world that doesn’t follow a fairly simple set of rigid, universal rules is essentially an apocalypse to them.

All that has changed in the last ~250 years is that democracy became normalized by way of violent revolts demanding it, or the powers that were acquiesing to reforms and limitations of their own power… so as to avoid a violent revolt.

This allowed capitalism to arise… initially it appeared to, or at least rhetorically presented itself as offering a more democratic approach to conducting an economy… but it has enough fundamental flaws that it guarantees the recreation of a stratified hierarchichal society.

Now, capitalism has fully captured most of the governments and much of the population of the West… and the Western Conservative is a-ok with this: Capitalism offers its own social castes, rules, morality system, and has the coherent power to be able to enforce these.

Democracy is just… a vestigial element of society, to a modern Conservative. Ancient, outmoded, optional. So long as the hierachy exists, and can perpetuate itself, of what use is allowing a potential for disruption?

I think that Victor may not have English as his primary/first language, I am trying to use a simple comparison that is more likely to convey the general, fundamental concepts.

No.

Secure Boot is basically a ‘lock’, on the UEFI.

UEFI - Shim is basically a ‘lockpick’.

UEFI is the first step in your computer booting, turning on.

So, if Secure Boot is supposed to be a ‘lock’, that limits who can access the UEFI … but it turns out that there are many, old, UEFI - Shims, that defeat that ‘lock’… then Secure Boot is not a good ‘lock’.

I don’t mean to be rude but it seems like there might be a bit of language confusion going on here… In English, a ‘shim’ is a kind of crude/simple tool that can be used to break or bypass some actual physical locks.

So ‘UEFI-Shim’ basically means ‘a thing that breaks into your UEFI’.

Secure boot is supposed to be a lock.

Turns out there are 10 year old tricks that bypass that lock.

A lock that cannot deny access to people without proper key… is a bad lock.

I know Bazzite is the deck build for HTPC, and is in testing right now for the next updates.

Eh… not quite sure what exactly you are trying to say, but:

Bazzite has multiple variants, and they have a webpage that points you at the correct one.

https://bazzite.gg/#image-picker

There is also the FAQ:

https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/FAQ/

What Bazzite image do I use?

Bazzite’s website offers a streamlined way of selecting the correct image which will be chosen based on hardware, desktop environment, and to include Steam Gaming Mode if the hardware supports it.

Bazzite offers multiple images, but most images will be following one of these three variants:

Variant 1: Bazzite images that do not have Steam Gaming Mode and receive automatic updates daily with gaming packages pre-installed.

Variant 2: Bazzite images that automatically boot into Steam Gaming Mode (like SteamOS) and are intended for controller-oriented setups.

Variant 3: Bazzite images that are intended for software development.

… anyway, as others have said, there are actually a lot of differences between Bazzite and SteamOS.

Honestly just read all of the FAQ page.

So I skimmed the actual article, not sure if the author said this, but my guess as to why Wayland has a … worse reputation generally in the latency department, than seems to be deserved?

At least for myself, there was a significant period of time where … XWayland was the only way to actually run whatever game, on my system, with/via Wayland.

If this kind of thing was not just myself, and was generally common… well then XWayland = Wayland -> Wayland sucks.

Ah, so they’re losing marketing talent.

I mean sure, but…

What kind of ‘key talents and skills’ are we talking about?

The ability to make the same game, 20 times?

Those ‘talents’ and ‘skills’?

Hello, my name is Marc Parella and I am laughably ignorant of the entirety of human history since roughly 1880.

Yes, I’m trying to be hyperbolically facetious, to illustrate that.

Well holy shit I didn’t know that existed!

Presumably they… don’t have it GUI exposed because they don’t want to give the average user the ability to potentially fully lock up their CPU and totally crash their PC?

I don’t have much to say in detail, other than ‘thank you for the very well worded and thought out response!’

I will have have to chew on this for a while, I think, to fully grasp all of it, hah!

Even worse!

Admitting that I was not always doing the most sensible thing, at all times! That I was actually doing really stupid things, for a long time!

I … I can’t make mistakes… no … reality is wrong!

And you misspelled ‘The’ ;)

In other news, SpaceX stock is currently at…

$136.78, as of time of this comment, after hours trading.

Yep.

Yeah. ‘Flash Crashed’ about $1 Trillion of market cap out of existence today.

…I’m sure that’ll buff right on out, no problem.
