  years-long

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help choosing a NAS.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They reversed that policy

  For now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help choosing a NAS.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Careful with the ugreen: I found if you get the cheaper option, you can’t hot-swap a disk anymore. They don’t make that really clear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was changed from left- to right-handed by the Calgary school board in 1979 or so.

  In secondary school my chem teacher would definitely throw chalk if you weren’t paying attention. It’s better than chalk brushes.

  By “trouble”, do you mean the pic (and thumbnail) are broken?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨F.B.I.’s Inquiry Into ICE Shooting Faces Doubts After White House’s Remarks⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen anything linking this guy as the one who killed Sr Villegas-Gonzales as well, as that murderer is currently labeled as unknown. Where’d you get confirmation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"-⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dub dub dub.

  Ha! I was fixated on a science memer who can’t spell “its” ! Nice take.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Foreign tech workers spurn US as if it were a rabid dog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨but like seriously do try it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  maxxing

  This is how they taught you to spell?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand credit scores⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada. No idea of the scores thing, despite being inundated by adverts about it most of my life.

  However, I can’t fathom people who’ve never had a credit card – are you living the life of a monk, still in high school; what?

  It perplexes me because I’ve had a credit card since entering the workforce and, while I’ve used it sparingly, it’s really saved my ass a few times. “Neither a borrower nor a lender be” is just adding challenges to your life you don’t need at a time when you need them least.

  “In front” has a space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True of mine but he more than made up for it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dad worked. One day in the lean years he was on the books for 5 employers at the same time: no overlapping shifts, just a hairy schedule on a paper calendar and more than one job-to-job commute.

  We do not castigate dad for devoting his entire life to the household.

  Mom, who merely had one full-timer, did the shopping and wrapping on the side. The two of them set up a wonderful Christmas day together with very few gifts and resources, and we were all together on Christmas morn before Dad went to work.

  It worked. We didn’t lack for joy.

  Aw jeez, I never noticed that. Ron writes like an actual scholar but he’s got resting bulldog face sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  identity first workflow and is used specifically so that they can route different people to different login [hamster wheels]

  The one thing MADE for JavaScript and no.

  \sigh. Now I know why some people put an S on ‘e-mail’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Management lingo irritates me the most actually⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a difference between “using the proper word that conveys that exact idea” and “fad pidgin”. Hint: “the ask”, “the spend”, “literally” and “emails” are words pushed on us by people with small brains and potentially a used-car sales quota to meet, and not something coming out of proper word use.

  It seems I hate management pidgin that resembles used-car salesman try-hard mimicry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine trying to read that

  Kernel code is very often a series of short words, and very often formatted to take a lot of vertical space (i.e lines of code). It can be hard to read, especially when it’s a short code that corresponds to a longer function or location; but with practice we can cope.

  tho

  See? You’re expecting people to do it already. And kernel code confirms to the grammar a lot more than American 'english.

  This is still not a word, my dude.

  So a guy reads from an outline or script into a YouTube clip we can view (after ads) with a transcript we can then summarize with an LLM so we can replicate the outline or script originally used?

  The downvote and next buttons are, like, right there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold and despair!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everyone remembers to turn off “share my location with Instagram friends”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wireless EV charging hits 90% efficiency in Swiss real-world trials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean we can charge our cars without risking damage or wear-a d-tear to the port? What will this do to the planned obsolescence of the port of we don’t beat it up every day? Will it be pristine like my phone port next to the goddamned headphone jack?
