  • Where's the pusbback beyond talk?

    https://operationtotalrecall.ca/

    Someone made a list of all the MLAs who voted in favor of forcing the teachers back. Some are in various processes like they are at the Gathering Signatures point for Demetrios Nicolaides.

    An article on it here:

    In fact Elections Alberta asked for additional funding and the UCP blocked it.

  • Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is still fine.

  • Had a girlfriend from decades ago where her dad started a family owned winery in the Okanagan (though they eventually sold to a larger company, I guess none of the kids wanted to take over?). They would sometimes age and bottle grapes from other vineyards (who didn't have their own equipment) for that vineyard to then sell.

    For all I know there are companies that buy grapes off the market, pay a winery to process, age, and bottle them, and then sell it under a brand name that's basically just outsourcing all the work so they could exist in a small office somewhere.

    Another example on a brewery tour at Big Rock brewing in Calgary, they would bottle for other companies sometimes. At the time our tour guide pointed out a bottling line that was being used for Smirnoff Ice iirc. Or maybe it was Mike's Hard Lemonade? One of those.

  • Yeah I work at MSFT on a completely different team.

    Teams recently asked if I wanted this and I was like.... "sure!"

    Now when I'm in the office and people check my status it tells people my desk location and when I'm WFH or elsewhere it tells people I'm not in the building. I don't get people asking "hey are you in today?"

    A lot of people in this thread are taking the headline literally like it's "are you online or away?". No. This is more of "are you at your desk in the office or working from a different building or from outside the facilities.

  • ARK Survival Ascended (the new version of the game) wrecks my 9800x3d and 5080 on max settings and dlss off. Like I can't get over 30fps if I remember right.

  • spice satellites

    The spice must flow.

  • Is it beta now? I tried alpha 8 or alpha 9 and ran into a lot of issues (3 or 4 independent ones) with my multimonitor setup and eventually just gave up because of the frustration of having to reconfigure all 3 monitors every reboot.

    Bazzite never had a problem, but locked down some dev stuff I wanted to do.

    CachyOS has been solid but every once in a while I will experience one of the multi monitor issues I had on Cosmic Alpha. But I can live with that.

  • Netflix charges me, a single guy, for 4 simultaneous streams if I want 4k. So I shared with my parents.

    Then they had the audacity to stop people from password sharing or to charge even more if you want to share. I set up an automatic email forward so my parents get every sign in related email.

  • Oh yeah that was when they announced you'd get copilot credits or whatever as part of Office 365 and bumped up the price.

  • This is what my friend and I do now.

    Proxmox on bare metal.

    Currently messing around with Talos Linux in a VM.

  • Republicans will promise them back in the form of tax cuts.

    You forgot this part: "... For the rich"

  • Just getting my password manager being able to type text into other windows was a bit of a pain in Wayland in CachyOS. That's a common thing everyone should be using these days.

  • For Microsoft 365 / Office 365.

  • Damn I call it my forever cough but also dealing with post nasal drip from both the first (2023) and second times (Aug 2025) I had covid.

  • I still do. Really should travel there soon before the rates get better for them (worse for me)

  • Has South Park Comcast episode nipple rubbing vibes.

  • Adapt or die?

    The widespread adoption of the CCD killed film cameras. I'm sure there are a small group of film enthusiasts who hate that (in fact I've seen videos of people discussing old film rolls and what still works past it's expiration).

    Why should the electric car be any different?

    If people want to buy them, someone will make them.

    They pollute less (meeting certain mileage requirements over their lifespan), make less noise, require less maintenance (though I recognize replacing a full battery pack is expensive and takes a lot of resources we mine, so more pollution).

    There have been many innovations and improvements since they started to become more mainstream. Further innovation will help reduce pollution from mineables, reduce weight, improve efficiency.
