  • This riding is deep in rural Alberta. They'll be happy to get the attention

  • This is the most relatable meme I've ever seen

  • Ubuntu server is okay, but I've come to really appreciate a minimal, stable Debian install instead.

  • This is Microsoft Licensing in a nutshell.

    I have a tinfoil hat theory that they keep it complicated on purpose to add value to 365 certifications

  • I work in an office as a network administrator. Largely my day to day is a meeting every morning to go over what everyone is doing for the day, then looking through and responding to all the alerts that came up from all the servers I manage(things like failing backups, unexpected reboots, stopped services, strange login behavior, etc)

    Then, if I still have time in the day, I put time towards some of the long term projects I have which largely consists of finding things that can be automated and scripting up solutions to that

  • I tend to just take the defaults when I'm deploying. I wouldn't get any benefit of having home or tmp on a separate partition, but it's nice that it's an option.

  • This is probably the best choice. There is basically no failure state, so there is no impetus to act under pressure, which is probably the biggest demotivator if someone is at that stage of learning how to play video games.

  • Minecraft is pretty mechanically complex if you're at the "need to learn how to move in a video game" stage

  • I live in a small town and even I had to wait about 15 minutes in line.

    Last election, I was the only one there outside of the volunteers and was in and out in about a minute. I want to think this is a good thing and we'll see massive voter turnout

  • Yeah, that tracks for Canadian politics as a whole.

    Conservatives and Liberals haven't really changed their tune and are both running essentially the same platforms they were in the mid-2000s. The NDP is headed by someone who got into politics to really try and change things for the better, and get outplayed every time by the establishment. And the Bloc really only cares about the culture of Quebec, which makes them a non-candidate for anyone far away from Quebec

  • Lobbyists as they exist now? Definitely.

    The original concept for them is an important thing to have in a democratic system. You can't expect politicians to be intimately familiar with the ins and outs of every industry, which leads to ineffective regulation. It makes sense to have a person whose job it is to translate the needs of the industry to the politicians.

    The problems come when that person has an incentive and a sizable budget to twist policy to the advantage of shareholders rather than consumers or workers.

  • Time to restore a whole machine backup to a VM with no network connectivity, and manually pull the command?

  • I'm not surprised. I'm disappointed, but not surprised

  • This sucks, but I can understand both sides here.

    Canada has strangely high standards when it comes to food regulations. Especially in restaurants. And lowering those could result in an influx of low quality processed foods entering the market.

    On the other hand, the reason it's failing to meet the standard is that it has added vitamin B which feels a bit absurd since those additions are allowed in other products here.

    I hope this gets resolved in a way that lets this dude keep selling Vegemite at his shop.

  • on my last thread somebody wrote that unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments

    How do I stop having expectations?

    This is almost certainly not what they meant. You can't expect someone to read your mind and solve problems you might have.

    If management is not meeting your expectations, then the answer is to have a conversation with them about it(ie: make them spoken expectations), not to remove them altogether.

  • NSFW

    A FATAL Mistake

  • Would be hell to play, though, there's definitely better horny RPGs to try

    My issue with horny RPGs is that if you can find people to play with that are into whatever kink the book is catering to, why would you bother to play at all? Just have sex.

    And on the flipside, if you dont want to have sex with the people you're playing with, why play the sexy game? Just play a regular RPG

  • It's not fear of the freedom, it's choice paralysis. People want to go to one website, sign up for one account and then be part of a network with absolutely zero research beforehand. I like the fediverse, but the barrier to entry is higher than that because it first requires you to understand the technology at a base level.

    Internet services getting shitty and then dying is nothing new. Look at MySpace, Digg, or any BBS. people just abandon the old one and join the new popular one. They'll leave when it gets shitty enough and join the new thing

  • I'm sure that no one would ever think to abuse this. The conservative government has always been strictly honest, right?

  • Things are weird out here. People by and large don't really like what Smith is doing, but they elected her to fight Trudeau, not help Alberta.

    For some reason, they can't see that we can't just keep going to the oilsands for infinite money. I thought things were finally getting better when we elected the NDP that one time, but it turns out that unless you can fix Alberta's substantial problems overnight, convincing the Conservative voter base that you aren't the second coming of Stalin is impossible.
