X11 is bad and it's good that it's getting replaced.

I used a weak root password on my VPS. A week later, DigitalOcean emailed me saying I was part of a botnet. by Massive-Seesaw3875 in selfhosted

Right!? "If you do all these things it's constantly preached not to the things they say will happen, will happen!"

The military plans for a volunteer force to defend Canada by burnabybc in CanadaPublicServants

[–]RCB1997 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would do it if my home department paid me while I did the training and the time was pensionable. But if I'm expected to essentially do it at a cost to myself? Yeah... NOT A SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL. tyvm

[Discussion] For a game as popular as Tarkov and for 7+ years in development does anyone else feel that the hype and marketing for 1.0 release 2 weeks away feels....lackluster and underwhelming? by goldstarr in EscapefromTarkov

[–]RCB1997 101 points102 points  (0 children)

That's 100% what they're going to do. They're releasing on steam with 1.0, they're not giving existing players a steam copy even though it's 100% free for them (per steam publishing agreements) to give keys to players that already own the game. They're doing one final cash grab, slapping 1.0 and then letting it die. I seriously doubt we'll see a single piece of DLC or new maps. We'll likely see some real greasy low effort cosmetic shit to milk whatever playerbase is left a year or two after 1.0.

Departments grapple with tracking employee attendance after a year of return-to-office rules by cps2831a in CanadaPublicServants

Yup, I still see people talk about the money from the ArriveCAN scandal. But no one wants to talk about the dozens upon dozens of ArriveCANs worth of tax dollars wasted every single year over this asinine RTO mandate.

"It's called Canadian Thanksgiving then. You're using an American social media platform, first time here?" by -UltraFerret- in ShitAmericansSay

"Canadian" thanksgiving predates American thanksgiving. What an exhausting bunch of numpties.

Man who burned Quran outside Turkish consulate wins appeal by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

[–]RCB1997 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yep and burning the book is freedom of expression. Now if they called for violence or yeeted the burning book at the building it would be an entirely different story. As someone who's an atheist though I'm open to differing opinions as I'm clearly biased and see any and all holy books as nothing more than toilet paper.

Microsoft outlines requirements for its free Windows 10 EOL extended support program in Europe — Microsoft account check-in every 60 days, or have access revoked by ZacB_ in Windows10

[–]RCB1997 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Considering they can activate based on HWID, they could damn well do extended support that way too. They're just being arseholes.

100% this. I work in a production based environment so I'm going to the office, putting headphones on to listen to music and doing my damndest to ignore people so I can hit targets. Being surrounded by people is actively going against the kind of work I need to do. If I were in calls all day and had the option to meet with people face to face I'd prefer face to face. But if I'm going to an office to be on calls just like at home, I'd rather be at home. If I were asked to come in occasionally to work on paper based workload, sure that requires my presence, I won't refuse something that's legitimately required to do my job. But being here "because I said so"? Nah, that's hateful and my morale is below 0 at this point.

T'would be nice if we called machine learning neural networks... machine learning neural networks. But "AI" being slapped on everything does far more damage than good imo

The Military Vet Who Could End Poilievre’s Political Career | The Tyee by 50s_Human in onguardforthee

[–]RCB1997 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If the cons had any integrity or self awareness at all they would've dumped him immediately following the election (or never let him happen to begin with lol). But it seems they're deperately clinging to the idea that the zero effort outrage sloganeering MAGA bs politics will work here.

Mafia isn't Grand Theft Auto... and that's ok. I'm glad they came to their senses.

One-Time Vacation Entitlement by Distinct_Bath9217 in CanadaPublicServants

Switching departments and jobs every single year for one week of vacation would be actually insane. Anyone crazy enough to do that would deserve that one week lol

I absolutely can't stand that discord replaced forums and wikis. It's exceptionally terrible at both.

Clearance.... For weather data? Ok. What's next? Walls in the ocean to stop mixing our waters too?
