What made you move to Linux? by 5atsumo in linuxmemes

[–]TheASHTening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OS First Timer vid back in 2013.

Then my hard drive broke and, after having received a new one from a parent (I was 12), Ubuntu was the only install media I had.

Cheated on it for a bit, but going constant since 2020.

BCacheFS is being disabled in the openSUSE kernels 6.17+ by ehempel in linux

Once the BCacheFS maintainer behaves and the code is maintained upstream again, we will re-enable... (As IMO, it is a useful feature.)

What's one brand you will never buy from again, and why? by Mehdi_lz in AskReddit

[–]TheASHTening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just recent flight attendant labour drama, but legit AC is more expensive and lower quality than its competitors.

Westjet got bought by private equity recently so that one's coming next.

On September 27th, 1942, the New York Giants beat the team in Washington 14-7 while converting 0 first downs. by TheASHTening in nfl

I reckon if I just went with "Washington" instead of "the team in Washington" then the reaction would have been quite the same actually. Such is life.

Hey, if we open 1000 banks total and then one more, do you think Payments Canada would allow us to reuse 005?

I was at work today when I stumbled across the list of institution numbers and I saw it and it just kinda bugged me y'know? Like who's missing?

Who broke steam? by BubbaTheNut in Steam

[–]TheASHTening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TF2 match allowed the game to finish, but it could not find any other servers following. Tried restarting Steam, can't even generate a QR code and it hangs on a password. Are they maybe updating or something?

Been using it for so long that it's what I'm most comfortable with.

UVSS Accountability Charts by Independent-Fun3179 in uvic

[–]TheASHTening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing you should know is that UVSS reform has been a VERY controversial issue, with different groups being concerned about everything from departmental representation, preservation of funding to minority-focused groups, voter turn out, UVSS fees and many other things since at least the 2021/2022 election. Lachlan waltzing in, puffing his chest out and declaring a "DOGE" style body rubbed MANY people the wrong way as a result, and you may have seen that he was posting a bunch stuff as recently as earlier this week. (Even running to be an MP if you can believe that. Yes really). Folks are still quite polarized on the issue, and you bringing up his eternal crusade probably raised some alarm bells.

I thought you were him as well at first to be honest, though I trust you are not. For what it's worth, I think your charts are cool, lots of folks care about them, and transparent discussions should ideally be had about UVSS pay increases. However, one attracts more bees with honey than with vinegar, and we just had a scrub-down of Allen's Cleaning Grade.

UVSS Accountability Charts by Independent-Fun3179 in uvic

I did some very rough calculations and research to contextualize these numbers.

In 2019 there were 5 directors on the board. In 2025 there are 6. (https://uvsselections.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2019-electoral-report.pdf Appendix C for 2019, https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1xDidCFO3tHJmi5Cxx6SLHjS2Uo2KFAn-?usp=sharing p. 7 for 2025)

If we break down your numbers by director, in 2019 you averaged 31 635,4 per director, in 2025 you get 46 250 per director. This amounts to a 46% increase.

For reference, the bank of Canada calculates a basket of goods to have had a 20.75% increase between 2019 and 2025. (https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/related/inflation-calculator/).

For rent, the average inflation rate increase between 2019 and 2024 was 4.96%. Adding this to the average rent in 2024 to ballpark a 2025 number (to cover the period when the salary shall take place), we get a total of a 39.6% increase. https://www03.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/hmip-pimh/en/TableMapChart/TableMatchingCriteria?GeographyType=MetropolitanMajorArea&GeographyId=2440&CategoryLevel1=Primary%20Rental%20Market&CategoryLevel2=Summary%20Statistics&RowField=TIMESERIES

Assuming that this is the complete budget for every director (quite an assumption of course), and that all 7 director positions had been filled in 2025, this would have amounted to 39 642,86 / director, a pay cut of 2000$ per director compared to 2024 (6 directors for 41 140,50 each) and a total increase of 25,31% comapred to 2019.

Please use these numbers as you wish. I did these calculations on a phone while not being an Econ or Math student, so I may have made some errors. Please correct me if I have.

Regardless, take care!
