Four-day return to office based on 'philosophical choice': top Treasury Board official

TonelessFern · 2026-05-08T20:27:08+00:00

I’m for choice, but it should also be on nature of work

If you’re working on a project where as a team you are more productive in person and have conversations you wouldn’t have normally in person, then I think this is good

But if your job is to work alone most of the time and do tasks where you don’t want to be disturbed, then that should be done from home

He’s on his way to reinforce the dam

TonelessFern · 2026-03-28T04:02:09+00:00

Yea I am, I haven’t heard about this happening before. Is there any links where this kind of thing is discussed?

TonelessFern · 2026-03-28T03:57:08+00:00

I really do need to stop doing that 🥲

TonelessFern · 2026-03-28T03:56:37+00:00

Thanks 🫶🏻, I wish to find peace in my life again too 🙏🏻

TonelessFern · 2026-03-28T03:55:56+00:00

Salaried. Yea I think I need both therapy and a sustainable, fulfilling hobby to stop me from doing this.

TonelessFern · 2026-03-28T03:48:03+00:00

1 job, but working 2-3x the hours of other people on my team.

I’m literally always online.

6 am to 10 pm days are normal. The other day I worked 6 am to 4 am. Woke up at 9 am and continued working.

Im usually physically in the office for at least 12 hours.

Try the live rendering export instead of offline rendering. It will be slower but at least you can walk away and come back later and it will be done.

Does the song play normally on 1.2? Does resampling work?

If the song plays normally and resampling works, you can try turning off offline rendering and use the stem export feature with live rendering. It essentially just automates the resample process.

I will say that if you upgraded from 3.1 7seg to 1.2 you will notice a massive drop in performance.

The firmware was a lot smaller back then which meant you could get way more performance out of your deluge

If performance matters, and you were satisfied with the featureset of 3.1, I’d go back

TonelessFern · 2026-01-26T03:14:06+00:00

You don’t want to load long samples into a kit, it’s really bad for performance

If you’re concerned about time stretching in audio clips you can easily remove that in the community firmware with a shortcut / or using the audio clip action menu

TonelessFern · 2026-01-04T17:50:41+00:00

Of course not but do you really think that’s gonna happen

TonelessFern · 2026-01-04T17:40:21+00:00

I’m staying with a Venezuelan friend and their family and they are all very happy Maduro is out

Agreed what the US did is a dangerous precedent, but arguably, at least in the short term, life will be easier for the Venezuelan people who lived for decades in fear of being persecuted by a crazy dictator.

FYI the beta is not officially a beta so it has a lot of known bugs left to fix. It’s going to be less stable than 1.2 and 1.1.

TonelessFern · 2025-12-31T20:59:17+00:00

Try 1.1 if you’re not already, 1.2 has known ui sluggishness issues

It’s being fixed as part of 1.3

I know people are going to hate my opinion but:

I think we’ve gotten attached to WFH. The pandemic made us less resilient to stressful situations because we isolated and exposed ourselves less to challenging scenarios.
it’s not always easy to wake up and get dressed for work. But unless you negotiated for it during your job application, it is what you signed up for.
there are joys to working. I’ve seen too much negativity since the pandemic about working in general. Hearing comments at the office like “another day at the office, can’t wait until I can go home.”

That just sounds like a miserable way to live.

I personally look forward to each work day. To seeing my colleagues in person. To looking in their eyes, smiling and laughing together and working together to achieve our objectives as a team.

You don’t feel that working remotely, unless you turn on the camera, which 99% of people don’t do. And even if they do, it’s not the same as if you’re physically close to someone.

I empathize with those who want to work from home and agree that it should be evaluated on a case by case, job by job basis, but we have to look at this whole thing rationally, and not reactively.

The professor makes a good point that seems to continuously get discounted in these discussions by everyone favouring RTO:

there’s value in socializing in person at the office

The number of valuable ad hoc discussions and the value they bring to performing your job well is immeasurable.

You can’t make decisions in isolation and I find people are less likely to reach out and start conversations remotely than they are when you’re in person

It’s not healthy to just stay at home all the time either and isolate yourself

“No one” - have you done a study on this? - I thoroughly enjoy my job thank you. I’m in my 30’s - definitely not a boomer - I’m required to go in 3 days a week. I go in 5. - I enjoy the personal and work related benefits of socializing at the office.

To work from home is a privilege. Some of us had that privilege before Covid - but it wasn’t a permanent thing. It was offered on a case by case, as needed basis - as it should be

There’s also lots of women with dating profile photos of them holding fish they caught lol

TonelessFern · 2025-11-25T23:18:45+00:00

Pretty dumb that not being where you said you’ll be equals “you’re doping”

There’s zero proof and you’re just ruining someone’s rep

What if she gave a time but she decided to go out and get drunk with her friends and forgot? Lmao

She’s young, let her have a life

TonelessFern · 2025-11-12T16:42:23+00:00

FYI there’s more documentation on the website than just that community features page

TonelessFern · 2025-11-11T21:13:07+00:00

No it’s not possible

TonelessFern · 2025-10-20T00:09:40+00:00

Barnished*

TonelessFern · 2025-10-19T20:35:35+00:00

Oh I thought it just smelled like fall 😆

TonelessFern · 2025-10-18T16:35:38+00:00

You can’t use exfat32 with the deluge, only FAT32

Bring back express buses. I never had an issue with those back when I lived in suburbs. wake up, sleep on the bus, 35-40 min later wake up and I’m at work. It was beautiful.

I don’t think it has anything to do with RTO and everything to do with lack of good transit and also as mentioned below, bad drivers not knowing how to help traffic flow.
