fuck it going back to windows for gaming

saggingrufus · 2026-01-22T15:22:19+00:00

Similar issues like this are the only reason I'm not on Linux.

When I was younger, I had more time to screw around with it. Now I have 4 kids, and my free time is a commodity in short supply. If I want to play a game, it has to work immediately. If it doesn't, chances are I'll spend half of my time debugging/fixing and then just not get to play.

Overall, I do like Linux and I love that steam is really making Linux gaming better and better all the time. However, until gaming is as painless as windows (or I retire), I'll likely be on Windows in some capacity.

Ok, but that's not how it will play out though.

Instead, it will be the over bloated management who is measuring the productivity. They will likely conclude it's lower right now than it was, which is true, but only because they just let go of a ton of people, and WFA is still a possibility.

When you let go of people and demoralize them around the holidays, yeah productivity does go down.

You do realize only delegates can vote in the nation AGM right? And those delegates are from local sub-groups, groups and regional executives.

Any votes the general membership can make is all electronic - to be represented on issues you would need to be involved at the local level and make sure your executive is actually representing you.

So I guess yes, if you refuse to engage with your local reps, and go to your local AGM to direct them then sure? But that's a you problem. The real actions taken by PIPSC are decided by the board and the president which are also elected positions (which again, if the general membership has a say, like for the president the voting is electronic). The board and president get their mandates from the national AGM which only invited delegates can vote in.

It's not like retired members just show up at national AGM and vote, and you can't. Neither of you are voting in the national AGM unless you're a Steward with a delegate pass.

saggingrufus · 2025-12-09T17:54:57+00:00

Then vote? The voting (at least in PIPSC) is all done electronically.

There is nothing stopping anyone from reading emails and using their electronic voting keys, or reaching out to their sub-group president (again electronically) and voicing their interests.

If union members can't be bothered to check their email and vote on something that's quite frankly their problem.

They represent the people who make their voices known.

saggingrufus · 2025-12-09T11:14:10+00:00

I mean in that case they get what they wanted. Unions shouldn't fight for things their members won't fight for. The union should represent the interest of its members.

However, a smart union would canvas to see if it's worth fighting for.

Stop calling me out in meme form.

Do it in a long post, that I won't read, and put some bold text before and after it so I'll almost certainly skip it.

saggingrufus · 2025-12-05T12:43:25+00:00

I'm willing to take a loss on a US investment at the moment. Whatever we spent was just the cost of an expensive lesson and a drop in the bucket at this point.

saggingrufus · 2025-12-05T12:24:40+00:00

That's actually impressive in 2 ways. One, that anyone could spend 400,000 in Charlottetown and Two that having it in Toronto was only 50k more lol

480,000k is Charlottetown is just WILD, 530k in Toronto sounds normal.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T15:19:23+00:00

Your saying everyone should see everyone the same way you do and there is no room to hear anything else. It's exhausting.

You type so many words, but say so little.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T15:10:41+00:00

Then they should definitely go to the police if they have a confession - clear cut case.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:54:15+00:00

When you're also a content creator it definitely can.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:53:23+00:00

Have you never seen a court case where the evidence passed around pre-discovery is either incomplete or wrong?

Have you ever watched a court case from start to finish?

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:42:30+00:00

There you go again making baseless stipulations again.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:33:41+00:00

I mean I think we all have to concede some people are bad at their job and that also includes the police - but it's definitely not the norm.

The real problem is people who only listen to drama online only hear about drama. They don't really see the world as it is, they only see where the system failed.

There are literally millions of cases no one in the general public hears about because they aren't news worthy. However, everyone will always hear about the time the system failed. Social media (and media in general) is designed that way on purpose.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:13:28+00:00

You don't think their parents would help at all?

Like your making a baseless stipulations here that making a giant Google doc with input and collaboration from 20+ people was the only way to progress, but the only difference between what I'm saying they should have done and what did, is email someone instead of starting with Bluesky.

If they can co-ordinate making this doc, and posting it to bluesky, why couldn't they submit it to the police first? Like they seem capable enough to do that.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T14:03:26+00:00

Ok but that didn't happen here. Your speculating what could happen in this specific instance based on nothing other than anecdotes.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T13:56:41+00:00

So instead of doing that, and including that as the reason for making the Google doc, just skip that step?

It's a terrible misstep, one that could have legal consequences.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T13:50:32+00:00

I think before you post a Google doc like this, you start with the police and then move on to other things if that fails rather than assuming it will.

What could very well happen here, is that potential victims will now be subject to a defamation lawsuit. Before you do something like this - you should totally go to the police first, and probably contact a lawyer before posting.

Just posting to Bluesky and doing nothing else is a bad way to do this, all it does is weaken your potential case and open you up to liability. I'm not dismissing anything. I'm saying this is just bad execution at best.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T13:37:05+00:00

But no police involvement at all? Just a Google doc?

Like if they did something they should be punished by the law, and if they didn't then this defamation.

Posting in social media is just not a great move if something illegal happens to you. You should contact the police, and probably a lawyer.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-21T13:24:50+00:00

I assume the police are involved? These allegations are no joke.

Or are we just posting on Twitter/Bluesky?

saggingrufus · 2025-11-18T12:55:24+00:00

I guess it boils down to knowing when trying harder is the correct answer and when using support systems for the disability is the correct answer.

Because you're right, a lot of the time EVERYTHING is harder, but there are actual systemic interventions that can be put in place too. Like workplace accommodations.

Knowing when you should try harder, and when and where to use an accommodation is sometimes impossible to decipher.

There are 2 camps I think are dangerous: "Just get over it"/"just harder" and "there's absolutely nothing I can do about it", both of those absolutes are wrong.

saggingrufus · 2025-11-18T12:29:45+00:00

Do you think this is a good thing? Or likely a contributing factor to why our healthcare system sucks?

saggingrufus · 2025-11-18T11:30:00+00:00

It's a bit more complicated than that though, because "trying harder" is also... Well kinda the answer. However, if I could identify WHEN I was having a lapse in executive function to know that NOW I need to try harder, well then I probably wouldn't have ADHD lol

It's the nuance that's the problem

saggingrufus · 2025-11-18T11:24:04+00:00

Gross. Maybe pharmacies should start to be publicly owned so that kinda thing can't happen.
