So fetch.

This is his “fuck you I quit then” moment.

I remember interviewing at Google years ago (if you’re keeping score, it was 2012/2013 just before their stock hiccupped and my onboarding was killed as I was only a 97% fit), and the guy was religious about page load times. “We cut 200 lines of code if it’ll give us a millisecond of page load speed”, that kind of thing.

How they’ve fallen.

Dude. That’s her mandate. It’s not that she’s betraying Canada; it’s more that the R.o.C isn’t really a consideration. Barely an afterthought, there to buffer the oil numbers.

The bluntness and absurdity I just found hilarious.

I’m glad someone is calling him on some of the bullshit.

Note that the weaselly fuck didn’t answer the question about what he would do. I bet he has the beginnings of an inkling of what he could consider doing if he’s prime minister – or what was Mr Trump’s status for his any-day-now healthcare master plan from 8 years ago?

Render unto Caesar? :-D

Money is payment. Food can be spun as kind-hearted. “I just bought them lunch; why are you being so mean about it?”

If you believe my therapist friend who is also non-normative in a relevant fashion, demands for pronouns are often ‘othering’ in result, and thus go from farce to force.

So, I write fewer email.

China: bad. X/Musk directly and openly interferes in UK and GER politics : move along

Nope.

Other gov spying on yanks: bad with no mitigation.

Yank companies spying on yanks: bad with mitigation option we just don’t take today.

Both: PR and disinfo campaigns to convince illiterate that it’s about more than surveillance, that it’s a conspiracy or nothing to worry about at all (paging Dr Schroedinger).

Sea lions?

There is a difference in the data gathered and where it goes. But just like the cheap

Source?

losers sealioning to invert the how-do-you-know question hoping people forget the pedigree of the information isn’t the same, it’s easy for people to both-sides data gathering too.

And I say that’s fine. HAVE it so gathered data must go through a Clearinghouse or two (a gov entity eg SeaLandia or an org like fsf) so it’s provably anonymous and then we carry on. To me, this is the result of the discussion we need to have around who gets to spy on you and how we choose that to get benefits at reduced exposure to risk.

Just, it’s not the same.

… And two of them can be sued by the DoJ and forced into revolving compliance evals .

… if we had a non-toothless DoJ; I get it. But the ability is there.

I have a well-fenced server that I inherited 20 years ago and, but for power outages, has been in operation throughout. It survived a p2v but will not survive the coming v2v. #rhel4 #vmscare

Jira, which is available as on-prem version.

Check again.

Either way, I’d consider moving off Jira.

EDID, right?

I have eaten 9 grapes.

I used to work as a sullen kid picking grapes for a winery in the summers. Hated the very thought so never ate any, not because I had any respect back then. As a poor kid, you aren’t forced to try something if it would waste food: give it to the people whom it can benefit.

Now then, decades later, and we’re touring another vineyard, me and my wife. “Here,” says the tour guide, handing me one. “Try it.”

Wife knows the deal - squick - but knows I won’t be impolite while this man shows off his livelihood. Her eyes flash a dare but I didn’t need that. I ate my first grape about 14 years ago from st hubertus winery in Kelowna. Didn’t make a face so as not to offend. It was meh.

Since then I’ve had one or two more. And then we go to this fancy pants restaurant and the appetizer on the pricy-ass set menu is this Italian salad thing with all.kinds of green grapes. Fuck me but it was expensive. Ate the whole thing because we don’t waste food in my family. She chuckled and rolled her gorgeous green eyes as she stole a few. That’s the last 6.

So 9.

I may have had 1 hundred strawberries too. I’m livin it up.

It makes sandwiches a little too ‘wet’ for me, but I’ll drag 'em onto the side and eat them separately so they don’t ruin it.

Ha ha ha, generalizations are fun and hateful.
