What do you think is next for Canada and the USA? in c/canada

a national corps, who would be trained in the types of guerrilla warfare we’d need in this scenario. And be cross-trained to respond to climate emergencies such as floods and hurricanes and fires.

When I joined up, that was the CAF. You're describing the thing that we already have, and most of its mandate.

Take a recent innovation, and implement it better.

Ah, the mad rush to be Second Place.

Are you annoyed by lemmy crossposts? in c/nostupidquestions

Especially on big flashy news, I'm gonna see a news story about 7 times. Upvote the first, downvote the rest. Curse while doing so.

I'd love a solution, though. Why do we need to see it 7 times when it's the same content?

americans keep voting for red or blue

  • It's a binary choice, if we omit the Russian-backed shill
  • #BothSides aren't the same
  • pick the option of the two that is better. Repeat as the candidates evolve

I'm not sure whether these "#bothSides are terrible so let's not vote" are unable to detect nuance, can't read, can't do math, intentionally disenfranchising people, actually thinking they're crusaders, or kids in the basement hating everything because the science homework is due.

How good are you at your hobbies? in c/[email protected]

Nice to get that balance and leave the deadlines and stress back at the desk. Good on ya. I don't even care what your hobbies are -- you advertise the right attitude towards them. Keep it up.

Don't 'mess with Alaska,' U.S. senator warns B.C., even as state Republicans affirm friendship with Canada in c/canada

I say we impose what we have to, and let Alaska decide whether it's American or not.

As mentioned before, we usually don't announce when we're going to invade America. It's maybe because we're historically really drunk the entire time.

I hope they can decide not to elect idiots again just as a rule.

Classic trickle-down fallacy.

My dear friend has some pot plants.

Her dog discovered pot accidentally.

Then her dog discovered pot intentionally.

Then her dog discovered pot aggressively.

Now she has a greenhouse, and her dog is on a programme.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

Ah, RedHat (rpmdb failure) (self.linux)

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

Screen width and web dev (self.technology)
 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

Where's the "Did MSFT sharepoint just go down again today" posting space? (self.technology)
 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

#174 Fedora Linux With The Project Leader | Matthew Miller, in which RedHat stabbing the GPL in the back may or may not affect Fedora (www.youtube.com)
 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
