that is assuming Carney understands remote, which I'm not certain of.

entire piece sounded like "sponsored by Liberal Party of Canada"... RTO mandate is idiotic as issue of "under-performance" is largely a management issue and not an employee issue. In other words it's a free admission that management is clueless and has no idea how to harness remote to it's full potential.

they will be integrating it on service side if I read it correctly so the choice of client would be non-important

I'm confused: why do we have an issue of AI bots crawling internet practically DOS'ing sites? Even if there's a feed of synthesized data it is apparent that contents of internet sites plays role too. So backfeeding AI slop to AI sounds real to me.

in response to all "it's just practical" posts: politics is not about practical (esp. in PP's case) but about optics and gestures. Politician who wants to project integrity and confidence would make it known that they will not be using the place that doesn't belong to them until such time that it becomes OK again. There needs not to be a "move" even, but the gesture of not utilizing residence could go a long way. Alternative is a projection of entitlement and arrogance.

Consider this: if you're working for corporation and reside in corporation-sponsored residence, you'd be expected to vacate the place within rather short timeframe despite the fact that you've supplied your resume to HR for position that just opened. And considering that PP views are very corporate I see disconnect with rhetoric.

his "philanthropy" was harmful as well - grants prohibited research institutions from sharing results etc. investments into "harmful" ventures... don't be fooled he is Vector from Despicable me... with rich daddy, useless gimmicks and anything of value stolen or extorted from competitors and "partners"

From recent article detailing POTUS47 silent attack on educational institutions by simply going "radio silent" on paperwork front I can't help but draw parallels. With Patel's stated mission of dismantling FBI I wouldn't be surprised he follows the same playbook, but this time making Dems choke finances for FBI for the lack of budget

Art of the deal: deal with it... 'cause I don't care

Funny that Conservatives more likely to claim misinformation, exactly the group most frequently (as of recent) subjected to incredible amount of misinformation (mainly from their own leaders). Unfortunately poll doesn't disclose what kind of disinformation did they perceive.

To be fair, Western provinces cannot really outbid QC+ON combo in both chambers. While Parliament represents provinces based o population, I think Senate should've been an equal representation from each province balancing out inherent inequality of Parliament... It's not unprecedented for PM to appoint "extra" senators to represent West so Carney can do that to help things along.

sensationalism swings both ways: both right and left. 25% is a sizeable number and we kind of know the source of it: Western Alienation coupled with dysfunctional electoral system (FPP) it breeds disenfranchisement. Also to note 60% voter turnout with 52% of it going to UPC ends up being around 30%... in other words that's pretty much UCP base. And UCP is busy fostering Western Alienation because it's easier than actually try and tackle it. Persistently Insulting your opponent is not a way to maintain dialogue yet this is all UCP was doing for the last 6yrs. They ran province for 50yrs, sat on pile of cash, threw it out the window with billions mysteriously disappearing from budget and they cry a river about inequality and use Wexit as a stick hoping to scare Fed. People are pissed because province was turned into one-trick pony that is strapped to volatile oil prices and they are legit scared for their livelihood. UCP dismissed any proposals or offers to retrain existing workforce to soften the transition, instead they chose to double down on Alienation and Oil. What I'm saying is - Feds reached out with money and offers to help, UCP either neglected or outright declined to use that money, because it wrecks narrative where everything is Feds fault (if Feds are not Cons, but if they are, it's previous Fed fault). So, UCP is keeping average Albertan hostage to their "game of politics" while keeping folks enraged and sucked deep into vortex of falsehoods and very few in their electorate want to hear otherwise. Reality disconnect is too painful to admit so it's best to keep living this rage dream.

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

Youtube bumps me out (self.libretube)
 

I haven't looked at youtube content for a while, however lately I can't watch any videos using libretube. Something about "prove you're not a bot" which I assume is a consequence of google's crusade against add-ons and 3rd party tools. Is there a way around it or are we done with YT?

Window sills material (self.woodworking)
submitted 1 year ago by droopy4096 to c/woodworking
 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
