I get a reward every two weeks.

I tailor my work commitment based on it.

"I can't hear you. What's your extension again?

It's seriously the second question I ask on a cold call. If they really are my bank / etc , then they'll give me that super fast. If they try to give me a number, I assure them I have it in the phone book.

So many scams derail when you're calling back an internal extension from the well-known switch-board number.

Like the French with the Germans back then.

Bay-gull. Bagel.

Always remember who we voted against. We would need special instruments to measure how quickly Polyestre would have caved.

My boss was the child of a Paperclip scientist. The rushed immigration actually left them with improper status, and he tells a fun story about how they got that settled.

Why the fancy apostrophe?

Comma splice party.

Fahrenheit

Since 95% of people on the planet have evolved to metric, it may help to point out the unconventional measurements when you use them.

It conforms to the rule about the cheapest weddings leading to the longest marriages.

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

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

 

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?

 

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?

 

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.
