China Is Bombarding Tech Talent With Job Offers. The West Is Freaking Out.
  • trains personnel only for them to leave and benefit some other state.

    The entire country of Canada may feel triggered for the last 30 years at this comment.

    I mean, all the doctors and nerds come back, but it takes a decade. Are you saying we get a border wall too, and Trump is gonna pay for it ?

  • The Truman Show
  • In the early years he would have been barely a prop. Things happen around him but not to him.

    You watched Full House season 1, right?

    Compare Canonical. Shuttleworth has apparently lost bags of money on his dream, for like decades by now, and apparently only last year or so showed a real profit, but kept on going. Same deal.

  • little roombas
  • ...and apparently basement-centipedes are eating silverfish and other ookies.

    Centipede-bro, I say. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five. High-five.

  • Elusive deer spotted wearing high-vis jacket in Canada: ‘Who is responsible?’
  • I love America reporting.

    1. "Local man from Chivington saves eagle" like we know where this ghost town is so we don't need a state or country suffix.

    2. "Deer in Canada", just "Canada", like it wouldn't even USE town names or regions or provinces because it's some tiny country instead of the second largest country on the planet.

    Just Canada.

    No need to be more exact. If a news guy isn't waving his hand like an old man from a chair giving directions, then is it really talking about <wave hand> Canada?

  • The West is Losing Their Collective Marbles
  • Canada's not fascist yet. We're electing our own Vance in a few months, so save your sympathy for us then.

    Apparently the Corporation has been able to convince people - as they've tried from the start - that Hair Guy is somehow worse than them. They haven't actually put forth a platform with any numbers or promises on it, but "hair guy bad" has finally found an audience so dumb to swallow it.

  • Air Canada customers kicked off plane for refusing vomit-covered seat

    Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

    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)

    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 error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

    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

    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?

    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

    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.
