"Water to wine" was a metaphor for sneaking it into the party.

no agency or are uniformly of one mindset, protecting the company at all costs

One comment is anecdotal. A million is a statistic.

If you're suggesting different, then I'd point you to the word 'exception', and also suggest that HR has an image problem deeply rooted in a conflict of interest that it needs to solve. And if it wants to support the workers it will need to be funded by the workers to remove that conflict, and once it supports and is supported by the workers in a group, it's a union.

Please don't use Mirriam-webster as an English source. Noah was on a tear to re-make English when he created American. And it's as american as a hot-dog eating contest -- but in as much as dictionaries only tell you what's popular and only accidentally say what's right, this one is the farthest from canon outside of one country. I'm surprised there's still a 'u' in 'source'; or a 'c', for that matter.

They are being paid by the company

I overlooked this part. That's where the conflict of humanity comes in.

As expected, it's now called Resources. They stopped treating us as resource that are human, and now just resources.

You can argue that those are not important to you, personally but I don’t think you can argue that they aren’t good reasons.

These sound like "value-add module purchased at or after time of sale" reasons.

In short, they're features and not requirements.

Realtors.

I don't know of a job more pointless. And I worked (reception) at a realty office and still didn't see the value.

You may not understand this, but humans are selfish and immoral and need rules. without all those jobs you mentioned, the rules are meaningless.

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!

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.
