  • Nah we want you to start all your fucking about, get any beverage or condiments you might want, wash your hands, and have everyone at the table ready to eat when the food is ready.

    And subsequently, not get any criticism while we’ve finished our meal and you’ve just sat down because you had to go to the garage to get a new bottle of OJ, pee that became a poop, wash your hands, and find the sauce you’ve suddenly decided to dig out from the back of the pantry.

  • I bought Minecraft when it was first purchaseable. Only converted my account last month as my new-school-entrant kid has asked what it is.

    And honestly, I wish I didn’t. The MS launcher is an absolute shit show in usability for adults, let alone kids. Next time it forces me to log back in I’m just pirating it.

    I bought two copies, I’ll fucking run them how I please.

  • I worked for a tech company that went through an acquisition. The GM for my department knew what was up and insulated everyone from it.

    6 months later, redundencies for every department but ours.

    He also just told us what he wanted, and not how he wanted things done. Probably one of my best bosses tbh.

  • If you still do the sizing (it’s not entirely wasted as it’s a reasonably effective tool to gauge understanding across the team), This can still be done without the artificial time boxing.

    “How much work have we done in the last two weeks?” Just look at all the stories closed in the last two weeks. Easy.

    “When will X be delivered?” Look at X and all its dependencies, add up all the points, and guesstimate the time equivalence.

    Kanban isn’t a free for all, you still need structure and some planning. But you take most of that away from the do-ers and let them do what they do best… do.

  • They were first to market with a decent GPGPU toolkit (CUDA) which built them a pretty sizeable userbase.

    Then when competitors caught up, they made it as hard as possible to transition away from their ecosystem.

    Like Apple, but worse.

    I guess they learned from their Gaming heyday that not controlling the abstraction layer (eg OpenGL, DirectX, etc) means they can’t do lock in.

  • It’ll most likely mean the people running stuff in the background. payroll, asset management and purchasing, IT staff, etc.

    These people will have an impact on ‘crime fighting’, but marginally. Eg. If there’s a problem with payroll it might mean the police officers are paid a day or two late. Or maybe office supplies aren’t kept well stocked in station.

    But it might also be anyone who’s not an “officer”. So police station support/maintenance, mechanics, analysts (people who help the police analyse gathered intelligence), 111 operators, etc.

    This would probably have significant impacts on ‘crime fighting’. 500 extra police isn’t going to be as effective if police cars are broken, intelligence isn’t accurate, or there’s a wait time on 111.

  • As other have said, Banning felons from voting is a tool that can be used by oppressors to block their political rivals from standing against them.

    Which ironically is something the Republicans are probably wanting to do at some point in the future.

  • Ok. Did a quick read. And I think I mixed my words a little.

    Yes, Active Directory supports TOTP fine.

    But my understanding is rollouts can disable TOTP, and instead force the use of the proprietary scheme requiring the MS Authenticator app (which also supports TOTP) that uses push notifications to the device.

    As is the case with my employer. They didn’t enable TOTP, and I am unable to use the provided MFA QR code with 1Password.

  • Afaik, Microsoft’s OTP implementation is proprietary and not TOTP.

    But also, my understanding is you can select which MFA schemes you can use, and allow SMS, MS MFA, and TOTP.

    Source: employer used to allow sms, locked it down, and totp apps can’t parse the MS authenticator QR codes.

  • Alternate headline:

    Companies accept money for a thing that will happen anyway, and will be unable to prove if they say no.

    GenAi is unfortunately here, and the technocracy wants you to want it so they can farm you for more and more intimate data to leverage and enforce their technocracy. And the only way they’re going to do it is by keeping the press positive, and feed it more and more data in the hopes it fixes things.

  • I was expecting some sort of “Ai discovers new bug in 30 year old software”… cool I’m excited.

    Then they were talking about how the bug was persistent, and I’m more intrigued “is the bug some weird emergent behaviour corrupting state somewhere?”

    Nope, just another example of a shit in shit out data model.

  • More eyes on your website, means less on other websites, making your adverts more valuable.

    And when it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, because you run the advertising on the other websites too. Bonus: you can penalise rankings for websites that don’t use your advertising network.

  • I thought everyone decided “jfgi” in online discourse was a toxic years ago. It’s the same attitude as :

    chemtrails make you sick!

    How so?

    go do your own research

    If you’re going report on something, provide a little more information than just “no”. It’s more helpful, better for the community, and in 5 years time when the facts are different, there’ll still be a reference of what was factual in the past.
