The uncountable becomes countable.

Just because you can perform a job from home, doesn’t mean it’s ideal for performance. With

You’re refuting an assertion made by NO one.

No one said all jobs can be done remotely. When the site consolidated equipment or media somewhere, and there’s no way to manipulate stuff remotely then - of course - it’s not a remote capable job.

We’re ignoring that buses are just big drones and surgery has been performed by servos or volunteers at the direction of a specialist far away. But you make a point, as has been made before, that a lever which cannot yet be pulled by a remote action needs an agile meatbag to do so.

The point that has been made - oh god, thousands of times - is that jobs that can be remote, should be. And that egotistical managers needing to feel better by staring at asses in chairs all day and knowing they were forced there through threat of food insecurity, that’s not really a justification.

Amazon’s demanded its devs come back into the office for no value, despite the personality type of those devs, an objective assessment of the workpace they’re forced into - toxic - and the need to live within commute range to get there, limiting housing options for the workers and severely limiting the talent pool for companies. These are people who can, would, will and did the same work better and happier in an environment of their choosing - be it central office or personal office. Now they have no choice but to bend to the will of their boomer-esque managers who forgot it’s not the 1900s anymore.

For remote-capable jobs, the only reason workers need to take risks and spend more money to physically commute is purely and simply egos of bad managers.

That’s it. The dead weight they need to shed was in the office the whole time.

I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection or even private client devices.

As otherwise mentioned, it’s actually straightforward.

I work in the daytime on some pretty well-secured stuff; not “secret squirrel” but “people data” stuff. There’s a LOT of forms to sign, and they want to ensure you’re not working on a shared patio but in a real, dedicated office space that is ergonomically optimal and private, with a few other rules, but the effort that started as a panic on COVID day 1 proved workable and they’re going with it. They sold the offices in the dank ugly building. And this org is actually insanely cautious and works with cautious entities, and even they could work it.

At night I work for a different company on different shipped gear… and a KVM switch to go from one set to the other. They’re all segregated and secure, and the night job I’ve had for 22 years with only two invites to fly down to the office for a visit in that time. Barbecues, actually.

I have a lovely view of the river.

It works. You have to be sensible and secure, and then you’re golden.

I use it for Ansible, so not for code, and just to reduce the time my brain is exposed to Ansible.

Good old curl|sh

You can see the non stop complaints in the Google Search Support forums about the issue if you scroll down to that time frame. There is also this massive Reddit thread with complaints

But, strangely, not a complaint was heard.

You know how adults who don’t have children talk to children? And there are no children in the room? Ok.

Comma splice here, comma splice there.

This is a different take on the VMscare broadcom purchase.

The real losers here are SoHos where it is too pricy to migrate and also too pricy not to. I don’t know whether that’s in your 1% or 99% but:

• devs don’t develop for infrastructure their customers don’t use. It’s as dead as LKC, then.
• big customers have deprecated their VMware infra and are only spending on replacement products, and if they do the same for docker the company will suffer in a year.

If docker doesn’t have the gov/mil revenue, are we prepared for the company shedding projects and people as it shrinks?

Remember: when tech elephants fight, it’s we the grass who suffers.

Breathe, son.

1. I run with a preferred name instead of a Rupert J Farnsworth III name (actually it sounds like another name of a criminal; not as bad as my buddy Chuck Manson’s name, but someone says ‘hyuk hyuk’ a few times a year).
2. I don’t have a phone number that will ring and get me. My personal phone is set up as a tablet and has no usable number and can’t receive calls or text messages.

Guess that and the lack of a good app means I can’t sell anything on the play store.

As in, significant reforms

See: Australia.

Oh my god.

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knadh/listmonk/master/

We absolutely need to stop this. Sure, I saw the disclaimer, but we need to end the normalization of running ANY black-box crap off the net. “curl|sh” needs to be laughed into exile for all our safety.

The easiest thing needs to be the right thing – common security saying

Then it’s

vim

As if that’s actually user-friendly or a positive experience instead of the worst thing to ever survive from the last century, crawling along on its rotting flesh and drooling on the pavement like some toxic residue from the vietnam war that it is.

In what asylum do you have the people willing to suffer vi and who also need a curl|sh ? Are they lazy or just misled as noobs into thinking vi is the only editor out the–

You guys, I just realized how vi masochists actually reproduce. It’s like zombies, guys, eating brains until the victim raises up another zombie.

And that curl|sh – does it invite supply-chain exploits? Ohhh, you bet it does! Best black-box script ever! Use this as a test for your security people – if they gauge this as a threat from within another threat, they pass. But, honestly, had it not been for the horrible spelling, I wouldn’t have thought to check further. \shrug. Mineshafts and canaries I guess.

As a sarcastic joke comment. Whoosh?

Well, I’m sated.

consider every Russian soldier complicit in this invasion of Ukraine.

Careful. Cults are a thing; and powerful for a reason.

“They did it first” doesn’t support the point, even when they’re as bad as Russia has been.

You can “root” for a group and still keep the laws uniform and avoid hypocrisy. You really want to do all three.

Someone go through the GC and tell me how this isn’t a war crime now? This seems a lot like napalm or WP.

Yes, Russia’s worse, and we all know it. But when we’re done fighting monsters we shouldn’t have become them.
