Ryan: let's buy something the cats can blow shit on

DaemonFC

schestowitz, $16.48 for 40 pounds of Arm & Hammer. It was $11 and something last time I looked.

DaemonFC

I just grabbed all the Walmart brand I normally use.

DaemonFC

At least when THEY raise the price I won't have to pay it for a while.

schestowitz

schestowitz, For some reason, I have a closet full of toilet paper.

schestowitz

for a while, months maybe, people needed to buy the more expensive brands left on shelves

DaemonFC

Walmart was getting rid of a Charmin Basic brand for half off.

schestowitz

you can bet your arse people felt softness for a whole

DaemonFC

Had a cart full of it. I bought a bunch.

schestowitz

*while

schestowitz

no more cheap brand papers

DaemonFC

No, they don't want those on the shelf anymore.

schestowitz

you're like your grandma !!

schestowitz

did you put all the litter under the bed (yet)?

DaemonFC

Toilet paper doesn't swell up and explode if you leave it there.

DaemonFC

Canned vegetables do that after 20 years you know. :)

DaemonFC

schestowitz, It wasn't a waste of money.

DaemonFC

Dillon isn’t alone. The pandemic inspired people of all ages who were stuck at home to try reselling products online, according to a reseller who goes by the name Atlas. "The government is sending you money. You're not leaving your house. You own a computer. Things definitely a hundred percent blew up during COVID," Atlas said, noting he now makes more money reselling than he did as a mechanical engineer.

DaemonFC

In Christmas 1996, I was looking all over for Nintendo 64s.

Nov 10 00:26

DaemonFC

Nintendo was deliberately holding them back to sell the ones it sent out at higher prices.

Nov 10 00:26

DaemonFC

Classified ads in the paper said if you wanted a N64 for your kids for Christmas, they had them for $600, like, you know, 3x the list price.

Nov 10 00:27

DaemonFC

Money was worth a lot more back then.

Nov 10 00:27

DaemonFC

And nobody was paying $600 retail for a game console.

Nov 10 00:27

DaemonFC

To put that in today's terms, it's like buying a PS5 for $600 and then putting it on ebay for $1,800.

Nov 10 00:28

DaemonFC

If scalpers run the stores out of supply and Christmas is coming up, they may even get away with it.

fallout4, skyrim, and several other games need faudio compiled with ffmpeg enabled in order for faudio to decode wma format.

DaemonFC

There's my answer.

DaemonFC

It doesn't work because Wine builds with its own FAudio now and the bundles copy has no WMA codec.

It's just a "supported" copy of wine, so most of the people asking about it are on Macs.

i dont know the date on that, but wasnt just me: quote Anyone who tells you Firefox is faster is probably confused or buying into hype. Every recent test I've seen has SeaMonkey starting up faster (even without QuickLaunch, which makes it launch almost instantaneously - a feature Firefox doesn't have), and they use the exact same rendering engine, so pageload speeds are the same.

Nov 10 05:41

not that i ever used that, or noticed any difference in startup time back then -- just they felt same speed to me as always

According to #uk gov. in #nhs #england 5.8% of staff consistently rejected #covid19 jabs (in spite if IMMENSE pressure). Given they're all adults, this isn't much different from the general population and serves to discredit the stigma/stereotypes is this being a hallmark of ignorance.

My main issue is, #patents on #covid19 stuff should never have been allowed in the first place (time of crisis, work funded by the taxpayers anyway) and all these #monopolies discourage making BETTER vaccines (no financial incentive to eradicate this thing!

Description • 2 months ago

DaemonFC

As discussed in bug 1709653, Office365 currently queries the user on whether it ought to handle email in Firefox on every navigation, regardless of whether the user has already dismissed the prompt. After some discussion, we would like to add a site intervention so that prompt only shows once, until we properly resolve bug 668577.

DaemonFC

This should be possible by adding a JS intervention which wraps around navigator.registerProtocolHandler. It will check if a cookie (of our own devising) named something like mailProtocolHandlerAlreadyOffered has been set. If it has, the call will be ignored. If it has not, the cookie will be set, and the call to registerProtocolHandler will be permitted.

DaemonFC

This should give users a relatively easy way to see the prompt again, while keeping the intervention as simple as possible.

schestowitz-TR

security issues per se are not CVEs

DaemonFC

DO YOU WANT OFFICE365 TO HANDLE YOUR EMAIL? NO

DaemonFC

That's pretty much at the only point anyone does the GED.

*mib_smfrpd (~4a6f7e65@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights

DaemonFC

Studies have shown that people with a GED don't earn more than high school graduates, or most dropouts.

schestowitz-TR

experience counts

schestowitz-TR

"show me some code"

DaemonFC

The result in today's economy is largely the same.

schestowitz-TR

"name some projects"

activelow

isn't true

schestowitz-TR

""show where you worked and what on"

schestowitz-TR

exams that aren't followed by practice lead to lost/forgotten skills

schestowitz-TR

I used to be very good at GTK

schestowitz-TR

around 2001-2

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, I've never seen a situation where the GED made a different over not having one.

DaemonFC

It's something they say so people will pay to test.

schestowitz-TR

I didn't use GTK after that

activelow

GED ?

schestowitz-TR

I knew the important APIs very well

DaemonFC

I mean, unless you need to point at it to go to the military or college.

schestowitz-TR

years later it was just a distant memory

DaemonFC

Employers don't give a shit, and they don't trust the GED!

schestowitz-TR

and GTK had new versions with new APIs anyway

DaemonFC

They'll sit you down anyway, and make you take THEIR test, even if you have a GED.

schestowitz-TR

DaemonFC: they want to make money

schestowitz-TR

or to net talented people

DaemonFC

They go, "Oh we don't care about that.".

schestowitz-TR

usually based on what they did prior...

schestowitz-TR

exams are ways for people to compensate for lack of experience

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, I remember, years ago....

schestowitz-TR

same with uni degrees that have exams

activelow

what is GED ?

schestowitz-TR

it's like a firestarter

DaemonFC

To get a job at a Kroger distribution center....

schestowitz-TR

generalised exam something?

DaemonFC

They made me take a math and literacy test.

DaemonFC

Get on a scale.

DaemonFC

Then of course, everyone's favorite, piss in a cup.

DaemonFC

I'm surprised they didn't check my teeth.

schestowitz-TR

jobs should not do exams in interviews

schestowitz-TR

it's poor use of time

schestowitz-TR

they should instead rely on existing records

DaemonFC

I've got news for them regarding people who are overweight.

job

schestowitz-TR

heh, funny typo though

schestowitz-TR

BTW, few jobs even ask about vaccination

schestowitz-TR

either measles or covid-19

schestowitz-TR

yesterday my sister told me they barely bothered even saying "get vaccinated"

schestowitz-TR

more like "be careful out there" but that was it..

schestowitz-TR

very hands-of...

schestowitz-TR

*off

schestowitz-TR

in my company the subject never even came up

schestowitz-TR

some colleagues might say, "I got my first today..."

schestowitz-TR

management never said a thing...

schestowitz-TR

when one of us got covid (daniel) they hid that from us

*mib_smfrpd (~4a6f7e65@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights

schestowitz-TR

they just said he was off ill

schestowitz-TR

another colleague blurted out that it was covid because he got hospitalised

schestowitz-TR

anyway, I never did an interview for this job

schestowitz-TR

it was almost 11 years ago

schestowitz-TR

it was just, "OK, let's get on jabber and get thunderbird configured for LDAP..."

schestowitz-TR

the same afternoon I already started working, the paperwork came a week later

u-amarsh04

a bit different here (and I didn't technically get an interview for my job but did get a contract pre-COVID-19 that had requirements for several other vaccines)

schestowitz-TR

the job prior to that was similar

schestowitz-TR

go have a chat with the university professors and off you go, just deciding how many days a week to work and how many from home, how many from the office

schestowitz-TR

paperwork comes later

*altlink_b2b has quit (connection closed)

u-amarsh04

future job contracts may require it

schestowitz-TR

oh, you mean pre-2019

schestowitz-TR

if you had worked elsewhere before they can assume you're meeting some criteria

u-amarsh04

yes, my old and still current contract was from 2018

schestowitz-TR

u-amarsh04: maybe people facing

schestowitz-TR

iirc, adelaide

u-amarsh04

yes, Adelaide (Royal Adelaide Hospital)

schestowitz-TR

sometimes the clients themselves want the assurances

schestowitz-TR

rather than colleagues

schestowitz-TR

and hospital

schestowitz-TR

so that makes sense

schestowitz-TR

they have steeper standards

schestowitz-TR

103k NHS workers in England refuse to get the covid-19 jab

schestowitz-TR

BillBC said so yesterday

schestowitz-TR

according to them, NHS has 103k "unvaccinated" [sic]

schestowitz-TR

whom I assure you got all the other vaccines one gets as a child

u-amarsh04

oof, that's high. Pfizer / AstraZenica / Moderna are on offer here

schestowitz-TR

Australia has much resistance too

schestowitz-TR

I've read people do big protests over it

u-amarsh04

yes, all the regulars, but did catch mumps, measles and chickenpox as a child as that was before the vaccines were available

schestowitz-TR

yes, typical for this generation

schestowitz-TR

chickenpox esp.

schestowitz-TR

almost everyone my generation has some marks left

u-amarsh04

so I might have to get a shingles vaccination soon

schestowitz-TR

a neighbour of ours got shingles

schestowitz-TR

and a relative too

schestowitz-TR

people focus on just one disease now, due to fatality rates

DaemonFC

Removing settings wasn’t enough. Firefox went on to neuter add-ons and themes, forcing centralised signing and ultimately deprecating XUL without adequate webextension api’s to replace lost functionality. Complaining about this change I again spoke to one of the lead developers (same guy). His response was (exact quote) “People don’t use Firefox because of add-ons. Our telemetry shows 80% of users never install any add-ons”

DaemonFC

i.e. the telemetry that any tech savvy person immediately turns off because they don’t want their browser spying on them and about which we have also complained numerous times.

techrights-news

Good to see #LiamProven in #theRegister ... can he counter-blanace all the #microsoft operatives who entered this publication?

schestowitz-TR

exactly, it's self-selecting

schestowitz-TR

in the sense that people with a clue opt OUT

*mib_smfrpd has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

schestowitz-TR

and then install things that work for them

schestowitz-TR

not for Baker's Bank Account

schestowitz-TR

rianne uses extensions in Firefox and had telemetry and other crap turned off

schestowitz-TR

so mozilla bases its analysis on people who never did 'jackshit' for firefox

schestowitz-TR

they just use it like drones

schestowitz-TR

and never advocated its use or made any extensions for it

schestowitz-TR

and won't report bugs, either
