Metric Conversion Act of 1975

Sorry. Who is we?

'We' - context clues - would be easily guessed to be the subject of the jab in question, as the form suggests a riposte of sorts, to be the US. And, in fact, they did: they maintain their copy of the One True Kilogram and derive their imperial measurements from that golden kilo. See, they were secretly imperialists the whole time!

Oh shit. Don't say Golden Kilo to Cheesy Don or he'll try and sell shares.

I love the spelling mistake to convey the real message.

Nah. That's the tagline for Groundhog Day TWO.

Which, really, is just Groundhog Day, remastered, in a new box.

Canada was happy to host US early warning radar throughout the Cold War.

Canada can still do it. Just, now, the US will bankroll the build and pull data from Canadian gear.

... As long as they play nice and pay their bills.

Like, give or take one AU, throughout the year.

He's been one of the outsiders for years. There's a whole gang of 'em.

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.
