It may not meet the dictionary definition but I’ve considered moonlighting working an extra job, without necessarily telling your boss, but outside of regular work hours.

But that's kinda it: the act of working at an extra job, especially without telling your main employer

In my case, I tell my hiring manager when I sign the hiring doc: "I've been moonlighting for 22 years. It's as-available contract night work, and it's always more lucrative than OT or standby so I'll decline where possible. You won't notice, but I'm mentioning it up-front."

And then I sign. If I need to cross out some weird "we also own your free time" clause, I will do so and call it out as such.

 

I found this ironic.

I don't need research into the issue, as I'm sure I did at least half of whatever got me banned. I just wanted to point out the irony, is all.

Can confirm. I have a Rupert J Farnsworth III name, and no one calls me that.

My background check and extra check and mili check and squirrell check and all that? Steve Guppy aka Rupert J Farnsworth III is cool.

My bank readily accepts cheques addressed to my preferred name. Our IRS emulant has all that stuff. It was only 2 years ago my new employer mandated deadnames and it's been a constant struggle to bring their Plano/Delhi asses into line with anything modern. People say "Rupert! Bwahahaha" when it pops up.

And I know a guy in Florida who doesn't fit the FloridaMan tag, but here we are.

I forgot about the sunflowers. Excellent.

this type of brain damage is on a spectrum

This paper estimates that 4.5% of the population is psychopathic

Has psychopatic traits*

Also known as "on a spectrum" ...right?

I don't understand why, but they dont account for sociopathy at all in that study.

Not in the DSM as such maybe?

That fits with his preference for the truth to come out.

But will Epstein make a difference here any more than winning court cases did to restore Spacey's image?

They should be held in contempt until they wish to identify themselves for the permanent record.

Bailiff, take them to their shared accommodations.

Ask about retention and privacy policies: who can access them, and how can we confirm that? How often will that access policy be reviewed? Which primary and secondary person is responsible for confirming access and access lists? The risk of lawsuits could require insurance;nor will the contingency fund be paying for lawsuits brought by privacy violations that could arrive a decade after a violation? Where are the recordings stored, and for how long? Which member and secondary is responsible for reporting the status and size of held recordings, confirm they're being rotated and deleted, and confirm their storage medium is secure and private? Will passwords be rotated, and who is responsible for doing that, and who else is responsible for checking it's been changed in the atrata meetings? Is this an outsourcing thing, and which committee picks the company managing your backed up recordings, and is this the same group which will report on security compliance (advertised and tested randomly) where your likenesses will be stored?

Need more? Storing someone's likeness for any length of time requires a LOT of boxes checked, repeatedly, and this is often too much for most organizations, especially if they need to outsource the tech work. Asking periodically to have tapes remove your likeness and confirm it's removed will swamp an FTE, but suggest everyone do this to confirm their movements and ensure accuracy.

Recommend ALL this not be taken from contingency fund.

Glossed over after someone was shouting about my "A Child." I think it's an honor roll student thing but I wandered off.

drones. If Canada should sink funding into anything, it should be that.

ECM says what?

 

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

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.
