Federal gov’t sparks outrage for giving newcomers free access to Canada’s parks
  • Psst. We're all facing inflation and high house prices. It's no excuse to not be nice to people experiencing all that and had no citizenship.

    If trivial generosity with little actual impact to you is a challenge, is Canada Right for you?

  • Uninsured patient faces major hospital bills in Ontario after having legs amputated
  • Now you must agree billionaires and corporations should also stop receiving government subsidies because they are not paying their fair share, right?

    Nope. If they're not paying their fair share, they need handcuffs.

    Same thing goes for conservative regions that historically suck up funding while contributing none, right?

    Nope. Humans get what they need. If the cons running a region say no, then they also get billboards.

    Anything else and you would just be a hypocrite lying about why lesser classes should be treated worse; that would be terrible!

    Every Canadian or landed new-comer needs equal healthcare access. Everyone pays as per their income (and we spend almost as much as we should spend putting the cheaters in cuffs) to fund the consolidated service that leverages its size for discounts (why don't the cons love that?)

    Anything else is un-Canadian.

  • Uninsured patient faces major hospital bills in Ontario after having legs amputated
  • way to go canada. slowly turning to the 'fuck humans' mentality of the united states.

    The difference is that the US fucks its citizens where here it was someone not legally here.

    Not the best outcome - the country should bankroll the healthcare and then charge it back to the guy's home system - but painting this as if it's America is - and I know this firsthand - very different.

    seems youre infected with the same conservative virus.

    Oh we have it. We're trying to get rid of it as it's all just displaced Texans.

    I hear the UK is also infected.

    Theirs manifests as a "we'll split the system and let the best doctors run pricy private clinics for rich people". That'll be us in Alberta now, and then everywhere if the cruel blues win the election.

  • Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees
  • Just to be clear, this is the same Dell who fucked up and leaked a bunch of personal info.

    .. the number-one cause of which is usually missed patching, which is caused by people just.not.caring.

    I can see this going very well for them.

  • CNN's Burnett asks Biden how he is going to turn the economy around. He said he already has.
  • Your feelings about the economy don’t matter when the data all goes in the other direction

    Except its not "all the data". Its "the data we've always used to measure this up to now".

    I hear you saying an apples-to-apples comparison to show a point is ... somehow bad.

    Sometimes I just don't know what people want.

  • Air Canada customers kicked off plane for refusing vomit-covered seat

    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!

    Ah, RedHat (rpmdb failure)

    We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

    error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db5 error(-30973) from dbenv->failchk: BDB0087 DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30973) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

    You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

    Screen width and web dev

    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?

    Where's the "Did MSFT sharepoint just go down again today" posting space?

    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?

    #174 Fedora Linux With The Project Leader | Matthew Miller, in which RedHat stabbing the GPL in the back may or may not affect Fedora

    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.
