Yeah, management positions are often filled by people who:
A) Want to get a higher paying job and don't care about the product or the industry necessarily (MBA-circlejerk types).
B) Are Devs/Artists/Creatives that wanted increased compensation, and the only way up was as a manager where they have less aptitude.
Executive staff needs to better integrate management as "servant leaders" within teams, and compensate EVERYONE better
"If I don't personally understand it, and it might change the way I do/view things, must be a conspiracy"
Wilful ignorance
Second best is a local grocer.
Yeah I shop at my local Asian supermarket. Family run, and so much cheaper than the nearby Loblaws or even the farther No Frills.
Another shitty thing about Plexamp is there is no easy way to download your entire library in a converted format and auto download any new additions.
The developer said that "this is not the intended use of Plexamp", but the reasoning is flawed IMO
The only thing keeping me on Plex is iOS downloads supported natively.
The second Swiftfin gets that I will be switching fully to Jellyfin
Unless Plex adds something new and exciting that pushes them beyond FOSS offerings
Yeah, I have a Grandpa in the same boat - older "conservative", but is disgusted by what the party has decided to embrace: climate change denialism, fear-mongering, rage-baiting, anti-LGBTQ, anti-science, weirdly pro-Russia for some reason? etc.
Not trying to view the past with rose-coloured glasses, but even looking at the past 10 years you can see and feel a sharp directional shift of the CPC towards regression.
I am a Liberal through and through, but it would honestly be refreshing if Conservatives just wanted to debate tax policy, spending, and free market economics instead of actively spreading misinformation and hate.
We need a sort of "internet enlightenment" era where we re-calibrate humanity back towards reason and empathy.
As much as I like my Steam Deck, replacing the battery is not as easy or clean as it should be because of the glue.
Yes I know there's a reason they glued it, and yes its good that it is "user replaceable" to some extent, but I hope this pushes for easier replacement in the future.
I would imagine that the battery cell manufacturers also play a role here, although I have absolutely no way to back this up so take it with a grain of salt. Because 99% of consumer mobile devices have glued in batteries, it is likely that Li-ion manufacturers have adjusted their supply chain to accommodate and make it less expensive for device makers to buy batteries that need to be glued. So it would be reasonable to assume if more companies need to switch to easily replaceable (read: not glued), the suppliers would shift to accommodate and stay competitive.
Interesting article let's read through...
In fact, according to odds on FanDuel, the Tories are favoured to win the next election at -143 while Trudeau’s Liberals sit at +110.
Ahhhh, Toronto Sun back at it again with the hard hitting journalism. Disgusting and disingenuous crap, glad The Star avoided the Postmedia merger
O'Toole didn't want to piss off the far right viewpoint that was growing, Poilievre actively panders and encourages them.
I don't want to make general statements, but Canadaland did a podcast on the horrible injustices within the Thunder Bay Police force.
One example of some pretty messed up stuff.
Nah @exu is right: non-IT focused companies do not have the skills or desire to reliably set up and maintain these systems. There is no benefit to them creating their own server stack based on a community distro to save a few bucks.
Smaller companies will hire MSPs to get them setup and maintain what they need. And medium to large size companies would want an enterprise solution (IE: RHEL) they can reliably integrate into their operations.
This is for a few high value reasons. Taking Red Hat as an example:
When lots of money is on the line companies want as many safety/contingency plans as they can get which is why RedHat makes sense.
The only companies that will roll their own solution are either very small with knowledgeable IT people (smaller startups), or MASSIVE companies that will create very custom solutions and then train their own IT operations divisions (talking like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon levels).
Not to say what Red Hat did is justified or good, because hampering the FOSS ecosystem is destructive overall, but just putting this into context.
