bus_factor, to lemmyshitpost in Word

I already knew that, but some of my teammates were a little scared of it and had to learn the hard way.

bus_factor, to lemmyshitpost in Word

Eh, depends. I once had a document with lots of tables. I pasted another table into this document. Suddenly all regular text became bold and vice versa. If I made anything bold or non-bold after this, all the tables moved to the top left corner of the first page, on top of each other. Word did some weird stuff sometimes. We eventually threw in the towel and used LaTeX.

Maybe she’s Canadian and just being polite. You really can’t know.

bus_factor, to memes in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

See, those are needed for compliance/CYA. That has business value, so I can work with that. What I’m referring to here is just training on useless stuff for the sake of racking up points.

Sure, if there’s a business need for cleaning the office toilets I’ll stop coding and do it for a day.

In this case it’s “everyone needs to spend a few weeks getting points in the training portal, we don’t care what you do in there as long as you get points”. This clearly doesn’t fulfill any business need, people just do whatever BS is the least effort per point. And as you might expect from an internal training portal, spending 20 minutes in that thing makes me want to stab myself.

Again, if there’s a business need for it that’s a different story, but useless mandates just to jerk people around are a deal breaker.

Do you brag about your long hours, or do you complain about the lack of predictability from management? Only the former matches the statement in the quote.

Management was handing out bullshit busywork recently, and some people were complaining. Then some guy was like “they pay my salary, so I do whatever they want!”

What kind of bullshit wage slave mentality is that? I am the vendor in this scenario, my employer is paying for the privilege of using my services. There can be terms and conditions from both parties of that deal, and if they’re incompatible the deal is off.

bus_factor, to lemmyshitpost in Hop in, boys, we're going on a roadtrip.

Fun fact: Poo Poo Point is not named after poop, the natives named it after the sound a train makes.

bus_factor, to memes in Playing an unsupported file

I can! Happened all the time 20 years ago. Since then, no.

bus_factor, to cyanideandhappiness in 5 January 2023

Cyanide and Happiness has always been hit or miss. It’s a collaboration between multiple cartoonists, and they’re not all equally funny to everyone.

bus_factor, to linux in Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?

If you have ssh/SCP you can use sshfs to mount the remote host as a fuse filesystem. That would let you edit files on your workstation, but more or less all other commands would still need to happen on the remote system.

bus_factor, to movies in Nicolas Cage Ready To Quit Doing Movies: “Maybe Three Or Four More”

I read that he paid it down a while ago, but kept going with all sorts of weird movies because he was enjoying it. I guess he’s finally had his fill.

bus_factor, to linuxmemes in the main differences!!

Bottom right uses Enlightenment. Bottom left made his own tiling window manager which turned out exactly like the other tiling window managers.

bus_factor, to memes in I have bad news for you...
