Loblaws, Sobeys owners under investigation by Competition Bureau for alleged anti-competitive conduct (www.cbc.ca)

Canada’s Competition Bureau has launched investigations into the parent companies of grocery chains Loblaws and Sobeys for alleged anti-competitive conduct, court documents reveal, with Sobeys’ owner calling the inquiry “unlawful.”...

Corngood,

There’s a Competition Bureau? In Canada?

Corngood,

I think most orgs would want to own the server and for messages to not be end-to-end encrypted. All connections to the server would still be encrypted.

That would be more in-line with slack or something.

If you’re referring to federation specifically then that’s going to get pretty complicated with security policies.

Corngood,

One person has been killed and several others injured

“I was covered in coffee,” Andrew from London tells our colleagues on 5 Live.

Corngood,

Sounds like it’s not really a downgrade, but just an unreleased beta or test build? That seems a little less sketchy, and maybe it’ll be generally released at some point.

Corngood,

Cool seeing this here. I’m loving this album.

Corngood,

How dare you. Jeremiah Dickhead was perfect, and so is his line.

Corngood,

I’m sure they’ll find a way to make them last exactly the length of the warranty, or come up with some bullshit regular maintenance that’s required.

Corngood,

Something I’ve noticed from working in a big company is that people consistently fail to predict the backlash that their policy changes will cause.

They often don’t even care all that much about the change, and if you point out that people will be upset, they agree that it’s not worth it. They just can’t relate to the people they are impacting.

Corngood,

That’s what I’m talking about though. The stupid changes usually get caught, but you still have someone there who thought it was a good idea.

Corngood,

EVERYTHING THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE

Lead poisoning. That checks out.

Corngood,

Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.

Corngood, (edited )

I’d probably:

  1. make sure it can be reliably reproduced using something like systemctl suspend
  2. try swapping the cables and see if it still happens on the same screen, or the same port
  3. look at journald/dmesg output for the period from suspend to resume

When the screen fails to wake, are you able to get it back by powering it off, or by unplugging it? Is it X or wayland?

Corngood,

These drugs aren’t giving people the calories they need to live, so it sounds like your business depends on making people unhealthy.

Corngood,

Also I can’t seem to find a link to the actual survey, but:

The survey also shows 61 per cent agree so many international students are being admitted into Canada due to mismanaged finances by post-secondary institutions in the country.

This sounds like a bullshit survey question. This article is all survey and zero data.

Corngood,

Companies love getting your money early, especially with higher interest rates, so this only makes sense if the prices are going way up.

Corngood,

For Canada I’d say The Tragically Hip.

I’m not sure such a thing is possible now that fewer people listen to music from specifically Canadian sources. It used to be: commercial radio and music television, and both had strict Canadian content regulations.

I think there’s still a chance for artists to be well known locally, but it would probably be based on where they play shows, and maybe social media.

Reproducing a Microsoft corporate environment on Linux.

Most companies I’ve worked at where employees had a Microsoft work computers. They were under heavy control, even with admin privileges. I was wondering, for a corporate environment, how employees’Linux desktops could be kept under control in a similar way. What would be an open source or Linux based alternative to the...

Corngood,

What is ‘unallowed software’? A shell script the user wrote? Something they downloaded and compiled?

Limiting that seems fundamentally at odds with FOSS.

Corngood,

Of course not, but you have to either trust your users to some extent or give them a system that’s locked down to the point of hindering them.

Corngood,

There’s actually not that much autotools jank, really. There’s configure.ac and a few Makefile.am. The CMakeLists.txt in the root is bigger than any of those files.

There’s also some stuff from autotools archive in m4/. IMO that’s a bad practice and we should instead be referencing them as a build dependencies.

I’m not convinced this backdoor would have been significantly more difficult to hide in the cmake code.

Corngood,

Oh yeah, that was pretty much the point I was trying to make too.
