Microsoft Project Plan E5 is not the same as Microsoft Project Plan 1, right? Like, I've planted a flag on this hill and I may very well die here, but unless I've seriously misread some documentation E5 is view/edit only, and Plan 1 is create.

@ryan I assume you already found this, but this is the only thing that even remotely looks like real documentation (and I'm not sure it mentions "plan 1") https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/project-for-the-web/office-365-user-view-access-to-project-and-roadmap

@ryan Ahhh, I missed that; then yeah your read seems 100% accurate to the documentation!

(whether Microsoft docs represent reality is a different question)

Leadership when you respond with just '🤦🏾‍♂️' in response to a long analysis and triage in which you did nothing

@ryan oops, I dropped a critical word in that post.
To be clear: it was said leader who responded with 🤦🏾‍♂️

paarth,
@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@ryan update: had words. Maybe some of those words were synonymous with "absolute refusal".
Who's to say.

So, I say I use all the time, and that X11 is dead, or dying.

And while the second part of that statement is a fact, it doesn’t mean Wayland is ready for everyone right now, so I decided to take a look at the current state of Wayland support, between desktops, apps, drivers, and what the protocol still doesn’t support:

@thelinuxEXP there are still games (Heroes of the Storm) that don't run perfectly (full-screen on my 5120x1440 monitor) under Wine using Xwayland, but do still work perfectly using X11.

I will die on this hill.

@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@thelinuxEXP and I'll be 100% happy to try again then! But for now I'm stuck, and not unhappily since X11 doesn't have any broken behavior for me

After getting a divide by zero panic in code that shouldn't do math, I'm now utterly convinced that teaching sand to think was a mistake.

    @nf3xn (Not a lawyer):
    Defamation/libel are fairly high standards, and you have to prove that the plaintiff knowingly, deliberately, told lies with the intent to deceive. Common defenses usually then include "Oh I couldn't have known better" or "no reasonable person would think I was serious."
    Trump being as he is makes those and similar defenses rather hard to punch through.

    So suing people (and ultimately prevailing) against those who should know better works better: https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe

    @nf3xn
    > Dominion set out to prove in the lawsuit that Fox acted with malice in airing allegations that it knew to be false, or with “reckless disregard” for the truth. It presented volumes of internal emails and text messages that showed Fox executives and personalities saying they knew the accusations were untrue, even as the falsehoods were aired on programs hosted by Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs and Jeannine Pirro.

    I'm glad I'm not overly personally invested in my work; my 5 year work anniversary just slipped by me a few days ago and I didn't notice until my manager came back from vacation and said congrats 🎊

    Remember when the Panama Papers came out? Remember that it evidenced a global network of tax-dodging, wealth-hoarding, criminal activity by the super-rich? Remember how literally nothing happened?

    Excuse me, wtf Europe.

    > Now many countries no longer have a boosters-for-all policy [...]. Health officials in the United Kingdom announced in August that autumn boosters would be offered only to the most vulnerable individuals, such as adults aged 65 and over and health care workers. France does not recommend an autumn booster for people outside vulnerable groups. Germany is not mounting an autumn booster campaign at all [...]
