If your managers only job is to micromanage you, your manager doesn’t have an actual job and is just babysitting you for money, and you’re probably in a shitty organization that doesn’t know how to manage personnel.

I’ve had multiple jobs where my boss didn’t have time to look over my shoulder because they were too busy doing their own work to bother the team as long as everyone is pulling their weight (and tend to come down like a ton of bricks when they have to do management shit instead of their job because you fucked up again, Matt).

It’s so nice to work for orgs that resect me as an employee enough to let me do my job in peace.

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that’s still not the browser. Again, just because it’s a derivative browser doesn’t make it the same browser.

Since your friend is still a student, they should try to see if they can get in with your school’s IT department.

I started my it career working for my school’s IT department first answering phones, then doing desk side work. That job is actually what got me my first real job in the industry. Since then I’ve jobbed hob multiple times and have effectively quadrupled my original salary (6 figures), all in under a decade.

They’re the same browser though.

They actually aren’t the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

It’s a similar and derivative browser, but they aren’t the same.

There are more similarities than differences.

You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren’t the same person.

And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

Is … Is their banner supposed to invoke an instant thought of the Nazis?

While I wouldn’t assume anything is permanent these days, I’d agree for the moment. I had already uninstalled Gemini on my phone (2ish months ago) and just verified I still see Google listed as the default assistant.

Aside from the fact that he made twitter (which I blame in large part for how our political/news media landscape, as well as modern discourse, has become so thoughtless), left and made blue sky, then left blue sky and endorsed twitter?

The dude supports a ton of toxic shit and can get entirely fucked.

If you can afford 3 houses, you can afford the extra tax on 2 or all 3 of them. And if you can’t, maybe you don’t need that many fucking houses…

Most people aren’t homeless because there is no house available

It’s amazing how I can add the word “affordable” to your statement and you’re suddenly wrong.

You see this as wanting to tax second homes while ignoring that tons of people are homeless because they can’t afford to live somewhere because of shitheads holding onto empty housing as an investment at the expense of the common person.

So yeah, let’s tax any house left unoccupied for more than half the year. If you can afford to have 2 houses, you can afford to pay more for the one you don’t live in so maybe we can free up some of them and lower the cost of housing.

The ADL has assured me that this was merely an awkward statement in a moment of enthusiasm

If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility

My interest in subnautica 2 is like the actual second game: below zero.

The first game and below zero are so different I’m not confident they know what about the first game was what drew people in.

Unless there’s a safety concern, there’s always the side of the road. I drive 2 lane backwoods roads periodically, and it’s not uncommon to see a car pulled a bit off the road with no visible driver’s seat.

Fuckin king! That’s an amazing joke.

“This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care” is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you riding for Nintendo so hard given their shitty anti-consumer practices?

The only way that works in practice is to either have a second admin who gets the order while the first is talking to their boss, or you have a non-technical person with a break glass account that can do it while the admin is in that meeting.

I’ve had to be the second admin on more than one occasion and it sucks to be the one disabling your coworker/friend when they get fired, but it’s part of the job.

Mmmmmm, arsenic tea…

Someone caught a minnow

I call that my morning constitutional
