They use their own kernel but a lot of the userland is FreeBSD-based (and some senior FreeBSD contributers are also Apple employees)

I’ve set up ‘informal working arrangements’ for a few people in my team because of family arrangements, health etc.

I might have also told one of the execs that I thought the return to office policy was BS while tipsy one night. He did agree though…

I occasionally do this too. For me it’s when my internal voice starts turning to the “dark side” and ruminating on stupid shit, I start feeling overwhelmed etc etc.

Ergh, I have been on seroquel. It did not work for me (and it didn’t help my arsehat psychiatrist just kept upping the dose when I said it wasn’t helping, then would up the antidepressants when I started feeling numb from the seroquel.)

Never again…

Hahaha, teachers HATED that day at our school because they then handed out free condoms… Which everyone just attached to car exhausts in the staff parking lot.

“[…] fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again”

I’ve known quite a few people/groups that are poly and I dated someone who was poly for a while too. I did it because I didn’t feel like I had to deal with 100% of my partner because that would have crushed me.

My info is purely anecdotal but two super common threads that kept on appearing is there were people who were poly, but were never actually poly and just said it because their partner wanted to be so they said they were too and that the people who were super committed to poly all were trying to fill a gap in their lives and had a lot of insecurities in general.

Most hated the idea of ever being alone, not just in ‘a relationship’ but actually just being by themselves.

Yeah our last PM here in Australia was very religious and a useless prick (who had to hire an ‘empathy coach’ I shit you not) and thankfully people realised he was an idiot. Sadly most of our parties have drifted right over the last 50-odd years so even our Labour is further right than a lot of people are happy with, and the Liberals (with a big L, they’re fiscal liberals but social conservatives) got their arses kicked last election. Greens have some support at least and some teeth to fight where they can but they’re not terribly well organised.

But we do have issues with far-right groups popping up and the importing of terrible US ideology. There are SovCits, Neo-Nazi groups and very open racism from groups too. I’ve even heard a protest group chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” because something something

Thank you!

Zombie Army 4 on XBox game pass. We’re all… Not fantastic gamers so we stick to co-op only games these days out of fear of playing against younger and better gamers!

Gaming tonight (running in to this morning…) with a bunch of friends. Good to just shit-talk each other. Co-op games only since we’re not… Good 😀

Date on Saturday night which I’m looking forward to! Forth date and the last one went super well. Divorced about 5+ years ago. A few dates since but no serious connections… Also dating when older kinda sucks.

Work has been frustrating but hoping it gets sorted out. Just egos going rampant…

Cat owner here too. One of my cats is a pure-breed Maine Coon, the other is a domestic mid/long hair. They have never ever been outdoors cats (well, the latter was a stray so I guess she was?) but they’re indoors kitties now. No issues at all, they have no interest to go outside. They are happy and content. I support indoors-only cats, and this is from someone who lives in a shoebox apartment.

Intel also had them in their higher end consumer gear (eg. their high-end NUCs etc)

“Basically Apple created” is a bit reductionist. The USB-IF also includes Microsoft, HP, Intel and Texas Instruments amongst a couple of others (can’t recall them off the top of my head).

Also Thunderbolt was created by both Intel and Apple in collaboration…

I haven’t actually caught the Albury line in years so fair call!

I once worked with a team who would have useful tests like (it’s been years since I used Jasmine so not going to try), but things like if true === true.

Yeah thanks dipshit.

I’ve heard the Warrnambool line has similar issues too (plus it overlaps with the Geelong line)

Yeah it is. I’ve been divorced for 5 years now and also have troubles just connecting with people (I’m demi-sexual).

Lots of dates in the past which didn’t work well. It’s just nice to meet someone good.

Might not apply, but went on a date on Saturday night that surprised us both about how well it went. Online dating, and just dating in general for me I am super cynical but we just clicked. We’ve been texting constantly since then and it’s nice. 4 years since my last ‘real’ date/partner. 6 years since divorced.

It’s nice to just meet someone you get on well with.

It also takes longer to audit people who are trying to screw with the system so it’s sometimes just “Eh too hard” which is a bad reason to not do it…
