my long term partner works at a non-profit regaarding humans rights issues in central/latin america and indgenous peoples

it kind of shines a light on how much personal value you could get out of a job.

You could also get a lil bit of that out of a company too. Something like less than 50 people big I guess, i dunno. I care about mine but i guess im lucky

boss just told me a story of trying to telepresence our senior vp in another state and a third group at the same time yesterday. our IT dept was able to make all 3 see each other but only groups 1 and 2 could hear. someone came up with the bright idea of just using their phones for the audio. every time someone talked, it would echo endlessly across those two groups until after 20 minutes of trying the meeting was scrubbed

the senior vp was also drinking a beer during this whole thing

whenever theres a solid echo that can reach feedback levels i make guitar noises or whatever to gently caress with the echo and ride at its edge like im doing wicked artificial harmonics

we are implementing multi-factor authentication, affecting sharepoint, skype for business, and outlook. the preferred method is via the microsoft authenticator mobile app, so you just click "approve" in the notification when logging in.

an admin assistant in the technology department does not have a cellphone, so can't use the app, cell call or text message options. there is an option to call a different number, but our office phones are all lync phones tied into skype, so you can see why this is an issue.

Because the phones don't work or because each button press is a new SIP session?

hi team,
today i am attending a company townhall led by our cio via bluejeans

the topic is: what is #blockchain?

I interviewed at a place recently that was going to use blockchain in the online voting app the were developing as a means to have ensure security and integrity. Seemed like a pretty decent use of it. right?

Azathoth posted:

So, their idea is to either throw out the idea of the votes being private, which is pretty goddamn important, or implement a blockchain to track who voted and a separate system to track how they voted, or encrypt the vote on the blockchain and pray like hell that said encryption is never found to be flawed or broken by decades of technological advancement?

Or is "blockchain" indistinguishable from "database" nowadays?

gently caress...

I guess I assumed it meant encrypted results that get passed around back to the destintation, where they would count votes.

I was bamboozled

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

somebody is spray paiting their handle, ubuntu, around town and last time I saw it I thought of how I would get this quote into a stencil sprayed next to it
