FINALLY a version of this meme I can upvote.

So you're saying, let's maybe not hurry to vote for the Orcas Sinking People's Boats party? That's probably good advice actually.

It's difficult to answer without a better understanding on your customers' workloads and how those trigger your outages. There's a bunch of valid angles from which to look at this.

If your product consistently buckles under customer workloads that they paid to be able to run, it sounds like you have either an underprovisioning or an overcommitment problem.

If you accept customer workload spikes that you don't have the resources to serve but would be able to process if they were more spread over time, it sounds like you have an admission control problem.

If it's a matter of adding resources to respond to customer activity spikes and you just have to do it manually, it sounds like you have an automation problem.

If your pager load is becoming such that you can't do project work to address whichever ones of the above are relevant to you, it's time to hand the pager back to devs. If you don't have the institutional authority to hand back the pager to devs, it sounds like you have a management problem.

No.

The French have started using new typographic conventions to turn nouns and adjectives neutral, or at least dual-gendered. French is a deeply gendered language by default, so for instance the word for author is "auteur" if the author is male and "autrice" if the author is female. If unknown, then... The author is assumed male.

This is of course not great, and so the French people have started using constructions like "auteur.ice" or somesuch in order to include both options in the word. This approach appears to have become reasonably popular.

The French right wing is EXTREMELY upset about this and is seeking to get it outright banned (they may already have succeeded actually).

As far as I understand this museum is the brainchild of the fascist party RN and is entirely about the French language as the right wing thinks it should be spoken, as opposed to how it actually is. So, just yet another instance of taxpayer-funded reactionary crap.

Spoilers. ❤️

But seriously, maybe it just didn't work for you and that's okay. Nothing is everything to everyone.

The actor in the picture on that site looks like Richard Harris, not Michael Gambon. -_-

If you're using UEFI there is nothing to reinstall. The installed bootloaders are still there in the UEFI partition, Windows just changed which one is set as the default. There are tools you can use, such as EasyUEFI (if I remember correctly), to revert the default to Grub or refind or systemd-boot, whichever you're using.

Outstanding.

I don't know what it is about it, but this picture is absolutely gorgeous.

Stopping fascism wasn't the point. After liberating the camps, they even threw the homosexuals right back in. (Source)

They were just worried that the USSR was going to beat them to Berlin, and then keep going across the entirety of Europe. Likely a valid concern, to be fair.
