and it is quite disheartening

@TimStone There is what looks like a reasonable rationale in there about him overstepping his authority and/or acting outside the bounds of his responsibilities

in our extended team we have 2 women out of 10 technical roles, plus 1/3 product owners and 0/2 team leaders

@murgatroid99 I think part of the problem is the timing.

@murgatroid99 Yeah, but it's odd of them to bring up that point and not the one where he gave a false statement about the extent of the later emails some days ago

@TimStone right

but hey both of our lady devs choose Linux over OSX or Windows ^_^

(and our lady PO is the only Windows user)

CLEARLY THE PROBLEM IS WITH OS X

@TimStone I'm not saying it's not dumb, but I think that "it's about the emails" is overly reductive

@murgatroid99 the given rationale is how comey handled the investigation into her emails

that poor guy can't win for lose.

also given how little trump seems to care for the integrity of government institutions and the traditions of his office, the provided rationale doesn't add up

@badp poor macos

"Thanks for that thing you said about Clinton that led to me getting elected and not investigating me over Russia but you suck at your job."

if Trump had come into office and behaved differently, i'd be willing to give the benefit of the doubt

@murgatroid99 The "he shouldn't have closed the investigation into Clinton's emails" bit is just pure fodder for his base though. If they actually had concerns about that they could have dismissed Comey back when Trump decided to keep him, and this is just a basis for them doing so

but he has fucked up too many things to deserve it anymore IMO

that whole paragraph about "Thanks for telling me I was not being investigated" sounds so out of place to begin with.

It's just a pretty reasonable excuse, all things considered, because he did go too far

@TimStone but the timing of it is also suspect. why wait 100 days?

@TimStone didn't that information about his false testimony just come out recently? it's possible they have been crafting those letters for a long time now

@GodEmperorDune No, absolutely. They want to get rid of him for other reasons, I wouldn't immediately assume what those are but I'm sure there's another underlying issue

We could say it's the whole Russia investigation thing but as it comes on Sessions' recommendation it might be that the FBI isn't being as aggressive as the AG wants them to be too, for example

@TimStone yeah it smells like that

or trump just wants a super loyalist and was waiting for a news cycle to disrupt

I hope he realizes that the next person who comes into that office could investigate the whole Russia hacking the election thing.... ( Sorry if I just repeated something someone said )

@KutuluMike Yeah, unclear how long it's been in the works

@Elizer except the trump administration will probably look for someone who wants to "lock her up" instead of investigate the russia stuff

@GodEmperorDune wait

@GodEmperorDune Good point

did we ever see hrc after the election?

@Avery yeah she takes selfies in the woods with joggers near her house now

@GodEmperorDune that was proven photoshop

PFFT, WHAT?!

aveenmod conspiracytheories

@Avery perhaps all of the bridge is in on it too

@Ash huh, that's... nice to hear

@Avery perhaps HRC is one of @ash's socks

Oh

I messed up and rejected the edit on this

that'd just make the loss of election worse

But it definitely needs to be approved

plus they wouldn't lose anyways

@Avery the assimilation will not be announced or voted upon

It might be voted on

but they will route stuff through russia and hack it to win anyways

^the links in the answer now redirect to porn and the edit was removing the links

@Avery @ash has mentioned that they were learning russian

Hey, how much reputation does one need to reject edits and things like that?

🤔

@Elizer 2k

IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW

@Avery K. Thanks.

@Vemonus worst kind of link rot

@Elizer gaming.stackexchange.com/help/privileges

Hi @Vemonus !

and thank you for the link!

Hi

@GodEmperorDune reminds me of this thing (text and voice nsfw I guess)

@Avery what is the context of this?

@GodEmperorDune joel tryig to find a sketchy antivirus, going to like page 50 on google and clicking a link

it was on windows 10 destruction

minecraft->ports++

so twitter is coming up with interesting FBI director replacements

did they propose @twobugs yet

@badp yes, RIP @twobugs is on the shortlist

trump wants an inadequate investigation after all

so good

wiat

I just kinda catched up

so trump fired the fbi head, right?

Ye

he picks another one.

FBI director is an appointed position. frankly it's stunning the guy lasted this long.

mostly because he f'ed up Hillary's campaign so I guess Trump thought he owed him a few months?

Given Trump's track record with appointments for other positions, what are the odds that he appoints an actual criminal as FBI head?

@murgatroid99 why not go all out and appoint Putin himself?

@GodEmperorDune Ye. Sounds good.

@GodEmperorDune Do you really think Putin would be satisfied with running just the FBI?

@murgatroid99 oh he wouldn't give up running the KGB too

@murgatroid99 Maybe he'll appoint Shiller, the bodyguard he sent to deliver the termination notice to Comey

t_d pls

is anyone at home privately and can anyone verify this edit's claims and the links now all go to porn sites?

Well that seems particularly savage

@Memor-X yes

it does redirect to a tumblr dedicated to porn.

Wee! Painting day!

@Avery ahh ok. just that i thought that the wording may scare some people off from double checking and give the editor the benefit of the doubt

I should run some stuff and see broken links etc

LOL, brutal

@Memor-X that's a big, solid affirmative.

@KutuluMike i'm trying to ignore the pun there

i tried to restrain myself.

good one.

@TimStone twitter is so shady today

@KutuluMike hue

@GodEmperorDune I don't think anyone has ever been subtweeted by so many institutions

weirdest part is that it redirects to tumblr, which I believe has no ad revenue share

and, clearly, no content policy.

Actually they do.

Tumblr actually has a fairly extensive content policy. It simply doesn't include banning most kinds of NSFW content.

I believe the nsfw parts are mostly just following US laws and banning nsfw videos to be directly uploaded on tumblr (and not just linked).

yup, pmuch that

Also, you have to mark your blog as NSFW if you post NSFW content

Also, there's the extensive content policy. It's reasonable, imo.

unrelated, i'm looking for a new cloud backup provider, anyone have suggestions?

@GodEmperorDune backup for?

@Avery home pc

onedrive is being annoying and i've filled up most of my google drive already

I use online.net/en/c14

@GodEmperorDune I use Backblaze. Pretty happy with them.

C14 is kinda complicated, but yeah, backblaze is good too.

@Avery so you pay the full operation price every time you send data to c14?

or you do a big archive and then differentials?

It's kinda complicated: You need to create a vault and then upload stuff to it and then put it to cold storage (if you don't do it by hand, it does it in 7 days or so), then you can pay a tiiny fee to get it back up again. But in the end, I can store tons of copies of my /home backups for less than a dollar a month (but well, my /home folder is small). That might be too much hassle for some, and that's where backblaze proves to be great.

@Avery yeah i think my use case might be different

i have a bunch of baby pictures and stuff that will be added to frequently

Oh. Then, yeah, backblaze.

kk

or what gcp has to offer

because azure is expensive azure pro much use azure

nah fuck azure

i heard they can delete stuff from your storage that they disagree with

oh

i don't want them fucking with my baby pictures over some algorithmic misunderstanding
