You know the end might be coming when the PerlMonks website is more reliable than the @vscode.dev update servers…

Are you even in IT if half the photos on your phone aren’t pictures of serials numbers?

Truth. #IT #sysadmin

I think one of the toughest things about being an Albertan online is constantly feeling like I need to apologize and tell people I'm not one of "them".

As much as I don't want 2, because of the current political situation, it's what is right and how things SHOULD be. I absolutely agree!

So in the end I had to take a screenshot so I could fully read the message and see what the issue actually was!

The requirements aren't insane but if your entered password doesn't meet them it gives you an error message. Great right? NO! The error message is in a GREEN banner which suggests things went fine! Moreover, this banner disappears automatically before any normal person could finish reading it!

SonicWall (OS 7 in particular) has some of the worst UI design I've ever seen. Trying to change a user's password. The password didn't meet the requirements (usable symbols are restricted, which grrr, and the password needed 2 numbers).

As a father, I was completely unprepared for what raising a daughter would be like. Girls can be so mean. And they don't forget things. They find ways to take revenge. Daughter's former friend got into her school Google account and started sending mean messages as my daughter. It's been a long week.

Well Chuck Norris has returned to his throne so now God can take a break and Chuck can fix the mess He made.

Just saw the preview of osTicket 2.0. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it yet. I guess I'll see once it's out but the reactionary side of me thinks the UI was changed for the sake of changing the UI. It looks like a clone of a modern email client. But I'll try to keep an open mind upon release.

Some very fortunate news, there was 1 week of warranty left so Specsavers gave us new frames for half price and work benefits paid for all but $12.50 of those. We walked out with repaired glasses without any wait!

Yes, I should have mentioned first, that he's fine, aside from being upset about his glasses.

Just when I feel like I'm getting caught up, my kid breaks his glasses at school playing dodgeball.

This year and economy is determined to see my family homeless, that's for sure.

I don’t always watch HGTV but when I do they’re showing the same clip show they were showing the only other time I’ve ever turned on <insert show name here>.

Fantastic game! First time I saw it I was so excited. I didn't even know what to call the genre at the time but I was happy that it was 1942/1943 but with better graphics!

One hundred accounts are behind the majority of conspiracy theory content in Canada Researchers analyzed more than 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada and found that 87 per cent of conspiratorial claims come from influencers, with just 100 users responsible for near...

“Conspiracy theories about globalist cabals, climate hoaxes and election fraud may seem ubiquitous on social media. But a report has found that they come from a tiny minority of users…
just 100 users were responsible for almost 70% of online conspiracy posts…”

I think Chris Cuthbert is an unsung hero for Canada at these Olympics. The amount of games he's called play-by-play for is unreal! How does he even have a voice still?!

If there’s anything Apple’s FaceID had taught me it’s that you can fool facial recognition software by picking your nose (I know this because of… SCIENCE!)

So if you live in the US or anywhere using facial recognition software: Forget social norms and pick your nose when out in public!

Vile, grumpy, racist old man is outraged that he’s not the target audience for a Super Bowl half-time show.

I’m absolutely shocked…

One of the underrated perks of being an adult is getting to eat peanut butter straight from the jar with a spoon.

Born in 1977 and am in Alberta Canada!

TFW: Amazon says your order will be delivered today but it hasn't even shipped yet…

In the last week I've had 2 people tell me I look like I've lost weight. I'm pretty sure that exceeds my lifetime quota for compliments so now I guess I can just die or something? 😂

Yikes! I’ve been using Librewolf and had no idea just how much Firefox has snuck in, in the last year!

I’m impressed my smoke and CO detector expired 10 years and 1 month after installation. But did it have to expire at 11:30pm?!

Sorry I meant to say I'm currently living here as well as born and raised here.

I sure do! The reason I added you was because I decided to try and search for Bluesky users from / in Medicine Hat. years ago, I got into Twitter just because there was a bunch of locals that all connected there, before it turned too crazy for many of us. :) Thanks for accepting the follow!

I'd love to know how Apple devices know that I'm reaching for the screen to prevent it from turning off so that it can promptly turn the screen off and make me unlock it again. EVERY. TIME.

Waited in line for 2 hours to vote. It was an absolute disorganized mess at the polling station! #medhat #yxh
