Oh neat! I seem to remember some of the blob monster tech being found a long time ago, I think it was datamined from another Valve game or something.

Nice to see it officially aknowledged and some real footage.

Is it islamophobic to point out that their holy prophet had a bride that is widely believed to have been between six and nine years old when they married, and to have been nine years old when the marriage was consumated?

I get that isn't explicitly encouraging it, but I've never heard of any context that in any way justifies their prophet having sex with a nine year old (not that any possibly could).

You didn't specifically account for the edge case I personally identify with, which means you're just the absolute worst!

I only skim read your comment and missed the context, so now I'm going to attack a strawman you didn't say!

Most people on Lemmy prefer Mastodon, as it's not run by a corporation, and is federated like Lemmy. It's also built off the same underlying protocol, meaning it's interoperable with lemmy.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It's the first time I've seen this claim and would like to know more.

Fuck everything about that. A family emergency is an emergency. This is only within the ballpark of reasonable if you don'g have the time off to spend and need to have the hours in.

Apologies if you've heard this before:

Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that's you failing.

If your boss can't find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that's them failing.

Likewise if you tell them you can't get something done because you're only one person, it's their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they're just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.

More features for our employee account lifecycle automations. The coding isn't as much the hard part as keeping track of all the different moving pieces and how it all interacts.

For example, when using Azure Enterprise App user provisioning to sync data into AD from an HR system, it can only set the Name (separate from DisplayName) property when creating a new user. This limitation isn't documented anywhere I can find, and it doesn't even show as an error in the logs when it tries to update an existing one and fails.


It's the curse of "one man army": this shit is too complicated to keep it all in my head at one time, and also too complicated to bring anyone up to speed in a reasonable time frame. So I'll continue soldiering on with it on my own. Thankfully the end is in sight.

Don't do this sort of shit for any boss that isn't worth it. Mine has no overtime expectations, is very obviously training me to move upward within the team, and each of the last two years I've gotten >10% raises.

There's a decent amount of evidence that they weren't given the time they needed by Rockstar, that they intentionally shipped it out with a shit ton of behind the scenes files in an attempt to assist modders (at the very least it was shoved out the door so fast they didn't have time to clean the files out of the release directory, holy shit), and members of the studio have repeatedly and consistently reported that they were not permitted by Rockstar to release many bug fixes after the remasters released.

Rockstar holds the biggest blame for this one.

Everyone else has covered most of it, but another "neat" tidbit: To my knowledge, 4chan's protests and hacktivism against scientology was the largest coordinated action that community has ever taken.

Fucking 4chan. Land of the worst the public facing internet has to offer. Despite all their fucking racism, sexism, homophobia, supremacists... just overall despicableness... they came together in united action against this group.

NIST is a US government org that releases industry guidlines on best practices for cybersecurity.

I know that infosec and sysadmin work aren't the same, but in my experience it often falls to sysadmins and systems engineers to fill the gaps. Hope this is useful.

Soichi Terada is a House music artist who was popular in Japan in the 90s. Outside of Japan, he's mostly known for his soundtrack work on the PS1 game Ape Escape.

This is one of his covers/arrangements/remixes, where he plays around with elements of another song. Not quite sure what to classify it as, otherwise I'd label it in the title.

I find his music to have a pretty distinct style, and I like using it as background while I study, code, or do other work.

I'm looking for a free, reputable ad blocker on the Play Store. Something that does local host/filter list filtering using the VPN feature, like Blokada 4 or 5 (before they started cloud hosting the filtering features as a money/data grab).

Personally, I'm no stranger to F-Droid or Obtanium and even have dipped my toes into ADB.

I need this for family members when they start asking, so I can point them at something decent that won't try to fleece them and get on with my life unburdened by family tech support hell. Something they can install through the Play Store they already have and easily switch on and off if something they "need" isn't working.

So that eliminates just setting their DNS to an ad blocking one in their Wi-Fi settings. Wouldn't follow them off that specific connection, and wouldn't be an easy toggle if something broke.

Microsoft's documentation for revoking user access from Azure AD currently references cmdlets from the AzureAD PowerShell module, which will be deprecated on June 30th.

Microsoft reccomends using the MSGraph module or API as a replacement for the AzureAD module, but I'm having a hell of a time with it.

I'm trying to figure out how to use PoweShell to wipe corporate data off a user's BYODs, and I'm stuck trying to get a list of a user's BYODs through Graph. Ultimately this will be part of automation kicked off when a user leaves the company.

Queries for devices and managed devices for a given user seem to be missing devices that are shown through Azure Portal when looking at a user in Azure AD and then looking at their devices. The query for deleting data is also unclear in whether it wipes the whole device or just corporate data.

Does anyone have any resources or guidance on this? Most of what I'm finding is outdated or too vague for me to be comfortable utilizing it.
