Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home
  • I do not know if the setting is an Entra setting, I don't have access. I'm just friendly with IT. This is what I believe they were talking about given their description. But not tracking, no. It's basically a here/not here situation. You're either tethered to local networking or not.

  • Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home
  • It's not just a self reporting feature it seems. Our IT accidentally turned it on (as I understand) for a day by adding building info to one of the supervisors account. It then showed if you were in the same location (building) than your supervisor.

  • Maker of Ozempic and Wegovy faces grilling over high cost of weight loss drugs
  • The sugar issue took decades to get us here and will take decades to get us out. It's not an overnight cause and effect. Meanwhile, my doctor thinks ozempic should be in the drinking water (tongue in cheek of course) because of the good it would do to society with immediate results.

  • Imagining car-free streets: Sunday will bring Boise’s first-ever ‘Open Streets’ event
  • I live on this street. Honestly, it gets more foot traffic already than much of the town. There's a school and many of the kids walk home. Which is rare in Boise. Unfortunately, the highway district has turned the street into a stroad and much of the day has a ton of car traffic at decent speeds.

    But I am not buying the idea that they're promoting foot traffic and busses so much as working with the three new(ish) businesses on the street to promote gentrification.

  • White officer who fatally shot Black man shouldn’t have been in his backyard, judge rules in suit
  • And that's where things usually break down. Where nothing of reasonable consequence will happen to an officer/murderer. The fact that this part is news. When a judge rules against a police officer's conduct when blatantly in the wrong (and that happens all the goddamn time)... Well that just speaks volumes.

  • Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
  • She was probably a bit overzealous I'm thinking, yeah. But that is a thankless job with low pay and little success. I give social workers a ton of latitude. I'm glad you stayed calm in the face of things.

  • Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
  • Oh yeah, I totally get the lifestyle. Done enough overloading to really appreciate the lifestyle. But I'm trying to explain things from their point of view. Even if now, you are in control and everything is going according to your plans, they see trouble in months if not years when those plans abruptly change. They know how most people got from point A to point B and are now sleeping in shelters or dark corners of "civilization".

  • Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?
  • Living in an SUV is often the first step to really needing their help. Housing insecurity is a quick road to pretty rough living. If you are in their system, in their eyes, they can actually act quickly and help you when the likely next step happens. Not being in the system is pretty slow to get help in most places.

  • US Schools are replacing blacktop with greenery to avoid the heat island effect
  • You're right. I guess it just feels like painting a bursting dam to me. And the shootings are weighing heavier on me. I'm glad we're doing something positive. It's just hard to appreciate when my mental image of a school is fear and tragedy. It's probably a me thing

  • US Schools are replacing blacktop with greenery to avoid the heat island effect
  • Please don't take my comment as a light-hearted jab at the idea of school shooters. But rather, it's a scathing commentary on fixing something like parking lots when children are dying. Maybe I didn't do a good job of it but that was my intent.
