I used to book flights with aggregators. After an experience with Priceline (owned by booking.com) I will never, ever again.

Had to cancel a flight due to the whole family getting COVID. When we tried rebooking using the credit, we had to call in to a special number to deal with an agent. This agent had a different flight price list than what was publicly listed - and of course the agent’s prices were higher. They were so much higher that it was cheaper for us to throw our credit out and book online than to use our credit and book through the agent.

We spent hours railing against this. Calling, calling back, trying different agents, calling the airline, ombudsman, etc. I even wrote with receipts, call, and chat logs to CBC’s Go Public but never heard back.

Are they a registered charity in Canada?

Where, when, and in what context was that said? I can’t find anything on it.

I use Tuta, though will probably switch to something a little more agnostic like Mailbox.org when I’m up for renewal.

I’m one of the people who is happy with my Nextcloud setup (outside of never quite getting only office to work in browser after I hooked it all up to a reverse proxy behind HTTPS), but I always try to keep my eye on developments in the space for a potential better solution. I looked at OCIS a while back, but it didn’t have the quality of life features that I enjoy to make it worth me switching from a working Nextcloud deployment.

Does OCIS have a desktop client that supports on-demand file synchronization (a la OneDrive) rather than just selective folder sync? Does it support storing files as is in a natural directory structure or is everything stored as a flat file blob? Is it able to handle external storage even if that external storage is physical storage on a container mount point?

I use this. Found it to be the best of the bunch in terms of button functionality, layout, and mouse control.

Does NWN2 have a strong modding scene?

I played a shitload of NWN and that would have been my pick, but from my recollection NWN2 multiplayer custom servers died when Obsidian put in the (insane) requirement to download terrain meshes outside of the game.

I haven’t circled back to the NWN2 enhanced edition to see if that was ever reworked.

Also curious of what the other segment really is

Nintendo Switches, Nvidia Shield, and G-Force Now?

The icons beside Other (Eye, Car, Factory) have me guessing surveillance, automotive, and industrial.

I believe more like Lutris?

I don’t use it for launching anything - so I cannot compare on that front - but as my definitive catalogue and organization tool as it plugs in to basically every library. I even have it hooked up to my instance of RomM.

That was a great rabbit hole to fall in.

I don’t use Mastodon, but I absolutely appreciate the sentiment here.

This is the level of pedantry I can get behind.

How much more modern are we talking? I’ve a 72 whr battery in my 2017 Yoga 720 that is a slim pouch.

Or rather, how old is your last/current laptop. Or is it a workstation replacement brick?

You’ve said something with such absolute certainty that is not making sense to me.

Now I’m not versed in Japanese tax law, but Japan does follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). I’m also not versed in the capitalization of video game development expenses.

A business is going to write down their asset based on their ability to generate future revenue from it. With Concord dead on arrival, it would be fair to say that they would write down everything related to the individual game development. If they left any asset on the books it would be related to the IP/trademarks/copyrights/etc (maybe some transferrable technology if they are getting really specific).

I’m not able to make the connection between issuing takedowns on community servers/videos and the accounting write off of an impaired asset. Issuing takedowns seems more in line with IP protection.

I don’t have an answer for you but I will say I am jazzed to learn there is a hostable version of Orca.

Which I would have learned earlier had I read the article!

I can’t speak for the USA, but typically in Canada (Ontario) people would not want to return to the employer but force a greater settlement.

Also, in Ontario, an employer that is found to be union busting would result in automatic certification of the union - no vote needed.

Link dead?
