  • Most EHS departments are like most HR departments. Perception management to benefit 1) the department and 2) the company. Any possible way EHS can use lax regulations (most places outside the EU) to avoid accountability, it will happen in nearly every circumstance.

    I worked in EHS for a time. The amount of scab, toxic and corrupt behavior I saw made me NOPE out of that career field real fast. EHS got more people fired and swept more incidents under the rug than anyone else. Masters of gaslighting and virtue signaling.

    Of course there will be exceptions, and I’m sure you’re one of them.

    A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…

    Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.

    Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.





  • Not sure whether this would meet you or anyone competent’s criteria for “good”, but here is mine:

    • Syncthing my Calibre Library folder on my primary PC
    • Mobius Sync to my iPhone
    • Load books (saved in main folder by author name sortable by date modified) or news (they’re saved in “calibre” folder by publication name) to iOS Books app or PDF in native Files app

    That way I load whatever I am currently reading.




  • Just wanted to follow-up on my comment. I was thinking about it today, and I believe ProPublica or some professional journalist or grad school student should engage in a project to study the underlying factors that drive poor VA outcomes. I’m sure it’s been done, but it would be nice to see some more research.

    I would be willing to bet there are significant correlation in terms of VA system health outcomes and a range of socioeconomic variables (demographics, voting patterns, etc.).

    My hypothesis is that, just like most government outcomes, the most conservative areas also treat veterans the worst and disapprove a shockingly high percentage of disability claims. Having this information in the public domain might influence reforms at the worst-offending VA / VBA systems.
