And with the help of Valve, it’ll continue to get better. Hoping companies like EPIC also take note and really start adding things to Unreal to really push Vulcan and Linux. Like, I don’t want a monopoly or anything, but if big companies make big moves towards supporting Linux, others will follow. ( I know Unreal supports Linux, I’m talking like actively pushing tech, support, pushing for games to be compiled for linux, pushing for native code and not needing compatibility layers, etc.)

you can fail upwards, con people and still get out filthy rich.

Only if you con the poors. If you con someone who’s rich or “powerful”, then you get punished.

I have the absolute most respect for any whistleblower. I dread to imagine what kind of world we’d be in w/o them. Example, Snowden.

I hope they win the lawsuit.

I have a feeling it was the oh-so-popular “0 tolerance” policy that she was punished and he wasn’t. Because the policy didn’t cover what he did. And schools these days love to avoid accountability or being adults when it matters.

It’s saddening to me how many times I’ve actually come across this in production.

Just because the code works doesn’t mean it should ship.

I’m not going to apologize or feel bad because of your weak blood. I’ll wear shorts until it’s actually cold.

I’m not going to act like slang back in the day was top-notch all the time. But the “slang” from the last 5 years has been just extra lazy. It really feels like a sad, sad attempt to get like a “viral” word to trend; it seems really social media forced and not natural like it used to be. There’s a reason slang stuck around so long (and some survived) compared to this. To what end, I’m not sure, but idiots still post “first” on youtube videos… so, idk, a race to the bottom, I guess. That is to say, this “slang” is gammy.

Oh how kind of them! They force disconnect an appliance but give you a coupon to buy the latest model.

And the newest model is different how? It’s a thermostat after all.

Whole reason I got one was because of the promised savings (never saw any, from the learning, just bullshit offers that allowed the electric company access…).

Guess it’s back to the tried and true mercury thermostat.

I mean, even like 2018 it wasn’t uncommon to stand in line at my local Chipotle for 15-20 minutes. No DoorDash orders, no online orders. Just really slow workers, but also understaffed, and somehow always waiting for something (rice, veggies, anything from the grill). I mean I can talk that up to poor management.

I remember when the McChicken was a buck.

Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…

That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.

I have had 1 week off the whole year. I have some PTO coming up. I feel guilty using it (even though I shouldn’t).

You forgot to mention, that was was fired from PayPal(?) for being incompetent.

And the engineers he hires are either not that great, or (more likely) are having to play fast and loose due to unrealistic expectations. Like the original hyperloop demo that was setup years ago for a competition, instantly rusted and was secured poorly. It’s since been destroyed.

What’s a way to create a local repo mirror?

When I was a kid, I knew a kid who was (presumed) special needs but also EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I remember being in the 3rd grade and seeing him literally being carried away into a side room at school (probably to get him away from someone). And I mean like some teachers had his arms, and others had his legs, literally suspending him in the air because he wasn’t going willingly to any degree.

He was known for biting and clawing. One time, he flat-out just choked me. He was a known entity in the school.

I have no idea where he ended up. I think his mom ended up putting him in a group home or something because she basically couldn’t overpower him anymore, and he made it known he was pissed at her.

Same. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t just be like “wtf is this, fuck it, give me four”

It was about the goal, not the how.

Sorry but you NPCs aren’t supposed to know that information… It causes issues…

When I was still playing Nintendo games up to the switch, my games were physical.

On PC I have steam. But I still have various install discs from years gone by.

And I have various CDs, DVDs and blu-rays.

I don’t have any streaming subscription services. I canceled all of them a long time ago

I think you mean '99

Due the storm of ‘Bawitdaba’, ‘Only God Knows Why’, and ‘Cowboy’ being released that year and Napster.
