I don’t know if they’re all bastards, but HR is absolutely not your friend. Human Resources <> protections for employees. Instead, Human Resources = protection for the company

The nintendo lawyers are gonna have to remind themselves not to send cease and desists to this place. Yknow, since the historical records housed there inherently infringe on various nintendo copyrights /s

times like these, I feel pretty shitty about how the world and I have condemned my kids to suffer the water wars in a handful of years

Why did I just read an article about using an iPod that was clearly written by someone born in the early-mid 2000s? I know the original ipod was fun. I was there, gandalf

Replace those first two panels with sneaky napping and this is perfect

This is the one

this was my first thought too

Better to stay put, accept slightly less money for another year and look at it again when I’ve got the time and energy to cope with it.

but Watch Out

Seriously, though, this is hitting the nail on the head. That dangling carrot of job security can be so exploitative when there’s so many unknowns (many of them confidence-based in a dev’s situation). I’ve heard that little evil voice (recently) telling me “yeah, you could probably go back to physical labor when you can’t find any more work as a dev. you’ll do okay out there”

I work hard for my company. But paying me raises to deal with inflation? Rewarding my efforts and loyalty? Why bother when they can just hold out and pay my identical wage to someone greener and less jaded in a couple short years?

I mean, I would prefer to stay at the same place than hopping around, but I’ve never gotten a raise that pays as good as a new job at a different company

/* 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be “sqlite_”. But then Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it started putting files with the “sqlite” name in the c:/temp folder. This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a Google search for “sqlite”, find the telephone numbers of the developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be “sqlite” spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid of the file. */

Congrats, sir!

Yeah, we can always make more humans, but cash is forever

The Day After Tomorrow. It is exquisitely bad. In the third act, they run out of ways to make weather the bad guy and randomly drop in a pack of wolves to attack everyone. It’s a hilariously entertaining disaster movie

I might not 100% grasp how this all works yet, but I signed up for lemmy.world and I’m talking to you here on Memmy. Is kbin not supposed to be connected to other instances?

Is that another client? I’m still looking around. I had tried Mlem but it didn’t click for me

It’s in TestFlight currently but it’s getting there

It’s definitely capturing the old electricity. I like it a lot. Finding a good client for using on mobile definitely helps ease the transition, too
