Yeah but I don’t think that’s marketing, if you’re going to a con for something, you’re likely very passionate about it and passionate people love to scoop up everything they can that relates to their beloved hobby or franchise.
Also, nerds tend to have a good amount of disposable income on that stuff
I highly recommend spending a couple bucks on Vinegar, it blocks ads and allows for PiP
Most private trackers have some sort of bonus point system now where you earn points per hour of seeding per torrent, regardless of how much data you actually upload. You can then use those points to buy upload credit and raise your ratio
I know Bubsy 3D is notoriously bad but how are the others?
There is on Fortnite, it consistently has ~12k concurrent users
Sport-video is fantastic. Sucks that the creator got drafted to fight for Ukraine but his wife has been doing a great job running the site
There’s… other sports besides American Football
If you are a fan of Banjo Kazooie and/or Ocarina of Time, Jiggies of Time is a must-play
As for actual lying, with HR and AI HR hiring, its about getting in front of a person so they can actually find out your skills
But then what do you do once you get in front of an actual person and they ask you something about a lie you put in to appease the AI?
Ah, ok. What a strange default. Almost makes me think they chose that as the default to be rage bait
The fairness meter at the bottom of the article is absurd. “Unfair left leaning” like yes, how dare the libtards use statistics to show how broken our economy is
Surely there’s some sort of sandboxing that could be done? Like start by disallowing sys calls entirely
I’m so weird about this. If I’m sitting or slightly reclined, I can sleep fine without a blanket. Once I’m horizontal, 100% need a blanket
For the ones that have hazing rituals, pecking orders, and 80+ active members, yeah I agree with you.
I joined a small (~20 active members) STEM major fraternity and it was incredible. No one took it too seriously and it was just treated like a social club, which is all a fraternity is really supposed to be. It was a great way to quickly meet people with shared interests, which yeah, you don’t need a fraternity to do that, but it made things much easier for introverted, socially anxious me. Plus, STEM majors aren’t exactly the type to chat with people next to them before lecture
Man, I love Louis but your complaint about rambling is so valid. It only caters to the people who already agree with him and scares away people who would otherwise be convinced by the same points delivered in a better manner
Edit: since the other summaries aren’t really helpful imo, Louis is saying that Clippy is representative of a time when Microsoft software worked perfectly fine without an internet connection and served to simply help you get work done instead of use you as a revenue source
I’ve been a software engineer for almost 10 years now and lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to doing something else. I went into the field because coding and computing in general are genuine passions of mine but I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly. I also feel like most of the coworkers I’ve had over the years don’t have any genuine interest or intrinsic motivation, and are just in it because it pays well - which I don’t fault them for, especially in the current economy, but they’re much more likely to put up with being treated like shit.
I just don’t know what else I would do. Teaching high school CS seems fun but I’m pretty sure making that transition would take a couple years, since I gotta get a teaching degree and be a student teacher and all that, and I’m not sure I have the patience for that
That’s because a lot of people in this community are techies, most people don’t have the skills to setup a seed box so it’s much easier to just go to a streaming site in their phone browser
Also sometimes they juice up their numbers to appear more popular
The bane of my existence before it hit Paramount+
Now you can find individual episodes as WEB-DL
