I don’t know but it seems like a lot of people around me are just in a haze. Probably some of it is ADHD.

That sucks. Glad I moved to Linux.
Musk is scum and I’m eagerly awaiting the day he’s no longer shitting up the world.
Fed up with Microsoft. I had a windows 10 computer they said couldn’t update to windows 11, and they said Recall was coming, so I said fuck it. Switched to mint, and now I’m trying pop!_os.
Way back like 10+ years ago I ran Ubuntu for a while, but I play a lot of video games and support was lacking. Wine, proton, and other tools have come a long way since then.
Booleans work in any order. A and B
is the same value as B and A
Unless you’re interpreting the phrase as “have your cake and then eat it too”? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.
I really do not like video as a medium for things that could be written. I don’t really care for “wow look at this wacky thing that happened”. I really dislike videos that are just someone talking at the camera. (Standup comedy gets a pass, but that’s also not something I watch much)
So I’m probably not watching most videos.
I only buy drm free music and then back it up somewhere myself. Bandcamp at least is drm free, but who knows if they’ll turn to shit after being bought and sold.
Buying music on Bandcamp and similar has been good for me. When I got laid off I kept all the music I owned and didn’t have to pay anymore. All these subscription services suck.
Nice! I got about two remorts in, but haven’t played in a while. It’s a pretty solid mud.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Project Bob, which I think shut down. Diablo-style items and a very fast paced combat system. Alas. Time marches on.
200 is a lot of people for a mud. The only one I know of that’s that big is aardwolf. Which do you play?
Hegseth is a cartoon villain that shouldn’t be anywhere near a position of power
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reposted and praised a video interview of a self-described Christian nationalist pastor whose church doesn’t believe women should be allowed to vote.
Just an utter scumbag.
I used to try to explain to management that some debt is high interest.
One of the guys at my old job submitted a PR with tests that basically just mocked everything, tested nothing. Like,
with patch("something.whatever", return_value=True):
assert whatever(0) is True
assert whatever(1) is True
Except for a few dozen lines, with names that made it look like they were doing useful.
He used AI to generate them, of course. Pretty useless.
then it would force them to actually confront the morality of themselves eating meat.
For many people, “I am a good person” is a core belief. An emotionally strong person may be able to look at a challenge to their core beliefs, assess its validity, and adjust. Most people are not emotionally strong. They see this thing like vegetarianism as an attack on their core self. And since they are not emotionally sound people, they lash out or make excuses. That’s easier than accepting maybe they’re not flawless paragons of virtue.
The oatmeal did a comic about this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
D&D webcomic “the order of the stick” also did a comic that touches on it. One of the characters says that people like this, who refuse to look in the mirror and honestly assess maybe they’ve done something bad, are cowards. https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1151.html
And honestly that’s kind of it. People are scared, and scared people are stupid. The big “i eat nothing but MEAT” people are probably, contrary to their posturing, cowards. Worse than children, because they’ll probably never grow up.
People are emotionally invested in eating meat and it’s stupid.
On the one hand, fuck adams. On the other, I appreciated him splitting the idiot and asshole votes between him and cuomo.
Do you actually do work or are you one of those middle-men that add dubious value?
And, like, do you think I can read my coworker’s screen from across the room and be like “Ah yes, that is TransferProjectView.py
. I should tell him that I am also planning on touching that file”?
And adults can learn to explicitly communicate. It’s not impossible. You just type into the box.
I don’t think microsoft understands shit. I think their leaders are out of touch, lying, idiots. They continue to exist based on inertia and past success.
It’s frustrating because management are so colossally, transparently, stupid but they get the big paychecks and the workers get fucked. And then like half the workers sit there going “Well this is just and fair. this is a good world. If the people actually doing the work had more of a say, that’s communism and thus axiomatically bad”
If right wing people were smart they wouldn’t be right wing. Of course they’re going to believe and share AI slop video. They’re emotional driven fools.
