I suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.

I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.

No.

• most people don’t know about it
• many actual children won’t care
• many “gamers” are little better than children

Interesting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.

In addition to all the other ways conservatives are assholes, many of them are also this kind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro-masculinity

I would recommend the invite tracking. Keep track of who invites bad actors, even higher order. If your friend’s friends suck, that should reflect a little on you. If no one has vouched for you, then you’re less trusted.

It’s the usual “there must be in groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out groups for the law to bind but not protect” thing as always.

They wanted small government when it suited their desires. Their desires, as conservatives, are usually bad. Pollution, exploration, segregation, etc.

“request desktop site” usually gets rid of the app nag.

I never post there anymore but there’s a lot of useful stuff from the old days.

I can’t tell if people who do that kind of thing are lazy and malicious, actually stupid, or stressed beyond their capacity to be decent.

I do think a lot of people are actually only semi literate, and asking them to write is legitimately difficult and embarrassing for them.

I worked with several former teachers in my software career. They were all smart patient people. Software jobs making shit for rich people to get richer paid more than double for less work.

I knew another teacher who was on food stamps because her salary was so low.

Our society values stupid shit. It invests in stupid shit. We are lead by assholes and fools.

You should be allowed to pin him down and diarrhea in his mouth, if they make you come in sick.

That’s a good point.

Though sometimes people are just sandbagging. Like I know one guy is just watching Netflix instead of working. I’m downstream from his work, so it’s a little annoying that I have to wait a couple days to get started.

I wouldn’t rat him out because my labor solidarity beats out my annoyance, but the annoyance is real.

One time we spent like more than an hour in a horrible meeting to plan out how long the next step of a project would take. 4 weeks, we said. Management came back and said to do it in 2. Well, why did we fucking have the meeting if they had a deadline in mind already?

On the other hand, at my current job I have seen a lot of “oh that’s going to take a couple days” protests for things that are 20 minutes of work.

Seems like the solution is to get rid of out of touch management.

I deeply dislike sarcasm. It’s neither funny nor helpful.

There was a guy I worked with that was pretty much always sarcastic.[1]. I’d ask him if he’d written the run book yet and he’d say like “Yes, it’s written in the style of a sonnet with hand drawn illustrations”, and I’d be like “I don’t know if that means you wrote it or not”. Everything with him took extra steps because his communication was such a swamp of insincerity.

[1] well, when I asked him to stop being sarcastic he said it wasn’t sarcasm. He was merely being ironic. Nonsense.

He shouldn’t be allowed to keep going.

Valve makes drm easy but I’m pretty sure the developer can choose to not include it. It’d be on you to back up the files in that case, though.

A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.

I’m just waiting for some RTO’d workers to be told they’re being mass laid off, and instead they just beat the manager to death. The irony of it only being possible because they were forced back into the office will be delicious.

When the proposal was first announced back in 2012, there was a predictable backlash from residents, who believed that affordable housing would bring crime into the area and lower property values; and head of the North San Rafael Coalition of Residents Carolyn Lenert said that the project was “inciting class warfare”.

It’s only class warfare when the rich are hurt. Or mildly uncomfortable.

Cars and car-first infrastructure have been massively bad ecologically, socially, and environmentally.

The people at work who use AI the most know the least. They add very little value. AI is rather anti-labor in that way.

I’d also rather have some people who are slow and competent than fast and hallucinating
