Oh god, please don’t make me talk about myself.
Switched to Firefox in 2023 and it’s wild how much shit just works now.
It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.
There’s a sandwich shop around Vancouver that’s only open like 10-2 on weekdays so I hardly ever get to go, but they get their bread from a local bakery every morning and it makes all the difference. It’s a simple turkey and cheddar sandwich, lettuce, tomato, pickle, a hint of mayo and Dijon mustard, but the ingredients are all quality and, again, the bread is fresh and super soft.
My job absolutely fucking sucks but the money’s good and I need insurance so I can’t leave without having anything lined up, and the market for IT jobs is absolutely dogshit right now so I’ve had zero hits on the apps I’ve put out.
I hate capitalism.
I get this with a young (30’s) CEO at a small business. Dude has literally zero follow through, he will ask for things, you will do them, he will forget he asked for them, and then complain you didn’t do an entirely unrelated thing that he never asked for. I am genuinely astounded at how he makes it to the office the few days he’s actually here.
Yeah, definitely misread that myself.
To OP, I see a lot of people with anthro PFPs posting from Pawb, maybe look into that instance?
I do nice things for other people when I’m up to it, but I hesitate to call myself a ‘nice person’ because niceness isn’t necessarily an intrinsic quality, in the same way that I can be a transient dumbass at times without thinking of myself as an idiot.
Respecting the LGBTQ+ community.
As a lifelong customer of Dwarven Forge, I understand your pain.
“I’m especially good at defenestrating!”
I look like the archetypical IT guy. 30s, balding, overweight, like I’m constantly about to have a nervous breakdown (I am.)
I mean, let’s not pretend Ford was paying his employees well and setting workweek standards because it was the right thing to do either - he did it because he wanted to retain productive employees and also to make them customers, and that it happened to actually be beneficial for them and the working world at large is a byproduct. Not often mentioned with that $5 workday is the fact that he would send agents to employees’ homes to ensure they were being kept clean and that the employees themselves weren’t drinking.
No discredit to R.E.M. but my world’s been ending for over a decade and I feel like dogshit constantly. Nobody told me the apocalypse would be heralded by the dumbest fucking cryptobros and AI prompters the world’s ever seen.
Meta acquiring Oculus
As someone with industry experience working with VR, I can tell you it’s a mixed bag. I think there’s certainly no way Oculus (and consumer VR in general) takes off the way it did without Facebook’s dollars behind it, and it’s certainly paved the way to the outstanding quality of standalone HMDs that are on offer today. However, it killed the initiative for PCVR hardware with the non-consolation that Meta, Pico, and HTC offer “Link mode” on all their headsets and it’s iffy on good days, which makes B2B PCVR very difficult to facilitate without some serious legwork on lowering latency over the air connections. Would that we could revive the Rift S, that headset was perfect for our needs.
Dark Disciples 1 and 2, including the temple of eternity module.
A group of friends uses “based and budfilled” mostly sarcastically.
Same, not like I’m gonna need them.
My next board and all for the foreseeable future will be AMD. I’m only rocking a 13600K right now and I haven’t had any issues, but the last bios update I did specifically to get the first microcode update wiped my GPU drivers, and the gigabyte update platform installed Norton and some other network monitoring software without my consent.
