To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.
Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.
I had exactly 0 intention of ever buying anything from Adobe.
Inkscape gave me an alternative to the high seas. And it happens to do everything I need it to, although it’s way more powerful than the simple vector graphics conversions I use it for.
10/10, Adobe never lost money from me getting Inkscape. They lost the game before they knew I was a player.
In this particular instance it reminds me of trees like this:
However, in general I agree that it can be off-putting.
It was.
In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.
I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.
Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.
Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.
I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.
Oddly, I did not get the job
$5 delivery
Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.
The last time I used skype, it was to monitor my 3d print because I needed to finish a project and my last attempt went all spaghetti.
So as I was at work I’d log into my computer from my phone, call myself with skype, and check to make sure everything was still okay.
Then I discovered octoprint.
Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…
But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.
It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.
I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn’t know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.
They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.
So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”
They had an app store?
Depends on what I’m playing.
I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.
I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.
Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.
The problem is not the price.
The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.
Her logic IS undeniable.
You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.
But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don’t believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they’ll prove it to you!
I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.
Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.
"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "
Well I sure hope it does!
It would be pretty weird it if floated on cedar trees.
10/10 you can see little spider webs with moisture beads
