I absolutely call out inaccuracies like this.

Am I German? 👀

Seattle is a mix of rich folks, tech folks, counterculture folks, and holier-than-thou folks. Sometimes, that’s just one dude.

Im excited to live in that world.

Any game that relies on BS DRM like Denuvo that refuses to work for SteamOS can die in a fire.

Most of the are shitty multiplayer games anyways.

We hired a IT guy who had a decade of experience with Windows Servers. The dude was not a good fit for our linux-heavy IT team. Didn’t fully know commands or how the OS worked.

He was still a smart dude, and he moved to the AWS team, where there’s a lot more GUI aid.

As a Linux user, I shit on Linux tutorials being obtuse because the solution is often like “then sudo [command]” and now run these 8 other commands. But at least with Linux commands, a smart person can piece together what’s going on.

Windows, it’s even worse. It’s like a bunch of black boxes talking to other black boxes so after you right click to enable that property and add this registry key, you then have to reboot into your bios to turn on “Fuckboi” mode and take photos of your asshole for verification, then log into your Microsoft account to get this Powershell script and now you can finally see your children again.

I’m so exhausted at people who answer like this.

It makes me feel crazy.

Still there for me.

In my old job, the tech department wasn’t who hired engineers, it was Human Resources.

And they would write shit like “Entry level position- needs react, C#, Unity, Kubernetes, Perl, and Assembly expertise. Min 5 years of experience.”

Shit they found online and slapped into a profile.

And it was up to the dept leads to hire people quietly and just have HR sign off on it because they were fucking morons.

I think about famous photo of the pirate bay cofounder.

These are the people we want to manage the internet, not someone who blocks information because it pisses off their billionaire friends.

Funny how all the other news articles don’t seem to mind all of his sweet Nazi tattoos.

Thats hilarious and accurate to what I’ve been seeing elsewhere. Non-techies jump to windows 11, notice half their custom settings are gone and it’s harder to find their stuff, then get furious and want to get off of windows.

Keep it up Microsoft.

This is actually a true story for me.

Wrapping up college, my life sucked. I was a little edge Lord incel.

Then elder dad had a near fatal accident and I had to take care of him. Spent the next year cutting out the BS, helping him put his life back together, and trying to be optimistic that he’ll make it. Got in shape, pushed out of my comfort zone, stop the complaining/whining.

Long story short, during that life change, my dad made it. I met my wife. I have two kids. That was 14 years ago.

Either

1. They’re always watching. I’m in tech and was taught in my security training - when traveling to countries with extremely strong surveillance, assume you are bugged. Family could be high valued and they wanted something from the parents. Probably a bit too tinfoil hat.

2. Vengeance girl’s parents could be assholes/racist. As a dude, Ive had my share of “mommy & daddy doesn’t like me for taking their precious flower”. Multiplier in effect if they have a problem that I’m a PoC.

I worked there in 2017-2020.

You have a link to the details?

Legal threats are a dime a dozen and I can see what type of action was made that gave the record companies a win.

Not kidding. Had a vegan apologize when she ripped a loud fart because steamed carrots made her gassy.

Not a single person smelled anything.

Death Stranding, on paper, sounds like the most boring game ever.

And yet I didn’t just finish it, I chased after achievements! I built all the highways! I 5-starred all the bunkers so I can get dumb little bookbag attachments and get digital Guillermo del Toro to approve of me.

I look forward to the yawn fest that will be Death Stranding 2 and how boring it is. And then I will play it for 100 hours.

I feel like this is all marketing BS, and just shitting on the garbage that was Concord to gain more eyeballs

Eww y’all have a code word? Those are easily guessable.

My wife and I have a random 6 digit code that rotates every 30-seconds based on an algorithm and if we don’t properly authorize, we will refuse the connection.

Wait you actually had a code word for when a stranger approached you?

I thought that was a joke

And a lot of other situations with review bombing over the past decade.
