I say “Damn, Gina!” after the 90s Fox sitcom, Martin.

It’s a shitpost youre not allowed to bring logic into this

Please don’t pee on your partner without consent.

Windows was shitty after the superior WinXP. I’d argue 98 was all I needed but XP was when disk scanning/defragmenting was baked in.

This is a solid point.

In a polite environment like an office, if one person was offended enough to call it out, there’s a huge chance others feel the same way.

I mean there will always be Karen’s who flip out that you’re just eating chips loudly.

But It’s up to the company culture to decide how to approach it as a whole, rather than address it with a single person.

I didn’t watch the video but who is this stuff for?

If I was a Microsoft fan, why click?

If I was a Linux fan, the thumbnail is all I need.

Not a single Trumper can explain why this was unfair because their homie likes to grab pussy and fucks underage girls with Epstein.

I’m not familiar with UK laws. Is the lease bundled with insurance?

Or separate thing?

Regular Ford 2015? Nothing fancy at all.

I’m not disagreeing. But there is a difference.

Steam servers shutting down doesn’t mean you lose everything. You can backup your games and play offline. You still have the things you purchased.

MMOs shutting down and your virtual house and pet disappears, forever. Even if you spin up a instance of that MMO, your account doesn’t belong to you and you’ll have to start/recreate your character from scratch. Granted, you own the server so you could give yourself everything and be god. But then you still paid a lot of money for literally nothing.

Remember the Boycott for Call of Duty? And most of them were playing on Day 1.

This hurts so much. Being in the tech industry, I see it everywhere.

I went to a AI conference and you can just feel how bogus it all feels. Like “Our patent pending AI system references billions of crowd-sourced data points to identify what you are craving for breakfast! Never think about breakfast again!”

And as a engineer speaking with other engineers, we all collectively shrug and just keep taking the money. I’ll AI your toaster for enough money I don’t GAF.

To this day, I still can’t believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say “free speech” . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.

Yeah. There’s some quirks.

So if you’re used to modding by moving files around and editing a text file, you’re right at home. Same process. Maybe some Linux quirks like running the game with some command lines flags.

If you’re used to modding by clicking a few buttons on a mod manager, nah. We aren’t there yet.

Honestly this is how I met my wife.

I used to get all preachy about how stupid Star Signs were and how dumb it was to watch heroine movies. But then, I was just tired of feeling so angry. I just started listening and approaching them from an understanding perspective.

My wife told me that was the only person who ever made her feel heard. and I’m also a lot happier!

I was thinking about this for a while.

I’m very short and direct with people. I’ve gotten more polite, but like if someone starts to ramble, I politely redirect them back to the focus and to stick to time. It’s great at work! Every non-essential thing eats into my work hours.

But I noticed I was doing it with friends too. and I realized how selfish I was becoming to them. Like, I’d cut them off to bring up something I was interested in. And they’d politely listen.

Over the year, I’ve gotten better at recognizing that fair exchange of time with friends. They can talk about babies, or life. And I can talk about which Pokemon is acceptable to eat.

That was my take too.

Security training was something you know, and something you have.

You know your password, and you have a device that can receive another way to authorize. So you can lose one and not be compromised.

Passkeys just skip that “something you have”. So you lose your password manager, and they have both?

Tinfoil hat conspiracy coming up – the large quantity of layoffs meant security has been tossed aside.

1. Employed engineers not having the bandwidth, resources, time to bake in better security. Literally having to do more with less.

2. Fired engineers may had tribal knowledge on how something worked. Now only God knows.

3. Unemployed engineers are bored engineers. Not saying they did the deed, but maybe they discovered it.

In extremely poor and hostile areas of a city, they refuse to provide services like Ambulances. Someone hurt? Drive them to a safe zone and then they’ll get help.

Should do the same here.
