I don’t understand how my coworkers are using windows. Like, they routinely have issues where it randomly reboots or gets sluggish. And it’s just flat out unfit for software development, unless you’re targeting windows specific stuff. They can’t even run our code locally.

Maybe some of the problems are janky security stuff to try to lock it down

I’ve heard this but I haven’t taken the time to find a rom and emulator and get it working (on Linux)

I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don’t want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.

Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.

Conservatives don’t care about truth or internal consistency. They just want to harm the out-group.

If there’s any justice, everyone who works for Palantir will be lined up next to everyone who worked for ICE.

Oh, that’s an idea. Unfortunately my work has no union. Tech is full of rugged individuals.

Is it better to skip work entirely or go and just goof off? Probably the former?

Pretty much every time I go to one of the local grocery stores I see a crew of firefighters roll up in their truck buying food.

I just link people to good posts I find on here.

You’re not going to get a typical apathetic person to change anything.

know your rights! All three of them!

You have the right not to be killed

Murder is a crime!

Unless it was done by a police man…

The clash from 1982 still timely

“There must be in-groups that the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups that the law binds but does not protect.” That’s all it is. That’s all it’s ever been.

They are worse than villains from a child’s story.

…what? Go do something else instead of watching YouTube-style content then. Read a book. Take up knitting. Do crosswords.

You can live a full life without Internet videos.

• Bandcamp
• see who tours together. If you like A and they open for B, you might like B
• indie record labels
• see who’s playing at local venues.

I didn’t do all the optional bosses in expedition 33. I finished the plot and was so powered up the story bosses didn’t even get a turn. But fighting the billion hp “dodge 13 hits in a row or die” just wasn’t fun for me.

Yep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.

The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.

• read Bandcamp’s writeups. Sometimes they do a deep dive into a genre, city, or band. https://daily.bandcamp.com/
• if you find something you like, scroll down and there’s other users who bought it. Peek into their collections
• if you scroll down further on an album, there will be more recommendations
• you can search by genre or tag, too

There’s not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different

Capitalism. The rich owner types don’t like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don’t really have coherent values except “in-group to protect, out-group to bind” and “no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do.”

Honestly, probably yes. People are emotional and a face to face conversation can be a big impact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_canvassing is one take on it

Zohran had many volunteers knocking on doors and talking to people. He’s also charismatic, and focused on concrete actionable things.

It’s hard to get people mad about “let’s run buses on time”.
