Spoken like one who has not experienced the travesty of over-garlicked food 🥲

Ah well talking shit about work is different than actually changing your primary focus away from it. It's just a form of small talk and they generally change tune when you actually start doing stuff about it in your life. Not coming in on a day when the manager mass-texted us that the building was out of power? I didn't know, but apparently everyone else still came in because "it might have come on later" and I guess I was just supposed to show up out of some distorted form of solidarity?? I get that others needed the hours on their check anyways but I didn't see the point personally.

They'll find shit to talk about. If you decide the place is too toxic and work to cut your hours, that culture of complaining often shifts to include you, especially when you're not there.

Maybe I'm too bitter from my previous job but good gravy am I glad to have quit.

Wait you gals stopped being annoying?

Well in that case you starve a slow death of malnutrition as your body is unable to properly process any of the food you eat, unless it's also rotated 180 degrees along the 4th axis

I mean, bosses input reading my heavy attack to suddenly turn their three move combo into a four move combo 50% of the time feels a bit lame. For instance the dancing lion suddenly going into the spray carousel after it would have exhausted its combo and rested otherwise. My main issue is on the inconsistency.

Don't get me wrong, that fight was really fun and I overcame it, but there are many such cases where it feels overtly like the game just threw in the extra attack as a "fuck you" while trying to learn the mechanics. There might be a subtle cue to the boss's body language I didn't see but there's also the issue of the camera in encounters with large enemies.

On the whole though, as frustrating as it may be at times, often there's still an underlying pattern. The only fights I think are explicitly unfair are the ones with adds or multiple enemies that add a lot of uncertainty especially if some are off camera. The twin gargoyle fight comes to mind, as does the Godskin duo where you explicitly have to kill both around the same time or the other respawns.

I linked it because I recall it having a lot of cogent points and being relevant, and because I don't remember off the top of my head the specific allegations, I didn't want to dig through a two hour video I've already seen at the exact moment of writing because I only had so much time and research to dedicate to a Lemmy comment. It's valid to be annoyed by a long video linked as an argument, but my comment was a "too long didn't watch" version of it... that actually left out some details like the founder also being a fucking eugenicist.

I also use an adblocker, and the vid has some opinions obviously but was mostly going over evidence, recordings, and related allegations.

You don't have to watch it if you don't want to. I linked it as a secondary source. While primary sources are preferable and it might have been a good idea to do the legwork myself, I wanted something posted quick to maybe make people think twice on the "donate to TST" call to action in the initial comment.

TST is not a super great org unfortunately. They do stuff for great headlines but apparently little in the way of effective advocacy. I've also heard that there are pretty bad issues with misogyny among the upper echelons. While it's extremely long at 2hrs, Dead Domain's video on the subject goes into great detail.

It's really unfortunate, I wanted to believe they were fighting the good fight but I don't know if I can in good conscience anymore

Ass Claction?

dinner is done
announce dinner
everyone shows up 10 minutes later

Some of the food is cold because I didn't cover it, but why should I? It would have been fine if they came to the table when I announced dinner.

next day
dinner is almost done
remembering yesterday, I decide to announce dinner 10 minutes early so that 10 minutes later is "on time"
everyone arrives to the table immediately, remembering that it was cold yesterday not wanting that to happen again

The lines coming from the label nodes add a lot of unnecessary visual noise. I think it's already pretty clear what's what based on the circles this graph is arranged into.

Wouldn't that be nice!

The device wouldn't necessarily have to be constantly streaming the audio to a central server. If it's capable of hearing wake up words like "Ok Google" it's capable of listening for other phrases and having onboard processing to relay back the results much more compressed. Whether or not this is common practice is another matter, and yes the algorithms are scary good even without eavesdropping.

I wonder if Fedora would have a toolchain for networked credential management, with its connection to RedHat and everything

Technically, steamOS because it's designed to play games and it's what the steam deck uses. That probably won't have many other non-gaming features though, and I've personally never used it. In my experience, you can get most games without a hyper-aggressive anti cheat working on any Linux distro with varying degrees of effort, just a matter of having all the needed libraries installed! The more popular distros like Ubuntu, popOS, Fedora, even Arch (btw) should have a lot of helpful information out there on how to get Lutris or Steam set up.

Any time a news headline asks a question, the answer is almost always "no"

Bro really called "just a guy shooting terrorists" apolitical

Initial public offering

Also check out hyperrogue if you get the chance. It's a turn based top down game with a non-euclidean, procedural game board
