  • Well that was an excellent, nuanced, comment - cheers. I have seen examples supporting OPs observation, but I'm too new to know if this is a change.

  • To be fair, they have tried nothing and are all out of ideas.

  • Lucky for them we do not log and publish all the access logs, along with their identity.

  • Moaning about a lack of robust privacy for 3rd party apps while on a platform with a public record of every users up and down votes is a pretty rich. That data is a gift to the advertisers and you can bet it is being mined already. If I had the skill that would be the topic I made a meme about.

  • I dunno about winning. Lemmy user count is through the roof. And Im one of the people who left when they pulled the API nonsense. The way they gaslit and lied to the Apollo dev was just unacceptable. Couldn't participate there after that.

  • That went from zero to a hundred real quick

  • I can't believe I need the large font size 🧑‍🦯

  • Somebody might also have a case of mondayitis.

  • I had this argument with a boomer HR consultant and she just doubled down, even though I explained that neither I nor my colleagues, give two hoots about fussball or team building. Our position is a resounding "fuck you pay me" but oh no - boomer knows best.

  • Lol. I uh. Guess I didn't want a one time payment option after all.

  • On linode i can run a half dozen docker images on a little vm for ten bucks a month. And their s3 is a few bucks a month for 250 gigabytes. The vast majority of projects I deal with have a predictable compute requirement - I don't get the need to pay the ridiculous premiums associated with elasticity. But I'm not exactly running uber or Netflix over here.

  • I also prefer a one time payment. But software doesn't maintain itself.

  • Pretty cool! Sending this from Sync

  • I'd jump in, but i would still need a crafted experience. I find designing my own sandbox to be a bit dull. Remember the last season of the Good Place? Turns out infinite wish fulfilment might not be that effective at making us happy. And it certainly won't help us to develop.

    But if there are fun, designed experiences that are engaging and challenging to do inside this realm, sign me the fuck up.

    Question though: how is time experienced on the inside? Because if our virtual experiences happen faster than real time we could get some real world advantages by studying and training in virtual.

  • Nhl offline. No idea why. I win almost every game. Sometimes it's a close one. But it's not easy on superstar. I just enjoy finding the angles. Good podcast game. But I am down on myself for ignoring the massive backlog.

    Finally though, I snapped out of it and tried Hades for the second time and this time it stuck. Chasing those Heat skulls now.

  • Yeah me too. This place is cool. And my instance has neat stuff in the local feed too.

  • Awesome - I didn't know about the sequel. I did everything in the first one and the DLC. Loved the puzzles, writing and the Easter eggs. And mostly just the vibe. It's a hauntingly beautiful world.

    Best bit of the writing for me was the mash up misunderstandings of history. It reads like a language model had incomplete info and put several key historical events into the wrong order, and drew some nonsensical causal conclusions about them.

  • British TV?

  • Because your taste in TV is the Right One?

  • Maybe if I do the wrong thing too, this will correct the balance in the universe. You're a visionary OP! My mother lied to me from an early age. Two wrongs actually Do make a right.
