It can feel impenetrable sometimes but there are certain jumping off points. If you're familiar with Civil War and are broadly familiar with Marvel characters you can just pick up the Thunderbolts trade paperback. Otherwise, Civil War is good on its own (the first one at least), you could read that then follow the storylines from there.
Have you read the Warren Ellis run of Thunderbolts set after Civil War? It's a great, really fun read. Norman Osbourne is their leader and you see how much fighting spider-man has ruined his mind.
One way I can tell I'm enjoying, or at least tolerating, this new job is I've been here since January and I haven't felt the need to jump on Seek and just see what's around. That's impressive considering this is a mostly in office job, but it's close to home, the people there are chill, and I've been getting some actual results in the work I'm doing.
I was always passively looking at my old job at the more 'interesting' workplace, and same with the work form home job that sounded great on paper. I used Marketing Cloud in both of those roles and I feel like that was a big reason for me not liking both jobs.
They say people don't leave organisations, they leave managers. Maybe we should add shitty tools to the list of things people leave too.
They say the apps don't need to use your microphone to listen in and present you ads but this sort of thing happens far too often.
One time my girlfriend showed me something on her phone and I started getting ads on mine. Either they're listening or they're scanning faces and delivering ads to known friends
I've wanted to mention I'm grateful for the community. Everyone's so great on here, I've been able to ask questions, get insights from people, and just keep up with what others have been getting up to. It's been nice
One of the boys had a fever and had to be picked up from childcare early on Monday. This resulted in the week up until now just being a fog of Trying To Get Things Done. Things are somewhat back to normal so we'll see how things play out.
I got Bazzite working on the old work laptop. Silly me didn't disable Secure Boot. It loads straight into Steam Big Picture on startup, so I wouldn't use this version as my daily driver, but it would be great for handhelds and loungeroom PCs.
Also, Sleep Token have dropped a new album. I know some people on here dig them. I'm listening to it now.
Surely they go the RMs because they're one of the few brands that still use Goodyear welts on the soles so you can replace them. Not any fake poser reasons at all, surely...
AMD plays much better with linux because all the drivers are open source. Their new flagship graphics card is cheaper than a 5080 and gets great performance. A good excuse to upgrade your GPU too if you go down the linux path
Yeah, none of the major ones are on Linux. The simpler plugins should just work but anything that breaks your workflow too much will be a deal breaker.
I use waveform and it has a Linux version. Ardour is another DAW that's been getting popular on Linux. It might be worth checking out
I accidentally deleted an entire Facebook campaign at work today. I recreated it but it was just more time and panic.
The ads section of Facebook has such a terrible interface. It's so clunky and confusing. You'd think that would be the one good part given it's how they make their money
That's fair enough. I've only listened to about 2 songs
