NSFW but here you go

LG actually has that data now

Great, now they are going to know how aroused I am when watching “Golden Girls” reruns.

Amazing how referring to people by their perceived flaws can be offensive

I mean, isn’t this common sense? If you work for me and bring me some sub-par work, I can call you a fucking retard, and you’ll probably be offended. On the other hand, if I pull you aside and say that usually you do excellent work, but I’m not liking this, and here’s a couple ideas to improve your work, you might look upon that more fondly.

In both scenarios, I’m communicating that I’m not happy with you and/or your work, but one is likely to lead to an HR incident and one isn’t. How is this “woke”? (I fucking hate that term, because it tends to be use as shorthand for “stuff I don’t like”, but no two people seem to share definition beyond that)

Ironically, retard was originally a kinder word cooked up to describe people with lower intelligence, along with moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile. Over time these became pejoratives. Just kind of interesting to see how language develops and terms intended to avoid offense over time turn into ones that offend people.

He’s not wrong, but ‘bringing your true self to work’ is something companies like to say but they don’t actually believe.

The “should” in that sentence is why I keep Windows 11 laptop around. Approximately 100% of the EXEs on there work vs with Photon where it starts up, but I get a bug and then I wonder if that’s a problem with the game, or if I have some setting right.

Now when I want to game, I just game. No more fiddling. The Windows 11 laptop sits quietly in a bag until I want to play a game, I use it for that, and then put it back away until I want to have fun. My workflow has 0% dependency on Windows and that’s how I like it now.

I think everyone goes through a zealot period where they have discovered it and want the whole world to get on board. Now the setup works great for me and I do not care who else in the world uses it. My limited exposure to Windows 11 is infuriating and I’m eternally grateful to open source devs that I have a relaxing and functional Linux environment.

A lot of games I want to play with mods, the authors only release Windows installers. A great example is Battletech, the HBS remake. There’s a “BTA advanced” mod I like to run and it takes a lot of screwing around to get it to work properly in Linux, but it’s a few clicks on Windows. I will agree Proton has come a LONG way and some titles are perfect, but I get so little gaming time that when I sit down, I don’t want to fucking around with swapping various Glorious Eggroll versions of Wine, or wondering which version of .net I need to get the game to run under Linux. On Windows it “just works”.

I do have a few titles I play on Linux, but I keep that laptop around just for gaming because I don’t want to mess around. Anecdotally I would say 90% of my games work absolutely perfectly with Proton and it’s mostly mods that screw up the experience.

Linux isn’t perfect but I don’t have to put up with that kind of bullshit from the makers of my OS. Glad I switched long ago and never looked back (except for the Windows laptop I keep around for games)

You can take a penny, but you don’t have to leave a penny.

“taken me by surprise and I don’t wish to be a part of it” is a perfect way to describe Trump’s second term.

Yeah, but if you ignore all that stuff and think about it for a little bit, maybe they ARE out there fighting for your interests. Besides, some of those facts might have been made up by a Democrat, just like climate change. Not even a day ago my local Fox affiliate said America’s doing better than ever, which is all the proof I need. Looking forward to 4 more years of Trump!!!

Couldn’t happen to anyone that doesn’t masturbate on their lunch break.

What if we use a Visual Basic UI to hack the IP address by netmask?

I asked my magic 8 ball about this and it said “Outlook not so good”

I’m not. I’m talking about in companies where dev A wants dev B to do some work, but they don’t use git or any kind of source control, so you email over a cursed ZIP file, then dev B does the work and sends it back with a different name. It’s a highly cursed situation.
