- Comment on If reality worked the way hiring managers and job interviews thought it did companies would have to fire everyone when they purchased new software since no one would have any experience using it. 3 weeks ago:
No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.

In telegram nothing is e2e encrypted unless you specifically ask it to be and when you do, it kills all the functionality that makes it better than others.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
I grew up and decided that games have a place in my life to give experiences, you grew up and decided that they are a source of burst distractions. I guess age has nothing to do with it and it’s just about personal preference.

The title promises so much, but OP’s dog ate the homework and there’s barely anything he can show us.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
Since they are probably working on other stuff as well could this mean that Icefrog is the only lead who can take a project to completion reliably within Valve’s organizational structure?
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
Inject this hopium into my veins.
They could just be one moba, one hero shooter and one last man standing, all online and all competitive.
- Comment on It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation 2 months ago:
I percieve them as different to your run of the mill EA or Ubisoft, so I expect more from them. That’s on me I guess. I’m not angry though, just disappointed.

- Comment on The unpleasantness of mosquito bites is not something useful for mosquitoes, but it *is* useful for the ones who suffer it 2 months ago:
I literally swatted a mosquito the other day because it bit me while I was doing something else. I didn’t feel it land, but I did feel the bite which triggered me to slap it out of existence.
- Comment on The unpleasantness of mosquito bites is not something useful for mosquitoes, but it *is* useful for the ones who suffer it 2 months ago:
That would mean when they bite you during the night when they can take their sweet time, you would wake up with no itchiness, but that’s not the case for me.

I have premium and still use it just for this.

Giving it a whirl right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

That was 15 years ago.
- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 6 months ago:
Don’t use it if you don’t like it, but don’t give this bullshit Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda control of something just because you don’t like it.
It’s just as bad or good as any other algorithm based content app like Facebook or Instagram. If we have a problem with privacy for example then go after that like with gdpr.

Thanks MKBHD for not sucking corporate dick and actually showing issues with products and helping people make informed decisions on their purchases, right?

If I can’t notice a difference while playing games, web browsing, video and photo editing, and working in blender and cad software, what is left to define slow operation? It operating slow should be something noticeable for it to be an issue.
It used to be a problem in windows 98 days, I remember as much. And it is a problem on my work computer but that is day one config from the company, not over time degradation.
Like I said, I dislike windows and it’s dark pattern bullshit as much as the next guy, but performance has not been one of my issues with it on my personal devices.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
That hasn’t really been my experience. The computers I own have had windows for multiple years. I tend to install it when first setting up and never again.
The work laptop has good specs but trash performance from day one that I got it. I had a laptop that I gave away that was much lower spec than the work laptop and it ran better in every way, probably because it had none of the bloat.
Windows in my opinion has huge issues in other areas but performance hasn’t been one of them in the last 15 years for me, probably in part because I avoid running any heavy services in the background.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I have that behavior as well, but it’s not a Windows issue, it’s all the bloat software that IT installed on it. It’s wild how much it kills this laptop compared to any other PC, not just in login times.

Wait, why would anyone have the right to free interpreters at any time? That sounds like such a waste of public resources and like you said, enables people to never even try to learn the language.

I’m sorry for you. But you can be the change you want to see. Break the cycle.

Genuine question, how would mass vs volume change the answer?
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 11 months ago:
that most real, non childish adults don’t care for? You are simply making things up. The reboot sold incredibly well, about 5 times more than the originals in fact, and received universal acclaim. People have grown up with the character and were happy to see that evolution. The original creator and you have become out of touch with the reality of this franchise.
Your expectation for things to never evolve and grow says more about you than you seem to want to face. But the same as you think that there are plenty of games that fill the void of deep narrative action games, I can say there are plenty of basic hack and slash games to go around, just go enjoy another one.

David Jaffe is unhappy that his generic revenge puddle of spit character has actually grown in depth and is truly interesting now.
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Let’s imagine we have massive departments for each one of those, like 300 people average for each of your example areas. For me it’s insane just thinking about it considering what the product actually is. I’m still left with 7200 people unaccounted for.
- Comment on Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year 11 months ago:
Something that I don’t quite understand about Spotify is why they had the amount of employees that they did in the first place. What were 9000 people doing for work on a music playing and recommendation website. I know they used to be highly innovative and disruptive a long time ago, but has that been the case in recent years? How were 9k people contributing to this already established web music app?

This exists in Sync for Lemmy. I couldn’t live without it tbh.
- Comment on Amazon lays off Alexa employees as 2010s voice-assistant boom gives way to AI 11 months ago:
I’ll try it but honestly at this point I don’t see any hope for it anymore, when the difference between the name Karolina and Carolina is enough to confuse it. Like, I give it first and last name and it says it can’t find it even though it heard the name just fine but decided its written with a C instead of a K, so it doesn’t exist in my contacts.
- Comment on Amazon lays off Alexa employees as 2010s voice-assistant boom gives way to AI 11 months ago:
Every time I try anything other than the most basic things, like setting a timer, it just fails miserably. It would be so useful for hands free operation in the car but even things like calling or navigating are broken beyond belief.
- Comment on Toyota trials hydrogen-powered vehicle on public roads in Australia 1 year ago:
Totally agree with this although it’s a uniquely an american problem. In my neck of the woods, cars are more sensible and I would still say there’s a lot more room for improvement, both in what people are alowed to take on the roads and public transportation options.
But the circlejerk that is fuckcars makes even the people driving the Renault Twizy seem like monsters.
- Comment on Toyota trials hydrogen-powered vehicle on public roads in Australia 1 year ago:
The fuckcars community has their nose so far up their ass, they think any kind of personal transportation is the devils spawn and no amount of improvents will fix that. In their eyes, everyone should be forced to live in dense urban environments and ride some kind of shared public transportation everywhere.
There are good talking points in their propaganda, for sure, but just like everything today, the echo chamber is so strong, they are now extremists on the matter.
