Noxy

fired two months ago for bombing out of a PIP* and I feel so incredibly seen by this article. all my motivation and passion for making the linux and the kubernetes and the cloud things has evaporated and I have no fucking idea what to do next, thankfully I can also take some time off and I’m leaning into music as well, kinda in a cover band and likely joining another cover band.

*a PIP that my shithead of a former manager put me on the literal instant I returned to work from a double-whammy bereavement leave of first my grandpa dying, and then having to euthanize our beloved 12 year old dog. and the PIP’s core requirement turned out to be technically impossible anyways, and yet here I am

How exactly was Nintendo unjustly enriching themselves. Sure it’s morally wrong

You cannot be against Zionism and support Ukraine at the same time.

fucking watch me.

Outkast lied to us??

Yes. I switched from iPhone five years ago and never looked back. Do it.

Tokyo Jungle was amazing and it’s a damn shame it hasn’t been ported or remade for any other platform!

napster, kazaa, limewire, audiogalaxy are the big ones I remember in the pre-torrent era

hell I remember there were PCs at some kiosk at the mall that random folks had installed Napster on and a bunch of random folks had downloaded random stuff on.

I burned so many audio CDs. Even if it was just to add one single new song, since one song could take like an bour or so to download before we got broadband.

When mp3 cd players became a thing, that was a magical time. Before iPods and before the Creative Nomad, WAY cheaper, and some could even read CD-RWs.

I even sold a few mix CDs, with nicely formatted printouts for the slim jewel cases.

What an era.

Despite signing it, Newsom issued a statement urging the legislature to amend the law before its effective date, citing concerns from streaming services and game developers about “complexities such as multi-user accounts shared by a family member and user profiles utilized across multiple devices.”

then why did you fucking sign it in the first place??

words cannot describe the depths of my seething hatred for the complete, museum grade, massive piece of shit that is Gavin Newsom

How does the security of non-android mobile linux compare to GrapheneOS? Is there anything that gets even remotely close to Graphene in terms of fascist government agencies being unable to access the phone’s contents if it’s shut down or locked properly?

finger on the trigger while not actively aiming at a target? this one is definitely a “run commands as root instead of using sudo” kinda linux user

Wow, I remember when they had a single Go store at Amazon HQ in Seattle, and it was employee only. It sure was neat as a novelty, but it doesn’t surprise me that they could never figure out the tech.

Good riddance. These days, I more and more cherish the brief but real interactions I have with real grocery store cashiers.

“reforms” is supposed to imply improvement, not deterioration

still exists! I still scrobble, going on 20 years now

Good thing this is a completely optional “feature” that I’d never pay for

VR has actual staying power though. It genuinely adds a lot to a game or a simulation. VRchat especially is like a deeply emotional thing to folks who don’t feel like they belong in their real bodies and can exist in VR a more true representation of themself

according to Google

huh? why would Google know more than Valve about this?

Way above my pay grade! I would never suggest or support making such agreements, but I also don’t want to be in a position where I’d even be asked, so I’d just sit back with a bowl of popcorn

AWS aggressively pursues high priced and years-long spending commitments with large customers, and they incentivize it with huge discounts for doing so.

And when AWS does this they intentionally incentivize these large customers to migrate existing workloads away from other cloud service providers as well, going so far as to offer assistance in doing so.

Pretty telling that the headline is that they want to do something, rather than they did something.

Strongly against the state having the option.
