Not sure if reddit gives you all that power
It does not. Was one of the reasons that I abandoned it when they blocked third party clients. I resent being forced to view right-wing propaganda, rage-bait, and ads as well as being forced to short by opaque algorithms that are clearly intended to manipulate.
Big fucking nope. Not trusting any passthrough video system to not cause me to lose fingers. Anyone encouraging it is being grossly irresponsible. Wanna use bird bath optics or waveguides to make an overlay? Go for it. Using “fake” AR passthrough video systems is just asking for life-altering injuries.
How long ago did you buy? Still enough Musk fanboys that either don’t care that he is a Nazi or support it. Likely able to sell it and buy an objectively better vehicle, if it is an actual concern.
political protest.
You say potato, I say “not visually signaling support for a guy who gives nazi salutes, provides monetary aid to literal nazis, and is currently engaged in an active attempt to permanently end democracy in the US”.
I get that when you spending 100m+ on game development, but a game needs to have actual value to the consumer, it has to be entertainment, and entertainment is art.
A side point on this: maybe some accounting transparency would help too. We know that that $100M+ isn’t going to the developers as they are some of the most underpaid tech workers. How much of a given game’s budget is actually going to compensate those directly contributing to it vs administration/execs?
Most investors are going to care about what kind of return they’re making. It’s the capital they provide that pays the paychecks.
Maybe that’s the problem. Valve did pretty well for themselves, even before steam, without putting investors in charge of their direction.
If you want to do volunteer work on video games – I have – then that’s not an issue.
I have indeed worked on my own and others projects without financial gain but that’s orthogonal to my point.
But typically games are made by paid workers, and those workers won’t work without their paychecks.
The games industry is full of chronically under-compensated workers. Again, nowhere did I advocate for people to work for free for commercial enterprises or anything of the like.
So they’re going to need to attract investors.
That’s a pretty good example of the False Dichotomy fallacy. There are numerous alternatives that don’t involve prioritizing profit over the product or service that a business produces.
While I’m not one who is generally in support of “how do we grow Lemmy/Fediverse?” posts (seems too forced and often advocating things that contributed to enshitification in the first place), I’m really happy to see the organic growth that you folks are experiencing. Congrats to yourselves and all of the new users getting away from corporate social media.
… If he wants to be a hedge fund exec, he should just go do that. The point of a business, contrary to the Chicago School MBA nonsense, is not to generate profit. It is to make a good or service that would otherwise be impractical for an individual, in a financially sustainable manner.
Work with a therapist to improve coping strategies and improve your sleep hygiene. If the meds are making you nap, chances are it’s because they’re allowing you to relax enough to actually rest. Developing habits that help you to sleep better may help (I’m pretty terribad at it myself).
ADHD-tailored therapy.
Meds alone are not going to solve the problems that ADHD causes, especially when it is untreated throughout one’s life. There’s the additional primary impacts like emotional disregulation and alexithymia (and many others), as well as the secondary impacts of emotional traumas from struggling and failing to do things that are simple for neurotypical people and being given no quarter societally for those challenges that are rooted in the physical neurophysiological differences in the prefrontal cortex of ADHD brains.
In addition, stimulant meds are not the only meds for ADHD and not effective for all people with ADHD. They are the first line treatment because they have far greater statistical efficacy than other meds in most cases. Their main useful mechanism of action though, is not really their “stimulant” properties but their action as dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors.
Why would I use SQL to to reformat a poorly structured log file for programs whose source I have no input in during a live debug with a customer on system that I don’t own and can’t install anything on? Or to extract and format things like hosts from a similar file?
That’s stuff that’s quickly and easily done in vim (which is generally part of the base install) with regex. There’s a lot of use cases that have no overlap with SQL.
Deleted by user.
No. There’s a reason that I’ve avoided the public sector. It’s not that I don’t think that it’s a necessary post of society that has the capability to greatly improve the human condition. No. It’s that the people in charge have been consistently moving to the Right in my lifetime, as they give less and less of a shit about the people that they’re supposed to represent than billionaires’ bribes.
Awww yuss
I’m amazed at your persistence. 🥄
Maybe we can talk about how the California government, including Newsom, have explicitly allowed PG&E to pass along the fines for their responsibility in the fires and being convicted of manslaughter to customers. And how this has made the penalties for their criminal negligence meaningless.
You can literally block instances as a user on Lemmy and have been able to do so good quite some time. No need to run your own instance.
Also the the goals of accelerationism, though it claims that such is a precursor to revolution and utopia.
