Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.

Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.

If I was told I had to work 70 hours per week I’d quit on the spot.

This guy is fucking insane.

Just because Hamas support Palestine doesn’t mean that supporting Palestine makes you support Hamas. That’s like saying that because I like art and Hitler liked art that means I support Hitler (which I very much fucking don’t). It doesn’t make any sense logically.

Yeah. There’s not many fancy restaurants that have that. But, like, most delis and bakeries you go to will usually have chips like that.

American here. Yeah, chips/crisps are sold in restaurants. They’re usually bagged too lmao. Like the restaurant just got them from the supermarket.

Professional software developer here. It’s definitely a career. I do agree it’s like art, it requires you to fit stuff together like a puzzle to get it to work. But I don’t think that makes it less of a “serious” career - there’s a lot of money in the field and as the world gets more and more invested in computing it’s become a very in-demand skill.

Yep, main returns an int in C++. It’s for the return code - if it returns 0, that indicates the program ran ok, if it returns anything else some sort of error occurred.

I think the confusion here stems from the fact that with historical slavery like the transatlantic slave trade, both slaves and slave owners are long dead. So the only parts of that slavery that still affect living people are the longer-lasting cultural effects, such as racial inequality.

Personally, I think we should probably be addressing those cultural effects, and that seems to generally be what these “reparations” are about? But I do agree that modern slavery is something that really needs to be addressed as well, and living slaves absolutely deserve reparations from their slavers.

Yep. 196 communities are getting pretty highly upvoted too which is why you’re seeing them so much when browsing all.

Man, this is the thing that really gets me about agile software development. Finish all the work in the sprint? Good job, pick up more work from the backlog and we’ll give you an even bigger sprint next time. Falling behind? Mandatory overtime and a disappointed manager.

End result of it all is that you’re encouraged to do lazy work and pad out your time so that you don’t get assigned increasingly immense workloads and get burnt out. For a job where quality should be measured by how well a job was done, it’s instead measured by how much work was done - and that’s a huge problem.

It was probably like Tame Impala or something lmao

.ml doesn’t have open signups rn iirc and .world was the most popular after that. I think that’s probably got something to do with it.

Man, this really sucks. Great example of how the over-consolidation of the industry into mega corporations is bad for gaming in general.

Heart goes out to all the devs that’ll be laid off by this.
