‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared for 100k Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700K
That's awesome. Also the lack of micro transactions makes me want to support them more. I kinda wish they had a donate button or something.

Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration
As a tech worker, I do almost jack shit and make deep into the six figures. Honestly, I'd be fine if UPS drivers made more than me, good on them.
Frankly, in terms of total compensation, pay them more.

Why does it seem different platforms of the fediverse are not so good at communicating with each other? Is this something that will eventually improve?
As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.

Don't give Elon more money.
I resemble this...sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don't think it's a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.

What’s the best printer in terms of no DRM/Open source
My Brother B&W laser printer is a beast. I've had it probably eight years now and am only, two months ago, on my 3rd toner cartridge despite my relatively low use. That counts the starter cartridge which I am told isn't full.
My Brother color printer on the other hand is a pain. The yellow toner always runs out first and it won't print without it. Well, it can, if you finagle things, but then it only does for like 3-4 weeks. Annoying as shit.
But, overall, better than any HP or Canon I've ever used.

Prosecutors have Trump's Twitter DMs and drafts
Reply in thread
Multiple people shared the account and communicated by making draft messages. And apparently notable things were said/left as draft.

I like the web app more.

$20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.
I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.
Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It's whatever.

PSA: Lemmy.world has been compromised!
It's kinda neat that we're all still on lemmy discussing a downed node, of sorts.
Because fediverse.

That's some bullshit right there. Thanks for capturing it.

Noooooo my div

I actually encountered an issue earlier today where my important wasn't working...and it was because another dev had already added a more specific important.
I deleted their important.

You can export them from Chrome and import them to Firefox.

What would get you "back to the office"?
3x base salary at least. No-thought commute, so maybe provide transportation for me. I currently live what is about 1.5hrs away each way now and there isn't a public transportation option.
Commute time should count towards my "8 hour work day". No distracting desk drive bys. Provided breakfast and lunch or an optional lunch stipend or whatever to cover if I go somewhere near the office.
Not sounding great for the company? It isn't meant to. It would be nearly impossible to get me to go back to the office, as it should be.
I'm not being unreasonable. I am at least twice as productive since working from home and even simple internal reports can prove that. I'm also 2-3x happier and less stressed, nothing can really replace that.

Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
US here. Companies I work for use Teams, Zoom, Outlook, WebEx, RingCentral, GChat for comms.
Personally among friends and family, we use Signal.
Nobody I know uses WhatsApp or even has it installed.

‘It all disappeared with Brexit’: Craft beer boom ends as more than 100 UK firms go bust

Should watch us here in the US. We always vote against our interests and it always turns to shite.
Not voting or voting without knowing what's being voted for are yet another thing we're #1 at.

Why is everyone talking about Sync? How is it better than other apps for Lemmy like Connect and Jerboa?
Personally, I disliked Sync for Reddit and did not use it. And, personally some of those quirks still bother me with Sync for Lemmy.
But...Jerboa, Connect, Liftoff, etc. currently also don't work as well or are as customizable as I'd like. Liftoff is definitely the closest, though, and I still switch back to it after each update to see how it is progressing.
For now though, Sync ticks more of my hot button boxes despite its flaws than any other app I've tried (so far).

What show took you the longest to get into?
Probably going to be Lost. I'm 3 episodes in as of 2008 and haven't gone back yet...if I ever do, it will be the longest to get into for me by far.
In seriousness though...As others have said, The Office and Parks & Rec took me about a season to get into.
Arrested Development, I admit, took me a few episodes.
Always Sunny took me about a season...I think just to get into a groove of the style or something, I dunno.

Is this a duplicate community?
I follow multiple "duplicates", because what happens when a server goes down?
What happens if a server ceases to exist?
It is a little weird sometimes, but ultimately, I'd rather everyone not flock to a single "popular" instance of everything only to have that...oh I dunno, get Steve Huffman'd.
