In my case (a publicly listed company), ceo and the executive board are silent towards workers, its the useless middle mgmnt pushing this shit.

I dont even remember seeing ceo anywhere in years

Now, thanks for the dev for last few days of engaging content.

I've been alive for more than a half of an average lifespan already, and working over 20 years I've met guys and gals who have not had the ability to read or predict social cues nor understand how some acts will look like for outsiders.

My own kid is on the spectrum with a diagnosis so I've read and studied quite a bit on the matter. This might sound harsh, but in the long run I think telling the truth will help the guy. I guess the dev in question here is either young or on the spectrum. Both are alright and we all make mistakes.

Censorship because people dont fall in line with your expectations or beliefs is not right. You will learn that along the way. I was more black and white, right or wrong 20 years ago. Getting married, travelling the world, having kids will even out straight edges. You will find grey between the black and white.

Just walk away if the internet feels too burdensome. Open source is absolutely great, but dont forget that people on the internet are clever, and sometimes even more clever than you, or me for that matter.

Kind of funny to be on the exclusive list. If you dont feel right apologising, thats alright. And even if you dont want it or need it, I still forgive you for trying to censor me.

Just remember though, shitposting is forever.

While I've played mainly on PC for 30+ years, I've owned most of the consoles, lately due to kids playing on them.

PS6 will be the first non-contender. Simply not gonna even think about getting it. On xbox and playstations earlier we have loaned games from local library, and thats great for kids.

Maybe I'll have to build pcs for them now. Bad time for that, too.

I have entered the US around 10x/year and haven't being searched (I'm not saying it doesn't happen, tho), I've visited china multiple times last years and not been asked to install anything, either. Haven't heard about that app install requirement before, any articles about it?

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

Thing is, I make more than ever, but yet due to increased (mostly) energy costs, I can afford nothing.

Few years ago I was able to eat a few times a week out, but nowadays I eat at most a few times a month. Base price for döner was 6-7 euros, now they are starting off 12 euros. However my salary has not doubled. Lately, I usually just pick up take away food for the kids, not for us parents.

I was able to upgrade my phone once a year or two, now I've been using the same phone (even with screen cracked) for 3,5 years.

Best thing last, I'm a co-founder for a fabrication company. We aren't turning profit because everything is expensive. Our costs have doubled, and salary costs gone up 75%. It would be easier to just run the business down nowadays than struggle.

I think one of the reasons is that US is now demanding shippers pay the tariffs, which is unheard of and no shipping company has mechanisms to achieve this.

I can fix her

I think I'm gonna buy this second hand this time.

I've always bought valve HW new and even preordered most of them, but in the current financial climate, I think I'm gonna wait a bit.

I do have a wifi7 access point already wired with this in mind, though.

Gnome2 was the pinnacle of desktop environments. Simple, clean, fast, lean, light. Works with mouse and keyboard.

Gnome fucked it all up and I cant hate them enough for it. After that they've just continuously pissed on users' feet and removed features after features.

Oh why I dont use gnome2 forks and derivatives? Well I have for 15 years. But they simply do not have the momentum of being the single best DE, which gnome2 likely would've been. We would not have thousands of DEs if gnome wouldnt fucked up with gnome shell.

Yeah I use kde nowadays more than mate.

Nice.

I was paying for a family subscription for a major audiobook provider for a while. That changed after I used a 3rd party app to listen to their audiobooks and apparently broke their eula, and they were threatening to sue me and my 7 year old kid for it. Kinda killed the spirit to pay for their service.

So in SI units with dollars/euros $3.24/liter or 2.84e/liter. That's pretty close to what we're paying anyway in EU already some places

I really like JF.

My biggest issue with it is that subtitles appear to be messed up timing wise upon continuing playback and its impossible to reset.

But other than that, I like it a lot. Thanks JF team!

If you have worked with marketing or brand of a large corp, those people are always the furthest away from the real work a company does. They have no idea of the real customer base, only numbers on engagement and NPS reports.

I take it you never heard Van Moof bricked bikes afteir their bankcruptcy?

Edit: and thinking about ebike motors and their parts - bosch has locked down their engines real hard

Nice, now remove the cancer from the games and I'll consider buying 'em

Electric cargo bike? Like https://www.urbanarrow.com/

Had one of those, I really liked it. It was expensive, though.

I can fix her

Nope, never used it, never will.

99 probs but IG aint one

I have a house and continuously wish I havent bought it and just lived in a condo.

Lets say if I paid 500k for it, and have fixed it for $250k so far. I'm not getting that money back, ever. This house might be worth maybe $50k more at most.

Still kitchen and two bathroons to be renovated, and the whole house to be painted, and roof to be fixed, and I dont have the time nor money to do those. 2020s suck, I wish I was born 40 years ago.
