Drafting/tailgating is always something I’d fought companies on. If I’m responsible for physical security, arm me to protect myself when I go and challenge someone and things go sideways. Usually the conversation ends there, but one time I actually did threaten to take it a step further when someone tailgated me, and I told them to stop, or I will call the cops for them trespassing. That someone was a board member without a badge to the building. Good thing tenure and security policies override a board member trying to get me fired. They stopped pushing the aggressive anti-tailgating policy after that.
With security teams, I always find that they are gung-ho about implementing systems and policies, but evaporate when challenged to enforce them or actually do the real work related to those policies (like monitoring cameras, staffing for physical access security, etc.).
I once automated a co-worker out of a job with a 13-line bash script. I felt guilty on a human level, but they were also awful so that guilt faded pretty fast.
41 year old woman here. I was born with gaming, I will die with gaming. Do not hide your gaming from the get go. Put it in your profile. Its a huge part of my life, so finding that in a partner is a must in my book. There are women out there that share my sentiment, and some that just like games or don't care.
I don't think there "must" be an age cutoff where people are supposed to stop playing - instead, there's an age cutoff for where people didn't grow up with or have access to computers or gaming.
I was born right on the cusp of video games moving from niche nerd shit and becoming relatively mainstream. I can see that there's a clear gap between friends who game and friends who don't that nearly directly ties to whether or not they played games as a kid. A lot of the time for my generation, that's a socioeconomic division more than anything else. Computers were expensive as a kid, so most of my friends who grew up poor found other interests in childhood and grew up to be adults who don't really play games. The kids I grew up around whose families were more well-off have continued gaming as adults. Maybe less, maybe different games; but in many ways it's like asking what age someone is supposed to outgrow "having hobbies".
The older someone is today the less likely it is they had access to games and gaming, and often the more intimidating they find learning about computers and gaming - and the more time they've had to find some other hobby that they find compelling.
There definitely is a thing in the dating market where some people can be particularly judgmental about gaming. Personally, I've found that is loudest and largest for some of the more ... "serial" daters I know, who have found themselves in relationships with lots of different people and have found that gaming, or identifying as a "gamer" tends to correlate with other bigger issues. There's also the side concern when something that's big in your life isn't something they can relate to - a little like the ultra-fan Sports Dudes where all of every game day will always be booked off for watching the games with the boys.
I think in regards to the dating market, it's less that anyone needs to "grow out of" gaming, and more that adults are more expected to have a mature relationship with their hobbies, gaming included. And given that there are negative connotations about degenerate adult gamers not really grown up, that may be something to keep in mind regarding how you present that hobby and how you talk about your relationship with it.
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Love it. Works really well and great camera. No issues I’ve had so far after a year. Would’ve been nice to have a headphone jack, but not a big issue.
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Moto Max, pixel, pixel 3a, lots of others
How often do you upgrade to a new phone? Every few years recently
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Shield TV, Fitbit, pixel buds pro, fire tablet
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) My kid has an iPad for speaking but that’s it. Everything else is android and the PC is Windows 11pro
I have an instance running nextcloud for my calendars for a month or so. I received an email 2 days ago basically staying this :
Reclaiming idle resources allows OCI to efficiently provide services to Always Free customers. Your account has been identified as having one or more compute instances that have been idle for the past 7 days. These idle instances will be stopped 7 days from now.
So I’m also wondering how to keep it active.
Edit: I just installed Serge. I’ll just try to remember to play with it from time to time and see what happens.
