It depends. I run a bar and also frequent bars. I see a lot of behavior from wait staff I’d fire them for. Wait staff endlessly bitch about customers but its a two way street, staff develops a blind spot to their own behavior due to spending so much time in a bar.
Bro they are working in a high intensity environment. You are there to have fun. They are talking behind your back. (So how does that affect you?) Versus actively being a jerk to someone just doing their job (which is, unfortunately, to engage with you). It’s not the same.
Are you really trying to explain running a bar to me? Anyways your answer is horseshit. I work in that high intensity environment and see the blinders go on. Innocuous requests by customers turn into staff acting like it’s a massive imposition. They openly talk to me because they’ve been at my bar, served by me, and I know who’s I’d hire and I wouldn’t from the free talk.
I tried but there’s no option for it in the app I’m using, Voyager. A long press on the word yields options like “copy”, “look up”, but nothing about the dictionary.
It reduces the barrier of entry for new users to get an account going that is not flooded by political extremist views in it’s feed.
It causes anonymous users to not see they shitshow. And since most users start out by browsing anonymously while deciding whether they want an account or not, that is a big deal.
It gives the impression that this community is at least somewhat ok with the views that these extremists hold.
It should be opt-in to view posts and comments from these sources.
If you don’t mind, I have a few questions/recommendations for you:
Are you someone with a many connections, or are you planning to just cold-call a bunch of notable people and hope for the best?
Where are you planning on hosting the AMAs themselves? On !amarequests, or on !askmeanything? (If the latter, you might want to coordinate with the current mod, @frankyboi)
What is your plan for promoting the AMAs (on Lemmy or elsewhere), and collecting questions ahead of time? I think both of these would be an important kickstart for the AMAs, and help ensure their success. For example, a few posts like “Notable celebrity John Smith will be answering questions on August 1st from 11:00 to 13:00 UTC, post your questions for him here” in the weeks/days leading up to the AMA might be a good idea.
Thanks again for taking on this project; looking forward to seeing what comes of it!
I have had nothing but great experience from Parsec. It’s gaming intended, but works perfectly for simple remote desktop use as well. Very low latency. Can start when windows boots, so you can even sign in remotely if you need to restart. Free
RDP is kind of limited because it’s a virtual session. It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue. When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out. Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.
UltraVNC has worked ok for me for windows systems. It has some of that open-source clunk to the UI, but is pretty straight forward and does what I need.
It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue.
Sure you can, I do this all the time on the work RDP server. Maybe you need to tweak your group policy so it doesn’t kick you out right away.
When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out.
Nope, depends on what group policy you configured. If you’ve never configured that before as a starter launch gpedit.msc (with admin privileges) and head to Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Session Time Limits. The other settings in there are also useful for other things you may want to configure.
Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.
Yes this is true, the only way to do that is to have admin privileges on the host and then take over that user session. But of course that’s not collaboration, that’s just you taking a user’s current session without them being able to see what you’re doing.
On Windows the official way to do that is via Quick Assist (on Windows 10, not sure if it got renamed on Windows 11), it’s sort of a shared RDP session where both the user and the remote user can share the same session. I’ve never needed to use it myself - with the work system users are pretty content with just having me “fix” whatever they needed without them watching, they usually don’t care how to fix the problem themselves LOL.
Neovim. I tried to use it a year ago, but I felt like I was fighting it every time I just wanted to make progress on my project. VSCode doesn’t get in my way. I’m going to give it another shot in a few years.
Try kickstart.nvim. I was skeptical until I tried it. It’s a very good starting point for Neovim. Pretty much eberything else I’ve ever tried is either too bloated, too complicated, too outdated, too overwhelming, or a mix of the above. Link: github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
If you aren’t already, you could get familiar with the vim motions within VSCode via a plugin. Moving over to a vim setup can be overwhelming, setting up your lsp,linters, other packages. Adding on the need to still learn key bindings makes it extra difficult. I started with VSCode using vim motions, went to doom emacs and used evil mode and then my mentor got me hooked on vim. Do it in steps and you’ll get to a config that lets you code without much fussing, good luck!
Oh, yeah, vim motions are wonderful. I started using them when I installed Linux on my Chromebook due to the lack of a good keyboard setup (I still don’t know where the Delete key is on that thing).
I mean Morgan Freeman has openly stated he wished black people didn’t use the nword and there are black Republicans so this could very well be a real thing
