I didn’t loathe it.

grrgyle ,

Wow there are so many factually incorrect statements here, not even counting the implied ones

grrgyle ,

Reminds of the accounts of people who owned enslaved people being afraid to let them go because of how they thought once freed they would turn around and slaughter their former “masters” because how could they not.

Except that didn’t happen.

grrgyle ,

It is, you’re right. It’s kind of a poor comparaison now that I see it spelled out

grrgyle ,

They look like me after I think I’m going to sneeze but then it doesn’t happen for me

grrgyle ,

As much as I dislike Disney as a company that does sound interesting… really actually brings up so many new possibilities to revisit the classics!

grrgyle ,

Sure doesn’t.

grrgyle ,

Works with mazes and everything else. It’s the “good ol’ rock” of cardinality

This feels like a Stanley Parable reference but it’s been a while…

When the marketing agency jumps the shark

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? (old.lemmy.world)

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

Or Black and Tans aka half and halfs

grrgyle ,

Yes!!! The only* game I’ve played start to finish in one sitting. The entire experience had me riveted. RIVETED.The aesthetic was perfect. The visuals, sound, music, art design, fiction! So good!

*okay I guess other than You Have to Burn the Rope.

grrgyle ,

Yep, it’s the only game that my one non-gaming sibling has beat, and they still talk about it.

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can’t manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn’t laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI...

I agree with your parenthetical, but Wikipedia actually agrees on your main point: Wikipedia itself is not a source of truth.

grrgyle ,

I think we all had that first moment where copilot generates a good snippet, and we were blown away. But having used it for a while now, I find most of what it suggests feels like jokes.

Like it does save some typing / time spent checking docs, but you have to be very careful to check its work.

I’ve definitely seen a lot more impressively voluminous, yet flawed pull requests, since my employer started pushing for everyone to use it.

I foresee a real reckoning of unmaintainable codebases in a couple years.

grrgyle ,

Nah I’m into it

grrgyle ,

I’ve always been a bathroom reader so even without phones I’ve been reading in there for decades

My indecisive ass would still hit “maybe”

Poisoned trees gave a wealthy couple in Maine a killer ocean view. Residents wonder, at what cost? (apnews.com)

Wealth and hubris fuel the tale of a politically connected Missouri couple who allegedly poisoned their neighbor’s trees to secure their million-dollar view of Camden Harbor. The incident that was unearthed by the victim herself — the philanthropic wife of L.L. Bean’s late president — has united local residents in...

But if I stop seeing those comments then I’ll have to start making them. Easier to just vote my approval and be glad someone’s done it.

grrgyle ,

I know right? Also iirc there was some discord alternative, but I can’t quite remember the name… it’s just as well, the company owning it probably shut it down. It’s not like it’s some free protocol that can be used by anyone, sigh 😞

grrgyle ,

Darn you beat me to it haha

grrgyle ,

Ugh too many people. My book club and local dev group are on Discord, also a few old co-workers, and then various communities like rainwave, ocremix diaspora, gamedev stuff…

I wish it was still interoperable with IRC. It’s come to really grate on me.

grrgyle ,

Shootout to doomworld. I think that software is Discourse. Anyway they’ve always had a vibrant communities

grrgyle ,

Yeah a thread is more like a close conversation. If you comment in a thread you’re going to be heard front and centre. It keeps non-sequiters down and it’s good etiquette to at least acknowledge the points raised above.

Tree based is more like splintered conversations around a party, where people drift in and out of side convos. This lends itself to a more anonymous, transient communication style.

Ideal for a quick little session on your phone, really

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age (www.theguardian.com)

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

grrgyle ,

The downfall of every one of my savings plans. At a certain point rent takes priority

grrgyle ,

I think the fear is it stays crashed. Like a new paradigm takes over that is hard to plan for

grrgyle , (edited )

Just started a writing club in !writing so I’m partial to it. But it is very quiet there.

I’ve got vague designs on livening the place up, so it’s been in my thoughts a bit.

grrgyle ,

I do! Thanks for the link

grrgyle ,

Haha nice, I guess I should post some stuff, get it back on folks’ radars

grrgyle ,

Respect

grrgyle ,

A bunch of my co-workers are situated in Iceland and, you joke, but they have had to leave the office twice because of risk of lava in about a year.

Which seems like a startlingly high number

grrgyle ,

Figures a tuxedo cat would have class

grrgyle ,

It feels like it would be an Australian horror movie specifically

grrgyle ,

10/10 Wikipedia rabbit hole right there. Like a delightful snack.

grrgyle ,

Well you’ve convinced me. I always thought copyleft sounded cool, but never thought of it in this way of more/less free

grrgyle ,

When you move fast and break things, but then have to pay to fix the things you broke 🥺

grrgyle ,

Don’t make it look hot

grrgyle ,

I love that.

grrgyle ,

Ph.
D.

grrgyle ,

Feels right

grrgyle ,

Honest mistake, but you’re probably thinking of a superintendent. They are usually an employee of the landlord, and do things like collect the landlord’s rents and sometimes fix appliances, etc.

grrgyle ,

I grew up in a community co-op! It was so great

grrgyle ,

Weekend just hit again and I’m looking forward to diving back into Tunic this Sunday. I’m a good way through it, but can only play an hour or so at a time.

I was honestly unimpressed to begin with, but the overall vibe, and detail of the manual pages, won me over.

grrgyle ,

I don’t even have a microwave but this sounds… good… ??? What did you do to me!

grrgyle ,

Yeah, that’s how I treated it when I was doing hybrid instead of fully remote, but now I don’t even have an office to go into even if I wanted.

I will still meet old co-workers cum friends for lunches, though. Can’t do without that!

grrgyle ,

I don’t know if this is a trend, but I’m finding fewer SO answers with outside links justifying or explaining their answers. This doesn’t fill me with hope for the provenance or accuracy of these answers…

Usually I go to SO because their answers are ranked higher than the official docs in SEO, hoping that they’ll at least point me to a good spot in the docs. If that goes away, well, fuck em

grrgyle ,

I was trying to figure out why I was belting out this song while doing the dishes yesterday. Seemed like the song entered my consciousness out of nowhere.

Now I remember it was because of this cute comic, so thanks for sharing it

grrgyle ,

I am excited by this title
