I read manga, does that count? lol

Oppai ga daisuki desu 😀

edit: damn, tough crowd, guess my joke didn’t land lol

ipkpjersi ,

That’s an incredibly cute ad blocker lol

As a maintainer of several open-source projects, it’s definitely rewarding and challenging at times.

ipkpjersi ,

Yep. Employees are happier work harder and produce better work than those who are just going through the motions. Fewer distractions and longer commute means less productivity is possible.

Working in the office is kind of a sham imo, although I won’t fault people who do prefer that face-to-face communication with their co-workers.

ipkpjersi ,

I know adults who need to take that class.

ipkpjersi ,

FWIW, I don’t think we all learned that, they literally never taught that in my school. Like, they literally never explicitly mentioned “credit card debt” or “long-term investments” or any investments really in my classes, and I think they should have.

Of course it’s gonna be different from school to school, state to state, and country to country.

Had you really never seen something like ‘Joe currently owes $300 on his credit card with an annual interest rate of 22%. How much will he owe 2 years from now if he makes no payments and no new purchases’?

Honestly, no, I hadn’t seen anything like that in any of my classes, but the thing is even if I did it’s not worth anything just having those words and not actually teaching it and relating it to the real world and showing how it will affect us as adults when we are older. I 1000% didn’t have any teachers actively teaching specifically that using real-world things like credit cards that would matter to us students. For the most part I didn’t really have teachers actively teaching things like that, it almost felt more like they were going through the motions, I dunno maybe I just got unlucky.

I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Authors of George Floyd book were told not to talk about systemic racism at Tenn. school event (www.nbcnews.com)

Journalists Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, authors of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “His Name Is George Floyd,” are still unclear why they were told they couldn’t read from their book or talk about systemic racism to a room full of high school students in Memphis....

ipkpjersi ,

Yep. They are big on not having any censorship, unless of course it’s any kind of progressive or humane ideas and speech.

Google sues people who “weaponized” DMCA to remove rivals’ search results (arstechnica.com)

Google yesterday sued a group of people accused of weaponizing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to get competitors’ websites removed from search results. Over the past few years, the foreign defendants “created at least 65 Google accounts so they could submit thousands of fraudulent notices of copyright...

ipkpjersi ,

DMCA is such a shitty law. But companies like Google choose the safe route and believe every DMCA claim without first using humans to investigate them (because that will cost more money), and this is the result.

Isn’t that because Google would be liable if they ignored DMCA claims and a judge found in favor of the claimant?

ipkpjersi ,

I feel like we are what we are, and that will probably never change lol

ipkpjersi ,

I think the point was that despite him being top 5% of earners in his country, he’s still poor and thus still pirates.

For me it’s always been different, I’ve always pirated from a data archival perspective, which is why I’m also a maintainer/contributor of several open-source data archival projects.

ipkpjersi ,

I’m glad to hear they’re still working on it, they are one of the few companies I would actually trust to follow through with what they’re saying. It is in their best interest to deliver it so I’m sure they will.

A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school.

Right now there is a loneliness epidemic throughout the world. More and more people aren’t entering relationships. Gen Z men are having significant trouble dating while there are some economic factors in the mix. From my own view and experiences combined with what I’ve read most Gen Z men are lack the social and...

ipkpjersi ,

We just toss people blindly into the mess that is human interaction and relationships and no one knows what to do anymore.

I mean, to be fair, that’s kind of always been the case to some extent. Not that it’s an excuse or a good thing to have, of course.

It is true that schools don’t teach many or any life skills, and it’s unfortunate. Schools should also teach budgeting and real day-to-day life stuff but they just don’t.

ipkpjersi ,

That’s not true, there are other countries with this problem like UK and Canada.

ipkpjersi ,

Yes I do, and I maintain a couple FOSS projects as well.

edit: with that said, the FOSS projects I maintain do not accept donations.

ipkpjersi ,

Thank you for your friend’s purchase.

ipkpjersi ,

People who say it don’t get what it means, because people who actually work hard don’t say it, and people who say it don’t work hard.

ipkpjersi ,

I hit 30 this month. Damn. I don’t feel too much different than my 20s though.

ipkpjersi ,

I mean yeah it’ll probably be 2025 or 2026 but that’s just how these things go.

ipkpjersi ,

Well I mean yeah, you don’t see any millionaires coming from the streets of Compton outside of a very few special exceptions.

ipkpjersi ,

This is more shocking than police investigating themselves and finding nothing wrong.

ipkpjersi ,

Yeah, I can see that. Your friends should not have to know if you like tsunderes unless you want to tell them.

ipkpjersi ,

This is how it works where I live from a legal point of view too. If you “show up” (in-person or remote doesn’t matter) to your full-time job and are “available” for work but they don’t have enough for you, legally you must be paid for your full number of hours (your entire salary). You are paid for your time, not your results. You keep your job by delivering good results, however, since that’s a different matter.

ipkpjersi ,

If I were to have a criticism it would be of management hiring more people than they really need

A lot of companies I’ve worked at have been the opposite 😅 management making do with less by making people work harder to the point of burnout is not very helpful.

Agreed on management not recognizing when one of their people is ready for a bigger role, it’s even worse when the person is performing that role and has expectations of that role but doesn’t have the title or salary bump to show for it.

ipkpjersi ,

It’s less about contractual and legalities and more about the feel of the workplace. A lot of places, especially remote jobs, are more laid-back and open-minded than traditional 9-to-5 ass-in-seats old fashioned office jobs.

ipkpjersi ,

Damn that’s me lmao

ipkpjersi ,

I was laid off earlier this year and was locked out of my Google account and Slack and everything else company related immediately after my meeting with HR and my manager ended. It was shocking how quick they were about it.

I kind of wonder if Google Workspace has a “Fire Employee” button for administrators. I think it probably does.

ipkpjersi ,

Well yeah, of course it isn’t profitable, when it’s damn near malicious in how they treat their customers it’s not surprising.

ipkpjersi ,

It also depends on your field of study and your level of social skills and social confidence too, though. I’m pretty sure social anxiety is increasing among college students which would also correspond with the dating apps losing their popularity among college students (and I would think the amount of college students actively dating has been trending down too).

Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices (finance.yahoo.com)

Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn’t easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of...

ipkpjersi ,

This is why I Plex/Jellyfin.

ipkpjersi ,

Exactly. It’s funny because if one streaming company were more like Valve, they could have all of the content on one platform like Steam has with Valve. Piracy is a convenience problem, after all, not a pricing problem, and it sure as hell isn’t convenient to have to be subscribed to 5 or more different platforms just to get all the content I’d want to watch.

ipkpjersi ,

It sounds like they have beta support for Linux, so it seems like it’s getting there.

ipkpjersi ,

It depends on the type of games you play. If you’re more like me and you enjoy playing single-player games, then yeah you’re all set. If all you play is Valorant and Fortnite and PUBG and League of Legends, you’re much more likely to have a hard time. Anticheats are a special kind of evil.

ipkpjersi ,

League is playable most of the time but the launcher frequently breaks and there tend to be issues in-game, I’ve randomly had sound just straight up not work, and it tends to require a custom build of wine. It’s far from the most playable gaming experience. There are much better gaming experiences to be had on Linux.

ipkpjersi ,

You can’t just say that and not post it lol

ipkpjersi ,

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll increase the price.

ipkpjersi ,

I’m very glad to have been using Plex/Jellyfin for years, since before HBO Max and Disney+ etc were even a thing. It really is a much better experience.

ipkpjersi ,

It would help a lot more with SEO-friendly URLs. lemmy.ml/post/7417691 is not very SEO friendly at all.

ipkpjersi ,

That would be ideal, you’d have some sort of slugged title in the URL, yeah.

ipkpjersi ,

ER almost made me become a doctor, I could have easily seen myself going down that path. I thought it was much more expensive in my country for medical school than it actually was, so I didn’t go into medicine because of that, and then after I realized I was wrong about how much it would cost it made me realize okay maybe I wasn’t smart enough to be a doctor to begin with.

Silicon Valley inspired me to continue working hard on one of my Java-based personal projects. I’d love to say it’s a hugely massive success and I have hundreds or thousands of customers, but it’s still just a personal project for fun at this point and probably always will be.

Generally you’d have a backup heat source with an air-to-air heat pump for those really cold days like -15C and colder, like a gas furnace or a heating element unit inside (like with electrical coils). Air-to-air heat pumps are more efficient on warmer days, on colder days they would be less efficient but you’d still have a backup heat source so it would still “work”, so the article is still somewhat correct in that sense.

Also, electric baseboard heaters can be quite a bit louder than forced-air systems with a heat pump, so you’d still be better off with a heat pump in those cases.

ipkpjersi ,

CNN isn’t even pro-religion though, and they’ve been very pro-Israel this entire time.

ipkpjersi ,

Surprised it’s not 60% honestly.

ipkpjersi ,

You want to know how long my commute is each morning? It’s 30 seconds. Working remotely will do that for you. Anything else in comparison would feel hellish, yes, and I even used to commute to a job that was 15 minutes away from where I live as my first dev job.

ipkpjersi ,

I’d like to see them fight each other in court. I think that would be interesting.

ipkpjersi ,

So did everyone else lol
