@jestdotty I'm so happy I'm solo in my company.

How would that work in multiplayer? I'd love to see time based mechanics in a PVP game.

@YourMom Yes and that's why everything is falling apart. It's all about how your coworkers make you feel and not what they are capable of.

Johnny was able to put together an MVP in a week but he wasn't very good culture fit so we had to let him go.

@retoor So will replacing the melting power adapter for my 5090. I can't shut the case anymore, but the random restarts have stopped.

@retoor I have mine set to reply in a concise way with no filler, so maybe that's why I'm not seeing that. I loathe cutesy crap like emojis coming out of anything I pay for to get work done.

I'm convinced that they add that filler to make their service cost more so you'll have to pay for more responses. Buy screw the sea turtles and the birds, so long as they get theirs I guess.

@retoor There are a minimum of three filters in my case. Not that I explicitly looked for one like that, but when I built this computer, I went a little crazy so it turns out I got a good case too. They are usually pretty dirty, but they are easy to get to so I clean them regularly.

No model that has been lobotomized by the silicon valley priest class will ever come close to anything approaching intelligent, let alone sentient.

@YourMom No other industry is allowed to sell a product then arbitrarily take it away from the user without warning or compensation.

If you want to sell a service that you can unplug at any point, you must properly market it as a service and warn people that they are gambling that their money wasn't just put into something you plan to unplug in 16 months.

On top of the consumer protection angle, there is a lot to be said about the negative cultural impact of games and other types of media just disappearing into the ether at the whims of people that can only see one quarter in front of them.

It's high time the games and software industries be treated like every other industry.

The corporations that spew hundreds of years of one person's pollution per day per vehicle are the ones at fault. Not the average Joe going to the grocery store or work.

The average Joe is also not the one responsible for the entire planet being saturated with forever chemicals and microplastics. They are also not responsible for the entire countries made unlivable due to nuclear and chemical contamination.

They are also not responsible for decades of pollution spewed into the air by volcanoes and naturally occurring wildfires.

But God I hate the sound of engines of any kind ruining my peaceful days, so I'm all for abolishing them as soon as possible.

There is going to be a massive overcorrection of this kind of thing in the next decade. We are seeing the beginnings of it now.

People that just want to live their lives, (read: the vast majority of people) are fed up to the point of taking action, which does not bode well for the ones that have steered society into the dysfunctional mockery that it is now.

Jobs being easy to lose and hard to find were the only thing keeping otherwise docile people from acting.

The best thing you can do in the coming years is blend in with the crowd and not try to force whatever your thing is on people.

@CaptainRant I'm not sure. But the filesystem has also started switching to readonly at random and my audio crackles when I start it up. It's getting real annoying. If wsl worked, I'd be golden.

@LillianQuinn Are you a real person or a spambot? No one having heard of whatever that is might be one of the reasons.

@antigermanist There are people not living lavishly that also don't die in the streets, so I fail to see how that matters. You need some vitamin d or something.

@jestdotty lol no. I keep that in my 4k square foot Morton building as printed hard copies.

One drive is full of LLM/SD models. One full of VM images. Two are full of pictures and movies and videos. One is an archive of old computers and hoarded assorted data. One is the system drive.

@tosensei Virtualbox. HyperV's performance is awful. I tried WSL2, but I couldn't swear hard enough at it to get phpfpm to work.

@rootshell Oh boy trying to get that going originally was a huge headache. For some reason, during the install it would reset the nginx service file which would show the placeholder site for new installs instead of the sites I expected to run when the service restarted. That cost me a couple days.

I imagine he had his hammers and wrenches modified to accommodate his refusal to learn how to use them as well.

@iSwimInTheC To do actual work

@BordedDev Enabled nginx caching, opcache, gave more resources to PHP from, cleaned up a slow shortcode used multiple times on the home page, started using webp, and added placeholder elements and size attributes to images to keep the page from jumping before js kicks in.

I also changed the init script for nginx as part of some TLC that seems to have helped for some reason.

It took weeks because it's something that has technically worked without issue since I started working here 10 years ago so I haven't put a lot of time into it. But the performance was actually affecting the clients so I had to get it figured out.

@kiki Ticktock literally makes me feel uncomfortable when I watch it. Like I'm looking into a 4th dimensional shape or something. YouTube shorts doesn't though, which is strange.

I'd consider most code ever written to be neutral in nature.

It's easy to be a chemist. It's just that staying alive as a hobbyist chemist is pretty difficult.

I have long ago stopped looking very far into anyone involved in anything I enjoy or need. It's just seems like creative types always have skeletons in their closet that I'm not interested in being made aware of.

The first year at my job, I woke up with a solution to a problem that had been haunting me for a week and it actually worked. It's happened a handful of times.

@atheist I get 4 to 6 prompts at most before it starts repeating itself. This is with relatively straightforward PHP and nginx stuff. Is it just that Claude is no good?

In Black Mesa's defense, they were doing pretty well until gman got involved.

@rootshell I would never make such a foolish error.

@donkulator Well, this one is pretty shiny.

I don't really care about the politics of the situation. If the current owner disappeared right now, there would be new maintainers by lunch. It's as good as it gets when it comes to what it is.

The widespread infantilization of everything is violently disgusting.

Woopsie doopsie. You have a bwue scween of unalive :3
