Dafuq is a Walmart+

Is that like a Walmart but with extra weirdos from your local community?

Shitposts getting literal over here.

That’s not a statistic, its a news headline reporting on a chain of events.

The social players all moved over to FFXIV

LLMs can’t count.

This. Throwing your trash on the ground because you can’t find a trash can amounts to childish entitlement in my eyes.

No trash cans in the forest, is OP saying they just litter all through nature when they go camping?

When I got into computers the tech that trained me in my first coop placement in high school told me, on day one, “Anyone who ever tells you they know everything about computers is an idiot.”

Still resonates with me today and I always tell juniors the same.

Meanwhile Western leaders are still putting their fingers in their ears going “Nah nah nah, this is a war between neighbours”

How many foreign nations need to out boots in Ukraine on Russia’s side before NATO wakes the fuck up to the fact that WW3 has begun, exactly? 10?

Uhm, been a while since I had to think of this but pretty sure you used to need to do that the other way around. Sync before unmount, else things may still be being written to disk.

Same, zero cats.

Lol, Niantic coding anything that actually works well is hilarious.

I’d also argue that Ingress players likely gave them way more useful data than PoGo

Fetal Heart “custody”?

I mean if it’s a fetus I’m pretty sure the mother gets custody by default.

Still not ready to trust AMD/ATI again. I used them exclusively right up until they bought ATI and then decided fuck open source and the drivers for Linux tanked.

I hear all the issues folks have had with Intel/NVIDIA but I have yet to experience any of them. From where I’m sitting they are still working great. And their open source has not been perfect but its consistent. Instead of going from being golden to fuck you Linux folks overnight.

First time I’ve seen it.

Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.

In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a ‘dessert’. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.

Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

We don’t have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.

Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed… and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.

On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.

This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don’t call family or friends usually, they don’t get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.

I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD

Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.

DuckDuckGo is still the main one but the Bing results annoy me (MSN news proxied articles from other news sites)
