  This is great news.

  However highlighting the “enormous amount of effort” came off as immflamatory as a headline. Now to prove to them that we appreciate the effort they put into this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is sick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad my employer says, “you’ve been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.” even though I’ve accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

  I’m fortunate that I don’t work for a shitty company anymore.

  There’s a ton of work in green energy and water management.

  When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

  Also, the software engineering field isn’t going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the leaf icon behind some users' names on Mbin and why can't you see them on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What?

  New users.

  github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pull/969

  Not on lemmy?

  Because it’s a Mbin UI customization.

  Lol… The Twitter offices are even in a nicer area of the SF business district. I’ve walked around that building many times in the middle of the night and during the day and have never felt unsafe.

  What a weirdo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Elden Ring is probabaly the easiest game that From Software has made.

  I however don’t like the default multi-player design of FS games and waited for the Seamless Co-op mod to be released and then picked it up to play with friends as a tough open world MP adventure.

  RE: Seafault MP Design -

  I think it’s poor design to offer incentives for players to be anonymous assholes to other players. Game Studios have spent millions of dollars investing in research and technologies to reduce game community toxicity. And if you attempt to play a FS game outside the first month of release in MP mode, prepare to have your fun ruined.

  Dell is out there just proving that the best promotions are external promotions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Futuristic movies timeline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a diverging bar chart sorted by the date in which the film was supposed to take place.

  The vertical line on 2000 represents the “Distant Future, a new millennium” that a lot of sci-fi and dystopia media looked at in the past.

  The left side of that bar represents the ~year the film was produced in our reality.

  The right side of the bar represents the year that the film takes place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frack you, Walmart⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. OP mentioned this also happened outside in the parking lot and was implying active blocking.

  2. There’s ways for stores to work with telecoms to get service broadcast inside the warehouse/building as well to get around the natural passive blocking from the building materials.

  I was well aware of the difference between active and passive blocking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frack you, Walmart⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is more likely a coverage issue than Walmart illegally blocking signal according to FCC regulations.

  Report the coverage issue to Verizon and your local Walmart. Both of which will want to increase coverage of where people are gathering. This is because as bad coverage areas in places where people gather causes people to switch services or stop going to those gathering areas if there’s alternatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not broken...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, composite & RCA are synonymous with eachother. IIRC it’s the difference between the connector name & cable name similar to rj-4 connector l/port vs cat-# cables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not broken...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These are the cables I was familiar with way back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not broken...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I had a TV in the 80s that had vhf/uhf tuning dials and coax as qell since it was “cable ready”. Transitional era technology is fun like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's not broken...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  HDMI/Composite to coax convertor if that TV was recent enough to be “cable ready”, otherwise you’ll then need a coax uhf/vhf/fm adapter in the chain.

  IIRC, back in the day, there were even composite-to-vhf adapters, but I can’t seem to find any currently sold so either my memory is lying to me or they’re no longer produced.

  I’m an American, I won’t get the luxuries of the EU court rulings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And you’ll have a choice to not install them. Or to install versions that you know how they were trained and have guardrails you approve of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision/Blizzard QA workers form the largest US video game union yet⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could agree on the /s being sardonic over sarcasm. With how irony has been slowly redefined over the years I can see how people could preceieve why that would be a sarcastic statement and accepted as such, cus language changes over to time and whatnot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Activision/Blizzard QA workers form the largest US video game union yet⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s not sarcasm.

  Those are things the Blizzard employees have had happen to them. The boys club that was going on there was horrific and the women that worked there went through a ton of shit.

  They likely fall under already exiting tech related unions.

  The Teamsters Union even has a tech worker umbreall now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JBL debuts replaceable batteries for its new portable Bluetooth speakers at CES 2024⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome first step.

  Now if only the EU (because the US would never) would add some regulations for battery for factor standards as well as regulations on requiring battery swapping of electronics.

  I’m tired of tearing down my devices every 1-3 years to replace a simple battery pack to extend the life of a device that should last 10+ years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saints Row developer Volition permanently shuts down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This has more to do with Embracer Group’s June announcement for upcoming large scale restructuring, layoffs, and studio closures than anything else. Embracer has even hit hard at studios that were profitable or had games in the pipeline that were expected to be a huge sales success.

  As much as I love games, the industry is a tough place to work, and the layoff cycles are striking once again.
