- Comment on So Long to Tech's Dream Job: It’s the shut up and grind era, tech workers said, as Apple, Google, Meta and other giants age into large bureaucracies. 1 day ago:
I worked for Unity until recently. They have spent the last four years shifting from what they used to be into a beurocratic stress factory. I started at the tail end of them clinging to what they used to be and I was sold on that kind of work culture. Half dozen mass layoffs, two new CEOs, and most the old guard deciding to retire or find greener pasture, the place is a shell now.
Everyone left was scared and depressed or thinking they’d be the chosen few by sucking up. The team I was in was one of the last holdouts but hiring freezes and budget cuts meant every one of us that left was a lost headcount. When I left we were nearly 1/3 smaller and everyone remaining had to pick up all that slack plus new work.
Working there used to be vibrant and fun. Creatives and tech coming together to make a tool we were proud of. It rotted from the top down.

Doesn’t ‘ant’ mean not and ‘arc’ is without? So it’s really closer to ‘without penguins’ and ‘not without penguins’

I bought a laptop with a Swedish keyboard since I’ll be studying there for a few years. It’s a learning curve for sure and this face is accurate

I go to various small punk shows all the time often they’re not even at a venue. Someone looking like this image is not the person who smells bad. Besides, a homeless crust or gutter punk isnt half as bad as when I meet a tech bro who looks crisp but never learned the art of washing their asshole

I’m in Seattle there’s a long history of nudity here. Thank you for the concern though

Literally on my way to hang out naked in a park. I love this city

Disgusting! Where is a link so I can be sure to avoid those sonic stickers?

Hell yeah this is incredible! You’ve been such a consistent part of Lemmy, I put you up there with Picard maneuver for staple community members. If you do stream I’d love to watch :3

I keep my feed on top 6 hours so don’t always see your posts. Every time I do though it makes me happy and feel grounded. I had a different account earlier but I remember when you first started and these have been a regular part of my online experience ever since
- Comment on Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report 5 weeks ago:
I’m rabid and hungry because Bethesda has fucked up everything they’ve touched lately and I want something that makes me feel like how old Bethesda games did. Give me Morrowind remaster damnit, and Bethesda didn’t even make Fallout 2 and NV they’d butcher remaster/remakes

I would guess mud and they’re screaming because they got dragged off to be sprayed with water
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 5 weeks ago:
I spend most my time on the phone socializing anyway. I’m addicted to feeling connected with people I care about not “little flashy lights”. I’m not at coffee shops to meet people I’m there to change pace for a minute and reset before I move to another task. If I’m specifically with someone then sure I talk to them but usually I want to be anywhere else because coffee shops in Seattle are so loud I can’t hold a conversation

Not who you asked, but I wear heels because I’m a tall trans woman and I want to be towering and instantly noticable when I walk into any space. Also they make a nice sound when I walk
- Comment on It's the dream 1 month ago:
I hear it at the end of almost every single meeting and it’s typically for less than five minutes. I’ve had people get near the end of a meeting, extend it by half an hour, but only go 15min over, and then still say they’re giving us time back

What if they meant there is the same number of weird people but they aren’t as weird
- Comment on Postal 2 Redux is bringing back the controversial FPS with a full remaster 2 months ago:
Hell yeah I love to see it! Unironically one of my favorite games, some of the best level design out there, boldly critiques game design and the people who are offended by games. They had an anniversary update a while back that added content and qol out of nowhere 20 years after release. I’m excited

- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 2 months ago:
People talk with each other in person while shopping too though. There’s not really anything different from being on a phone in public and talking to someone next to you in public. If people are being super loud that’s annoying sure but that happens without a phone too

I’m dealing with a lot of this for getting into Swedish university. I had to provide proof of finances which is about $1100usd/no for 2.5 years. I’m basically full throttle on applying and I may not hear back before school starts. I have some leeway but I’m lining everything up as if I’m going to get there on time so we’ll see

- Comment on 7 for me 2 months ago:
Pre surgery was 18 most the time with a crushing longingness for being able to do 20 without my dysphoria flopping around every time I moved. Post surgery is 20 most of the time unless I’m extra leaky then it’s 18 or 19 depending on what I grab out of the hamper. Not pictured here but I also have “socks always on” variety of autism so I have socks while sleeping too. If it’s really cold I’ll sometimes switch it up to jammies but I’m more likely to add blankets than clothes

Omg thank you I thought the picture was the seat of a car and could not figure out the perspective or color choice at all

They have an international prototype sack of flour in an old missile silo in Kansas. Ultimately that’s what all the measurements are relative to

- Comment on Sweet pic 3 months ago:
O’Rear used a Mamiya RZ67 medium-format camera on a tripod and Fujifilm’s Velvia color film that saturated green and blue colors.[7][10]: 2:29 [11] He credited the combination and said that if he had shot with 35 mm film, it would not have had an identical result.
Claim is it hasn’t been edited but it did use film that saturates certain colors by default

Yeah fam if you haven’t already you should get your lungs screened. Asbestos and insulation can cause some really bad stuff
