- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 1 day ago:
Laziness because it is literally their job. I’ve done it a hundred times and I have no other explanation.
- Comment on UPDATE: I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title appeared on another Steam game as they plan to release before I do. 1 day ago:
Congrats to both of you. It’s nice of him to have changed the name of his game.
- Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do? 4 days ago:
Yes, too late to change the name, but it’s a stupid idea, you have way more momentum and hype than the other guy. Don’t bother about him.

I guess it’s too late to change the name of the game, but when you think about it, the “clone” is a shitty game that won’t get a lot of downloads if any. I’m only a gamer, but your whole Steam page is way more enticing.
You could create a small website with links to the Steam page (and Bluesky and Twitter…) as a reference. The other guy won’t waste more time on his project. I saw your Posts history on Lemmy, and you have a lot of upvotes and conversations about that game, it’s something that the clone guy cannot reproduce easily, he would be roasted very fast if he tried that.
- Comment on Can someone help me get Pygame working? 4 days ago:
I would use
uvand install Pygame in a virtual environment. Link: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/I never install packages with apt, it’s always clunky. And it’s worse when you have to hack the sys.path.

They are moving very slowly, which is a good thing.
- Comment on How can I earn 100$ (before tax) in 24 hours? 2 weeks ago:
I was reluctant to post that because it’s a bit off-topic but it’s true. It’s the kind of businessman who read a few books on HTML and sold his crap to local people.
A friend of mine has one web site with that guy (and that’s how I discovered the scam), and I told him I would take care of it for the price of the hosting ($10 + domain name and stuff every month instead of $1600), but anyone can do that if they have the guts and/or balls and/or lack of empathy to contact and scam people.

If you are an average web developer, here is a scam that I discovered recently:
There is one guy who makes the shittiest web sites for local communities, cities, or nonprofits. The kind of web site that contains a few articles or piece of news. This asshole charges each client up to $2000 a month for “maintenance” which is mostly “add an article every 6 months.”
It’s the kind of job that you could do with any blog subscription (like WordPress or Ghost) for $20 a month, and you could charge it $500 or less. 1 client, $500 every month for five minutes of work, forever.
If you can convince people that your method is cheaper and better, you could be a billionaire overnight.
- Comment on Someone just made DOZENS of "UFE_LOI" communities across Lemmy.World 2 weeks ago:
3 comments and no post is weird. Modding 50 communities feels like spam, or looks like reddit.

Do you have a link? While “spam” is not a problem yet on Lemmy, I agree that we have weird users sometimes.
- Comment on What is the point of this community compared to asklemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Your question is only valid in this community.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on South Park's take on trump both in 2016 and 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Still funny after 29 years, it’s impressive. They lasted way longer than the Simpsons.
I’m sad they only did one AI-generated video of Trump.
- Comment on Could we create an adventure/treasure hunt game involving git ? 2 weeks ago:
I doubt you really need to speak to them for anything. It would be better if you could properly describe what you have in mind because I don’t think you really understand what git is.
- Comment on Could we create an adventure/treasure hunt game involving git ? 2 weeks ago:
You could do that in order to spread the data across the commits instead of the files, but that would be really useless and annoying to create.

Without doxxing yourself, we can only assume that you hang around stupid people. Don’t bother.

it wasn’t a mature way to deal with it.
The lack of violence or bad reaction is very mature IMHO.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon on Android.

We knew that from the stupid predictions.
- Comment on Amount of paper I used in one school year 3 weeks ago:
That’s a very small amount. You should use more, and understand that Google is not your friend.
- Comment on If AI is so smart, how come it doesn't track the time and date? 3 weeks ago:
It is not smart.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 4 weeks ago:
What’s the point? Seems like “hurr durr number go up”
That’s the whole point. I love it.

If you want something as cringe as “The Narwhal Bacons at Midnight,” yes!
- Comment on Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00 4 weeks ago:
In France it’s more like 9 to 6 with one hour to eat, and no paid overtime. We’re fucked.

Random crap from a generative AI, I don’t think you should burn brain cells on that thing.
- Comment on Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist? 4 weeks ago:
Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist.
We actually do all the time. He’s the president of the most powerful and wealthy nation on earth. Most presidents cannot contradict him even though they all think he is an idiot.

When did you start? I guess there are more idiots than before that create and consume this kind of content.

Scenario #1
Parents: we will buy a new laptop
Me: buy a Mac, it’s easy and you can keep it for years
Parents: we bought the most shitty Acer/Whatever computer ever in a Walmart because the salesman was nice to us, we also bought a subscription to the shittiest antivirus ever, it says it protects our DNA or bodily fluids from the North Korean hacksters, is it good? We also bought an Office subscription even though we use it once a yearScenario #2
Parents: we will buy a new TV
Me: don’t buy a smart TV, don’t buy Samsung, don’t buy anything more than full HD because you’re almost blind and it’s not worth it
Parents: we bought a gigantic 8K Samsung smart TV because the salesman loved us and got us a $10 coupon on that $1000 TVScenario #3
Parents: we will buy a new phone
Me: buy an iPhone, it’s simple
Parents: we bought the shittiest Samsung ever and it comes with an antivirus and a cloud subscription, also why is it broken all the time?And that’s why I don’t give them advice anymore.
