  They do have this, unless I’m not understanding. I run a space (same as discords servers) and in there I have channels that are just like discord’s.

  They always forget that others deserve to have places without cars. Seriously why do they need to drive through a park. It’s a park.

  Impressive, if it’s true. Would be interesting to see. So far I’ve seen flux 2, which would require way more GPU! Han I have, and queen image which seems on par with flux 1. This could get me to finally up my pipeline

  Yeah when the company is looking to cut as much cost as possible, if it’s not an indefinite strike then you’re just telling them ahead of time that they should probably just let you all go

  The I learned the hard way years ago that that the one thing the company doesn’t want is a loud employee. It doesn’t matter what the issue is, who it’s about, if I can get the company in trouble or put some in an awkward position they don’t want you.

  That’s why HR is such a dangerous place to go, they’re not looking out for you, they’re looking out for the company. By going to HR at all. You just prove that you are someone who can and will speak out, which is bad for the company. Whether that’s complaining about a co-worker or something the company is doing, it doesn’t matter, it shades you in a negative light because you are willing to speak out

  Neither do I, but from other platforms it’s only a matter of time until you’re prompted for it. You join a server where someone has posted something NSFW before, or the server admin “to be safe” set it to adults only, or they just clamp down on the definition of adults only. At some point I fully expect it’ll force me to.

  Best I’ve done is try to minimize the hassle by hosting myself, and giving a how-to guide. My group is small, I’ve been sitting down individually with them showing them how to migrate

  Revolt (now Stoat) is an option, personally I don’t like it because there is no federation and it’s text-only.

  I’m using Matrix, with Element, which does have encrypted voice chat if you set it up. I want federation because I don’t want my users to be locked into only my server. However, the bar for entry is higher.

  It was so creepy! Completely lost the plot, and the whole purpose of the movie too, so hated it for many reasons.

  If we don’t warn them about it they’ll obviously be unhappy they should knowww!

  (In reality they get confused, they leave, and then they keep using the corpo controlled version)

  Please remember as people are looking for places to go to be kind. The reason Linux took so long to “take off” is because us linux folks (myself included) were proud of the high bar to entry. Encourage people to be curious, help them learn the ropes, don’t bog them down with technical details or the battles that have been taking place on X technology over Y technology. Offer an open easy place for them to come talk.

  Once they get the foot in the door for a few months we can show them how awesome Linux is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy parked his car on the sidewalk, right outside a school⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same happens in commercial areas too. New businesses want to open, but due to parking mandates they have to demo other older buildings to be brought up to parking code. Asinine.

  Oh crap this is a huge problem that they might have solved! I’ll be trying this out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy parked his car on the sidewalk, right outside a school⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, rather than giving out free taxpayer funded subsidized parking, they could… Not drive there.

  We already have parking mandates in most cities. It’s why all of America looks the same, flat spread out big box suburban nowheres. Parking mandates have been proven not to work and the methodology behind them at best is complete guesswork.

  The solution is for people to have other options besides driving.

  Trust Ubisoft to take an actual good creative idea that piqued my interest, and to kill it off. Coming up next, another assassin’s creed that is exactly like the last one.

  I think it was good, but not memorable. It was… Fine. It was a fun romp, I don’t feel like I wasted it, but I don’t think there needs to be a huge franchise either.

  I’m all for fine games. Not everything needs to be red dead levels and they did that with outer worlds. That said, I was shocked when Microsoft wanted 80 bucks for it when the first one was clearly a 40 dollar game

  Same as here in the states. Rural people happily eat up that the city is unsafe, and they happily believe they are so much smarter than everyone else for not living in the city and being murdered every other day.
