- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 1 week ago:
A quality apology consists of 3 things:
- An explanation of what you did that was wrong, and why it was wrong
- An explanation of what you’re going to try and change about yourself, to avoid the same mistake
- An expression of remose. I.E. the word “sorry” or “apologize”.
Your proposed apology has all those elements, so you’re already ahead of most folks. But there are a few suggestions for improvement in this thread that I think are also good.
“if you felt so, I apologize”: I don’t read this as you apologizing for how the other person feels, since you clarified that earlier. But I think it’s fair that others might read it that way, so you’re better off eliminating the ambiguity. You’re apologizing for what you did, without considering that others might (validly) consider it inappropriate.
“I’ll try to control myself around you”: similar deal, it should be clear that this is about you, not them. And when it comes to swearing in a workplace, it’s pretty-darn common to consider it inappropriate and unprofessional, no matter who you’re around. Maybe part of your apology needs to focus on how the behavior is unprofessional, and you simply needed help recognizing that, as you’re (possibly?) new to the professional working world.

Option 2 seems like the optimal idea, on paper, if Option 1 isn’t feasible, but Option 3 doesn’t really bother me, if there’s trouble with Option 2’s implementation. I don’t consider privacy at an IP-tracking level really that much of a concern. This is a social media platform, my privacy is my anonymity.
It sounds like maybe Lemmy itself coupd use some enhancement with regard to how and when it decides to proxy, and what it does when proxying fails. If we can get a better experience by swapping to Option 3, until such enhancements are maybe made in the future, that sounds fair to me.

The issue last year was with someone, or many someones, uploading CSAM (child sexual abuse material, I.E. child porn). Like, SPAMMING it out to a bunch of Lemmy servers, which then federated it out across the whole network, in REALLY high volume. Obviously, no one wants to see that, but the legal concern is liability. For some servers, depending on where they’re hosted, that means they can be held responsible for “hosting” the content, once it’s been federated to them.

I’ll wager “no” to your question. That sounds like something the Lemmy codebase itself would have to implement, not smething that’s just configurable.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Hollow Knight 1 month ago:
First game I ever played where I was like “yo, I actively WANT to do the speedrun achievement, and the deathless achievement.” So, first game where I ever did those things. Maybe I’m just crazy, but I found them way easier than I expected.
Also, a prime example of storytelling through music.

Cashier stations with chairs are VERY rare, yes. The general trope is that managers/owners think it makes workers appear lazy.

- Comment on How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ? 2 months ago:
Practice getting up in response to your alarm.
Seriously.
Once or twice a day, in the middle of the day, go lay down in bed, like you’re going to sleep, and set your alarm for maybe 5-10 minutes. The moment it goes off, shut it off and stand up. Teach your body the habit of standing up, immediately, in response to the alarm. So long as you’re getting enough sleep, you’ll start doing it in the morning, on reflex.
- Comment on Darth Vader Didn't Come Alive Until James Earl Jones Gave Him a Voice. 2 months ago:
“I used ‘Darth’ as my handle on the CB radio,” he told the New York Times magazine’s Dave Itzkoff in 2014. “The truck drivers would really freak out—for them, it was Darth Vader. I had to stop doing that.”
“I have altered the speed limit. Pray I do not alter it any further. Over.”
My god, can you imagine just chatting on the radio and that voice suddenly coming out of your dashboard?

Let’s assume the chicken has to reach a temperature of 205C (400F) for us to consider it cooked.
Remind me never to let this guy cook for me.
- Comment on shapez 2 is a big hit with over 150,000 copies sold in less than a week 2 months ago:
They took the genre and distilled it down to the purest gameplay-focused form that they could. And for an Early Access title, it could absolutely be a full release today. No bugs, no performance issues, nothing feels missing or incomplete, except maybe a few minor QoL bits. The success is deserved.

- Comment on would I enjoy tunic? 4 months ago:
It sure sounds like you would like it. I will say that for me, everything about the game is fantastic, except for the combat, which is kinda terrible. Especially the boss fights. Feels to me like they’re trying to mimic a souls-like style, but really really overshot on difficulty.
Basically, I say go for it, but don’t hesitate to drop the difficulty settings, if you’re like me.
Also, get yourself a physical notepad.
Also, also, don’t feel bad about having to look up some stuff for the really late/post-game puzzles. One thing they toom WELL from Dark Souls is the idea of puzzles that are really made to be solved by the collective wisdom of the community, not just you.
Also, also, also, don’t disregard the language puzzle, completely. I did, and when I looked it up later, I wish I hadn’t I wish I’d at least have given it a shot, for myself.
Good luck!
- Comment on Annoying marketing practices 4 months ago:
Absolutely. Like you say, it just doesn’t happen in large streams, and the threshold is probably a lot largerbthan you think, since on average maybe 10% of viewers actually participate in chat. The dynamic starts shifting at around 1,000 simultaneous viewers, in my experience, between chat being readable and interactable, and being just spam. That’s still plenty big enough to qualify for partner, and even make a living off of streaming alone.

- Comment on How to test without mocking 4 months ago:
Sure, go ahead, do all your tests for stuff involving I/O by doing real I/O, and do some containerization or whatever to maintain reproducibility. Don’t come crying to me when your test runtime goes from 10 seconds to 20 minutes, and everyone stops actually running them.

I’ve had a lot of success with this guy.

Supports a variety of different battery sizes, can charge at different rates, goves voltage readouts, and can run full capacity tests.
I was originally only looking for an 18650 charger, but I got way more than I bargained for.

- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 5 months ago:
Agreed, my wife and I had that conversation recently, as it happens. Though, for some things, there are other benefits. Herbs is the best example, even the fresh, packaged herbs that you can buy at a grocery will be noticeably not-as-good as something that you picked fresh in the backyard 2 minutes ago. Dill, basil, thyme, mint, what have you. I’ve found the same to be true of things like bell peppers and jalapenos.
