How do you pronounce gift?

Calling a restaurant, in this economy?

Yep! Huge red flag.

I can’t draw for shit, but I’m excited to see the results!

I like it.

I suggest we name them after the executives rather than the corporations.

I wasn’t necessarily calling you an asshole, it’s just a quote that represents what the other commenter was talking about.

To answer your initial question, I haven’t personally noticed Lemmy being more toxic than other platforms like it. Most conversations I’ve had have been pleasant. But I tend to avoid commenting on hot button topics. You commented on a topic that people feel strongly about and got angry comment replies. I wouldn’t say that necessarily represents the site as a whole. But both of our experiences are anecdotal so it’s difficult to say which is more common.

“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”

so how would a smart person react to this?

I would just start working the same way they do. If you’re the only one with that work ethic and picking up their slack you’re probably enabling them to be lazy because they know it will get done. If things stop getting done in a timely manner someone higher up may notice and do something about it then hopefully everyone will have to start contributing again. Also might be worth talking to your boss about it.

I’m not sure how common this situation is, but I’d assume different places have different work cultures. Looking for another job is a good idea, hopefully you’ll find a place that’s a better fit.

Kids.

What about solar freakin’ roadways?!

I misunderstood, I thought they had to be eligible to be on the ballot, but it does make more sense that they have to be eligible by the time they take office.

To get on a ballet every state has a different filing date, none of them are after she’s old enough.

“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

Not early enough to get on the ticket.

That’s the neat thing, Crowdstrike bypassed the rigorous testing process to get Kernel software updates signed by Microsoft by having the part that was tested and signed by Microsoft load another update file. Still unclear how Crowdstrike missed it before releasing it though.

This is a pretty good break down of what happened by a retired windows dev. Including how software operates between Kernel and user zones. The break down of what he thinks happened is about 6:40.

Windows 98 SE or riot.

Nuke and Pave is the only solution.

The hype leading up to its reveal was wild.

I came to terms with getting old a very long time ago. Being able to play games at a high level requires hand to eye coordination and dexterity that sadly degrade as you age. It’s not surprising that top players are younger. It’s exciting to hear that a younger generation is picking up a game from my early adulthood. What’s even more wild are the ones competing in games like Tetris, a game from my childhood.

The first game I ever beta tested.
