What other red flags do you have in mind?

Steam, my Steam library and Proton could disappear. But at least it will have supported a big traction in the ecosystem : Wine, DXVK, Lutris, Heroic Launcher, Bazzite, etc… are all open source projects (so they can’t really disappear) that have never moved as fast as they are today.

I play Dofus, both in desktop and gaming mode. The fact that a tactical turn-by-turn RPG optimized only for keyboard an mouse is playable on gaming mode feels so empowering, it certainly took some time to configure bindings though 😅

As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).

Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛

Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.

I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.

Tbh I am not surprised there are people who don’t know what cut is. When I was in school a lot of people around me though it was just the graphical button to delete things. I think UI tried to solve the problem since them : cutting won’t delete a file but will just shade it, which makes it more obvious that you should do another action.

Same issue but with sleep time 😱

Yeah, I don’t understand how you could make installing vim simpler than pacman -S vim? Is it about “-S” being less obvious than “install”?

I subscribed to a pack for “most streaming services in my country” because I earn enough money now and wanted to try being honest. But I will very probably not renew it, I pay 50€/month, but still use Plex almost as often :

1. The web apps suck, the mobile ones are often worse (laggy, contrast changes while watching, lack of features …)
2. Some shows are not available in a decent quality : in France we have Kaamelott, owned by Canal+, they probably made an intern upload the episodes so it’s only available at 360p
3. They try to control what you watch : the “continue watching” section of Netflix has been randomly placed between line 1 and 4 for a while now, seemingly just to push their bulshit recommendation algorithms that will me watch yet another cheap copycat
4. Some “premium” movies are not part of any subscription (eg. Puss In Boots 2)
5. Some show may not be available anywhere when shady exclusivity contracts expire (eg. “Au service de la France” was only available through piracy last time a friend tried to watch it) …

Sooooo … I was ok with the services sucking but I can’t be okay with them so obviously not trying to improve.

It’s also incredible how I was pirating everything else when I was a teenager (video games, books, audio, …) and managed to stop almost immediately when I received my first salary.

Ow, this one seems to particularly suck 🙁

So we’ve reached the point where the web doesn’t exist anymore in the general opinion, it’s just wall gardened apps now ? 🙁 #web4.0

I think smart watches had a few iterations before they found how to sell them. Now it’s mostly marketed around health, which I don’t recall being the case a few years ago?

I’m not surprised so many would buy it, but it surprised we reached this number before the first reviews. That a brand new line of product and I’m not even sure what people will use it for 😶

On a more positive note, Facebook and XFormerlyKnowAsTwitter are not essential parts of the internet. You can choose to not use or care about them. It is much harder to not use NTP, and it’s great that it is an open and comprehensible standard 👌

Does the ninth person have two different earpieces !? Common !

TBH Disney is already mostly producing shit, Pixar movies were still kinda good I think ?

I suppose there are a lot of companies who would be glad to make you pay for their proprietary video standard, we would just pay for something formerly free 😟

So next LTS might have to be resilient to the 2038 bug (32 bit signed timestamps overflow). I wonder how many softwares are vulnerable 🤔

Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.
