Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is the USA the only country that doesn’t use the metric system?
162·12 days agoWe’re a stupid country rules by assholes and morons.
You just know if someone tried to make a serious push for it, all the fox news types would go into a frenzy. It’d be an easy way to whip up their idiot base.
I accept that your job likely has different cadences than software development, in addition to personal preference.
Most software engineers I’ve talked to don’t like being interrupted in the middle of some deep thought. Especially if it means shelving current work to check out something else
I didn’t mean I need them to keep it digital. I meant I don’t want my train of thought interrupted. A “take a number” and “now serving” sign would work fine, if it gated the conversation until I was ready. Or just they send a message asking to talk and wait for me to say “ok come on over”

poor heating/cooling. Usually offices aren’t a comfortable temperature for everybody.
-
not getting compensated for the commute. It’s a pay cut. Fuck you, management.
-
people that just walk up to your desk and start asking questions. Send a message like “can we talk about XYZ?” and I’ll get to it when I get to it. Though this maybe is a learned behavior from people who are bad at responding to messages.

I had a pair of coworkers that would chat over slack all day. One of them had a laugh. My other coworker at the other side of the large office would message me “what’s so fucking funny over there?”. I never knew because they never shared.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many tabs do you have open on your phone/laptop right now?
1·1 month agoDesktop: 0. It’s off. I close the browser when I’m done
Phone: the number says 64, but only 25 “active”. I should probably prune.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Amanda Watson, the engineer who pioneered the AirLink and several other technologies for Oculus, was hired at Valve.
11·1 month agoI would so much rather just have a full timestamp. I can do the delta fine myself.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is it such a crazy idea that the public should own the means of production?
29·1 month agoRich people don’t want to give anything up.
Assholes don’t want their out-group to have anything nice. Even if it means they suffer.
Many people don’t know shit about fuck, and they’re just trying to get through the week.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me or i feel life is getting more difficult these days?
231·1 month agoMy dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business,
Anyone who sincerely believes that is too fucking ignorant and or stupid to be taken seriously. They’re a hazard to themselves and their polity.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age?
3·1 month agoI think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.
I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/
But I’m not a pizza-ologist.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age?
3·1 month agoSpeaking on behalf of a friend, as I prefer toppings: they discovered that a variety of things give them body problems, and it’s easier to just do a plain cheese pie than to try to guess if peppers are going to upset their body today.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age?
2·1 month agoThe antithesis of a cheese pizza is a pizza with toppings. It’s an idiom, so I wouldn’t recommend thinking too hard on it.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Xbox Game Pass May Soon Work on Linux
41·2 months agoI’m still in the “Microsoft can fuck off and die” camp, so I don’t imagine I’ll be using this.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you guys think the boycott against Playstation is gonna work?
2·2 months agoI suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.
I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you guys think the boycott against Playstation is gonna work?
301·2 months agoNo.
- most people don’t know about it
- many actual children won’t care
- many “gamers” are little better than children

Linux@lemmy.ml•Has anyone tried Amber for writing bash scripts? Would you recommend it?
3·2 months agoInteresting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.

Technology@beehaw.org•Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company
51·2 months agoI guess? But imagine if enough people took a couple minutes to post about how organization XYZ sucks, and (because the stock markets are irrational vibes based) that caused their stocks to drop a few points. That’s the only thing they care about. I’m willing to put in a few minutes if it might emotionally harm an asshole.

Technology@beehaw.org•Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company
6·2 months agoI was going to write “this depends on the ATS used” but I thought that was a safe assumption. Seems not so!
Haha get fucked DoorDash. I’ll pick up my own food before using them.
