Teams is the worst. Microsoft keeps finding new lows.

Not excited for this to be used to squash union efforts (legally or not)

Valve makes drm easy but I’m pretty sure the developer can choose to not include it. It’d be on you to back up the files in that case, though.

Using a summary written by a soulless lie machine is irresponsible

Most people seem to not even have any notion of how things can be better. They never even think to look up like “block ads”. They just take whatever fuckery they get

Everyone who supported this bill is a climate criminal and should have a punishment proportional to poisoning every living person on the planet.

That’s not a general problem with trains that proves they suck. The suck is places have been built out for cars with other modes as after thoughts.

I live somewhere with much better train and bus coverage, and it makes it easier than driving for the vast majority of trips.

The day to day suffering is because of cars. So fuck cars. Fuck the culture that made them primary.

Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I’m sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features ‘fuck cars’.

Have you?

Trains and buses, when funded, are fine. Millions of people take them every day.

I work from home but I used to daily commute by train. Walk to station. Wait a few minutes. Get on. Arrive at destination. I read so many books and finished so many games.

Do you have the same fear about trains?

Get rid of privately owned cars and you might be on to something. If the state owned a fleet of self driving cars you could rent at the car library, that would probably be better than everyone having their own car they park somewhere most of the time.

Building walkable living spaces with mass transit would be better for more people environmentally, economically, health-wise, socially…

Interesting. We used the free localstack at a previous job and it kind of sucked. Mostly we were trying to do S3, and it made adding a lot of files kind of painful. Looks like this has better support for “I need to load a bunch of files into S3 when I start working”.

Can you map a directory and subfolders to S3 with this, or so you need to make calls to “upload” everything?

There’s still going to be an opportunity cost. You can build massive renewable sources, but powering a data center with it is a shit use compared to other things.

I remember this joke from three panel soul in 2007 https://www.threepanelsoul.com/comic/on-man-law

Tim Sweeney should go away and never come back.

Leadership are mostly idiots. They don’t know how work gets done. They think like “wow it produced so many lines of code!” and don’t know that’s not a useful metric.

My job had Microsoft do a four hour copilot demo for the entire team last week. (Surely an immense expense. They won’t pay for most people to be full time with benefits). The guy used copilot to make a regex to parse html. A little surprised zalgo didn’t show up.

I forgot how much I hated working in an office. Our desks were directly under the vent, so we’d get blasted with cold air. Sales was off in a corner, where it was too warm for them. No amount of adjusting the thermostat would change their local temperature, but they’d try anyway.

In addition to being climate criminals who should all be stripped of their nice things, people who mandate in-office are often causing personal, physical, suffering.

None of the fines for these things are enough. It should be, like, the company is nationalized. The leadership is sentenced to years of community service and barred from working in the industry for life.

“Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you,” Hegseth said in April.

Hegseth is a profoundly stupid person who should not be entrusted to make any decisions. He should be removed from power to spend the rest of his obscured life cleaning up litter or something similarly useful.

That’s also a problem, yes. DRM free is best. I’m extremely reluctant to pay for a game I can’t play offline as much as I want. (Barring MMOs and the like, I guess. Don’t play a lot of those, myself)

All the wealth is being concentrated in the hands of too few people. I’m not going to buy a $120 game when my salary is down, or I’m just laid off.

It’s a demand pointed out the entire capitalist hellscape, of which epic is a part, not them specifically.

Sweeney’s a billionaire. He could be pushing for labor to have a bigger slice of the pie. But he won’t, because he’s a soulless husk.
