It wasn’t us, it was the people who used it who really caused the failure.

God preach here. "Our storefront works half the time, is clunky, bulky, filled with flashy ads and no substance, allows no customization, you can’t add your own games, you can’t run it on Linux, and our games will always assume you’re trying to pirate or hack even when we know you just bought the game. Switch over now! You’ll love it!

Once upon a time, after growth companies would shift from a growth stock to a stable stock. Instead of telling wall street “you can make money here” it would mean “you can keep your money relatively safe here”. We apparently don’t do that anymore. Seems like it would have been perfect for them.

For sure, they don’t know how to be a stable revenue, or how to retain users. So we get this clusterfck

Didn’t we just have a bunch of posts saying development was officially done?

Hey now, this doesn’t fit with our narrative of the evil evil company here. Get this out of here! Just because it’s a 2FA app doesn’t negate that it’s microshitz!

Problem with all of these solutions is replication and standing back up in case everything crashes. I had that issue running fma and lxcs with apps on proxmox, it’s a ton of overhead with proxmox.

Ultimately it’s just easier to run docker on a VM and back up that one VM, or even easier the docker volumes. If anything crashes I just take that and spin the containers back up

I feel like most people think that too, yet the studios keep insisting.

I love marvel and Star wars. Doesn’t mean that’s the only thing I want to watch. Hire more writers and make what they suggest ffs

Only thing I can come up with since they own the currency and the value of the currency is profit. Their biggest supporters are probably already spending a ton on awards and they don’t want this to cut into their profit too much.

I was in a parking lot in a more rural area of my state last weekend, and I just had long modded pickup trucks filling every single compact spot. The worst part is that there were no compact cars and those were the only places left. So you kind of feel why they had to park there, except I had to drive into oncoming traffic just to get around them. I’m sick of these giant cars in this stupid culture we have where you have to drive everywhere

Neat, so it’s this a full replacement to auto1111? Is there a docker image?

Aw man, I was excited to answer this, until your second paragraph. What’s so wrong about having blue hair?

You’re looking for a proxy, a way to divvy out requests between the two containers. The proxy will listen on those ports and then split the traffic to the two other containers (which are listening on 2 different ports)

Start looking into nginx reverse proxy, traefik, or caddy

Literally who is their target for these things? They could ask he fandom and get a ranked list of 100 ideas that would make better games and movies.

You know what no one has thought? “Let’s just watch the opening of Two Towers where they’re scrambling through rocks”. No one wants to just watch (or play) gollum. Give us Gondor, big fights, deep lore, ffs.

Actual high speed rail around North America. Every major metropolitan area connected to minimum 150mph speeds.

All of the idiots who joke and make fun of CHSR and Brightline have never truly seen an actual rail system in practice. I read the Facebook comments, they’re all the same. “It would never work here”, “We’re too big”, “Flights would be faster”, “I just like to drive”, blah blah blah. The fact is that they’ve never been outside of the country (and most of them outside of their immediate state area) to ever see what it’s actually like, and have never seen what we’re desperately missing here in America.

Oh and the worst of the complaints, the absolute worst - “It’s a waste of money”. Says Darrel, the guy who has done zero research about rail beyond what conservative pundits have told him, and has absolutely zero idea how much we piss away on highways every year. How much is that new lane on the local freeway costing? No freaking idea do you. But California HSR, they know to the penny how much that’s costing. (You don’t even have to know which freeway I’m talking about, because I know there’s also a freeway near you who is getting yet another lane, everyone in the country has a freeway getting another lane.) Rail though? Oh no… the costs!

I firmly believe this would help ease a lot of the nation’s major problems. Probably not solve, but ease some of them.

• Climate Change (obviously)
• Some of the divide this nation is feeling (because it’d be easier to travel around and actually see)
  • for example, I live in Seattle, there are a lot of conservatives living just 200 miles away who never come because it’s “too far” and we’re “constantly having violent protests”. Well come and see for yourself then. Take a day trip.
• Housing Crisis (immediately nearby cities and towns become commutable)
  • This would also help with income inequality a bit, because all of a sudden you can again commute much farther
• We waste so much land due to parking and driving, relieving that a bit could revitalize downtowns as people would pick up and leave the train in urban centers, renewing development downtown.

This list goes on

How we move around is such a huge part of our daily lives. Most people spend hours a day in their car, burning gas, driving around getting to work, stores, errands, schools, etc. We have made it so damn difficult on ourselves just to move around, and I’m sick of hearing the regurgitated excuses why it “would never work” here.

A couple good videos if you’re curious.

Love it! I’ll work at a national scale, you work at the city scale.

You’re right, double headed problem there, I’d love to see my city really starting to tackle transit

Sounds like that was soon after I worked there, Geek Squad agent myself, back in the “Tech Support” days. Always a pain to explain to customers. “No, tech support is only software” “No, black tie protection is only hardware”. But then you hear how sales people are trained to sell it and they’re essentially told to lie, make the sale no matter the cost. Then managers come over and complain that when people talk to me they don’t want to buy it. Yeah, because I tell them what the actual plan covers and what it doesn’t.

I gave them 5 years, they were a great 5 years, I met a ton of friends, it wasn’t a terribly hard job, and I liked the tech. I left about a year after Hubert came in to run the shop, and things went from the lowest stock price to the highest in my tenure thanks to him. It kills me how much corporate has ruined the company, so out of touch with the stores. They were always out of touch, but for a brief time it was nice.

Oh my fuck that stupid fucking horrible credit card. So so so many people they wanted me to push it on who were definitely NOT in the position to have one. If you’re struggling to put together $400 for your kid’s college laptop the last thing you need is some high pressure manager telling you that this credit card will save everything. Just ignore the 29% APR and different ways to try to get you to forego payments and rack up interest as long as possible.

I did sales to start for the first couple of years. For a while I had the best sales in my department. They asked me what I did in a meeting. I told them, I’m honest with people. If someone works in tech, why should I push geek squad services? Get to know them, find out they have a baby, maybe they need accidental instead. Buying a new printer? Fuck the HP, get the brother and an extra ream of paper or something. You’re a single woman living alone, steady job, just want a second computer? Why do you need accidental, but maybe tech support if you willingly tell me you have gotten a lot of viruses before. I sold them what I thought would be most useful to them. Of course you know how that meeting went. “Wait, you aren’t selling cOmPlEtE PaCkAgEz?!” But my sales remained steady so they couldn’t do anything, and then I transferred to geek squad shortly after.

I’m not surprised at all they couldn’t even get the balls together to just fire you, they chickened out.

wow, it sounds like they did the exact perfectly wrong approach to layoffs. (When I was laid off I researched how companies do them).

The goal should be to do one big layoff - once. This sounds horrible, but it actually helps morale in the longrun because you can tell your people you did it once so it doesn’t have to happen again. (Assuming the company is in fact in dire straits). Morale will go to zero, some employees will leave, but it will rebuild, and trust will (eventually) be restored.

What you don’t want to do is several layoffs, because each succeeding layoff morale drops even lower and more and more people leave voluntarily, and you never rebuild that trust, because there is no reason to. Anxiety that you’ll lose your job keeps growing, fearing that you’ll be next, and you have no idea when. So, you might as well just let everyone go and start over.
