even if the mythical "sit at home playing video games all day forever" type of ubi recipient existed, it would be worth 20 of those for the chance that my taxes would fund one obsessive hacker who ports free operating systems to broken old reverse engineered hardware just for the fun of doing it

I have only one opinion on ink pens & it is: clips are some bullshit & I resent having to be mindful of where they are when writing.

pho4cexa,
@pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website avatar

@Binder the recent set of very cool pens and mechanical pencils i picked up in japan omit the clip, but still feature at least a little bump, so that they don't easily roll off an inclined surface

and the cuter ones of these have a hole through the bump where you can attach a charm-chain

@Binder also a culture that supports the massive and ubiquitous stationery stores where you can wander around with stars in your eyes browsing all that fun stuff

Hey, can anyone tell me some games where you start off in a trashed base, or even just ruins, and you've gotta fix it up?
Bonus points for sci-fi, NPCs who'll move in, and town management.

@MachineLordZero ehh, it's probably not exactly what you're looking for, but mindustry is scifi and some scenarios have leftover ruins that you can take over if you choose to (but often easier to delete and build your own). no npcs, no town management.

    unit tests? actually, we subscribe to a more modern systems-thinking philosophy: "the specification of a system was what it does"

    you see, there is no point in claiming that the stakeholders specified that a system should do what the system constantly fails to do

    The absolute gall of this question. A required question, mind you.

    @grendel84 an employer asking this question is illegal in 17 states and 17 more localities https://www.salary.com/resources/guides/salary-history-inquiry-bans/

    not that that stops anybody

    whoops make that 22 states and 22 localities. check out this garbage website aimed at "human resources" people that lists the bans in danger-red https://www.hrdive.com/news/salary-history-ban-states-list/516662/

    seeing smarter people than me complain here about what's being said on orange site or facebook or reddit or a reddit-clone makes me feel like i long ago figured out some kind of secret lifehack for wellness 😎

    (just stop looking at them. pretend they don't exist. forget. shun. killfile. cauterize. nullroute. defederate them from your consciousness. it's wonderful. you won't miss them. and if you do, you'll build something better to replace them instead)

    listening to a song and the chorus is "something something make your eyes light up"

    🧠 this song is about a robot bf

    @pho4cexa@tiny.tilde.website avatar

    chorus:

    🎶 i can be a fighter if you want, if you want 🎵

    🧠 this is a romantic song about an rpg character who would endure all the penalties of going cross-class at their next level-up in order to better balance the party

    🧠 🎶 i can be a wizard if you want, if you want 🎵

    🧠 🎶 i can be a ranger if you want, if you want 🎵

    maybe mozilla should spin firefox off into an independent project to be developed by the community so they can dedicate full focus to greed and bullshit. i'm thinking you could call this innovative new project a "network landscape communicator," maybe a net-scape of some sort. i wonder if netscape.com is available

    every one of the 2438 days i've been on this tiny masto instance that lives in its admin's basement has been more enjoyable than any of the 2438 days i was on twitter

    and that includes when when we were offline because a whole-city power outage outlasted the ups and the stored charge in several lawnmower batteries he lashed together to eke out a bit more uptime 😲

    cheers @insom, better admin than all of twitter engineering combined imho, thank you for the generous gift of 6⅔ years here

    The name "house spider" is a generic term for different spiders including Chiracanthium inclusum, Badumna Insignis, Steatoda grossa, Parasteatoda tepidariorum, among others, so named for their repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120 beats per minute. The species evolved due to selective pressure by Chicago's underground club culture in the late 1970s, as DJs began altering disco songs to give them a more mechanical beat.

    copy pasting that toot so i can edit it without spamming notifications to everybody who fav'd it already

    not as an opportunity to scam extra favs off those same people who liked it the first time

    well, not only to get extra favs off those people
