[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•How close are you to your siblings?
53·2 years agoI have 2 sisters… We talk and game almost daily. We’re super close.
These other responses are honestly quite shocking.
pirate526@kbin.socialto[Dormant, please move to [email protected]] Movies and TV Shows@lemm.ee•'Shadow and Bone' canceled after 2 seasons, spinoff also scrapped
3·2 years agoAh Gentlemen Bastards… now there’s a rabbit hole with a spike pit at the bottom.

Technology@kbin.social•Fully Jarvis standing desk and Ollin monitor arm review: Is this the ultimate home office setup?
1·2 years agoI’ve had a Fully for over a year now, and it’s killer. Great build quality and it looks special. Doesn’t seem to struggle under my triple monitor setup with several laptops on the table at the same time.
Only problem is that they stopped shipping to several European countries, like Finland.

Technology@lemmy.world•Youtube's Anti-adblock is illegal in the EU
84·2 years agoYep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.
I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.
That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand… but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.

PC Gaming@kbin.social•Valve warns Counter-Strike 2 players: use AMD's Anti-Lag feature, get banned
2·2 years agoI mean, fair enough, right? If you modify CS2 binaries you get banned… this is how some of the protections work and have worked for a while. I’m surprised AMD thought that this was acceptable.
It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here…
I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review…

PC Gaming@kbin.social•Starfield: 32 GPU Benchmark, 1080p, 1440p, 4K / Ultra, High, Medium
2·3 years agoWhat did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.
We have this in Scandinavia… I wonder if it’s related?

World News@lemmy.world•Chinese embassy slams Moscow over Russian border incident
1·3 years agoI see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see…

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•PLEAAASSEE PLEASE COME BACK TO THE OFFICE PLS
101·3 years agoI must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.
I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.
Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.
Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Will airport security (Australia specifically) check for pirated content?
27·3 years agoVeracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.
I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc… but definitely encrypt before upload imo.
pirate526@kbin.socialtoApple@lemmy.world•[ APP STORE RELEASE ] Mlem for Lemmy is live on the App Store!
2·3 years agoPardon the naivety on my part, but can/will this support kbin?
Absolutely goddamn pitiful. Fuck Reddit.

Technology@lemmy.world•The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
2·3 years agoI’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.
On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers… so there’s that.






I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.
Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?
