Nope! My company is private after getting bought last year and they are definitely fucking it up with "ai all the things" and "ai makes us more human" and strip mining out our actual work culture and replacing it with an even more soulless grind

my company's ceo went from seemingly a down to earth founder of the company who supported queer rights to an exploitatively rich board director who describes his employees as "loyal human capital"
it's about control and power and wealth and it sucks how good some of them are at seeming ok before they get it
it is simultaneously overrated yet exactly deserving of all the praise it gets
the way it encourages cooperation with a stranger is staggeringly rare in games and i wish there were more things like it
i have complicated feelings. on one hand: yes, people deserve to be able to, but also:
how much is this just going to be used by the state to coerce people into killing themselves?
there are so many underlying factors that go into treating mental health beyond just "therapy and medication", and from what my canadian friends tell me, mental healthcare is about as bad or worse in canada as it is in the usa. it's not properly covered by standard healthcare from what i have learned, so if you are too poor to get treatment, this will probably be used to just. expunge poor people from existence.
i use it to run my forums and it's significantly better than any experience i've had with phpbb. i don't know how much an activitypub plugin would be actually useful for it, given that that's basically a niche for a niche, but if all you want is a community forum that gets delineated into different categories and has a fairly robust user-driven tagging system, you could do worse for replacing Lemmy imo
the biggest downside is that it's not very friendly for low-engineering experience admins, especially if you want it to scale outside of a single computer it's running on (separating the db from the web traffic, for instance)
my mom would tell me this a lot and did this weekend but this is the first time ive felt like i will not pass properly unscathed any more. but it will pass.
i will never not simp for shiv silent. easily my favorite way to play. wonderful game.
i like to play what I call A20EZ cuz I'm not the best at the game: play A20 on custom, with sealed draft, vintage and the ending modifiers. it's very fun to just start with a strong deck and get tons of relics!
it also feels like it teaches me what is actually strong in terms of raw card synergy, which has been very nice for learning how to get better at the game without suffering through being bad at the game as much.
with how hard tech has rallied against remote work this is 100% aimed at justifying return to office
Played League since open beta... got into HotS and never looked back until it crashed and burned. Don't think I could get into a moba again.
...unless HotS makes a comeback... i do miss my baby abathur...
work has sucked ASS this week, in a capitalists-are-looting sense, but i finally made some new music again and i really like how it sounds so im riding that high
If you like old adventure games, ps_garak on twitch often streams with his friends
this is so funny because FB literally tracks and stores every piece of data about you possible in any context it can regardless of if you are a FB user or not. he hates his own business model
