we have 60 ppl, it varies

not with sound

That’s because crappy mobile game art looks like 1993 computer games :)

Who am I to impose my foreign way of life on em?

Why would you? We dug the hole, we’ll either bootstrap ourselves out of it or start Hitler 2.0 with an established military complex and nukes.

At least we finally answered the Fermi Paradox.

300 Billion dollar portfolio, 34 Billion dollar loss (~22 Billion after he writes it off in “taxes”) and he has his own right-wing media company chocked full of nutters.

I don’t think he cares much about the individual Billions much these days. Half his Tesla stock is securing his debt.

Thats why they put hand in quotes… it was sarcasm implying that the character needs to see a doctor about his depression

trying to sue you in court.

Hmm, You’d probably get by fine representing yourself. Given it’s a bad idea…

I’d probably pick up a remote side job to work during the first job and store about 10k away to handle eventual legal fees. You wouldn’t need much of a lawyer to defend yourself.

We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.

I keep staring at the current season of lower decks. I’m waiting for the finale so I can binge it and rip that Band-Aid off real quick.

May Hulu pick it up and keep going!

Oh damn, I just started learning Godot yesterday…

Spoiler: May be Horizon multiplayer

I worked for a healthcare / health insurance place some time ago. They monitored absolutely everything. They had everything. We ran appliances to Man in the Middle HTTPS sites, We had sneaky SMTP servers that would detect credit card numbers or social security numbers block the emails from going out and send them to a secure web portal. The recipient would just get a message that there’s a secure message waiting for them and they have to go login and retrieve it.

These days if you run slack Enterprise, The workspace managers can get access to even the most private of chats. I’m not sure about teams I’ve managed to stay away from it. I believe you could do this in Gchat but it would probably require a lot of legwork maybe somebody makes an application for it already I don’t know.

I didn’t mean to say that no companies would go for it has anybody even just running small business versions of software don’t have access to that kind of thing, The places that have any intent on decent operational security are going to want their tentacles into all the things.

Dunno, I was involved on some of the Zynga titles, so maybe I’m biased.

Two looks really decent. Maybe One could have had a few more cosmetic upgrades. It looks to me like maybe they leaned in a little hard into HDR.

If they were going to take the art much further than they did it probably would have been prudent just to make a new version.

No no, I disagree I think that shoving AI into all these apps is a solid plan on their behalf. People are going to stop recall and shut it off. So instead they put AI components into every app, It now has the right to overview everything you’re doing and every app collects data on you sending it home to update their personalized models for you so they can better sell you products.

It’s all the Dunning-Kruger effect. We are cursed to continually fail on the side of you don’t know what you don’t know.

I had this idea in my teens that we really needed a common sense brigade. Small groups of people jury style that would just go from place to place and say hey that’s stupid Don’t do that. Because I could see right from wrong I assumed that we just needed a bunch of people that could also see right from wrong to go around and lead the idiots to reasonable decisions. It was very easy for my 15-year-old mine to see black and white everywhere. It’s all good versus evil and smart versus stupid.

Many decades later, I know grasp that most of the world’s problems are because people tries to fit everything into black and white.

95% exaggeration if he is a real programmer.

If he just tried to walk into Java knowing nothing or maybe PHP, and refused to RTFA, he might experience about 30% to 40% of that I just trying to do everything wrong.

Microsoft Teams: Awww, come on, you just motioned all of me.

In support I say we should make a national registry of 6 ft deep holes with no logs and the ability just to remove one of the holes with a click. We don’t know how they get there, we don’t know how they go away…
