Welcome to the path my friend. I was extremely Christian, but I was shocked that the church would do that. I mean how dare man edit the word of God at all?! I’m not sure what I believe, but I know the church was corrupted

Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they’ve themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage

Obviously you don’t understand humor like they do.

Pretty much any version we know now has taken very liberal translations to change the meanings. Most scholars agree that the translations were not accurate. Then on top of that entire books of the Bible were debated and thrown out, the gospel of Mary magdeline is the most famous. They picked and chose what message they wanted.

Ah you’re starting to see the cracks that finally gave me the distrust to leave the church. The church has thrown out entire books of the Bible because they didn’t agree with the messaging. How can I go to a church to where they literally threw out gospels just because they didn’t like it?

Good. I’ll happily see my favorite games delayed for this. AI isn’t a huge threat to the movie or TV industry actors, but it’s a massive threat to video game actors. It’s absolutely shameful when a handful of studios receive massive profits and they want to shortchange the people at the bottom.

This paired with the news yesterday of studios starting to unionize gives me hope. It’s about time, they’ve been taking advantage of their workers for so long, they deserve to see what that does long term. I hope they lose 10x from a strike and unionization vs just paying their employees fairly.

Everyone is all shocked but anyone who has worked in actual IT, development, or computers directly know that the whole system is brittle and ready to fall over at a moments notice. It’s popsicle sticks and glue all the way down. It’s more surprising this is the first major outage like this.

We can try to protect our systems from mistakes like this but at the end of the day, all it takes is one intern somewhere on a project who can fuck everything up. And I don’t mean crowdstrike, but we all know that there are more vendors who have even less QA, who cheaper out on labor and safety for profits. The entire thing is one config file away from collapsing

No EA app? Holy shit, I absolutely didn’t expect that. I fully expected it to be a steam release that opens up that stupid launcher every time.

Nah, I don’t buy that. When you’re in critical infrastructure like that it’s your job to anticipate things like people being above or below versions. This isn’t the latest version of flappy bird, this is kernel level code that needs to be space station level accurate, that they’re pushing remotely to massive amounts of critical infrastructure.

I won’t say this was one guy, and I definitely don’t think it was malicious. This is just standard corporate software engineering, where deadlines are pushed to the max and QA is seen as an expense, not an investment. They’re learning the harsh realities of cutting QA processes right now, and I say good. There is zero reason a bit of this magnitude should have gone out. I mean, it was an empty file of zeroes. How did they not have any pipelines to check that file, code in the kernel itself to validate the file, or anyone put eyes on the file before pushing it.

This is a massive company wide fuckup they had, and it’s going to end up with them reporting to Congress and many, many courts on what happened.

Tandoor is great for self hosting your recipes. It’s not a for repo of recipes though, but thought I should mentioned what I view as the best hosting for them. They’re stored in markdown internally

Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.

The only way they get my clicks now are when I Google something and they come up.

They really keep making sure that I don’t end up there.

It’s a microsoft product, so according to microsoft it absolutely is. It could be the most profitable product on the planet and they’d say it’s still underperforming.

Just the whole movie. Why?

who would have guessed that laying off an entire studio overnight would have repercussions, ey Microsoft?

Immediately went from papa microsoft who believes in the studio to “Make money or GTFO”

Nah, just drop the feeling stupid part. The night I met my wife I had just one drink too many so I had turned off my ability to think I was stupid - and I ended up talking about Lord of the Rings lore. Which she loved. If I had listened to that part of myself I would have held back and thought it was stupid, and my entire life would have gone differently.

oh my god reddit was the worst with this. “Oh my god he had a beer after work? He’s an alcoholic, you can do so much better, DUMP HIM. RED FLAG GET OUT”

So shitty they did that to you. “We overhired”. Like hell you did, how do you accidentally hire someone extra? You mean a spot closed. You didn’t just forget and hire two people for one job.

If it was part time there’s no laws about having two part time jobs, or a full time and a part time! 2 full times gets grey which is why I say it, but I don’t believe that’s illegal.

Hell you want to go all in and you know they aren’t scheduling you you can say something like “I know you just want me to go away, I’m not that stupid. You hired me, you aren’t getting rid of me until you acknowledge that.”

Lost the headcount probably, or didn’t have it. They’re hoping you go away quietly.

Don’t do that. Hound them. If you signed paperwork and had training I’m betting you’re employed, and that means they need to formally get rid of you, otherwise they can say you left.
