#1, usually.

Probably a rule that’s intended to prevent self-promotion, eitger over-zealously written or over-zealously enforced.

That’s the precise reason that you eat a hotndog the same way.

As in, they’re going to end operations in the US? Great news! Wish it could’ve happened sooner.

…

I’m aware this likely means nothing of the sort.

I fail to see where in this article they present “The Real Reason Kim Davis Never Stood a Chance”. Unless they mean the whole bit about “Obergefell is entrenched as precedent, and widely supported by Americans”, in which case, that’s horseshit. This SCOTUS has shat on much older and much-more-popular precedents than this, with no hesitation, and no valid reasoning.

Don’t be fooled that they’re the ones responsible, and just went against the Democrat leadership. There’s a REASON that all of them are retiring, and can’t be voted out. Schumer and his cohort WANTED this, knew people would be pissed, and arranged the votes to minimize the fallout.

Elden Ring will always be pretty special to me, but as far as being FUN, it’s not in the same league as Nightreign.

It took me like 3 tries to get into it, and even then, I respect it more than I enjoy actually playing it, these days. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing.

GTA. All of them, but especially 5.

Are you me and your friend is also me?

This sounds a HELL of a lot like my scenario. I swapped to Bazzite from Mint on account of NVidia/gaming issues, and IMMEDIATELY noticed a big improvement, but I’ve had a handful of issues dealing with the flatpak of JetBrains Rider, and Firefox for that matter.

One thing I figured out early was to configure permissions to allow Rider to access the filesystem outside of its sandbox. That seems to be not something that flatpaks are setup for, by default.

More recently, I found that flatpak sandboxes don’t inherit PATH or other global system variables. Which makes sense, but I haven’t figured out the solution yet.

I would definitely take a shot at another KDE distro, cause I also have liked KDE/Plasma (that’s what Bazzite runs, right?) more than I did Cinnamon, but I don’t know anything about what Bazzite does to get great NVidia performance for gaming, or how I might replicate it on a non-immutable distro.

I mean, it’s only one banger game. You sure you’re not thinking of the other guy?

It sucks that I ended up losing most of a series of gaming progress image posts I was doing, in a particular community. I got all the images re-uploaded to my new home, and edited all the original posts, but quite a lot of those edits never got federated properly, so now the posts just have dead image links.

Been pretty great, otherwise.

I believe it’s the concept of a city where every destination you might visit regularly is no more than 15 minutes away, either by foot or public transit. No car infrastructure needed.

When I was in college, I took a 100-level CS course that required me to ssh into a server and run a command to submit my homework. It’s not crazy.

Automatically, no. Not unless they’re listed as an emergency contact, and the patient is incapacitated.

Actual healthcare workers are free to point out where the additional nuance lies, cause there probably is some.

I work with a 7-person (6 devs and a lead) on a 20-year-old financial reporting application. We either pull or receive data from about 7 different systems where folks record contracts, funding documents, purchase requests, purchase orders, invoices, bills, etc. and pull them all together to build reports and UIs where users can search across all the data, and have it unified in one place. That’s about 90% of our workload, anyway. More recently, we’ve adopted workload from a couple big legacy systems that got sunsetted, where we’re actually the data-entry point, feeding data out to the main billing system.

Day to day, I work on everything from PL/SQL (Oracle’s SQL variant for compiled stored procedures) where the majority of our business logic lives, to VB.NET where two different HTTP Web servers live, as well as a large automated testing suite for that database business layer, to TypeScript where most of our UI logic lives. Occasionally, I might dip into plain JavaScript/jQuery or ASPX to work on older features.

There’s plenty of time spent writing code, but there’s also a LOT of time spent just discussing things among team. Probably about half of the time, overall. Part of why the project has lasted 20 years is that we’ve gotten very good at being able to interpret what non-technical finance and acquisitions folks want. Like, they might come to us and say “hey, can you add inter-departmental purchase requests to report X”, but they can’t always tell us what an “inter-departmental purchase request” is, or where that data lives in the external systems (and that’s not like a criticism, that’s just the reality of the fact that these people are accountants, not engineers). So, we’ll have to probe for specific requirements and/or reverse-engineer it out of an external database.

I also do open-source work in some of my hobby time, which is pretty much all C#.

Depends what you count.

By the strict definition, very rarely. Like once ecery month or two.

But I chat online with my best friend, pretty regularly. I play games online with my cousin, who lives in another state, about once a week.

If you wanna go even broader, there’s a handful of Twitch streamers I watch pretty regularly. I’ll be the first to admin that’s a far cry from a friendship, but they’re relatively-small streamers, so they actually read and talk with folks in chat, and most of us in chat talk to each other and know each other by name. So, there’s plenty of socialization (albeit low quality compared to real life) going around.

Parasocial relationships are weird.

Commander Shepard.

Dare I ask which one is actually from the game?

At the risk of being topical, K-Pop Demon Hunters comes to mind. Like, not really a stupid PLOT but a pretty stupid/ridiculous premise. They make it WORK, though. That movie is SO much better than the title gives it any right to be.
