Literal millions of us (myself included) voted “correctly” for Harris. Blue no matter who. We did our part for your petty ass purity test and we’re still getting fucked.

Must be nice to live in a world where people only experience the results of who they voted for.

Shame that it seems like people don’t realize you’re using a real issue someone opened on github as a copypasta.

Same as it ever was

If your student loan is federally backed, they have “income based repayment plans” which can go as low as full deferment, $0 a month. Interest still builds, but it’s better than starving.

I had a sip of beer or wine here or there as a kid, but my first “real” drink was shitty vodka mixed with grape juice. Tasted like cough syrup. I was 18, very depressed, hanging out with friends, and up to make poor decisions.

Later that night I had one mouthful of “Natural Ice” and poured the rest down the sink at some house party we managed to wander into. Don’t know how something can taste like skunk and watered down piss at once, but they made it happen.

Shocked I drank much at all after that mess of a night. Now I know that I have a recessive genetic liver condition, so no more booze for me, outside of small sips of whatever new craft beer the wife has found.

Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).

Updates are usually automatic (at least in the modern days with Steam), and DLCs are optional.

DLCs are also usually a paid affair, unless they’re explicitly referred to as “free DLC”. Not sure if you worded it that way or not, came to this post after you edited the title.

Why didn’t he just do this? Was he stupid?

People with one rarely feel the need to assert such.

I’m familiar, and I said nothing about any of that other than that I understood the frustration.

That’s also not the situation of the person I replied to. They thought the correct way to sub for someone in a meeting was to share credentials and log in as the other person.

I was calling out that absymally bad idea, and providing a work around.

To your point, you also shouldn’t be mixing use cases of your devices. You don’t want to end up in some legal shit, or in a data exfiltration investigation.

My personal desktop (and personal laptop when I still used one besides my work one) was a local account, signed into my personal Microsoft account via the browser. That could also work directly signed into the personal account instead of using a local account.

All work stuff stays on work provided hardware, or on a VM. I even spin up a light VM to just open a VPN session so I can remote into work resources. If I had multiple gigs, I’d make separate VMs for them. Personal Microsoft account never fucking touches these.

For elevated access accounts for work: separate browser, separate browser profile, or private browsing mode. Most admin work in Entra is through web portals (or Powershell).

I still can end up with minor issues from stuff like needing to use my admin Entra/Azure account to log into the Microsoft Graph Powershell module, so I end up with two entries in the Entra logon page on the work devices sometimes, but I just select the correct account if I get prompted. If it doesn’t, logout of that specific system/program and select the correct account (which I’m logged into the work machine as). Loss of a few seconds, not this massive issue.

i literally just needed to log in to someone’s account once, for an hour, to substitute for them in one call.

I get your frustration, but that’s a fucking awful choice for a whole bunch of reasons, not only because of Microsoft’s bullshit. You really buried the lede.

Don’t share accounts people!

Have them forward you the meeting invite or reach out to the organizer to call you instead.

And if you fucking insist on logging into someone else’s account again, use Private Browsing mode and the web client of Teams to keep it from touching the rest of the machine. It works fine for audio and video calls.

At any place with a half decent security policy you’d be looking at disciplinary action. At certain workplaces this would be an immediate firing.

We are so far away from a paperclip maximizer scenario that I can’t take anyone concerned about that seriously.

We have nothing even approaching true reasoning, despite all the misuse going on that would indicate otherwise.

Alignment? Takeoff? None of our current technologies under the AI moniker come anywhere remotely close to any reason for concern, and most signs point to us rapidly approaching a wall with our current approaches.

Each new version from the top companies in the space right now has less and less advancement in capability compared to the last, with costs growing at a pace where “exponentially” doesn’t feel like an adequate descriptor.

There’s probably lateral improvements to be made, but outside of taping multiple tools together there’s not much evidence for any more large breakthroughs in capability.

I’m a huge fan of Shout Factory, and I’m at a place in my life where I can generally afford to pay for my media, so I do. I’ll have to look up Arrow.

Voting with your wallet works both ways, and while most of the payment will be eaten by corporate interests at least it signals “I want more of this sort of thing”.

My comment was mainly meant as a response to the statement regarding later seasons of Always Sunny simply not being available to purchase physically. In situations like that, I see no reasonable objection to raising the sails.

May I interest you in the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com wiki/megathread? Yo ho yo ho…

I support creators as I can, but when there’s literally no other option to own it in a way it can’t be just taken from you I don’t feel there’s any strong argument against it.

I can understand where they’re coming from, but the examples given seem particularly… minor?

Not sure if it’s my privilege showing, or the article author chose examples to make this seem goofy.

Sweet! I’m not the only one that’s done game mod as proposal tool!

Her favorite series is Legend of Zelda, and Link to the Past is up towards the top of both of our favorites of the series. I combined a bunch of QoL romhacks for it (CD quality music, bug fixes, day/night cycle, some pallette changes to be more accurate to promo art, quick item swap, etc). Even had to do some minor editing to patches so they didn’t overwrite each other wrong.

Overtop, I did a Link and Zelda swap, so the intro has Zelda rescuing Link. Then a comprehensive run through all the text in-game to swap Link and Zelda (and correct pronouns), and put my name over Link. So now the intro is her rescuing me from the dungeon.

Then the intro ending dialogue dump when you rescue “the princess” was edited to ask her on a date, to a place we tried to go on our first valentine’s day together but turned out to be entirely booked out for the day. Got a do over on that, fancy dinner, then on the way back to her apartment diverted us to the park where we met “to play pokemon go” (an addiction of hers at the time).

She was so into Pokemon that she almost tripped over me kneeling down with the ring.

I don’t like subscription based software, and a subscription based game launcher is even more ridiculous. Especially when there are already free open source alternatives.

With the subscription aspect in mind, this reads to me like an advertisement rather than news. Probably because you just pasted in their literal ad copy instead of giving us any of your own thoughts about it whatsoever.

A big part of why I’m on lemmy is to get away from the “natural engagement” ad posts, so in short this sort of post isn’t something I want to welcome or encourage.

Personally, this post would have come across a lot differently if it was just the link to their site/blog post and even a few sentences about your personal thoughts on it. This comes across as a poorly done ad.

You didn’t “just share news”. You just shared an ad with effectively no further context.
