I assume this sick Nazi fuck just wanted to make a snuff video of an innocent mom, wife and US citizen.

It really does seem that way - the whole situation, especially being prepared recording and positioning himself at the front corner of the car so he could safely take a glancing bump from the car without actually risking his safety gives me flashbacks to bullies on the playground who would stand in front of you and move to block you just so that you’d run into them and they could call the teacher and say you pushed them. That but a grown ass adult and given a gun.

That officer isn’t looking very “run over” in that last frame 🧐

As a dev with roughly 10 years (or more depending on how you count) of experience, I would have done the same. Beyond maintaining self respect, I feel like we have a duty to each other to ensure companies that treat candidates like this have the hardest time possible finding someone willing to put up with it. I don’t even entertain companies that won’t let me use my choice of distro - especially considering I’m web UI focused.

If you tried BlueStacks and androidstudio and those don’t work, and you don’t have access to an old android device, then you could try something like BrowserStack - I’ve occasionally used them to test websites in specific combinations of OS and browser version on supposedly real devices. They have an option to test android apps, and you may be able to transfer your apk or paste in a share link to try it out there.

I think they give you 30 minutes free, but I haven’t tried the app testing (since I’m a web dev) so idk if it would be excluded from the sign up bonus. The price for a single freelancer is $19 month to month.

Are you using sonarr/radarr to do your renaming? I have mine set to patterns that put the release group at the end. It usually has no problem picking up release groups at the beginning (especially for anime, that seems to be pretty common), so by the time it’s auto imported, the filenames have been normalized to standard format with release group at the end.

Wow, sounds like they’re only sorry that they didn’t fire him the right way. And all over sharing an article without adding any comment.

I see! My metaphor was mainly meant to illustrate that whether anticheat is directly related to the current security issue is orthogonal to why I thought it was relevant to bring up. I could have picked a better one that didn’t imply that their misplaced concern about Linux cheaters actually consumes resources.

Maybe a better metaphor would be a municipality refusing to do something about a small issue (maybe poor transit to a specific neighborhood) and also actively refusing to let that neighborhood solve the problem themselves (proton devs) with the excuse that allowing that neighborhood to have transit would cost too much (even if the neighborhood were to do it themselves) and cause more crime (painting Linux users as hackers) all the while some completely unrelated group is actually causing the crime elsewhere.

I’m assuming this is a good faith question and that you’re not just just trying to play word games: they’re focused on scapegoating Linux by refusing to support it and blaming it for supposedly being a security nightmare. I’m pointing out that this is misplaced obviously because they have bigger concerns, as evidenced by the article.

For us it’s the other way around, she trots around the house with a toy mouse in her mouth screaming until she finds us

I think you’re misunderstanding why I’m bringing it up. It’s not because I think their server is protected by anticheat, but because they’re both forms of security. And my point is that their security posture is focused on the wrong area by scapegoating Linux instead of where they should be focusing, server security. If you don’t think their misplaced focus on Linux (which I agree is unrelated to server security) has anything to do with getting hacked then I don’t know what to tell you.

To give it an analogy, if your local government had unmaintained roads and you commented about how they spend tons of resources on police patting down everyone to prevent them from planting gardens, sure you could say it’s “not related to roads”, but that’s the whole point of bringing it up. It’s unrelated which is why it’s dumb to be focusing on it. Client sided anticheat is not equal to server security, but the misplaced security focus makes it relevant even if it’s not specifically on topic.

It’s like if a boat was sinking due to a huge hole and your captain was busy trying to stop people from tightening loose bolts on wobbly chairs. Yeah it’s not the same thing, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful to point out the misplaced focus.

Does that make sense?

(Edited to make the metaphors illustrate both 1. unrelated issues being relevant to a discussion within the scope of misplaced focus and 2. that the misplaced focus in this case isn’t even because they’re spending resources on the other issue, but rather trying to scapegoat and block people from fixing the unrelated issue)

Thank goodness they refused to support Proton/Linux then because, and this is a direct quote from their ticket tracker: “Linux is an open door for cheaters” 🙄

Ah another planeshift enjoyer!

I would replace it. Sometimes I push my luck and for minor or unexpected errors I just clear the error and re-add the drive, but this many errors is likely a solid sign.

My general experience is swiping through hundreds of people to get a few matches that seem promising only for none of them to respond to my intro messages (which I do take the time to write something unique and related to interests on their profile). The few that do respond typically stop responding after a day or two, I usually give it a couple weeks and then unmatch. Rinse and repeat for about a year and I might eventually end up managing to go out for coffee once a year, and it’s really a coin toss whether a second date happens.

It’s pretty discouraging but I did meet my current partner on tinder. It just takes a lot of time and patience, and not letting the experience make you disillusioned or jaded.

Yes I clearly agree, but convincing upper management of that isn’t always as straightforward as suggesting another cardboard box supplier as the other commenter suggested.

The problem is uline is a 1 stop shop for many businesses to buy a whole range of supplies, not just boxes. At my last job basically everything in the office came from uline, including the desks, trash cans, hand soap, mops, the disposable cups in the kitchen, and many of the warning signs plastered around the machine shop. The problem was known then but we weren’t successful in convincing them to replace uline with 5-10 other separate companies.

Lmao that and the stack of WD reds that appear to be joined together forming a single storage cube

Keep in mind that elementary is doesn’t provide an in place upgrade path between major versions, I didn’t realize this when I set it up for my parents so they’ve been stuck on one major version since I can’t backup, fresh install, and restore remotely.

but I can accept that you meant it differently than typed.

I did not mean it differently than typed. I said “to me it’s not a loss” and I mean that. To me it’s not a loss, to them it is.

ml is a self choosen label though, so people can choose not to use it.

And people can choose to treat people the same based on that label, and I can choose to think it’s immature. And at the same time I can not care if people choose to cut themselves off from ml.

You literally say it again here where you advocate for not treating everyone the same

No, I advocate for not dismissing people solely based on their chosen instance without taking into account their actual views. I do not advocate against blocking ml entirely, because I don’t view being cut off from people who make those types of assumptions as a loss for me.

You’ve spent multiple comments expressing that lack of care… which doesn’t make it seem like you don’t care, but instead makes it seem like this bugs you because you feel its unfair, and you’ve said as much here.

Only because you and other people have spent multiple comments not understanding me so I’m only repeating myself. I’m only commenting because this is the third shit stirring post by the same user, and I only chimed in to another ml user that I’m not bothered if people decide to block ml because it’s a win to me to avoid immature people and in my view a loss to others because I spend most of my time on lemmy giving tech support to others.

But you are engaging with them… I am very confused

No, I engaged with someone else on ml, and then you couldn’t resist engaging with me. I don’t see what’s confusing about this. I don’t think I’m missing anything by not being able to engage with this post. Yet it’s here, so I’m engaging with it. That doesn’t mean I value this engagement or would miss it at all. Let me again repeat that my preference is to ignore these types of posts, which is why I refrained from commenting on the other similar posts OP has made in the past. It’s kind of silly to assume that engagement means you necessarily value the content.

Do you similarly think engaging with a racist by arguing with them means you must also value their content or presence? Of course not. Chiming in to say that I would not miss them, but also disagree with their views, is not contradictory.

Anyhow, I think I’ll go back to ignoring these types of posts. I think this kind of blanket assumption about people based on their instance is a net negative to the community. That said, I don’t think it’s at all inconsistent to both view OPs attitude as immature while simultaneously not caring if they decide to block ml, precisely because being blocked by immature people is not a net negative to me.

Merry Christmas!
