Is retiredgif a thing on Lemmy? Because this would definitely qualify.

The worst PMs are people-pleasers who don’t set realistic expectations and promise things to clients that can’t be delivered reasonable.

But those are also often the people who get promoted because those making the decisions like a “Yes” man who tries to make people happy with great “customer service.”

Look into Xreal glasses.

I wonder if this font would screw up ocr?

I’ve recently really gotten into 3d printing, and I’ve bought the bullet and purchased a pretty nice 3D scanner (Crealty Raptor Pro).

There’s no such thing as too much enough RAM for these scans.

There is a super famous, incredibly mediocre destination BBQ restaurant in Central Texas that is famous for an all-you-can-eat family-style meal. For decades, they only accepted cash. Way, way longer than made sense. Like into the 2020s I think.

Their main menu item was all-you-can eat (hard to quantify number of sales), only members of the family that ran the place were allowed to count the take and the receipts at the end of each shift, and they only took cash.

I fully believe they were either laundering money or evading taxes by under-reporting. But then they opened a few satellite branches, including one at the airport, and started having to be more careful as they expanded.

3 things:

First off, you literally started an argument explaining that something can’t happen, then ended it by saying that something that can’t happen can happen, and that hurts my brain a bit.

Secondly, one reason reason a judge can deputize people is for cases where the executive branch or law enforcement has gone rogue and they need to enforce the law outside of the regular channels.

Third, the whole “Can’t arrest or charge a sitting President for any crime” thing isn’t a law, but a justice department policy. Deputized law enforcement and prosecutors from outside of the justice department wouldn’t be bound by that policy.

I was slightly wrong about the order. I was actually talking about Black Mesa, which was in the same initial batch of 10 games.

Steam Greenlight was a program where independent games without a publisher could release games on Steam, but it was absolutely exclusive. They couldn’t sell their game elsewhere.

Literally the first game released on the program was a free Total Conversion mod that you could download anywhere else for free, but if you wanted to get it installed through Steam, you paid them for the privilege.

That’s exactly what Steam Greenlight was before they stopped all curation of games.

I think a middle ground may be having that requirement for background mic usage, or usage without a specific user prompt that turns on a mic.

Lots of apps have legitimate use for the mic. Apps having legitimate use for the mic while you’re not actively using the app on screen are more limited and need stricter permissions.

I’d also like to have a hardware mic mute switch that physically disconnects the mic, so I can just keep it off unless I want it like I do with the mic and Webcam on my computer.

Epic charges 12%, but they’re somehow the villain.

Trump is voiding student visas and illegally arresting and detaining students that speak out against genocide. The video linked is security camera footage of masked gestapo goons disappearing a student off the street.

Kash Patel also took down the statement claiming she misdirected them.

She asked the ICE agents to wait for the end of the hearing to arrest him.

So they arrested her.

If you click on the comic on the site, it goes to the YouTube video of her being grabbed.

Japan and China hate each other. Japan still got along better with the US after we nuked them twice than they ever did with China.

But this orange motherfucker is managing to unite them against us.

I’m honestly impressed how bad he is at this shit.

That’s part of the problem. If they charged the same to developers as Epic, I wouldn’t be so critical.

For games primarily sold through Steam, Steam is often the most expensive part of the game. Is it okay that Steam’s take is higher than that of all the actual developers combined?

Have you ever played a game that was actually worth playing and thought that the fucking storefront and game launcher were worth 30% of the game?

Have you played a bunch of half-baked PC ports that could’ve used a bit more money on finishing the game?

Developers decide to launch as-is partpy because they know Steam will be taking a massive cut and there will be no ROI for fixing the game.

My Samsung phone comes with an alternative android app store pre-installed.

Hating on Apple for their 30% cut is popular.

Hating on Google for their 30% cut is popular.

Hating on Microfot, Sony, and Nintendo for their cuts is popular.

But somehow hating on Steam for their 30% cut is going too far.
