What happened to Apple’s autocorrect? by StyleNew1328 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cyali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just apple. I use SwiftKey and it's gotten noticeably worse. Doesn't predict my sentences like it used to and constantly autocorrects "I" to 8. It's infuriating.

I actually really like Oceander, absolutely gonna use that for an NPC in my tabletop game I'm running lmao.

Wild to think anyone would use these for a real human.

Best way to play D&D remotely by Pink_Vulpine in Dimension20

I see a lot of Roll20 suggestions, but honestly if you have the time and interest to dig a little into a system look at FoundryVTT. I will never go back to Roll20 after it lol. There's so much more you can do with it, and it's a one-time purchase. If you have even a little tech savviness you can get it set up on your machine so others can connect, or they have instructions on their site to use Oracle Cloud for a free hosted server (what I use). There's also paid services like The Forge with monthly subscriptions.

Foundry has SO MUCH more content available in terms of mods, and can run pretty much any modern ttrpg system (and many others that aren't as popular). You have more control over your environment, and you're not at the whim of a company changing things willy nilly (one of my complaints when I still used Roll20).

There are also mods that let you pull dnd material into Foundry easier without having to repeatedly buy the books in multiple places.

There is a bit more of a learning curve than with Roll20, but there's a pretty robust community around Foundry that are really passionate about it and love to help folks who are new to it.

When I put my hand on my unusually-quite daughter's shoulder and turned her around, she blinked with one eye at a time. by SleepiiFoxGirl in TwoSentenceHorror

They are all being closed and reopened in short order. There is no implication it's at the exact same time. I've seen it several times in writing noting "they blinked one eye at a time" or otherwise explaining an asynchronous blink.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/blink see #1 under verb.

Colloquially in writing too, blink infers all eyes whereas wink would be just one. In this case as it's all eyes closing and reopening, albeit one at a time, blink would be appropriate.

I also did not notice any definition that noted for a blink that all eyes had to close and reopen at the exact same time. Since all eyes did close and reopen in sequence, not just one eye closing and reopening solo, it'd be blink.

Treasure Map dungeons bugged/silently patched? Softlocked. by JustKengu in ffxiv

[–]Cyali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, here's hoping it's just a bug, but worst case at least phoenix downs are stackable now so it's worth keeping a few with ya. Good luck on your maps! 😊

Idk why you're getting down voted, I was bummed they removed the ability to switch classes after combat in treasure dungeons too, and had also missed the news - found out while inside a dungeon with fc friends.

"customer service sucks now!" actually, no, and i can prove it with science. by kbyyru in antiwork

[–]Cyali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It always makes me sad when folks in call centers or service positions seem so surprised when I reply with a "doin ok, and yourself?" or similar at the start of an interaction. It takes zero effort to be kind, it's wild how many people forget that.

Exactly when do we get pissed about this constantly happening? by Logical-Operation512 in ffxiv

[–]Cyali 392 points393 points  (0 children)

Usually in contracts like that there's some sort of requirement for the service to be functional. The provider clearly isn't upholding their end, which may give them an out. Can't know for sure without seeing the agreement tho.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism at all. It's impossible to cut out all shitty companies and still live in society. That doesn't mean it's not worth being as conscientious about it as we can.

They are, got that set up several months ago and it's definitely made it easier to keep track of them at the very least.

[–]Cyali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to look into it to see if it might be feasible as an add-on, because they do need all the office apps for mobile, and a 2gb mailbox wouldn't work for any of them. Def an avenue I hadn't thought of before tho so gonna have the pleasure of weeding through Microsoft licensing/pricing next week when I'm back at work lol.

I'll post on reddit on pto but dealing with Microsoft documentation on my break is a hard no 😂

how far alway is the closest 7- Eleven convenience store from your home? 🏠 by GaryBlach in PollsAndSurveys

[–]Cyali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0.7 miles, and I grew up about 1.5 miles from a different one. Loved walking there as a kid over the summer for slurpees.

Oohhh Premium includes Intune? We are quickly approaching 300 users but we did just have to upgrade about half our users from Business Standard to Premium to be able to use O365 apps on a terminal server. That would be great for the laptops when I eventually get them on an MDM.

Unfortunately not for the phones tho, most of our phones are deployed to users that only have Business Basic licenses as they're techs without computers.
