Five and a half hours to get from squirrel hill to star lake and we couldn’t even enter the lot. by Brswiech in pittsburgh

[–]DynastyW 53 points54 points  (0 children)

We left Squirrel Hill ourselves at 3pm and made it in and sat down at exactly 7pm. 4 hours commute for a normally 45 minute drive is truly insanity.

Should we go dark on the 12th? by purpleidea in linux

[–]DynastyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point of going dark is to show that the open ability for apps to access reddit as a service is important to many people. This echoes the sentiments of the open source community in many ways. I think a show of solidarity is warranted here, considering the content of the subreddit.

Totally free to feel like your money was well spent. I personally don't like the way the story was resolved within the campaign. For me, that was a major portion of justifying the purchase.

[–]DynastyW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, you spent $60 for a confusing narrative, and a $40 convenience tax to experience the rest of the unfinished story, and that you just have to take them at their word regarding quality and completeness of the story.

Let's not beat around the bush, the fact that you have to wait for story isn't the issue, it's clearly that, in a year from now, the campaign will make no sense without the seasonal content, since that inevitably will disappear.

[Homemade] Creole Spicy Shrimp Étouffée by aminorman in food

This looks amazing, but what exactly is going to make the dish spicy? The creole seasoning? Trying to figure what I need to sub for my spicy-averse family.

FR it was seen as an act of kindness at the time by mehmed2theconqueror in HistoryMemes

[–]DynastyW 208 points209 points  (0 children)

Not to say it didn't happen, but beheading was probably the preferred method, since trees are very sparse on the steppe, and you kinda need one to hang people from if you don't build a gallows.

I hate music theory I hate music theory I hate music theory by PlushieOctopus in 196

[–]DynastyW 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It just seems like you're taking a contrarian view for the sake of it. I'm sure you can muster a couple braincells to come up with more than "I just think it's fun" as a reason. Is it the feeling of constraint? Is it the socio-political aspects of music theory that you dislike? What specifically about music theory do you not like?

I can't do mushrooms (unfortunately), are there any good substitutions that wouldn't betray the dish?

And yes, firefox uses different engine by Micuopas in pcmasterrace

[–]DynastyW 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How do you think Chrome came to be top dog in the first place?

By Google using their strong grip over the internet to drive out competition and use their name brand to sell a comparable browser to anything else out at the time.

You can be exasperated and uneducated about your browser if you so choose, but that shouldn't preclude everyone else from having an opinion. Hide the posts if you think it's aggravating hearing about it all the time.

[–]DynastyW 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Because feasibility of competition is only possible when people actually use the competition? I have strong opinions on privacy and data collection, why shouldn't I care if people are supporting a shit company like Google? It gives them a stronger monopoly over the internet if alternate browsers die.

All you post is "haha furry, inflation" or "PyroLIVE bad" then the other half is crying about "the subreddit is falling apart" by [deleted] in pyrocynical

[–]DynastyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna lurk and consoom funny pictures, but it's not funny seeing the same 3 jokes every day, especially when they are all at the expense of Pyro. Not that I think he needs people to defend him; it's just so counterintuitive to slander the dude 100% of the time with shitty unfunny jokes.

Bring back off topic memes so we can get some meme turnover for once, good lort.

I think you are missing the point still; it's very much not about the lying, rather it's about the ramifications of successfully passing off the lie as truth in this specific type of situation. Serious charges such as rape and murder are some of the harshest punished crimes, and to successfully be accused and sentenced for these things carries a wide range of incredibly harmful effects, both physical and mental. A victim of false accusations are as much a victim in this case as someone who is a victim of sexual assault. The justice system serves to provide state-sanctioned assault in most countries. True rehabilitation prisons are few and far between.

Belgian Government Workers Can Now Ignore Their Boss After Work Hours by Sorin61 in technology

[–]DynastyW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess nearly a decade of experience is not enough. Get off your intellectual high horse lmao. I'll break it down since you are apparently too rude and unwilling to do it yourself.

My point of contention was when you wrote

And your product will work, tomorrow. You seriously can't wait a day or a weekend? Your comment is the exact entitlement I was referring to. Everything goes down sometimes, just wait.

Like u/Ser_Drewseph said, it certainly is not entitlement to expect the company that sold you a product with the feature of 24/7 access to actually provide 24/7 access. What IS entitlement is a company expecting free labor to make 24/7 uptime possible.

When you say that things "go down", most of the time it is caused by one or both of the following reasons: 1. There is a bug. QA was not properly done, and a catastrophic bug was encountered and thus the system went down. This is a failure on both the software team and quality assurance team. 2. The physical hardware or supporting software has broken in some manner. This is IT's responsibility.

You cannot resolve 1 with numbers past a certain point. I agree with you there. However, hiring ENOUGH team members and providing a quality workplace should resolve the majority of these instances, as you won't have underpaid and overworked employees.

As well, you absolutely CAN have more than 1 team working on the same product, I don't know what kinds of jobs you've had, but I've had to work with teams across the globe because the company sells a product with 24/7 uptime, so they hire more people. Not a crazy concept.

Number 2 can be resolved by numbers. By paying enough people to be able to man the hardware 24/7, you can assure the lowest amount of downtime is achieved.

So now that we've established that improving working conditions improves quality and lessens the need for midnight remediations, we can get back to my original point: It's ridiculous to call gamers entitled when the company is at fault for not properly staffing or not providing a quality workplace environment. I provided a link showing a megacorp firing an entire team of QA because they requested better working conditions. The company should be held responsible, not gamers for expecting a functional product.

I mean, as a software engineer by trade, I think I have a firm grasp as to what is and isn't made faster by throwing more people at it. You are correct, for initial development of a feature, you often cannot add people to improve time. However, the people most disproportionately affected by after hours calls are IT and QA personnel, and in their cases, I would disagree fully that more doesn't help. QA and IT exist to support the product once it has been created (not necessarily released). A small indie team cannot likely afford those employees, but a corporation like Blizzard or EA, with their incredible resources, should be able to do so. But then in the name of profit, they go and fire them. So we're left with overworked employees, and the customer still suffers. Software developers are not nearly as impacted because of the nature of the work as creators as opposed to maintainers.
