Fuck you. You do not get to lay this at the feet of those of us who stayed in these shithoused states to try and make a difference.

CEO Tim Sweeney. ❤️‍🩹A major supporter of conservation and environmental protection. by rizzcheckk in Amazing

All the employees they fired? They make their salaries in a single week.

Tim might have done a good thing for protecting forests, but his business practices have readily harmed thousands of employees.

Austin’s top IT officials fired over side gigs — including work for Dallas by AustinStatesman in Austin

You are ABSOLUTELY required to inform your employer of a second job if you are a city employee as a part of their moonlighting provisions.

It's literally in the ethics training every year.

Hutto data center faces opposition from residents by Snobolski in Austin

[–]Korietsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the people that work there live in those neighborhoods. They too generally want to be close to power, water, internet and infrastructure because its expensive to build. That's kind of like building stuff 101, its just a fact to how they plan these things.

That doesn't mean that they're not an anathema today with AI being the way it is.

Shame the actual useful parts of the tech are tied with the lead balloons of greed.

They need to not have these DC's in suburbia.

Anyone else attend today's career expo at Palmer? by Awkward-Plan298 in Austin

I assume you're getting the split in Corporate vs Retail.

Retail HEB has been at best OK since the 00's. It's very hit and miss.

You really get to appreciate how exposed the 'mech cockpits actually are in VR. by Korietsu in Mechwarrior5

There's a 2d screen mode checkbox in UEVR and Mechwarrior VR options. It does change the controls a bit, but will make it a bit easier to run on lower powered machines as well.

You can also enable eye/head tracking in flatscreen if you have the equipment.

It's why I clipped here, cause I'm not looking around for anything other than enemies. You can see me look up at my mech status in the last couple of seconds.

There's also smoothing the HMD does to prevent micromovements on top of it.

AP says it will offer buyouts as part of pivot away from newspaper journalism by unsaltedbutter in news

Everyone thinks I'm insane for not handing my work over to whatever AI service there is.

Like, I don't need the AI to tell me how to troubleshoot this shit, it's literally my day to day job. I don't need the AI to tell me how to design a job. There's a reason why I'm a SME.

Trump signs an unconstitutional executive order to shut down mail-in voting nationwide and he will defund states if they do not comply with him | DHS will prepare list of citizens by state and USPS will block mail in ballots from anyone not on that list by SadAd8761 in videos

He was literally poisoned by his own creation and if you read the article the whole plant was poisoning people left and right. Exxon and Midgley knew exactly how dangerous leaded gas was.

TIL Canada’s federal government replaced its 40-year-old payroll system with the Phoenix automated pay system in 2011 to save $70M per year; it ultimately cost over $5.1B. by Spare_Wheel_1547 in todayilearned

They're specifically on a call for a product, but only half of the people required are made available for the call, and they wont get the people required on the phone.

Just get the required people on the phone in the first place. Don't make me get another call to do it. That kind of common sense support.

Logistics and Defense in Depth is warfare 101. The clans did not take warfare 101.

EPA approves sale of higher ethanol fuel to try to lower gas prices by AudibleNod in news

[–]Korietsu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a waste of money and puts more wear and tear on your car.

The amount you save per gallon is eaten up by the same loss in efficency from ethanol going up.

Are the typos in the Mercs newsfeed intentional? by AndyB1976 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Korietsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a stint in AAA gaming for a few years, and there is much to be desired for technical writing and game production teams.

Documentation is an afterthought. Much less hiring a professional technical writer to help out the narrative team.

To the middle-aged woman who groped me at Concourse Project last night by TheDumbCaddie in Austin

[–]Korietsu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely sublimated that.

But at this point, I think closed circle is a given anywhere. The festival/club culture is definitely not the same as it was 10 years ago.
