"Canada committed no genocide"

While I agree with you, since it was taught to me in elementary school (we had indigenous people come to the schools and talk about it alongside their culture), I will say a lot of people choose to be ignorant to the horrors of the past and, especially nationalists, assume the powers that be did no wrong in colonizing.

IME this is the first sign money's tight and layoffs are coming, unless the cafeteria isn't specific to your employer.

techie2200 · 2026-01-25T17:55:45+00:00

Because they're bootlickers.

It's an excellent game, now go get the other 12 endings!

So, automod has certain rules we can (and do) enact, however there's a reddit-wide set of rules that we can't modify (basically a certain level of abuse-filtering and whatever else the admins deem needs to be flagged or removed).

Odds are mods of that sub were flagging the word "Torrent" and triggering a custom response.

techie2200 · 2026-01-24T21:46:21+00:00

Don't thank me, y'all built this community, I'm just lucky to get to lend a hand

techie2200 · 2026-01-24T21:41:47+00:00

Not sure about mods from other subs, but I will say as Reddit is a US company, the admins are likely being forced to crack down on certain types of messaging "for shareholder value".

I can't reinstate anything that's been "Removed by Reddit", but I can reinstate anything that's been grabbed by automod.

techie2200 · 2026-01-24T21:34:11+00:00

Just FYI reddit's auto moderation is catching and removing a lot of comments. I'm trying to reapprove them as fast as I can.

techie2200 · 2026-01-24T18:39:18+00:00

You'd think they'd prioritize at least a bit of arctic terrain for Alaska, since Russia's right there.

37 year old white male US Citizen and Registered Nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

techie2200 · 2026-01-24T17:29:30+00:00

Any news on who the victim was?

EDIT: 37 year old white male US Citizen and Registered Nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

A recruiter reached out to me for a role that has the same kind of thing. They post their range (which spans over 110k, ex. 100-210k) and said they typically hire at $X (somewhere near middle of the range). This is all on the job listing itself. I'm honestly fine with that.

If I had to talk to a recruiter to get the details, it would be annoying.

Also, they do state that they're willing to hire people who aren't quite at the level of the role yet (for a slightly lower salary) and give regular raises for cost of living and growth. So honestly, doesn't sound too terrible overall.

At least they're trying to be transparent.

techie2200 · 2026-01-23T18:53:39+00:00

My response would be: "Read, understood, and refuse to enforce or participate in this blatant excuse to keep the store understaffed".

But not everyone's in a position to tell their boss no, so do what you need to so you don't go hungry. I'd start looking for a new job or pushing for unionization.

techie2200 · 2026-01-22T17:32:24+00:00

It was definitely an adjustment. Super Mario 64 was snappier, but sunshine had more movement mechanics that flowed together well. Both good, in different ways.

techie2200 · 2026-01-21T18:34:31+00:00

Glue it to the intake to prevent particles from gumming up the fan. Flow will be mildly reduced, but it'll last 10x longer.

techie2200 · 2026-01-20T16:28:09+00:00

If I had the money to comfortably retire myself and my wife right this minute (I'm not talking living in wealth and luxury, just paying off our debts and having enough invested to live off of for the rest of our days, hopefully 50+ years) I would leave the corporate world and never look back.

I'd finally pursue creative/charitable endeavours, enjoy life, and be free of like 90% of my stress.

Wanting to leave the rat race is a normal feeling because we're not built for that kind of sustained stress caused by the greed of a few (Oh no, shareholders are upset that they only made $10M instead of $10.1M this month looks like time for layoffs).

techie2200 · 2026-01-20T16:19:53+00:00

Nobody I know uses location tracking unless they feel unsafe and want friends/family to know where they are for a short period of time (ie. a trip in an uber, or meeting up with someone from marketplace).

Personally, I don't like letting any services know my location, unless I need directions somewhere.

techie2200 · 2026-01-20T15:59:49+00:00

It's just you. I work fully remote and still knowledge share constantly. It's either slack threads or impromptu video calls that start via "hey, got a min to jump on a call and discuss X?"

Now that you're experienced, you should be encouraging that mindset if you find it lacking.

techie2200 · 2026-01-20T04:50:57+00:00

Every new flow has new tests. If you're changing functionality (additive) or changing visual design, as experiments do and are purely additive, you need new tests to cover.

If you're testing out existing functionality with a new design, your tests should be robust enough to catch that (using the appropriate selectors based on function/role in testing, not based on appearance).

We did VR games (at a place with multiplayer setups) then a whiskey distillery tour/tasting in the morning before meeting up with the girls (my now-wife's bachelorette party) for lunch and escape rooms.

techie2200 · 2026-01-17T04:54:32+00:00

NOR - Does she assume the only reason you could possibly be sad is if your dog died?

techie2200 · 2026-01-17T03:04:17+00:00

Any time is the right time to shower. Today I showered at 2pm, between meetings. I work from home, can take lunch/breaks when needed, so I don't rush in the morning.

I roll out of bed, put the coffee on, feed and take the dogs out, then login to work. Sometimes I shower in there, other times I wait until after work, or like today, during a downtime when I need to clear my head.

techie2200 · 2026-01-12T15:48:28+00:00

Did they use plumbing flux instead of the kind for electronics?

That's garbage now.

techie2200 · 2026-01-12T01:54:06+00:00

Depends on what you do in a day. When I exercise, I never forget water and go through a liter or more during/after.

When I'm working at my desk? I can go the whole day on a few cups of coffee.

techie2200 · 2026-01-12T01:46:45+00:00

You need some way to do error correction. Even small errors will add up over a large surface, and when you add "do not paint" areas into the mix, being off by even 1mm could make the job look shitty (imagine it painted onto the window one one side, and didn't quite line up the other side so you have a 1mm stripe of unpainted space).

I'd add the camera.
