Not sure if this counts as “obscure”, but one of my favorite songs is Itte by Yorushika. Not only is it a bop, but the lyrics are surprisingly melancholic and dark for such an upbeat song.
As for a band I think is criminally underrated, perhaps check out Evening Light by Vansire.
I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.
Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.
Can’t say we as a species have a great history of granting rights to others.
That used to be the case, back when Steam Sales were a chaotic feeding frenzy of discounts. These days it’s pretty much the same throughout.
In case anyone is curious - as I was - here’s the commercial: https://youtu.be/uTVlnehpRHQ
(Not the Toys R Us channel, in case you don’t want to give them direct views.)
Hahaha I wish. There isn’t any real “management” to speak of where I’m at, and it’s a flat structure, meaning literally anyone can send me work and I’m just expected to do it. Right now I’m working the weekend to finish a task that someone else couldn’t do and it fell to me. There’s a ticketing system, but it’s only really half-used (of course, I myself turn these tasks into tickets, but that’s about it).
Trying to slowly change all this over time, because I love my job outside of this lack of management, but I also don’t hold any delusions about that.
I’m lucky to not have many meetings in my current dev job, but I get the same effect from having a dozen people a day asking for “quick” fixes for various bugs that are conveniently always more urgent than whatever big task I’m in the middle of.
Love how they make this sound like some incredible feat. When you aren’t bound to license agreements, turns out it’s actually very easy to have a “massive” content library. Literally the only hurdle is storage space.
Because all the legal services are incredibly anti-consumer and are offering less services, with (more) ads, for more money every year.
It’s like they took an ergonomics textbook and read it upside-down.
Haha literally what planet do they live on?
That was quite a segue into complaining about inflation.
1: Does IBM even have an LLM that would be considered “good” these days? Maybe they do, but I haven’t heard about it.
2: If this was in 2019, no wonder it flopped. Only very recently have we gotten to a point where this should’ve even been considered (and then, in my opinion given the current state of LLMs, dismissed).
3: More than 100 stores were testing this?? Did they not think to start with like, one store and see if that worked at all?
4: While a short-lived victory, this is still a win for people that rely on these jobs. Good for them.
I mean, there isn’t really one singular instance for Canada lol.
Oh absolutely, I just meant to say that technically I am on a “local instance”.
Yeah, that’s the stuff that makes this difficult. I can talk all day about what “makes sense”, but you throw one corporate executive into the mix and everything falls apart.
sh.itjust.works is Canadian last I checked, though it isn’t readily apparent.
Not sure if I’m able to change my username (and too lazy to check right now), but that’s honestly not a bad plan.
On the other hand, with more money going to the US alternatives, there’s more potential for a US company to step into that niche once it’s open.
Not that it’ll necessarily happen obviously, but it does make it a bit easier at least.
Also, I feel like I should add the disclaimer of “I’m not American.” I wish I could show my country next to my username or something lol.
It baffles me that they sell Chrome as private and/or secure, and baffles me even more that people believe them.
