I mean, why not? I know a few lawyers and they’re as stupid as everyone, I haven’t noticed any significant difference to any other group of people.

You are “being yourself” as long as what you do is what you want to do.

If you want to start flirting because you think you’d feel better, then it’s you being yourself.

If you do it because you think peers/society/whoever wants you to be like that, you’re not being yourself.

Maybe?

You don’t want a €55 piece of plastic?

Obvious misinformation doesn’t sound the same as a nonsense.

I did, thanks!

Didn’t seem that bad to me (though I’ve definitely read books with better flow), I had that exact same thing with Game of Thrones.

Can’t wait! I’m really glad I discovered it through the show, now on book 10 and on one hand I can’t wait till I finish and at the same time I’m dreading it.

I’ve opened infinity on my phone if Firefox is to be trusted.

Pirated CS6 runs amazing using Wine. Or so I’m told.

The costs of complying with GDPR, for example, are estimated to have reduced profits for small European tech firms by up to 12 per cent.

Hmm, much lower for the company I work for. Guess what? Treating user data with respect really lowers the barrier. Who would have thunk.

Or in other words, if you need GDPR to tell you not to mine every single piece of information about a user without asking, you deserve a 12% profit cut.

Does additional 32 GB of RAM actually help there? I’d assume this is mostly CPU-intensive work.

Given the person said they’re 28, I’m actually older. And I decided to not be a dick about it and to not pretend that everything was better when I was young. Everything was different, sure. Some things were better, some were not. But I decided to not do the whole “back in my days” thing because I always found it stupid and luckily that didn’t change with age.

Except for like one face they all look like textbook bad guys.

Eh, if you’re into computers, you’ll find your way. My first “programming” adventures were writing batch/vb scripts and putting them in the startup folder and watching the teacher lose their shit when when their computer turned off after five seconds. Or watching all of the classroom open and close the CD drives 50 times when we were the first to have an IT class that day.

Glad you can read and repeat stuff! I presented it as such to avoid wannabe smartasses, guess they still arrived. Since we’ve touched on the subject of managers and hiring, do you often hear the phrase “not a cultural fit”? Wouldn’t surprise me.

If an old geek argues with a senior architect about architecture, I kinda think the architect is the one who’s right in 99% of cases.

Sure, sure, old man. Everything was better when you were young.

There never was a majority of people who were into computers. It was always a minority. And I’d argue that nowadays there’s more developers because there’s simply more people with access to computers.

Some of them won’t like them, some will be neutral and some will be “geeking around”.

And having seen some code from people both older and younger, the younger ones are better (note that it’s my anecdotal evidence). And you at least can train the younger ones, while the “experienced” will argue with you and take energy out of your day.

I’m so tired of the stupid “when I was young, everything was better”. You know what else was exactly the same? The previous generation telling you how everything was better when they were young. Congrats, you’re them now.

Like the time that one game didn’t want to implement a separate train system, so trains are implemented as a huge hat that a NPC wears while going underground on the rails.

That was just rules to make it work on the technical side - you’re not helping the user experience if you have to wait half a day until someone manually approves your registration.

The rest would need to be discussed and actually thought out (and agreed upon with Lemmy devs, who own the join-lemmy domain).

I haven’t given it much thought because I see no point if it never gets implemented.
