Appreciate that these updates use the yyyy-mm-dd format :D

Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.

Knew someone like this. they shut the hell up after they said "no-one wants to work a 9-5" and I asked them to find a single job listing within the hour that was within a half hour drive offering a 9-5 fixed salary and it didn't already require 5 years of high level experience. They found nothing, but it was still other peoples fault. "Why don't you just volunteer for free to get experience"

Utter shocked Pikachu face. its a concept that has been around for 100 years, and no-one did it before for a big reason.

There is an unreleased and un-leaked version of the 2012 ARGOS Christmas advert, not dissimilar to the infamous "rainbow for adults" sketch which leaked many years ago.

To watch it we had all our phones taken away from us, and there was a pretty thorough "OK you all saw it, funny hey, time to destroy the CD"

When musk hired ex NASA or VW employees 👍

When other companies hire ex twitter / Tesla staff 😡😤😡

Get tears of the kingdom as a physical copy from a supermarket. I have seen it as low as £48 new in shops Vs £60 in the estore.

What is mad is Breath of the Wild will still be £59.99 on the shelf next to it....

I miss the range of content on Reddit, and the weirdness. But I don't miss the people. Never believed friends how toxic reddit was until i joined Lemmy and realise dhow lovely the people here are.

Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can't, ring us, and we say "that site is closed".

Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?

Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.

Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don't care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don't think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.

How can i help donate and support lemmy.wold and the greater Lemmy ecosystem?

why are they blue!!!

Literally chose not to buy a powerbank because the power button flashed blue as bright as possible. my PC has blue LED's on the front for status indicators, and i put some black nail polish over them to block out about 80% of the light.

"would you like to receive notifications in your browser from this site?"

No. No I would not.

It how swift it has been. Friend and I went to a "mall" we hadn't been to since we were kids. He pointed out "holy crap, this is where it used to be rows and rows of payphones. Even in 2010 I didn't have a mobile, and only got one as all the payphones vanished.

Now so many things require an app or online sign-up.

It really really depends.

"What time does ASDA shut?" - well the answer involves someone in the comment section googling it, I can see the "just Google it" frustration.

But

"Why is the bottom of my 3D print really messy?" - anyone who could claim to be intermediate at 3D printing would know that it is either a support material issue, or maybe they haven't got "bridging" settings turned on. Replying with "a simple Google would find it was an issue with bridging" but the person asking the question may not even know that phrase to use.

Edit: I like to do the old "this is what i think it is, but here are some terms you could use to better understand in case my solution doesn't work"

Counter shower thought, I'm not even close to dating Lemmy. I spent 2 years getting to know Reddit, it will take me as long, if not longer due to Lemmy not being as mature as resdit was.

Right now, lemmy is the stranger at the train station asking why I am crying. It might turn into something, or I may just lean into Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / discord more.

Google has really gone to shit. "2009 Eurovision winner". 3 pages of the 2033 Eurovision winner.

Same with Google maps. "Pyramids of Giza", shows pyramids bar in London.

Fusion 360: we have unnecessarily decided to force you to use the cloud for this product

Also Fusion 360: *Noooo all you free users are using up too much of our server space, you will have to pay.

Here is an idea, let me run it on my PC and it won't use any of your servers

"Darkstar one" on Xbox 360. It was the only game that actually ran at 60FPS. when i eventually went to sell it (as i got it on PC) neither of the 2 game stores (GAME and CEX) would buy it off me as it didn't register on their system.

Now one that people probably know about, especially as it has a lot of HD re-releases, but when Okami came out, basically no-one knew it. A real shame, as it was a gem of a game.

In the same week switching to DDG browser and to Lemmy. God dayum I wish there was a good alternative for Gmail.

RIF was a daily for me. I never really cared too much for advertising on reddit. However the office I work has absolutely terrible signal. RIF would absolutely power through efficiently browsing reddit. Now that i have switched to the official app, the majority of my day is just waiting for content to load.

A real shame. The volume of people, and niche content on Reddit is incredible. I have a huge love for railways, model railways, virtual railways and... there are no communities here. Niche within a Niche.

Lets see Where Lemmy takes us!
