Time for the EU to adopt FrejaID


Just remember that we still need more signatures on the EU one, to rule out bot and incorrect signatures.


To lay off? They laid them off on Wednesday, this news is out of date. I was laid off too, fuck Microsoft and all their subsidiaries.


Whoever did their UX and control design should be fucking shot.

In what world does a crafting game not close containers with the tab key? Why the fuck are some of the exit buttons clickable and some of them you HAVE to hit escape, why do I have to hold down E for SO fucking long to take everything from a container, why do I have child lock to get off my bike?

Using the building tools is fucking annoying and painful, god damn. It’s like they’ve never played a survival crafting game in their lives.


Nah, I don’t think it’s mismanagement, it’s just planned job cuts to make the financials look better.

Why did MS lay off 3% of its workforce after having something like 15% more revenue than expected? It has nothing to do with mismanagement.

The corpo bullshit reasons they give are just thinly veiled lies.


My work PC was upgraded to 11 last night, when I go back to the office I’m switching to Linux.


We (large European gaming companies employees) have been trying to get a CBA for a year and a half now, sometimes it takes time.



Graphene is being used in certain high sensitivity/quality sensor chips.



Same could be said about 90% of things humans do.

While I agree, we don’t do enough, can you say your job directly impacts the environment for the positive? If not, then you, like me, like them, are part of the problem.




I guess, but I dunno, that still seems dubious to me.


I never understood why people would want polluted air and water, blows my mind.


Cool, with the phone on silent (which I don’t do) I’d have missed that too, and would have been cancelled and rescheduled.

This adamant denial that phone calls are useful is weird.


Tell that to the delivery driver that called me because they were outside with my groceries.


Only if it’s right by you or isn’t in your bag or something. Hence audible alerts, they break through the physical barriers.


I don’t really get the whole not answering the phone thing. I hate phonecalls but I always answer my phone.

The amount of important calls I’d have missed if I buried my head in the sand like that is insane.

Sure if 90% of the calls were sales or scams I’d think differently, but there are ways to prevent that too.

I find it weird that everyone has their phone on silent all the time too. If mine was on silent I’d never look at it unless I’m bored.


Maybe it’s time to design a super slim case for mine that has a keyboard, only I worry it’ll be top heavy


I think I’m okay with that tbh. I miss my Blackberry Torch. Full touch screen on the front and a slide out keyboard



BTW, I work for one of those evil games companies that do reprehensible things, because I like having a good working environment and having a well paying job. You too have a good day.


With every word out of your mouth, you paint a more detailed picture of just how shitty a person you are despite your supposed ethics.

Feel free to pick up the brush and continue painting at the bottom of this message…


I use GPT and CoPilot at work and they’ve definitely made my life easier and me more productive. I guess that it depends on what management expects of the employees. It’s not a magic bullet.

Also freelancers are saving the day? Whelp, looks like full time jobs are on the chopping block then. And I wish that this was restricted to the American corporate hellscape but unfortunately their bullshit is like a bad infection that spreads across the world.


Same here. I’ll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.



Not sure where you’re getting that from but okay. I’m not going to argue with you. I also didn’t know that stating that a political party is shit was xenophobic, I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I hope you have a great day.


Careful, the mods consider what I said radical and breaking lemmy rules (gestures vaguely). Apparently independent operating systems are a taboo here.




I guess you’re right… Need a Linux distros like that so that can also change.




I’ve blocked the Win11 upgrade on my work laptop via GPO, but I’m a sys eng, so have full control.


This is in my top 10 reasons not to switch. You can make them small still via a registry edit, but then it messes up the date/time display.



Have you ever developed for apple? Apple is it’s own biggest gatekeeper. People don’t want to develop for them.


Think of the corporations and all their lost profits! Next, the internet! That place is rife with copyright infringement.


Yeah, I have a bunch of old phones that I rescued and I’d love to set them up as an arm kubernetes cluster to play with.


I feel like I should leave the gaming industry
So I've worked in IT for around 18 years now and in that time I've worked for 2 gaming companies, I started my most recent a year ago, but I'm wondering if I should just jump ship for the tech industry again, I'm now waiting for the layoffs in our business unit. I'm an immigrant living on a work permit and losing my job will mean losing the life I've made for myself over the last 4 years, and that terrifies me. I used to love the company I work for but now I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore.
