I wish there was a way to flag and hide walkthroughs like this.

Some are creative, like this one. But most are low effort "How to enjoy the game", consisting of tips like "turn on PC".

But joke walkthroughs just add noise to most people who want to solve a problem.

When I was interested in mobile development, one of the big takeaways is to gear your game towards preteens. They have the free time to play, the numbers to add player count, and the opportunity to give you money.

I heard it's why YouTubers gear their content towards that audience too, even if they aren't actively admitting to it.

This is accurate. I work at a international company. We will tell a bunch of countries to go fuck themselves since combined, they make like 1% of sales.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm just saying it's a thing many companies do.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Pretty much.

Maybe I'm some rare unicorn. But I have NEVER successfully got a job filling out forms like this. It's a huge waste of my time.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Then I sneak through the backdoor then, or they fill it out for me.

Again, never have I filled them out and got a job.

Absolutely a grift.

The CEO is a fucking joke. This is their bio on linkedin.

Serial Entrepreneur, semi - Pro Lamborghini Super Trofeo racer, music producer, car and vintage synth collector.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit...

Appreciate the recognition on your part!

My wife actually called me out on my one worded answers, as the way I say it (my tone of voice), it comes off very unfriendly or cold.

Before --

"Do you want more water?"

Me: "Yep." (Cold silence.)

Now --

"Do you want more water?"

Me: "Yes please! Thank you so much."

I absolutely noticed a difference by just adding more words makes me come off less hostile and more polite.

Id change it to "it's not financially viable to have many bots yet".

I watched it as a teenager and cried heavily.

This was during the era where we saw beheading videos, two girls one cup, all sorts of rotten shit. And a anime made me break down.

Honestly I see a lot of these stats as circle jerking and just used as fodder to push a narrative.

In my tech circle, most of us own all of them. Like 10% only Linux, 10% only windows, 10% only Mac, then 70% Mac/windows/Linux. So 🤷‍♀️

Yep work harassment. Not even a maybe.

If some edgelord employee sent a picture of a gun to someone with no context, HR will file it under threat. The edgelord won't get in serious trouble, but would be warned about that since it's vague and can be anything from showing their cool gun collection, to threatening to shoot.

Now a video of actual murder... You better believe thats harassment. No question about it. Immediate removal.

And as the comment above - if he's sending that to you, he absolutely will be sending nasty shit to your other coworkers, especially to those who can't speak up or are too afraid.

My psychiatrist often kills five minutes of my hour convo ranting about freud. I love it. (Until I had to pay for mental services directly instead of my work paying for it)

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I don't know about that. I now stick to default names after HR told my department to help them identify some leakers on reddit.

In 2017, I jumped ship to a new job as they were transitioning to cloud server everything. The genius CTO (who was the owners wife) pushed for it, quoting they can save a lot of money.

Then she fired half the IT staff.

Two years later and a few major security hacks/ransomware events, they had to hire even more IT folks to unfuck their cloud setup.

Stupid question:

What is the commercial comparison? Like vine/Instagram video/YouTube shorts?

I'm old and I don't understand how those social media platforms above work but I'm willing to figure it out to add content to the fediverse.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Rewrite history? Difficult.

Start a new project and nuke the old one? Finger guns.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

If you're using Google as your primary anything, sorry but youre going to get screwed over.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Just remember the one important rule about potatos.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

I'm really glad during the pandemic, a bunch of departments in my company focused on getting everyone Linux laptops. That led to a widespread adoption companywide.

I doubt any department is going to get approval to move to Windows 11 and deal with Microsoft's fees.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Can we get a tldr? Can't watch a video.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

It should be "pointy hat man" and "castle"

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Amazing.

I'm sick of buying a new phone every three years because the battery is dead or the processor is slow, nothing can be replaced without it being wildly expensive and now it's a paperweight.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Are they cheap though? Maybe in the grand scheme of things.

Like $200 for one Thinkpad versus five raspberry pis.

It bothers me that the major complaint is not the privacy issues or the people who own it behind the scenes...

but the technology used to build the desktop application. Electron is just a tool.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

I feel bad because while I don't reach for react (I usually pick Vue or vanilla), people's comments about react is really depressing.

There's a LOT of shitty react code. And when you see beautiful react implementation, it's like a work of art.

Unfortunately, react projects have been given to by bootcamps grads with 6 months of experience and it's like the blind leading the blind...

I wonder if it's like PHP. Lots of people shit on it because they had to futz around in a garbage project written by garbage developers, fully unaware that it can be elegant in the hands of a professional team who cares about code quality.
