Awards are just bespoke emoji. You can still react to a comment with a picture or emoji if you want.
IMO your comment, actually expressing explicit and specific approval, is worth more than, like... a picture of a little whale with money coming out of its blowhole, or whatever.
My gut / experience tells me this is mostly about the PSN account numbers, and some execs getting a gazillion dollar bonus if they can push it above certain target by the next report, even if they damage the revenues in the process.
I'm inclined to suspect the same. A move like this does not happen without a project "champion" pushing through internal resistance.
I have seen exactly this kind of shortsighted min-maxing, where an exec will fixate on some metric or goal, and just wreck everything in their path.
I think it's cute, but haven't heard a single good thing about it. I also thought the "cyber truck" was beautiful so obviously I have some wires crossed compared to most folks
If it's just an unsupervised timed test just cheat as much as you want since the test is bullshit and most likely has nothing to do with the job you're actually applying for.
That's not cheating - that's doing the job. Whether that involves looking everything up, asking for help, brute forcing it, hell (not recommended, but) even copy+pasting code.
If that's how you're going to be working, then it's an accurate representation of what kind of results your employer can expect.
Whatever works for you, but I love writing a quality commit message. It's like my reward for doing all that work - wrapping up the changes in a nice little summary.
Sometimes I just scroll through my commits when I'm feeling blue...
That's correct. This is for work, which uses GitHub. The dangling commits remain accessible via their sha through the web ui, so I can link them in the PR description. I don't put them in the actual commit message.
I think these are garbage collected eventually, but no idea on cadence. It's long, anyway.
Bittersweet memories... I'll always associate this game with being down and out.
There was a jobs centre where I would go to search for jobs, print resumes, apply online, etc. Anyway, this was one of the games I played while in between interviews, or waiting for the men's shelter to open.
This game along with Ricochet HD got me through the wringer without needing drugs or alcohol as a pillow, so I'm thankful they were there when I needed them.
Anyway that's my needlessly wrought story of how lofi windows games saved me lol
Conservatives and liberal chuds also use it because they see us saying it, not realising that it's a call-out of viscous authoritarianism, and not necessarily a critique of communism let alone socialism.
Historically, I've perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
My theory is that if you were really principled, you would have got out of there a long time ago. So what you've got left are people who are ok to put up with a shitty status quo, so long as they get their fix. You know, moderates.
I don't go on reddit anymore, but if it's full of people who put up with shit, then it's only natural that the shit started rolling in.
It was whatever you wanted it to be. I had one friend who bought the line that it was about "ethics in journalism" (imagine me doing a concussive eye roll here). He was on the redpill path at the time (luckily pulled back from the edge since). Anyway, I think the melange of ideologies to sample from gamer gate were appealing to people who felt victimised by society, but didn't want to acknowledge their role in their victimisation, let alone how capitalism/fascism/patriarchy actively hurt them and retarded their aims (aimless though these types tend to be).

I've been using kagi for a couple months and it's great. The AI shit is pretty prominent, but optional, so your experience will vary depending on your tolerance for that stuff. Also it's not free lol.
Yeah that sounds familiar. I recently did A "couch-to-5k" jogging...challenge...thing. Anyway, now I'm like, do I just keep jogging? Feels anticlimactic. I thinking checking the box off my todos than I did at the finish line lol.
I'm curious: do you pretend to be excited?
I kind of treated it like playing a sport -- you take part in the Magic Circle -- pretending to care about the outcome to increase everyone's enjoyment, while knowing it's just a game. Maybe that's what being "a good sport" means...
I'm curious because I've been assuming that accomplishment isn't so much a feeling as a performance. I do sometimes get a feeling of intense relief, when I can stop doing something painful. All the better if I'm not stopping because I've "failed."
I think that's the feeling people are after but now I'm doubting myself.
So the employees who are employed by donations, or all contributors? Not trying to throw a wrench in your suggestion, just wondering what this would look like for masto

In addition to some already mentioned, I keep a diary. A couple entries a week. Sometimes to record a feeling, other times just to get a feeling out of my head and on to the page. Sometimes just to feel the subtle joy of making marks on a real page, after a day of hammering keys at the cloud.

Same. That's the biggest thing I'm seeing from orgs all over: using AI as a kind of "appeal to authority" to justify shitty behavior that they've been wanting to do all along. If they didn't want to act like this then they would double-check, adjust, or correct the results.
The AI gives them a headless authority to point to, saying in a way, that they were just following orders
Militant meat eaters are just as annoying as cliché vegans but there seem to be more of the former.
I eat meat from time to time, so definitely not even vegetarian, but I've absolutely run into more offended meat eaters than vegans IRL, but meat at dinner is a big part of my home country's culture.
I remember my sisters' boyfriend fuming, thinking we were trolling him by not having meat at a family dinner. The meat eating mind cannot comprehend.
