Between that and never having the money to upgrade my computer I finally had to give up Gentoo after nearly 20 years of use. I keep wanting to go back but its just too painful and I just can’t bite the bullet to do a binary install.
To be fair, your SO is so old they don’t know what a meme is. Maybe in a few more years they will catch up to the rest of us
jecxjo@midwest.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...English5·2 months agoYour response is exactly why blanket rules are needed. You’re objecting about wearing safety equipment because you don’t feel like you need it. Maybe sometimes you don’t but allowing it to be a choice means that some moron is going to say they never need it. What is worse is that the one moron not being safe puts the rest of the team in danger. I used to work in the Oil and Gas industry and there were so many situations where someone getting injured meant someone else would have to extract them from the dangerous situation which then put the rescue team in danger. Personal choice isn’t cool when you’re then making everyone else’s lives worse.
For 30 minutes every 2 weeks, how often do you inspect your hard hats? Do you know how long they are supposed to be in circulation before being removed? Do they have the appropriate documentation for inspection and replacement? I’m willing to bet that with such a small amount of use none of that is a thing for you and your team. Hard hats wear out due to sun and temperature exposure long before they actually “look worn out”. I’d see all of the guys on the pipelines and wells have hard hats and flame retardant clothes replaced on a regular bases and then we’d have the guys who came in the service the water tanks that were run by a 3rd party contractor who had all old equipment because we were their only client for the type of situation that actually needed PPE.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...English12·2 months agoThat is a great example.
What happens when that crew is called to work next week where there are trees? Without that rule some businesses would skip buying PPE all together and say “screw it, it’s just one day what could happen?” Or they might have PPE that no one takes care of. Someone forgets theirs and no one stops them from working. If you have ever watched an OSHA safety video you know most work place deaths are due to being lazy or stupid.
Most businesses only cares about how much money you make and how much money you cost. That is why we need regulations even when you think they are a pointless waste.
The engine is C++ and the game code is C#.

Godot is a great example. The vast majority of the code you write is single function, callback style procedures. Rarely are you creating a hierarchy of class interfaces or dealing with a large multifaceted infrastructure. You are writing what can be done in pretty mundane python.
Rather, C# is there to grab the Unity community and they only really use it because idiomatic Unity may have bigger projects creating engines. C# still follows the HelloWorld complexity property of programing languages.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Religions have some of the wackiest rulesEnglish20·2 months agoSo there is that story in Genesis where the sons of Jacob have an army of 318 men circumcised so they could follow their religion.
Just think they probably put then into a pile, a small little mountain of foreskins.
I think that is probably due to the places where it shrines isn’t often a FOSS area. All my corporate use was for these massive windows applications. FOSS many times are small teams making very targeted solutions. Aside from Android, it feels like Java programmers are picking java out of personal skill. I don’t known what apps I use would be a good target for C#.
i switched when phones dropped the jack but just recently went USB to 3.5mm. Sadly both are crap.
Honestly I’m going to look into a media device again.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Trump is “desperate” to make a deal—China isn’t, analysts sayEnglish6·3 months agoThat reminds me of an article from back in the late 90’s or early 00’s about how much of the money he did make came from other people using him basically. They would talk him into projects and make him think it was his idea. He was such an easy mark and now we are starting to see it. Simply making fun of him will cause him to double down, major ass kissing will make him like you.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Trump is “desperate” to make a deal—China isn’t, analysts sayEnglish19·3 months agoIt makes more and more sense that he failed to keep a casino afloat.
The word you’re looking for is “context.”
jecxjo@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Democratic wages??? edit: never mind, it was a terrible idea that has many large holesEnglish6·3 months agoOne thing you will eventually find out is there is a good portion of the company who thinks they are an effective employee when they really aren’t. For example I work in Software and Hardware development. In 25 years I’ve worked in large companies and small, big teams, small teams and teams of one. I’ve had many project managers and in almost all cases they have ranged from bad to pointless. The well oiled teams found the project managers only got in the way and provided no ROI to their work. So much so that in one org the PM left and they never replaced them which resulted in the teams highest productive quarters two years running.
If we were to vote I’d ask for justification for those roles and what their returns are. What actual added benefit did they bring and what problems did they cause. The issue i foresee is that every single one of them would say they were very valuable and important. But if you asked the people under them doing the actual development you’d hear the exact opposite. With the pandemic and everyone working remotely you’d think their role would become even more important but a lot of places have shown that haven’t.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Warren Buffett’s son is on track to donate $1 billion in aid to Ukraine this year—and pledges to continue despite Trump’s shaky relationsEnglish4·3 months agoYou would think that but we did have a few tens of millions of people vote for someone who said he was going to fuck up the economy and now these people are all asking what the hell happened.
Maybe we should stop assuming and start calling a spade a spade.
jecxjo@midwest.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Warren Buffett’s son is on track to donate $1 billion in aid to Ukraine this year—and pledges to continue despite Trump’s shaky relationsEnglish1211·3 months agoYour examples listed above are skipping the part they are taking issue with, “becoming a billionaire.” The problem isn’t that it’s emotive language, its that you don’t care to focus on the portion they want to focus on.
To become a billionaire you make the vast majority of your money off the backs of other people. Some do it via markets, investment, buying and selling companies and all other things “capitalism.” There are others that do it through actual slavery and other extremely abusive methods. But no billionaires do the work themselves to make this money. And all billionaires could give more back to those doing the actual work, relishing themselves mere millionaires and still never have to worry about money.
Maybe we should be acknowledging when a billionaire does a good thing but not ignore the fact that they are just giving away other’s hard work. Maybe the only real good act a billionaire can do is not be a billionaire.

jecxjo@midwest.socialto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terribleEnglish2·3 months agoThe idea would be that the Gov renegotiates the loan, pays off some portion of the interest to make sure that all of us have money in savings expecting return to get it, and then the home owners would get a more reasonable rate. The government would also have to tell all the bank shareholders to take a long walk off a short pier. Oh and jail the C-level
The problem though was that many of the people taking on those horrible rates were people or properties that were bad investments. And the government never really cares enough to punish white collar crimes even they are industry wide like this. Look at Wells Fargo. They full on committed fraud, signing people up for accounts without their knowledge and no one went to jail. If you or I did that for one individual its a felony. But if you’re the bank itself its no big deal. WF should have been broken up and sold off and a bunch of people should be living in a cell.
I dated a free radical once. Nothing but broken bonds left in her wake.
