That’s what you say now because you are not in that situation. But I’m quite certain you would not. Because if you know, you used to have for example 500k salary and suddenly it would be 250k, you would refuse and want the full 500k. No matter whether you produce “slob”.

I certainly would not be okay with getting my salary suddenly halved. No matter what kind of work or salary it first was.

I sort of find it funny and sad that some people expect another person to do the same work (or similar) for half the salary. While most of us would not do that if it wasn’t needed. Sure, he’s rich but money is money.

Would you do the same work you’re currently doing for half the salary when you know, you can get the same or better salary elsewhere? I don’t think so.

Renner went on to suggest that the proposed lower salary was a result of his near-fatal 2023

Though his take on this is.. well, odd.

“This is not Marvel, mind you. This is like, just Disney, not even really Disney. It’s just the penny pinchers, the accountants. I told them to go fly a kite. I mean, just at the at the insult offer. So we didn’t see eye to eye on it,”

It’s sad that he became arrogant. He could’ve just let it at “no, I will not do it”.

Anyone watched this show and could tell if it’s worth to watch?

Can you explain? I thought Proton was a good service due to their VPN and such.

Really want to try this game but I heard it has Gacha system/ micro transactions. Not fun of that kind of system

I quit watching after the movie when Paul Walker passed away. Tried to watch fast X (or whatever its name was) but quit immediately after the scene of “car jumps off a cliff, dude grabs a cable and gets to the other side”.

I miss the movies where it was actually about the cars, tuning and the people around it.

Quick summary because I’m at work; I found it a very good show.

  • Decent/ good story.
  • Good action.
  • Good acting (both the guy from Fantastic beast and the woman from LaCasaDePapel).
  • It did not overstay, the episodes were just about right for the show.

I was intern at a discount store and we had one manager and she was so far the worst.

She started out all cool and chill. However when there were stressful moments, she would blame anyone else but herself.

I remember, she told a colleague to put all the materials “on the left side”, I saw the colleague being really busy with multiple costumers. So I told the colleague, I would do it for her. So I did and then the manager starts to yell, that she didn’t want it at the left side and wanted to speak to the one who did it.

I just said, I did and took the blame. Colleague kept thanking me. But these situations were basically an everyday thing. She bullied people this way into quitting, even if this wasn’t her intention.

Glad I left after my internship ended there.

Moet eerlijk zeggen dat het me nooit echt heeft uitgemaakt.

I have that Asus XG27ACS, bought it a couple of months this ago. I’ve been very happy with it.

How's the IPS glow/ backlight bleed in dark scenes and games?

It didn’t cost a fortune either. I think its the cheapest monitor I’ve bought in 20 years but it’s as good as any I’ve had before.

I'm tempted to either get an W-OLED (ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG) or re-purchase the Asus XG27ACS in a different store with the hope it will work.

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow.

I was the same as you with my old (still current) monitor but then, I bought the DELL and it was well, very notable: DELL IPS Glow (IPS Bleed?). To the point it was not a black screen anymore. It never really bothered me until, I had the DELL for a short time.

Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel.

That's what I have been reading here and there, that VA are good for visuals (movies, tv shows and such) but bad for gaming. Though it seems that some people have a decent experience with VA panels when gaming but I don't want to risk it (yet). Unfortunate that the new panel did the same thing.

bought an OLED.

How has the OLED monitor been for you when gaming (and either general usage or office work)? Response time, text clarity, motion and actual black screen? Since like another person said that there's not really one-fit and always have to have a compronis (IPS with glow and OLED with possible burn-in), I'm tempted to purchase* an OLED monitor for around €600 and then just save up money for when the burn-in happens. I have been trying to find a decent monitor for quite a few months, so I have become a bit impatient and just want a good monitor to game mostly (say 80% gaming and the 20% is either browsing, movies, tv shows and office work).

 

Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?

It genuinely bothers me that Apple doesn’t allow this.

 

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go. Their dedicated Reddit is on private due to the fiasco.

I’m watching “Mr.Robot” and pretty often an extra letter with the subtitles comes, shows as [P].

I added a screenshot of what, I meant.

Does anyone knows what this means?

PS: I recommend this show!

I know this is the TestFlight version, so bugs to be expected however…

Is it me or have there been a bit more bugs lately? Perhaps I’m just unlucky.

The issues I have encountered:

  • Sudden crashes
  • Sudden freezes
  • Some subscriptions disappearing
  • Laggy with scrolling
  • Notifications does not work
 

I played GoT on release and right after Sekiro, thinking it would be A similar game.

It certainly wasn’t and thus didn’t really enjoy it, although the gameplay was alright. Also played on a pod TV which wasn’t able to do 4K.

Now I’m curious if it is worth it to replay the game on PS5 with a 4K TV.

I remember the story was about honor, dignity, revenge and not to be ‘enslaved’ by it. However the gameplay was similar to Assassin Creed kind and a bit lackluster.

Would you recommend the game again or rather try another game?

 

So my brother loves the Gundam Wing series and he really wants me to watch with him the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway”.

However, I have never really watched the Gundam series as - I was never really into Mecha besides a few animes.

Thus my question is: Can I watch the Hathaway movie without knowing anything about the anime series?

 

So recently learnt about Mastodon, thought I will just try it!

However, I have never used Twitter (ahem, sorry. “X”). I don’t really understand how it all works.

I have followed a few communities/people but all I see is single chat-messages with no replies beneath it and couldn’t really see about what it is unless it’s specific said in the sentence.

Could someone try to explain it a bit, a shorty summary or redirect me to somewhere it is already explained?

Note: I’m using Mammoth app for iOS, for Mastodon.

For the digital readers, on which platform do you read and why?

Phone, eReader, tablet, iPad etc.

I personally have been reading on my iPhone but it feels a bit.. off lately. Can’t pinpoint what exactly it is.

Was thinking to purchase a tablet or eReader but uncertain which one and if they’re worth to get for only reading.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! I’ll look into them all!

 

So, I’m bit out of the loop.

FHMY went down due to the ML domain (right?) and it seems they went to Calckey.

I was wondering whether FHMY will return to Lemmy sooner or later.

I was not sure where to post this, apologies if this t the right place to do so.

 

Was not sure where to post/ask this. Apologies of this is the wrong place to do so.

Is there any federated Pinterest alternative which isn’t bombarded with advertisements?

 

I’m unable to login through the web browser on PC. Can fill in the logins but whenever hitting the login button, nothing happens.

 

So Lemmy.World got hacked/hijacked today. I was wondering if our community was affected by it as well.

Do we need to change password/email to be certain or not needed?

 

Is it possible to have an alphabetic order with favorite tab within the traverse tab?

I added an screenshot of how Apollo did it because, I know my explanation is a bit vague.
