You didn't specifically account for the edge case I personally identify with, which means you're just the absolute worst!

I only skim read your comment and missed the context, so now I'm going to attack a strawman you didn't say!

What frustrates me is that it's not 100% insane, just 95%. There are Silicon Valley CEOs and others that regularly get transfusions of blood from younger, healthier people as a means of improving their own health. The New Yorker wrote about this and some other crazy life extension stuff happening in the Silicon Valley in 2017.

So no tortured babies or adrenochrome, but we do quite literally have people taking blood from the young in an attempt to extend their own lives.

Most people on Lemmy prefer Mastodon, as it's not run by a corporation, and is federated like Lemmy. It's also built off the same underlying protocol, meaning it's interoperable with lemmy.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It's the first time I've seen this claim and would like to know more.

Fuck everything about that. A family emergency is an emergency. This is only within the ballpark of reasonable if you don'g have the time off to spend and need to have the hours in.

Apologies if you've heard this before:

Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that's you failing.

If your boss can't find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that's them failing.

Likewise if you tell them you can't get something done because you're only one person, it's their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they're just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.

More features for our employee account lifecycle automations. The coding isn't as much the hard part as keeping track of all the different moving pieces and how it all interacts.

For example, when using Azure Enterprise App user provisioning to sync data into AD from an HR system, it can only set the Name (separate from DisplayName) property when creating a new user. This limitation isn't documented anywhere I can find, and it doesn't even show as an error in the logs when it tries to update an existing one and fails.


It's the curse of "one man army": this shit is too complicated to keep it all in my head at one time, and also too complicated to bring anyone up to speed in a reasonable time frame. So I'll continue soldiering on with it on my own. Thankfully the end is in sight.

Don't do this sort of shit for any boss that isn't worth it. Mine has no overtime expectations, is very obviously training me to move upward within the team, and each of the last two years I've gotten >10% raises.

Yeah, that's the big issue with Kodi. Good luck getting any legitimate streaming services to work at more than 720p at best. And you can forget about library integration with those legit streaming service addons too.

The best user experience is trying to find the most trustworthy pre-packaged/configured pirate "version", and optionally paying for realdebrid.

I've seen someone suggest wildmagic wands for a one shot.

Just because something can swim doesn't make it a fish.

Does this look like the face of mercy?

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

Shoutout to !helloharu@lemmy.world making the original post.

Now that romhacking.net is (effectively) dead, what sites are everyone using to keep up with new releases?

Have any of the fan continuation projects really risen beyond simply rehosting the DB that was put up on archive.org?

 
 
 
 

Probably need this disclaimer before half the shit I say.

 

Going way back to late 2000s internet memes with this one. "Ceiling cat watches you masturbate"
