Ah yes every obnoxious and self absorbed person or difficult coworker on earth must be mentally ill.
Not every shitty character trait can be fixed like this, or is even worthy of fixing. Sometimes people are just assholes.

Even the german version is still close to this origin, Donnerstag is literally just Thunder's Day.
Another fun fact, while the norse pantheon is generally considered to be, well, nordic, before Christianity came they were also revered further down south by the Germanic peoples, sometimes under different names though (Odin = Wotan for example).

I didn't miss your point, mine was just that a global corporation will not commit to doing this without the realistic expectation that it will work out for them. Perhaps Japan has less or no unions, perhaps the legal system does not provide for the employees suing them on the basis of "you made my job deliberately boring". Just that especially a large corp such as this will not do this unless they crunched the numbers and it has been calculated this is the cheapest way towards their objective.

Personally i didn't really have performance anxiety, but I would get really pumped every match with my pulse racing and sometimes even my hands shaking afterwards. I always had to take breaks in between ladder games, only after an hour or two it would normalize enough to queue repeatedly.
The cheese didnt bother me much, I always loved macro and did that every game behind good scouting, often leading to some timing attack I built up to like a stim bio timing or tank marine drop.

I mean, they probably wouldn't bother doing this if the legal framework wouldn't make this a viable strategy. If it is culturally and legally difficult to fire your employees it makes "sense" to instead bore them into quitting, ethical concerns aside.

I think they would just make it extra shitty. Nothing to do plus normal workplace rules: no sleeping, no private conversations or electronic devices, nothing not work related on the computer. Enjoy doing nothing nothing, where anything remotely resembling a mental escape is not allowed.

Why are you absurdly antagonistic in a random comment chain, what the fuck
I came across this reading the comments and at first i thought you were doing some kind of pedantic keyboard warrior bit.

Probably not that weird when you go to someones house to "watch a movie" and end up actually watching a movie. And then the dude doesnt even get the hint when she basically rubs up against him. At that point she probably said fuck it, ill get naked and if that doesnt work i dont know either. And it didnt work

I mean, even if you try to play along it seems crazy not a single person would visibly retch or show another sign of disgust. I once rode the subway and there was a homeless man who had visibly shat himself some distance on the station, when the wind blew in and like two dozen people waiting at the station would audibly gag and retch from the stench.
I definitely believe the trumpet stinks, but i am just stumped how nobody, not even random supporters are taken by surprise to the effect of a repulsed reaction. I know i am covering my nose if it smells like shit all of a sudden.

Honestly I don't understand how this is an issue he cannot fix. Supposedly he is wealthy and connected, I can't believe he couldn't get treatment if it is some sort of condition or fucking use soap on a daily basis if it is not.
The only other thing coming to mind is the purported incontinence and adult diapers, but then I can't believe all his sycophants or generally all of the people he interacts with are willing to ignore an adult man smelling like literal feces without fail.

To be honest I wouldn't read too much into that. Discovery was so obnoxiously on the nose with its representation I'd bet if Tilly was supposed to be autistic or neurodivergent in general she'd have been introduced as such, with half a dozen situations where it is brought up artificially.

internet archive is literally right now under attack by hostile actors, which by all logic must be capitalists or governments who want to destroy the public library in favor of a paid and/or censored one.
we shouldnt trust that it will still exist in a few years the way the world is moving.

Lol fuck that. Nobody in a bad spot wants to hear that some underage minority prostitutes in some bigoted religious third world country have it worse. There is always someone who has it worse, in fact this is one of the most common deflections when the marginalized ask for (literal) change.

We see this and think of an amazing and essential public service. A capitalist sees this and tries to find a way to make money with it, and the first step is to ruin the free product.
Hey guys, I am trying to get rid of my old Facebook accounts. I have not been using them for years, in fact I dont know their login data and for one i dont even have access to the email address any more. I am a EU citizen and attempted to instruct them to close the accounts per email, since logging in requires me to consent to them using my data or pay money (probably illegal here too). They sent me a quick response basically to go fuck myself, even after I offered to provide personal identification to verify I am the account owner and reminded them that I am an EU citizen and that my data is subject to those laws. How can i force these fuckers to comply with my request for deletion of the accounts and associated data?
Hey guys, I made the switch to Linux about a week ago and have mo complaints so far. Except maybe this: I can't seem to find a way in Linux to get proper loudness equalization like I got on windows. My issue is that I have a bunch of media, especially shows and movies, that are suffering from way too loud gunshots, explosions, music and so forth and really quiet dialogue. I know this is because sound engineers make the audio fit for cinemas and not my living room, it is a problem nonetheless. Under windows there is a simple toggle in even the most basic sound cards and settings called loudness equalization, that corrects those perceived differences quite effectively, which Linux is lacking. A bit of web search led me to the term ReplayGain, which seems to be the proper name for it, and I enabled it for my media from within the player apps. However it doesn't really work like i am used to. Sounds and language constantly change volume mid sentence, which is very irritating to me. ReplayGain also doesn't really help avoiding those sudden bursts of loudness, I still blast awake my neighbors on accident when watching a move later at night. Is there some way to get at that windows audio codec or whatever they use, that works so much better? Thanks for reading
Hey guys, so i just now pulled the trigger, formatted my windows installation and installed Linux for the first time. I went with bazzite, which seems very gaming friendly and idiot proof with its rollback functionality. Now to the issue: I have 3 drives in my computer, one 500gb SSD which i used for the OS. This one can be accessed fine as expected. The other two, a 2tb SSD and 1tb HDD however, dont. I cant seem to find a way to access them, and i have all my media on there / want to install games onto them. How can i access them, and tell the OS that these two are also part of its system?
Hey guys, I am somewhat new to android (went straight to grapheneos) and am a bit annoyed with this widget. It looks good, but the skip buttons are *tiny* and my gorilla fingers have trouble hitting them reliably. Is there a way to change to a different layout with bigger buttons or even gesture support? I am aware that most music apps come with a widget for the home screen but I specifically need the one shown on the lock screen and pulldown menu to change. Thanks in advance!
I hope this is the proper place to ask, though probably only indirectly on topic for this community. What I am looking for is a way or tool to extract from a YouTube playlist the information *which* of my saved videos (usually very niche music from about a decade ago) are no longer available in it (so that I might *procure* them elsewhere). With google being google, and the condensed information of "x videos are no longer available" that is displayed, I am fairly sure the information isnt *gone* gone, just hidden from the user. Is there a way to get at that info? Thanks in advance
Hallo, ich hoffe das Thema passt hier mit rein, auch wenn es nur angrenzt an das Privatsphäre-Bewusstsein. Also folgendes: Ich habe kürzlich einen RSS reader installiert, und mir einige feeds abonniert, in erster Linie Nachrichten, um die elenden daten-oder-geld-banner welche auf vielen seiten heutzutage verwendet werden, zu vermeiden. Leider musste ich nach langem zusammenklauben der feeds feststellen dass der Großteil der Anbieter den feed nur als Weiterleitung auf deren Website behandelt, was den Sinn des ganzen ja komplett verfehlt. Die einzigen die ich fand, welche tatsächlich auch information darüber verbreiten und zumindest halbwegs seriös sind, sind die Tagesschau und n-tv. Das ist aber leider recht mager, kennt jemand hier vielleicht noch andere gute feeds, welche auch tatsächlich feeds sind und nicht nur links mit clickbait Überschrift? Interessieren würden mich allgemeine (globale) Nachrichten, innenpolitisches, und allgemein zeitgenössisches linkes bzw. progressives Gedankengut. Meinungsmache aber nicht, journalistische Mindeststandards und eine gewisse Neutralität sollten schon eingehalten werden. Erwähnte feeds: https://www.tagesschau.de/XML/rss2 https://www.ntv.de/Politik/rss
The civics were a tossup between shadow council and police state but I really couldn't justify not using one of the other two, they fit so well.
So i recently got my first android phone after having been an iphone user for years. So far i am really happy and especially enjoy finding foss alternatives to as many apps as possible. However i cant seem to find a gameboy emulator, one oft the things i missed on ios all those years. Mostly for gba games, maybe gbc too. Does someone here have a recommendation? All the ones i found on fdroid were incompatible.
Hallo, nach meinem vorigen post von vor ein paar Wochen (https://lemmy.zip/post/12072494) bin ich jetzt dabei mein leben insgesamt von so vielen Konzernen wie möglich zu befreien (das schlimmste bisher war der Wechsel von spotify zurück zu lokalen Dateien die mir gehören, man findet fast nichts mehr außer mainstream releases). Klappt soweit ganz gut, allerdings scheint es keine wirkliche alternative zu Google oder Apple maps zu geben. Alle Dienste welche ich mir angesehen habe waren leider zu unzuverlässig oder unvollständig. Ich muss auch endlich mal meinen Gmail-account wechseln (habe ich seit bald 20 Jahren, wird sicher spaßig die Adresse *überall* zu wechseln). Gibt es da etwas empfehlenswertes? Ich habe proton ein paar mal in Kommentaren gelesen. Bin ich damit gut beraten? Dann gibt's noch „Nischen-Apps" wie die banking apps meiner Sparkasse oder das digitale busticket welches in meiner Region verwendet wird, beide sind im Grunde alternativlos, aber nicht notwendigerweise sparsam mit der Datenerhebung. Letztendlich sind da dann noch die verbleibenden messenger (telegram und discord) welche ich auch gern los wäre, ist aber leider komplett abhängig davon was alle anderen benutzen. Besonders discord missfällt mir, die sind fast so schlimm wie facebook mit der schnüffelei. Ich habe aber mal bei oberflächlicher websuche einige alternativ Clients entdeckt, vielleicht tut sich da ja was auf. Vielleicht hat hier ja jemand ein paar tips?
I was wondering if you could add alternate icon support for the Android version, so it can be themed properly. Obviously this is purely cosmetic, but it would be a very nice addition Update for future readers: the functionality actually already exists, choose one of the themed icons for voyager from the list.
So it just occurred to me that during the TNG production era there is a shift in ship nomenclature: - TNG: *The* Enterprise - DS9: *The* Defiant/Yukon/Danube/etc. - VOY: ~~The~~ Voyager - (ENT): "Ennurprais" is all that’s left. Seems towards the later shows they stopped referring to the ship as a, well, ship and just addressed it as a character? Why?
Hey, ich bin momentan auf der Suche nach einem neuen Smartphone und würde gern so "offline" wie möglich sein: möglichst kein OS / keine Software von den großen tech-Konzernen, kein Tracking, Login, telemetrie etc. Wo es nur geht. AI Features finde ich grundsätzlich interessant, möchte aber wenn dann nur lokal laufende (offline) Funktionalitäten. Ich hab mich bisher eher wenig mit meinem Datenschutz auf dem Handy befasst und bin daher noch recht planlos was das Ganze angeht. Empfehlungen oder allgemeine Anregungen sind gern gesehen 👀 Edit: danke für die guten infos, ich hab mich jetzt für ein Pixel + grapheneOS entschieden.
So I recently doomscrolled imaginarystarships, and saved a few posts I liked. When I wanted to revisit those I discovered that saved posts are sorted by when they were originally posted, not when I saved them, causing some of the older images I saved to be *very* far down the list. This is very annoying to deal with if you (like me) sometimes go on a saving spree regarding a specific topic and would like those saves to be logically grouped together.
I noticed that some instances seem to sort of shadowban users from what I presume is any instance not on a whitelist. This might sound like it might be regular defederation at first, but I can see or interact with their content just fine from my all feed while anytime I attempt to interact with communities on there in any way literally *nothing* happens, as if my contribution were invisible. No replies, up or downvotes, no deletion or ban. Just shouting into the void while everyone around you (from that or other whitelisted instances) is having lively discussion. Granted there is also the possibility that my contributions were uninteresting but my general experience is that people love to argue, or at least downvote whom they disagree with. Is this a thing I should be aware of? That some federated instances have unilateral shadowbans in place?
So I am hoping to finally get around to installing Linux for the first time. Ideally I would like to eventually replace my win10 installation with it, but for now I plan on dual booting until I am comfortable enough on Linux. This leads me to a couple questions: - which one is best suited for gaming? I do a couple other things as well but I would expect that any OS could deal with those. I know vaguely about proton / the steam deck improvements that trickled down, but don’t know if and how that affects different Linux versions. - I read some days ago that ubuntu is being used by Microsoft, does that mean it is more compatible with their other applications? - I also read that amd is better suited to linux because nvidia refuses to support it, which would be a happy coincidence for me because I just recently built a fully amd computer, is that actually true? - And lastly, provided there is even a definitive answer to my first question, where should I look to get started? I have never dealt with Linux before but would consider myself reasonably tech / computer savvy. Thank you
