That seems to require a level of foresight and planning that most corporations don’t have. That’s almost like a blueprint for failure when some middle manager changes the scope of a project with a hard coded time limit, IMO.

Anyone interested in not-agile development? Maybe we can call it “Ship it when it’s ready” lol

Ancient developer here / not really a coder, but what the hell is “Agile” software development?

Is it some kind of pseudonym for pushing buggy, untested code to a production server or something?

Like a speed run category for software development?

I love Lemmy

The rich have problems paying just their regular owed taxes, nothing even exceptional; they draft legislation to lower their own tax rates while keeping taxes on labor the same.

Why is capital gains taxed at a lower rate than income? Is sitting on a pile of money and watching it grow somehow more noble than sweating and hard work?

I think a carbon tax is necessary but I think getting the responsible parties in our industrial world to actually pay it, would be extremely difficult. You’d never see such bipartisan cooperation in various governments until someone threatens the subsidies for the liquid black gold.

Humanity! Fuck yeah! Only in 200 years!

The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.

Okay. This fucking war ends today.

I got lucky, I bought a pair of Focal Elears on sale for like $800 and they’re so good I quit my search.

Legitimately everything just sounds amazing, well, transparent. I forget I’m wearing them and it sounds like stuff is just in the room or whatever. That’s good enough for me.

We can sit on chairs but slouching on stuff is way more comfortable.

I mean we pretty much know that micro and nanoplastic cause all sorts of various cancers, and especially leech into water, so like, those disposable spring water bottles are all just a helping gulp of liquid plastic into bodies who are desperately repairing cellular damage and inflammation caused by said plastic shards lodging themselves deep into every membrane.

But yes have you heard of our friend leaded gasoline, yet? C:

I’ve had a real one from a Turkish place called Gülloglö, which no longer exists, and it was incredible. It was like a block of rose water, covered in powdered sugar, and biting into it was a floral, sugary, explosion, especially combined with their harsh, dark, Turkish tea – unbelievable.

I loved that place, and no idea how they went under.

Great question! Are any events out of order or seem strange to you? Major figured disappearing or reappearing?

You’re waiting for a very specific event which is like a soft apocalypse obviating all of this bullshit work. A utopian, not dystopian change, brought upon by a rapid shift in technology which solves all of our problems and our society in one fell swoop. No more work, just peace, bliss, and vacations for everyone, like a human uplift. Maybe aliens do it. They just benevolently gift us the tech. It’s not impossible, it’s on the horizon.

Why?: It’s happened before, with the freedom and creation of the Internet, which was a huge upheaval.

We’re all technically waiting for this event. Some of us at the levers need to hurry the fuck up.

Yup. All the spergs were left behind on Reddit, continuing to drink from the chocolate fondue fountain. ;)

That’s easy. It’s a society, just in collapse.

Collapses don’t occur overnight, they happen slowly and painfully through methods you’ve described above.

Dang, Chrome is everywhere these days

Try Iceraven, the fork of Firefox.

There’s also Opera.

That sounds like a relatively new feature.

The last time I tried Tinder (Tindr, straight people Grindr), it made me both give up on online dating and lose a bit of faith in humanity.

I’ve rarely been the victim of online harassment or trolling but holy hell - being an attractive woman on Tindr? Absolute win. Pretty much easy mode on any dating site in general.

Being an attractive man of the same caliber? Yeeehck. Holy shit, some people have absolutely miniscule egos and more time than proper sense. I won’t share personal incidents or examples here because I’d rather just forget and leave it all in the past.

I went right back to traditional meat-space and in-the-flesh dating. Fuck this noise about online profiles and photography. Let your neighbors find out who you are on their own terms, don’t shout it at them from the rooftops.

I ended up “settling” (not my opinion) on a girl with a golden soul that I met traditionally, through a friend of a friend. She’s not the best looker, but if the algorithm works as you say, I’d never have even met her, which is a shame. We’ve been together for eight years now, and I still adore her.

So yeah, in summary, fuck Tindr.
