We don't have an Ask Historians yet, so I think this is the best place to ask at the moment

Let’s name the elephant in the server room: Our entire industry runs on imposter syndrome.

How it works:

  • Tech giants invent new frameworks to keep developers perpetually behind
  • Bootcamps sell “6-figure career” dreams to people who just learned what a div is
  • LinkedIn influencers post “Day 427 of #100DaysOfCode” while pretending they didn’t start yesterday
  • Recruiters demand 5 years of experience in tools that existed for 18 months

It’s not you — it’s a system designed to make you feel obsolete before your first commit.

I'd add the following: "everyone else" has more github projects and commits than you. "How much code have you done in this language" is wholly measured by what you can immediately show.

the 40-minute ads

40 fucking minutes?????

In the ads, the first frame, used as the default thumbnail on the platform, was of the make-up instructor. During the period of up to a minute where the ad displayed hardcore porn, the instructor appeared again every 15 frames, intermixed with the porn. Once the hardcore porn ad finished, a slowed-down version of the actual make-up tutorial played for approximately 40 minutes, until the end.

Oh, so that's how it worked.

They highlight the challenges the social media giant faces as it comes up against unscrupulous advertisers on its platforms.

Pffffft, there's no "challenge", facebook gets money either way. The only challenge is for the people who use fb and insta for whatever reason.

Title would be better if it began with "Not enough" = Not enough shots fired into the home of insurance CEO

Why does the artist's sig look like AI writing??

Status symbol, aka "I need to differentiate myself from those lowly serfs, lest they think themselves as equal to me!"

Which pizza parlor do you suppose they do their satanic rituals in?

The majority of Square's games from the era are some of the best they've ever put out, like Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve (1 and 2) and Threads of Fate (aka Dewprism), so they're always good choices.

Mega Man X4 is also one of the best of the X series. X5 is still good, avoid X6, it's very clear how rushed the game is once you start playing.

I'd put Jackie Chan Stuntmaster in place 25 of Die Hard Trilogy and Soul Reaver on 16 in place of Gex, though every in game cutscene of Soul Reaver is unskippable, but the voice acting is pretty much the very best of the console and holds up well even today.

Silent Bomber decidedly deserves a playthru, as does C12 Final Resistance

PS: really hard to read the "mentioned once" list, it's all a single line without commas or anything

 

I've been thinking of self hosting a mastodon (gotosocial, more specifically) + a matrix server on an old computer I have, but sometimes I might need to turn it off for 2 days or more (not to mention some energy or internet outages that might happen here)

I suppose with the mastodon part the server will properly sync and download whatever's been missing, but I'm not entirely sure that'll be the case with matrix. If anyone sent me a DM on there while my server was down, would it get through after it was back up?

 

PL continua com seu golpismo e sua defesa descarada de mentiras, falsidades e spam em conluio com as grandes empresas de informática pra garantir poder e dominação da população.

Sempre usam essa ladainha de "liberdade de expressão" pra defenderem o uso de bots e outras táticas do gabinete do ódio, dizem ser a favor de "liberdade total de expressão", mas adoraria ver eles tentando defender isso com alguém perguntando "Então os senhores são a favor de postagens pró pedofilia? Pró aborto? São a favor de golpes cibernéticos?"

 

For instance, when your team misses a super close shot at scoring, or when you lose a super tense game match by a hair.

 
 

I'm trying out a few seeds myself to see what I end up getting. My current favorite, dees1, spawns fucktons of relaxaurus in the starting area, ragnahawks, bushis and celesdirs in the areas of the Petalia and Elizabee bosses, faleris aqua and orserks in the wetlands of Grintale boss, among other interesting spawns.

What are some seeds you folks tried?

 

funny part about "Kamala campaign can't target men" is that they can't target men because they refuse to employ the crass humor needed to effectively target the kind of men they currently fail to target. They know what they have to do, they simply aren't strong enough to do it.

They lost because they won't say slurs. People are not ready for this conversation.

Hadn't thought of this before, but it makes sense. Men just won't take you seriously if you're offended by or scared of words.

Straight from one of the shittier parts of the fediverse.

The game is a very simple and all about territory control. A common complaint is exactly that it's too simple. Does anyone know about custom rules or things that can give more variety to the game, without necessarily making it too complex?
