As an Ex BioWare and EA employee of 13 years, I can certainly tell you, Maxis and BioWare are separate studios with separate decisions. EA does own them but the decision is not related. I can say, however, EA sets the bar way too damn high. I'm just waiting for it to bite them in the ass. I feel like it's already started.

What's the difference between an "untruth" and a lie? Aren't they the same?

I mean honestly, if you're worried, I'd root the device and install a custom ROM that is privacy focused.

I wonder if they are complying with the Texas law of no unsolicited nude images? I, myself, uninstalled it, but if you're curious, here's the law

Seedbox Reqs (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So, I used to have my own VPS and utilize saltbox to roll my own seedbox, but I just can't afford that anymore (could have been my specs, but I was paying like 30-35/mo).

I have used whatbox way back in the day, before my VPS, and it was good.

I'm looking for an adequate seedbox. I'm mostly a Usenet person. I'm very familiar with Linux from terminal.

What do you guys use, other than a VPS and a local NAS. Thanks!

update0: Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I'll update once again on what I go with! Much love to the advice!

Maybe it's nutria? They're invasive and Louisiana incentives people to hunt them. Maybe that's what it is? Very beaver like. Lol

I believe this might fit your use. https://onedev.io/ it's open source as per here: https://github.com/theonedev/onedev When I worked for BioWare for ten years (EA for 13) we used a very awesome product called QuickBuild (Build system, Jenkins is trash. QB is based on Hudson) made by them, pmease. Robin Shine is the dev and he's really cool, very responsive. Check it out, they make good stuff.

This is perfect if you're going the kanban route, which is arguably sufficient. It's nice that they have different deployments and a demo.

Chile Pequin (Capsicum annuum)
It's native where I live. You can find them growing in people's yards. Super spicy, birds love em.

Pepper plants are resilient af. I had a 10 yo pepper plant in a pot that i COULD HAVE SWORN i killed because... I was dating a guy.. and was over at his place a lot .. and didn't water it enough... Anyway this thing was dead, but i was heartbroken I had lost sight of my true love (lol) and watered a dead plant for at least a month and it amazingly survived. It took a year off from pepper production, but this year it's in full bloom. Here's a picture of this 13 year old beast of a plant:

I also love this game. It's just fun to play.

I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I'm sure it will theirs.

I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.

As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it's original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.

I, switched from Google FI because of lack of customer support and services that were getting less and less, but more costly and costly. I went to T-Mobile. Good service, much the same as Google fi is a first party mvno. Anyway I use a private dns. NextDns. T-Mobile had no clue what a dns was and the super had to Google it. They SEVERELY THROTTLE if you use next dns.

I HATE THAT. What do you use as privacy conscious individuals?

edit: not that! What

So I'm pivoting away from tech, which makes money but I find incredibly soul sucking, into service. There's a super delicious, slightly upscale ramen joint right next to my apartment building. I saw they posted something on poached looking for line cooks. I took in my resume and told the guy my story and he offered me a stage. I'm super excited, nervous, and scared, but in a good way.

I feel honored and humbled. He told me to wear black, wear restaurant shoes and bring my knife. I have a week. (Oh by the way i got laid off from EA).

So I intend on getting a victorinox knife and damn, figuring it out. (My current knife is really uncomfortable and i just moved in with my partner who's a FOH manager at a local seafood place). I cook a lot and love it, love this place and specialize in asian cooking. I've worked in a kitchen before but it's been 13 years.

Anyway a long story long, anyone have any advice?

Also mods, if this is the wrong place for this, please delete it. I looked but didn't find another place.

Update: i got the job! They had me do lots of prep, green onions, white onions, arugula, trained me on the line. It was only 4 hours then the Chef offered me the job! Woohoo! He said my knife cuts were nice! Lol

Edit: i hate the job. I went down to 2 days and got a new job. The people i work with are unprofessional and think they are the shit. It's annoying. Lol NEXT
