Dammit. That is legitimately funny.

This really is a perfect example. I did a lot of MIDI things as a kid!

I mostly use mine to program. I started gaming again after barely playing them for a decade, but that is not my computer's primary purpose. Otherwise, I do dumb online browsing, play D&D with friends (used to...), fiddle around with art (mostly do that on iPad), 3d printing or electronics related things. Random shit like that.

I was thinking about that first day after. That he could be our O.J. Our Rodney. To get payback on people who are untouchable.

E! I love watching videos on it. Mark Rober's player piano was pretty cool.

I deal with this constantly. Profilers are your friend. I keep begging my team to use the database dumps from production to test with, but nope. Don't feel bad about messing up though. The amount of fuck ups I deal with in prod is exasperating. At least most of the things I break is a quick 5 minute fix and not weeks of rework.

The hardest thing I have explaining to the team is the concept of time. Once you have done controls programming and get to witness how much happens in 50-100ms, it sinks in. Your thing takes 500ms? 1 second? They think this is acceptable on something that is dealing with less than 100 database records. 😭

Watching my friends suffer through the early access has been quite amusing.

Movies nobody asked for.

Not when you are a developer trying to write code for a critical part of the system. Sucking it up isn't going to make it magically happen and it will be a mess.

I'm sorry. My brain is slow today and this needs to be done while I am fresh. We can go over it tomorrow.

I am too burnt out today.

I can't focus on that right now.

I am not functional enough for that.

I don't even make shit up and I am done with corpo speak. If they can't accept that, then they can get over it. We can discuss this like humans. If I can get you started, great, but if you want this done right, you will wait.

It wasn't so much a disagreement or me having a thin skin. I felt like they were a net-negative to a place I feel half-ass comfortable saying anything at all. I saw the patterns of behavior they had with others and I got sick of reading that shit in every damn thread. Hearing that they were given a mod position disturbs me. After spending some time with that curated out, I have had a far better experience. Not saying squid is a bad person, but the shit that gets stirred up due to him is exhausting.

I wish him the best of luck with his health issues, his daughter, and his family.

Step 1. Block flyingsquid.

That has saved my sanity and general feelings for Lemmy. Otherwise I would have quit the entire platform due to one person.
