See, that’s the thing. You’ve also been in the dev role and not just a manager or only mostly a manager. Good manager have background in or at least understanding of the thing they’re managing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify: "Adjusting Our Spotify Premium Prices"English
2·2 years agoI guess Spotify could (and arguably should) add a feature to scan your device for the file, instead of you having to go add it manually. Is that what you meant? Because you comment comes across as you wanting the song to somehow be available on all of your devices despite you having it on only one…

65·2 years agoIf a raise of one dollar is that big of a deal, you probably couldn’t afford spotify to begin with.
This is a jab at Muskrat and his rebranding of the birdshite, I mean site, to X…

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
11·2 years agoAre you sure you replied to the right person? I was condemning the “enlightened” centrism and the idiot I responded to. I think anyone who goes “but both sides” is almost always a blithering idiot.

World News@lemmy.world•[In Helsinki, Finland] Thousands march in antiracist protest against government, call for [far-right minister] Riikka Purra resignationEnglish
26·2 years agoRiikka Purra made some pretty racist remarks (such as saying if she had a gun on a local train, there would be bodies, referring to immigrants) like fifteen years ago that have resurfaced, at first she wasn’t going to apologize, then she did give a non-apology apology… and it’s unlikely that her opinions have changed much, she’s just learned not to blather about them publicly…

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Brave Fencer Musashi for PS1 is an unusual Squaresoft title that will stick with youEnglish
4·2 years agoGiven the recent string of new remakes being announced, and how Square has been re-releasing updated versions of their old games for modern platforms, I wonder if this will get at least the latter soon.
Or that use old machines because they work and their entire workflow is based on it. Like, I remember someone (might have been LGR… it was some retro computing youtuber at least) mention that they knew a print shop or something that was still using like win98 or 2000 for their entire production (as in, handling the printing, setting the size etc.) and maybe even the sales terminal…
And I’ve read horror stories of places like machining shops running their cnc setup off of a win98 machine because the cnc router or whatever it’s called just won’t work over anything but parallel port, or that the software needed for that specific router doesn’t run on newer machines.

politics @lemmy.world•Rioter who hurled bow like a spear at police during Jan. 6 attack gets more than 7 years in prisonEnglish
3·2 years agoI’m not defending the US police, like I said ACAB. But most if not all of these rioters also deserve to feel the might of the judges hammer for their actions, so yes, assholes all around.
I’m Finnish and haven’t even ever visited the US, so in that regard I have no horse in this race. But, Trumpers and their ilk are a detriment to what passes as a peaceful and lawful society in the US, and Jan Sixers even more so. While I don’t wish most Trumpers harm, and instead wish that they’d somehow manage to grow a functional brain, there is no saving the Jan Sixers, so I wish upon them the full might of the law for their actions. Especially because it seems that certain right wingers in Europe, Finland included, seem to either look up to Trump or at least view him as an useful idiot and something of a guidebook on how to weasel their way into power.
Finland recently elected a rather right winged government, but thankfully the majority party is Kokoomus, who are more of the economic right and thus are hampered by the other parties, like Perussuomalaiset who are a right-wing populist party, that they have to form a government with. So it seems kinda hopeful that they won’t be able to screw up too badly, though compared to the previous government, this might be an upgrade in some regards…
So, yeah, to sum this up, fuck the american cops and also fuck the rioters. There is no “lesser evil” to choose from here, just two different flavors of evil and shit.

Because back in the olden days you could just hold down the physical power button to force a phone to shut down, same as you can do on computers still. This bypasses the frozen software and forces the phone to shut down so you can reboot it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I feel sorry for men who have to wear pants
32·2 years agoIt’s not like OP is saying you have to wear a skirt, just that they personally feel bad for men who have to wear pants. No one is forcing you to wear a skirt, lol.
This is just such an odd comment to me.

4·2 years agoPorn may have been one factor, but the bad recording times on beta are what really killed it. Here is a series of four videos detailing the differences between beta and VHS. And there was plenty of porn available on the beta.

This is nothing new, just different words being coded.
