Heheh, stupid pillow.
Heheh, stupid pillow.
It is very doable.
Take a look at https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun - it’s what I use for this.
Getting flip flopped around like that on a timescale of weeks fucking sucks (I’ve been in that situation but not in game dev).
Just… being totally used and owned by an executive team that simultaneously wants to harness/abuse your passion, while also callously making snap judgements like this without any regard for respecting their people… it’s like “how to destroy morale 101”
That’s really moving, OP. I’ve had similar feelings before, discovering (or merely even noticing) the finished result of someone’s labor of love - someone who was no longer in the world.
My grandfather’s homelab and media setup was, and timelessly now is (since I backed up disk images of some of his computers) like this to me. Despite my years of my own joyous tinkering, in many ways his setup still eclipses mine. “Self hosting” wasn’t really a thing yet when he was doing all this, since we hadn’t yet moved to a highly web-centric, SAAS-dominated world, but he’d have been super into it. What’s left of his computers are now quietly falling into disrepair. But at least I have some of the data. He’s been gone over a decade, still miss him.
Nah it’s “hehe his handle sounds like bussy”
The real “hate” here is anti-GNOME developer hate lol
And my axe!
I use it on both my iPhone and my GrapheneOS phone. Great on both.
Fun fact: some cats practice zen meditation
Hnggg crenellations
Yea, this was a common occurrence when I used to rely on PayPal bank transfer. Apparently individual merchants can decide whether to accept it or not.
Yep. My cat yells at me to leave my home office at the same time every day. Helping me keep that work life balance
And it’s your fault if it happens to you, because we sent you EMAILS telling you it was going to happen!
Yeah, I figured as much.
What a big brain move from their support team, lol
It’s bad enough when these companies are monopolistic and malicious. But monopolistic, malicious AND incompetent - argh, it’s just too much.
I lost my Minecraft account to this, but that’s because the email address I bought the game with was with Lavabit, and thus never was able to receive any of the emails. Couldn’t verify I owned it either because again, no access to the email address.
I was just a kid when I signed up for that Lavabit address sometime in the 2000s, a kid who was vaguely interested in the idea of privacy and software freedom (I used PPC Ubuntu on a G3 iBook btw). Bought Minecraft Alpha in 2010 for €10. Now because of time passing and some bullshit happening I don’t have access to any of it.
But tbh I never opened a support ticket or anything, because fuck Microsoft. Its the principle of the whole thing
Microsoft and Apple are both privacy-disregarding monopolistic megacorporations. The difference is Microsoft is slowly degrading in competence and their PR machine is no longer able to compensate
He needs a little hard hat
That was a good game, I used to destroy everyone at local split screen
Hopefully one day they remaster it in high refresh rate, 4K, on PC… but I’m dreaming, that’ll never happen
It does seem unlikely that, regardless of interest in playing the instrument, sales would’ve done anything but slumped in recent decades. Can’t really envision buying brand new guitars being a high priority for young people who are seemingly worse and worse off over time
That would be cool.
I guess my AMD Bulldozer TV PC is gonna have to go in the ewaste bin though. Its already stretched to its limit running Linux Mint, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock as it is
wholesome 100
I think at this point maybe Embracer should try replacing Lars Wingefors with ChatGPT instead
