The great thing from their perspective is that even if they can't make you be onsite, you can still have to work on snow days.
I really like that cd command. :P
And I mean, there's still time now. Switching browsers isn't that bad. Export+import some bookmarks and adjust some settings, good to go.
I think FF has been a good option for a while. But the second best time is now. I can totally get it if people didn't want to switch until they had more of a concrete problem.
Just like Reddit's changes last year, seems like a clear and reasonaly expected consequence of the 'our text is so valuable because AI' idea.
The web will probably continue to become more gated and more fragmented as a result of that, plus trying to get more control to force ads.
Letting rage take over is not the right path, never is. Give yourself a little time and space to cool off. (Not to diminish that the situation sucks. It sounds terrible and I'm sorry for that.)
However, if you're not happy at work, looking for a new place is the thing to do. Update your resume, and take your time to find a new job. Importantly, don't quit voluntarily until after you find something else. Don't get ahead of yourself.
The website https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ helps surface these, and let's you filter out based on different things.
One that I like in particular is Gauguin. It's a Sudoku-like with different math-y rules.
Anuto TD is a tower defense game that is also really good, but not so low stress.
Lichess, if you're into Chess. It's a great, no compromise, high quality app. Stressful if you get too worked up about competitive, but puzzles are at least relaxing.
Yeah, somewhat agree.
It's great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn't had a game in 15 years.
But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.
Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn't expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.
Well said. Within the existing framework of copyright law, the emergency open library thing that got them sued seems obviously illegal, despite it being a good thing. What's good and what's legal don't always line up.
The Internet Archive's work is too important. The library portion (that does controlled digital lending of published books) is nice, but I wouldn't be too hurt if it goes down. Regular public libraries can fill a lot of that role. But the archive itself is incredible, and losing that would be a huge shame.
Legally, I don't know that admitting fault and saying sorry does much good, but it certainly isn't surprising that they got into hot water here.
Nice! This is the one thing in other browsers that I wish I had in Firefox.
Not really federated so far, right? They talk a lot about being open, but (when) will they be really? Can I sign up for an account that intereacts with Bluesky through any other provider?
I mean, I signed up, it seems interesting enough. If nothing else it has some recognizable accounts to follow, better network effect than Mastodon.
Generally I read HackerNews and Lemmy communities like this one. Once in a while interesting projects will get highlighted.
But for the most part, once I identify a need, I'll look through alternativeto.net and see what the popular open source options are.
Makes me think of high-score runs, mainly in arcade games. Have to play for a long time, and eventually you get stopped by a kill screen.
