Creature? Mirelurks in the dark, those things are sneaky little shelly bois and have spooked me on more than one occasion.

NPC? Cook-Cook. The absolute worst of humanity and satisfying as fuck to destroy.

I still love the term Kami-Kwasi.

What a day that was. It would almost be funny if it wasn’t still fucking with people’s mortgage rates.

My view from across the pond is that is bad enough that 30%ish of the country voted for this - but the 40% of non-voters (let’s knock 10% off for people who are unable to vote through injury, commitments, or mental capacity or whatever) don’t care enough to vote against it.

It leaves 60% of the country who are at least okay with how it’s all working out. Frightening.

Positive development cycle, nice dev, and decent features on Android.

95 was an innovator if anything, ahead of pretty much anything else on desktop at the time, even if it DID fart and die whenever someone looked at it funny.

com/com 😂

Oh I don’t know, he’s already in Newport hiyoooooooooooo

I’ve read through a few of your replies, and they generally contain a “so, …” and a generally inaccurate summary of what the conversation thread is about. I don’t know whether there’s a language barrier here or you’re being deliberately obtuse.

It would appear to be that your desire for a community without moderators is so strong, that a platform like Lemmy is not suitable for what you want, and as such you are likely not going to find the answer you want here and spend your time arguing against the flow.

Good luck finding what you’re looking for 👍

Make a reliable way to automate that, and you’ll make a lot of money.

Rely on doing it for yourself, and… well good luck with the mental health in a few years time.

I’ve met my fair share of cockwombles in my time - the public-facing element of some of my jobs and roles have guaranteed that - but I’ve never met anyone truly evil.

I’ve met a dude who was more than pleasant, respectable background, good laugh… who later turned out to be peddling kiddie porn, and got caught a second time after being released from prison so yeah fuck that guy.

I’ve met the one of the nicest guys in the world - fit guy for his age in his late fifties, had a way of connecting with you in the first five minutes and leaving every conversation feel positive, and generally an all round cracking fella… only to get hit with cancer before he was 60. So no, I guess he absolutely did not deserve that.

Unfortunately, there’s more instances of people getting away with real shitty behaviour than there is of satisfying instances of karma biting them in the arse.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Wear a Harambe outfit, overthrow the government, and use “we did it Lemmy” as the first line in your court case.

nice

Specifically, process niceness - a very basic view is how “nice” a process is at handing over control to the CPU scheduler when asked to.

It’s a similar situation as when your mam (the scheduler) tells you to give up the SNES (the process) because you (the CPU) need to do the homework (another process), the dishwasher (another process) and the bins (another process) - but the SNES is saying “just thirty more seconds bro, and the boss will be done”.

edit: in context, these function keys manually force the niceness value up or down, determining whether the process allows you to finish the boss and give up the CPU at a more appropriate time, or whether the scheduler is like “nah absolutely not, homework, now”.

edit edit: my assumption is that this is a process manager app anyway, else the rest of the above is bollocks

We’re across the water from you in the UK. I understand your predicament and agree on the ick factor, but your country has chosen the lesser of two evils.

The amount of oil and gas coming in to the UK is declining, but it is still a vast volume - and since the 1970s, it has seen billions (maybe trillions or another scale higher?) of pounds worth flow through the UK.

The problem is, it goes through the UK, and doesn’t stop here.

Aberdeen, Hull, Milford Haven, Norwich… all towns that have seen money that is exponentially times larger than their tax incomes flow through, and all of which have little to show for it. It’s made us look like mugs, and all the money has flowed out to the US, the middle east, or other firms based in rando countries for tax reasons shareholder benefits.

The Norway model with their sovereign wealth fund may be ethically questionable, but fuck me I personally wished we followed your lead in the 70s while we had the chance.

Time to suggest a coffee and a piss stop, and furiously Google “one day car insurance policies” I think.

That, or make sure your life insurance policy is in order and text your partner “enjoy the free house!”

It would be quite something.

“Hello Mr so-and-so, you’re married to a paeeeedoooooooooo*”

*depending on jurisdiction, of course

Not really.

You make some points I agree with, you make some points I’m neutral on, and you make some points I disagree with.

In nearly all cases though, you appear to take an insular view which comes across as confrontational and adds little to the discussion but a sour taste.

It’s pointless discussing a topic with you when you either take a deep rooted view with no opportunity for open discussion, and/or take a childish “I told you so” position when hearing a dissenting view.

That’s likely why you are getting downvotes. Other views may apply.

Good luck.

When I joined the workforce full time a good number of years ago. I was chuffed to fuck to be earning £20k a year at the time. In the intervening years, the cost of living has gotten ludicrous.

In metropolitan areas, I’m not quite sure how anyone but the DINKys can cope with the financial pressures of city living.
