Ah could be hardware/OS, yeah. I believe everyone at our company are on MacBooks (I’m a Linux guy myself, but orgs don’t usually like that).

My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and while I like it for various reasons, it has had plenty of problems with the built-in mic and video (mostly the mic). So it very well could be that.

We have like 250, mostly remote and on Slack all the time. There’s the occasional hiccup here and there, but generally it’s pretty seamless.

I’ve personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.

Probably.

It’s delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

I was born in 1990. Fully a '90s kid.

I was born in 1990 and remember lots of stuff.

There won’t be a next time. Congratulations, shit stain. You get to pay yourself on the back for your “morals” while the country burns to the ground.

I say “morals” because fucking obviously the moral thing to do is prevent Nazi Germany 2.0 from happening. But no. You get to pretend like you’re a good person. But you’re not. You let fascists take control and countless people will die at the hand of non-voters like you. You and everyone like you are deplorable in every sense of the word and you have no right to claim moral superiority.

Hundreds of thousands did die, fuckwad. Trump is directly responsible for the countless deaths from COVID.

How is that pronounced? wow-wow-rohn?

Anarchism is not chaos, which is what it seems like you think it means. Anarchism is the opposition to hierarchy and is thus directly opposed to fascism and therefore Trump. No anarchist wants to see Trump win because it means fascism has won.

In Nebraska, I get my ballot by mail way in advance. I fill it out at my leisure, doing research on candidates as needed. I can then either mail the ballot back or drop it off at one of several locations around town (including any of the public libraries). I haven’t voted in person in years. This method is so much better.

Yeah our corporate machines won’t run any external media. I assumed that was standard practice.

Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing about vim/unix.

I just… Go to sleep. No noise needed.

Let’s give it a shot. I live in the suburbs of Lincoln, Nebraska, which is an average-sized college town in the US (about 300k residents):

• Nearest convenience store: 1.1 miles/1.7km (we often do walk there, takes about 20 minutes)
• Nearest chain supermarket/big supermarket (they are often one in the same here): Target @ 1.5 miles/2.4km
• Bus stop: 1.3 miles/2.1km
• Nearest park: 0.6 miles/965m
• Nearest public library: 3.5 miles/5.6km
• Nearest train station: 9.1 miles/14.6km (we don’t really use trains much at all in the US, though)

A synopsis for a great fucking movie.

I also wonder if people complaining about Jira are still on Jira Server. Jira Cloud is a much nicer experience. Certainly not perfect, but I’ve yet to see an actual viable alternative (once worked someplace that tried to move all project management to Gitlab… 🤮).

Uh, there are an absolute fuckload of Java libs out there with nothing more than auto-generated garbage Javadocs.

I dunno, plenty of those sound pretty reasonable.
