  • When applying for my current job, one of the things I could honesly say was that I would probably continue working the position even if I had no need for the monetary incentive. And to be honest, if someone decided to pay all my expenses for the rest of my life, I’d rather be in my current position, rather than do nothing instead.

    That is what working SHOULD be about.




  • I mean that Denuvo WILL cause performance drops, and if said malware needs to be cracked and removed in order to emulate it, it means the emulators don’t have to bother emulating the built-in malware, and can instead use more resources to run the game. Even better than currently.

    And will any of this help with piracy? Well, the average user will no longer be able to backup the official version, and you’d be breaking the law anyways, if you cracked it, so there is “no extra harm” skipping the part where you buy the official version, instead of just downloading the already cracked version. Sure, you risk getting malware, but with the official one you are sure to get malware.

    [EDIT]: Let’s add: I don’t advocate for piracy, but if piracy is more convinient that the official route, it’s what will drive those who don’t mond pirating stuff.

    Well, according to the legend, by Ovid, she most likely is. She is described as a fair haired maiden, which results Poseidon forcim himself upon her in the temple of Pallas Athene, and therefore Athene punished Medusa by making her hair venomous snakes, and her gaze to turn people to stone.

    She was genuinely a victim, and had all the reason for defending heeself, while probably being more kind than any other character mentioned in association with her. Hell, the reason she was killed was that some dude didn’t have a horse to give to another dude, so he sent his son to get medusas help. And then that kid had divine aid for killing Medusa, who up to this point has been nothing but a victim for the entertainment of gods.


  • To be fair, the skincolour technically does two jobs; while darker skin protects you better from sunburn, the lighter skin also absorbs vitamin D from the light (and darker skin also protects ou from getting too much of that D). That is why the skincolour gets lighter, the more north you go, as the sun does not provide as much said vitamin.

    Why am I mentioning this, well, the traditional bane of nordic hemisphere people is depression due to the lack of said vitamin D, during the time the sun just don’t come up, so if anyone with a darker skintone migrates here: remenber to supplement that extra D, because even the pale snowpeople have issues getting enough naturally.






  • There is nothing wrong with politicans using mastodon, and they will start using it when ex-twitter statistically show losing popularity. However, the same rules apply for the politicans, as does anyone else. That’s why they’ll probably start creating their own instances for their parties. And luckily people can decide to not to follow them (god I hated twitter when there was any local, or American voting going on. The promotional spam was unhinged).



  • Yeah, they do, but theu’re not as readily available as one would think. They also don’t advertise this possibility, if they even take such jobs (Many don’t like to take on your standard wallmart jeans etc. for one reason or another). On top of that, I’d imagine that they’d take surprisingly large sums from such “extraordinarily custom modifications”.

    What I’m proposing is specializing your sidehustle to this “one trick pony”, that is basically just making people realize that fake pokets can be turned in to a real pocket. This would provide a seamsperson quick small jobs as long as fake pockets are being made. And judging by the fashion industry, it will be a long time before they realize that those pockets don’t need to be fake.

    This is more of “call to arms” to “fight the power”.


  • To this day, I have no idea why there isn’t a local service to mod deeper pockets in women’s clothing. If I was a proper tailor, I’d probably start such service myself, but every time I openly mention that such service would probably be profitable, everybody goes “Yeah, I’d be using that service”, but never anyone who can actually do the job, rises to the ocasion and starts a bussines.

    So if you’re reading this, and can handle your needle and thread, here’s a bussiness idea: take a small fee to cut open, and expand pockets in clothes there have fake pockets.




  • To be fair, I don’t mind the button itself, if it worked as I wanted it to, and could be changed to load from oldest to new, and sustain your scrolling position. But as they do now, you can sustain your position by fiddling with the loading, and you need to load everything to get back to scrolling if you want to read from oldest to newest.

    This button was basically designed for people that sort only by popular, but I think I’m not the onlyone who prefers not to have their microblogs pre-curated by popularity, and I really hate it when I am forced to miss posts just because of the general design practices that are designed for commercialized services.

    And as I said in another post, the “trending” -statistics of Mastodon is just a peak, and then forgotten. I have my suspicion that it’s because people do not sort by popular, and by end up missing the stuff that has trended, because design choises like the funcrionality of this button. Surely, the other element is the trending algorithm, and how it is pushed, but that’s a whilly different can of worms to open.


  • I feel these ecmxist precisely because endless scrolling doesn’t. These load more, but I’m not sure the apps ever unload, so for the optiomization I understand why they have implemented this as they have BUT for me that way is just an excuse to be lazy with garbage cleaning. And these also might be one of the biggest reasons why the trending stuff doesn’t stick on Mastodon; Mastodon users don’t sort by popular, and while scrolling by chronological order, these things create obstacles for seeing all things posted.
