One of the two is actually a Tesla supercharger

I don’t think so, also electric chargers of varying quality are super ubiquitous in Europe.

My little Eastern European hometown of 20k people has two stations of 8 plugs each.

The equivalent of these people did not live in commie blocks either. The people who did still live in tenements or are straight up homeless.

Communist societies not having a large middle class is a different question though.

IDK, I’ve been here a few years, the company has existed for another few.

If it starts getting uncomfy, I’ll start looking for a better one. It worked out so far.

Exclusivity is still a shitty thing. How does it make the service better for consumers?

Where in Europe does a private company do this?

GDPR explicitly outlaws it.

Good workplaces are like the after-school extracurricular classes, you go because you’re interested, it’s fun to problem-solve with people.

I have to be regularly told to go home at the end of the day.

Morrowind is definitely a looker, that art style is something Beth has never been able to approach again.

But hard agree on the VFX.

Less and less these days.

In fact, some old Windows games ran better for me on Linux than new Windows.

Screens are measured in inches

Yeah that shit is more common than people think.

A big part of the business of cloud providers is that most orgs have no idea how to do shit. Their enterprise consultants are also wildly variable in competence.

There was also a large amount of useless bullshit that I needed to cut down since being hired at my current spot, but the amount of containers is actually warranted. We do have that traffic, which is both happy and sad, since while business is booming, I have to deal with this.

I know using work as an example is cheating, but around 1400-1500 to 5000-6000 depending on load throughout the day.

At home it’s 12.

My guess is that the Google org culture breeds people who don’t care about the users of their tech one bit.

Make something that’s fun and interesting for the person making it, release, get promoted, abandon.

It’s the kind of people I tend to avoid hiring, and for a good reason. Google makes pretty much all its money from search ads, and hasn’t innovated on that in decades.

Nah, you had to use all 3. It was 3 connectors for different things.

Our codebase is a mess and I suggested putting “we are not stupid, we just work with Google” into our job ads looking for data engineers proficient with C and JRuby.

I just had someone on my team work with 3 closely related Google data libraries, basically 3 connectors for the same data churning thingy.

One was only compatible with Python, the second was only workable in C, and the third was in fucking JRuby.

Okay, but Google uses it in a way where directly going to the server they host F-Droid.apk, downloading and installing it counts as sideloading.

If anything, using Google Play is sideloading by that definition, since I can’t just download a release from the originators’ server, they need to first transfer it into a secondary location, Google’s servers, and I can only install it from there.

The people who would be okay with this already don’t own computers, they go with a phone.

IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.

Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

This day is to be remembered.

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?
