Right, as an instance admin, I’m very confident I can avoid Facebook’s mistakes. I don’t have the same motivations.

No, registers and bit-wise manipulation. In a Minecraft server running in the browser.

With enough zooming, even I can tell it’s the same profile picture. Wow.

That’s good, but you’re still the perfect of that meme where the stick figure is looking at the computer while the weather changes outside the window. By your account, that is.

Since it sounds like that’s a source of stress or unease for you, I think you could experiment with a “month of drawing” of “month of evening bike rides” or something like that. I love problem-solving and development, so it’s easy to look for that thrill outside of work too, but you may find a different thrill that gives you more variety and you also find rewarding.

In my case, I often get away from computers by going out on photo walks. Then I get home and stare at my photos on the computer. Hehe. It’s good to have that outlet all the same.

I work from home, most days, so I was doing that while staring at the same monitor and typing on the same keyboard.

After catching myself on the way to burning out, I was advised to stop working on time and go work out or take a walk - something physical to mentally change modes.

I agree with all the advice here to get a different hobby or touch grass.

I really enjoy Mini Metro. I’ve been addicted to Dots for years, it’s the very best digital fidget.

I paid for a Need for Speed game some 8 years ago and that was pretty OK for a few hours.

A Dark Room is also really good.

That’s about it, to be honest. If you want to pick up a controller, there’s a decent library of older PC or console games that run on phones now - emulators are also an option.

You can add captions to images inside text posts - those are used for alt text. You can’t add alt text to image posts though.

Trust me, I would know.

Incidentally, they’re automatically adding the subreddit and post title together for the image’s alt text, which still doesn’t include OP’s name.

You saved me a click, thanks.

Importing esthetic preferences over accessibility tells me a lot about the content…

Right, making it look like you know what you’re doing is a great way to advance to the point where you cause real damage. I’m glad you don’t have to do that, and aren’t getting trampled by the people who do.

Oh, uh. I’m wondering if I laid the irony down too thick. I think the comment you originally replied to is probably correct. I think your questions are typical escape hatches for men to be blameless in any situation. I can imagine you didn’t mean them that way, but that’s what’s usually meant by them.

You’re absolutely right. The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation. These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Irony aside, I’m sure it’s a complex situation with different relevant points to any perspective, but the events as told line up with my own experiences.

I’ve witnessed many of the kinds of situations described here and I think the proposed mechanics adequately explain them.

He grows more powerful by the day…

I can’t watch yet, but I have to know: how angry is Steve?

You need to get out more. I totally get that you would think that’s the case, but only if you’re not exploring parts of the internet outside your bubble. It’s absolutely written.

Sure, but also the broader “join my Patreon to get access to my Discord server” market. It’s actually a pretty clever move, if there’s a market for it (there is) and if it replaces more insidious revenue streams (it won’t).

[feverishly applauds]

Looks perfect to me!

It’s a very different vibe. I remember my first seg fault in C - kids days are missing out!

The cool thing to do now is to write it in Rust, only using the standard library.
