Aa!

Starcraft isn’t too hard. Play the single player campaign.

If you’re smart, you’ll avoid the multiplayer scene entirely. It’s the players that make it not fun. The game itself is pretty great.

Play with friends you know, don’t get into it with random assholes on the Internet. They ruin the fun of every game once a “professional” scene pops up

I’ve been watching a lot of programs from the 60s and 70s lately, and Columbo is a great one. There’s something so calming and disarming about the entire tone of the show, which Peter Falk fits perfectly into.

It’s interesting, because after you’ve watched a few episodes, it becomes a great “background” show, with its low intensity. But if you’re paying attention to it, despite the recurring themes each episode, they change things up enough that it doesn’t get old like some shows from the period can be prone to do.

I’m not sure they could pull off the same vibe of a show quite as successfully today, but that’s not so bad because there’s so much existing material to go back and watch.

It’s available on Prime video for anyone who’s looking to give it a try

Feel free to live in a fantasy world, but things aren’t as black and white as you want to believe

I am aware that Lemmy hates nuance, but that doesn’t change the facts.

Roseanne Barr worked with Tom Werner to create an agreement that would allow them to create the spinoff and save 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew, without Barr’s financial participation.

It seems like with most social media, people just jack themselves off to any opportunity to put their political opinion online as if they’re someone influential or something.

It’s fucking annoying. A bunch of dipshits with a megaphone

This is true of social media, whether it’s about politics or not. People are just trying to get an audience

Might be unpopular, but she wasn’t bad for the show in any direct way. It’s an ensemble show, and she was very funny in it alongside the rest of the cast

Obviously what she said outside the show was unacceptable and she had to be fired. And she’s said a lot more stupid things since.

But credit where credit is due, she handled being fired in the best way, pushing to ensure the show and remaining cast could keep going. I at least respect her actions, even if I can’t respect her for what she says publicly about political issues

What exactly are they arguing over? I probably shouldn’t ask, but I’ve been fortunate enough to not encounter any of this controversy on my social media

I was laid off this year. I’m a 25 year veteran programmer, and not to brag in the sea of tech folks we have here, but I am rather proud of my skills I have picked up over the years.

My first interview this year, they set up an online development environment and had me solve a fairly simple array sort problem, and I completely choked. Something about being watched and judged while I worked broke my brain.

I managed to ace my next interview, but they didn’t bother with the programming exercise at all.

For me it’s because I don’t use YouTube for that. I don’t watch channels or personalities. If I go to YouTube, I’m there searching for something specific.

And when I find the video that shows me how to open my key fob to replace the battery, I’m not interested in a series of key fob videos. If I watch a video related to a news story, I’m not interested in all the reaction videos or analyses by people who don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m most certainly not interested in any other video with a thumbnail of someone with their mouth agape at something

I don’t want it suggesting more of them, and I certainly don’t want it automatically advancing to some other video after it’s done. All I want is a video host that plays the videos I asked to watch. Everything else is just a reminder that the kind of videos they push are the exact kinds of videos I don’t want to watch.

They get in the way, they draw attention to the wrong things, and they encourage people to make more of the kinds of videos that get in the way of finding the actual useful information
