Oh, somehow I read over the “and commonwealth” part of the title

I hadn’t actually realised this was a uniquely Canadian thing

Hey OP you seem like AI yourself so I’m curious to know you feel about this

Hey, the next quarter’s profits is all that matters, eh?

I think its the opposite in that only dicks go into upper management

You might be able to ship a codebase quicker but once it hits a certain level of complexity, you’ll have a codebase that no single human being on your team really understands. You’ll now be forever tied to an ever increasing AI subscription cost

Maybe its less of a thing now? I had the same experience as the other commenter where every random cheap laptop had a touchscreen but it was back in the Windows 8 era

Most modern games are built on engines written in C++ but game development is usually done in languages like C# on top of those engines, no? Unless you’re doing engine development you probably won’t be touching C++

I could be wrong since I’m in software and not games but that seems to be the way

I think my desktop wallpaper used to be that kitten pic but with Minecraft creepers instead

Newgrounds is down for maintenance! Status 2026-10-28 18:06 UTC We’re waiting on a drive replacement that’s taking longer than expected. We will hopefully be back up soon.

Newgrounds seems to be down right now but I’m kind of surprised a single drive can take out the site. Is it all hosted on a single server node?

I don’t think thats fair at all. I’m not spiritual in the least and neither is my wife but she just finds it fun and enjoys the occult witchy vibes to it and will do tarrot readings with another friend of ours sometimes. The art on most cards are also usually really nice so sets of cards can just be fun to collect

God damn it every government agency on earth needs to switch away from Microsoft and any other US tech

I don’t get Louisiana being red at all. I guess New Orleans is kind of a bubble but from a foreign perspective, it seems like such a beautiful fun city that I would have guessed would lean left

I love Immich and use it as my primary backup but I had been using Google Photos as my secondary backup (partially out of laziness to find a new offsite backup). Are there any other cheap photo hosts?

Kijiji is pretty good too but it might only be in Canada?

Yeah, that’s the reason I was actually excited to be diagnosed with celiac even though I hate nothing more than having it. It sucks going like 15 years with severe issues but nobody being able to figure out what’s causing it

Guessing the password based on a recognised pattern is absolutely hacking. There’s not really a difficulty minimum to the term hacking

Yeah… My company blocks the ability to install extensions so no ad blocking. I can’t even use my DNS adblocker when working from home since the computer can only be online using the company VPN

It’s been kind of absurd seeing what the internet looks like without an adblocker and I don’t understand why anyone would choose not to use one

What’s the ask here?

I hate that even though Canada is so well liked, it doesn’t really help much when travelling since people just assume we’re fucking Americans. Even more so because of Americans pretending to be Canadians
