  • If you're on Android, you could also set up a work profile and run the VPN with a different connection, and have 3 there.

  • Dread Delusion 1.0 Release Date Trailer
  • I really enjoyed this so much more than I expected to, and was so disappointed when I hit the point the that they had developed up to.

    It's not a perfect game, has a few flaws I found, but the worldbuilding was somethign special. Excited for this.

  • How do I not stop feeling like I am doing nothing outside work?
  • You're not wrong, and I can't believe how spot on you are. I do enjoy dev, and it is something I do in my spare time, I did break the family computer by tinkering and Dad did tell me not to do it again, and I'm still chasing that excitement of the "Mr. T" calculator app I wrote in Haskell 15 years ago.

    I think I just want my job to be just a job the days, instead of this pressure to keep growing, learning the latest tech and keeping up with changes, and then needing to have a portfolio or personal projects to show that I'm still capable.

    Maybe I'm just feeling this way at the moment because I'm job searching and it's so disparaging to be asked what favourite blogs are or the link to my portfolio website or github, or my favourite new feature of language X, and I just think I'm not that person. I've tried reading the books in my spare time and setting up an AWS dev account, but I just don't care.

    Sorry, I just think your post set something off in me about how weird it is that we make this expectation of ourselves only in this industry it seems, and I think the pressure might be a bit unproductive at times.

  • Rebel Wilson Claims a British Royal Family Member Invited Her to a Drug & Orgy Party
  • When you list it out like that, it seems kind of obvious.

  • How do I not stop feeling like I am doing nothing outside work?
  • Why do we devs have this weird need to do our jobs in our free time. We put this weird career specific cultural pressure for some reason.

    Do other careers have this need to do work in your free time? You don't see brick layers itching to work on building a little house on the side, or lawyers just looking for a case to practice on.

    Why is it just devs?

  • Nintendo Forcing Garry's Mod To Delete 20 Years' Worth Of Content
  • How many of those games are suitable for kids 5 and under really..?

  • Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?

  • it tastes better when you cut it into triangles and it sounds better as an AMV

  • Mongolian. Like the barbecue.
  • Its not pronounced randevou though, more like ron-day-voo

  • Mongolian. Like the barbecue.
  • Literally said how its spelt though? Am I missing something?

  • Concerns about lemmy.world
  • Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We're seemingly back now though.

    There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they're not super present. We have two other admins but they're restricted in what they can do (don't have access to the server itself I think?, can't upgrade).

    A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It's been put in hold while they iron some things out.

    It's not an "official" replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it's another UK instance.

  • Sometimes hearing other peoples opinions can spoil something for you. I'm kind of glad I've never found any online communities based around Xanth now, because that's never even crossed my mind, and I'm sure there are many others that would do the same, where it's just some fun, silly story books from my childhood for now.

  • I remember the character, but I mostly read ones that happened after him (the series spans multiple generations).

    I think his name began with a B. I may try to dig through them and find the name of the book.

  • I came here to say both of these for the same reasons.

    I read them both after reading some people saying they changed their lives on reddit. Siddhartha had some effect on my I still can't pin down, bit changed how I looked at my life.
