@Viss I have been working for a year, actually 15 months, to get my Google Play account reenabled.

[ranvel@hachyderm.io]

@Viss i actually had a really unusual experience with google fi support. when iOS 17 came out (september two years ago), it had a bug that made the phone download updates when carplay was enabled and my phone immediately burned through all of my data (i'm on google fi's pay-as-you-go plan).

i called apple and they told me to piss off and call google. i insisted that this was an apple issue, but eventually relented. i got in touch with google fi support and miraculously they credited my account like $25.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i don't understand it either

@Viss modding is an expression of art and creativity. Wholesale ripping assets out of the original game to insert into your mod isn't.

Do the people behind the mod have talent, sure. But IMO there are better ways to showcase it

@Viss my secrets, revealed

[viss@mastodon.social]

@neurovagrant im amused that folks are calling ai clankers now, because since starting arc raiders, there are DEFINITELY actual clankers in there, and they are powered by ai.

i hear leapers and bombadiers in my dreams now. and i heard a matriarch outside once (construction equipment?), and flinched

[viss@mastodon.social]

[viss@mastodon.social]

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Viss I played with cyrus-sasl decades ago and decided it's not for me.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@jernej__s i thankfully have not had to deal with ldap authed postfix since then, but i imagine that if there wasnt some kinda connector thats sensible and not made to torture people i would stoop to fucking writing one myself

[artlung@xoxo.zone]

@Viss but the price is... somehow lower? I am having trouble understanding precisely who and how this affects.

[winterknight1337@infosec.exchange]

@Viss I’ve got a buddy who’s in charge of his company’s CI pipeline in GitHub and he’s absolutely seething right now.

[viss@mastodon.social]

@Viss ATLASSIAN: Well, well, well, not so easy to find a source code management platform that doesn’t suck shit, huh?

[viss@mastodon.social]

@winterknight1337 the people who see just how much that shit gets used are shitting kittens.

the people who use it on their own and do not see or are not exposed to the big picture dont get what the big deal is
