@clacke This will always remind me that since I started my current position in 2014, I received $10,000 in company shares annually, vested in three years as part of their “Long-Term Employee Incentive Plan”. I checked recently and all these shares are worth about $25,000 now. I’d have been better off with a yearly $10,000 bonus instead. Two mergers and several layoffs later, the stock price still hasn’t recovered.

hypoliteI’m happy to report that yesterday the first informal tenant meet & greet was held in my 50-apartment Brooklyn building. Organized on Discord after an agressive recruitment campaign from the server creator including putting QR codes in the trash closets on each residential floor. It was nice, 9 people showed up, it was nice to put faces on names I’d seen on Discord or in the package closet.
@vegos_f06 I don’t know, patterns work better with positive assertions, and what you asked is hard to formalize into a positive assertion. What I suggested to you wouldn’t match “@veganism.com”, but only because it’s “veganism”, as “@vegan.com” or “vegan@example.com” would be match and result in a collapsed post.
@vegos_f06 In the replies, the post text includes the handle (either in the raw BBCode or in the HTML profile link), so it is scanned alright.
I’d rather not introduce exceptions in the NSFW addon as it is meant to be as simple as possible. For more specific uses, please use the Advanced Filter Addon where you can define regular expressions. In this case, you’d want “vegan” to be its own word, which wouldn’t match “veganism”.
@bobjonkman Please, cable TV pioneered subscription services full of ads way before Internet. It’s the evergreen “Why not both?” of broadcast media financing.
@jplebreton I do admit Windows is looking worse and to me who’s never used anything else in a desktop or laptop but I am also weary of jumping from the Microsoft ecosystem to the Valve ecosystem. It looks possible to me that Valve’s goodwill so far may be tied to the person of Gabe Newell, and that his inevitable departure will make Valve change course from their benevolent quasi-monopoly.
In particular, there are several unanswered questions for me about SteamOS: what about my Epic games (that I all got for free, but still), what about my itch.io games? GOG? I haven’t looked too much into it yet but I’m dreading either the curt answer (not possible on SteamOS), the convoluted answer (run 5-6 separate pieces of software to enable compatibility) or worse, an answer depending on each game.
“No, flip it so that people can read it from the outside” “Ah, ok”
This is the only scenario that makes sense to me for this Halloween sticker to end up so wrongly placed on the glass door of a real estate agency office in my neighborhood.
