I kind of felt that way at that age, in the sense that I was worried about choosing a career path and being stuck in it forever.

For me, moving away from my entire previous life in a new city far away was something I wasn't really expecting I would do, but I did and I generally feel really good about it.

At your age, and when you start living in your own place, you've got to realize that stuff isn't just going to happen for you any more, and if you want something done you are going to need to put serious effort into it. Yes, it is tough to work a full time job that leaves little time for thinking about and doing much else, for ever-decreasing pay. However, you have to make the most of it, make changes you want to see in your life. Plan things out, speak with people to see whether your ideas are sound, make decisions, act on them, taking on calculated risks and responsibilities. Then you'll find you'll be able to do what you want to a bit more.

That's a classic move when you can't even fudge your way through the Harris campaign's bait trap. Accuse the other side of -- seasonal allergies?

You actively choose not to use it but if you didn't know about such a mechanic, sometimes you might end up like this.

I'll give this much credit to Trump: he's good at telling people what they want to hear.

Next to nothing he says in that 2 hour speech is based in reality, but it appears many voters want some miracle MAGA fantasy over reality.

How about, a company offering a feature that is OPT-OUT would be responsible for the contents of that feature. That will convince companies to actually require user consent.

The plaintiff here sounds like a insufferable enough colleague to not want to write a card to, regardless of gender.

To OP and any smart coders out there: if you could implement this feature into Lemmy yourself, you could earn up to a cool €6000.

Tell me why

I never wanna hear you say

I want it as the crow flies.

1% / 35% / 64%. I like seeing what's going on in Vancouver and other Canadian cities, nationally, and the relatively active !pcgaming@lemmy.ca (primarily due to @alessandro@lemmy.ca 's news posting efforts).

When I'm done then I visit what's Hot and the top 12h on All.

The government agencies tasked to hold companies accountable for industry standards and safety, have been taking companies for their word instead of actually inspecting for far too long.

There are prolific posters and some bots that post nearly half of the content that gets popular on a particular day. Commentors I think there's a healthy mix of regulars and users I don't recognize.

I think this is due to the new California law. I wonder if there will be any carveouts for some games that let you make an offline backup, or if the Steam licensing scheme means that all products offered on Steam are licensed.

 

Hey everyone, just a reminder in case you hadn't seen it or forgot from months ago, the Canadian official e-petition is at this link as part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign. Maybe we can get some clarity from our government on what our rights as consumers are when buying access to video games.

Signature collection ends at 9:30am ET/6:30am PT on Thursday 5 Sept 2024.

 

I figured that right to repair is a topic many of us are interested in. The survey below by ISED Canada, a department of the Government of Canada, is open until September 26, 2024.

Canadians can provide their input at the following link: https://ised-isde.survey-sondage.ca/f/s/RTR

 

Some Lemmy user at one point had asked about a "multi-paste" feature, if there was a way to use keyboard shortcuts to display multiple clipboard items and copy/paste them out at will (this user mentioned similar to RTS games they like to play). ~~If someone can find that post, can you notify them and direct them here, please? I'm having trouble locating it but I recollect that it was within the last 3 months.~~ Edit: I found the post!

Somehow this was stuck in my mind when I accidentally pressed a keyboard shortcut, that showed my last 5 copied items. This isn't exactly what the user was looking for but I thought I'd publicize it here.

If you use Fcitx (because you need multi-language input) from the fcitx5 packages, then you may already have installed the clipboard add-on. You can use fcitx with just one keyboard layout. By default, it's activated by Ctrl+semicolon and shows the 5 last entries, but the number can be configured.

CN and CPKC locked out employees across Canada on Thursday 22 Aug 2024, due to a labour dispute between them and Teamsters Canada Rail Conference.

 

The edition is called: "Take The A Train 9 Version 5.0 Final Edition Complete Pack DX+"

Train Construction Pack Steam Page

Unfortunately, the ridiculously titled combo pack's Steam page appears to be region locked to Japan, the DVD version is also Japan/Japanese only.

 

Link is a 1h42m video interview between Louis Rossmann, FUTO and Immich developers with a introduction to Immich by Louis.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.

Petition E-4965 is the one that is posted to stopkillinggames.com, Ross Scott (Accursed Farms)'s campaign to end the practice of bricking games people have purchased, whenever the publisher doesn't want to support it anymore.

It is open for signing by Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents, until September 5th 2024.

Please spread the word to your Canadian friends and family who take interest in games, and please add your name to it to support this campaign to help preserve games in some form in perpetuity.

Thank you!
