strange. as far as i understand it we got rid of it because more frequent paychecks can make people subconsciously less likely to put money into savings, sort of how like living next to a supermarket makes some people cook less. it’s not a law, but the unions pushed for it until it became the standard.

wait, what does semimonthly mean? like, not every month?

i have only ever heard of one place that paid biweekly, and that was a completely analog firm run by some religious nut. they stopped doing it in like 2002 and everyone who worked there complained.

wait, where in the world is it common to get paid twice a month? we got rid of that in like the 70s…

i sympathise. i learned the fortune file format just so i could add my own stupid shit to it.

i always read commas as pauses, and when they’re at the end of a line they sound like breaths. it sounds so weird in my head.

9front is not useless!

you can run catclock.

it’s an interesting case for sure. i’m assuming this is upwind of SteamInput because there’s no way to get the game itself to switch input stacks unless they’ve built in multiple ones.

my intuition tells me this happens because there are no event consumers for gamepads active when playing with keyboard, however that seems way too simplistic, all you need is a drain in that case.

i had never heard of wg-input, and the one place that comes up when searching is the dolphin emulator repo. looks like a pretty new windows-specific API (they call it “GameInput”) that they say is a superset of all their earlier apis. don’t understand how that could then bork XInput if it’s already included.

sweden has two different signs:

also, the guy has a name which translates to “mr. walkman”, which in swedish sounds like “here is where one should walk”

studies on UBI shows that to be a pretty uncommon stance.

dear dr. breen,

what’s this about a suppression field?

please tell me you have an accepted code style with proper tooling and precommit hooks set up

my immediate reaction when hearing their explanation was that their entire infrastructure must be completely fucked and that the admission alone would prevent them from operating… anywhere. they effectively confessed to failing every basic security principle there is and as a result they can not be trusted with any data whatsoever without a thorough, independent audit.

like, if this was actually an “unknown actor” we would either have gotten a cve number and 90 day grace period, or a complete shutdown and an animated ascii skull. the entire way they went about this shows their entire operation is untrustworthy, and the fact that they’re apparently not seeing that makes it even worse.
