I don’t even know why we talk with other people in companies anymore. We can’t send emails because people don’t read them. So we are drowning in calls where we include the whole team where we talk about our weekends for 5 minutes at the start and spend half talking about what could have been a email. So on top we have bots that do these summaries so people can be sitting on calls only paying half attention to then not read the summaries anyway.
SilverShark@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do country names (ones you are affiliated with or know of) mean in their own language?10·8 days agoPortugal comes from “Portus Cale”. It was in the general area of the city of Porto. The word “Postus” and “Porto” mean port, as in a port for ships.
Stray is such an amazing game. Real work of art. I love how we discover more and more of the story of this world.
I can’t wait to play Expedition 33.
SilverShark@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp is officially getting adsEnglish3·1 month agoYes, this is right. Saying arbitrarily “better” leaves a lot out.
I must admit that using the business integration for customer support has lead me to really good experiences. Especially not having to call, wait 20 minutes under a ring tone, and talking over a line with very low sound quality.

I remember the reaction at the time and so many people hated it. I didn’t dislike it, I was getting a bit into it.
Yeah, really baffling direction. I ended up trying a version on gnome 3 on a Debian distro when I had a new job. It ran very slowly. Super weird. It used to be super smooth.
Interesting. I think they might have been my problem, I was just trying to use it tradicionally. I wonder how it’s different nowadays.

SilverShark@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is an actor you can't stand, but everyone likes?8·1 month agoHe really is more of an action movie character indeed. It works great in John Wick, and also did work well in The Matrix.
SilverShark@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is an actor you can't stand, but everyone likes?5·1 month agoI also could never stand him. I think I just saw him in to many things basically being Jack Black or something.
There is actually one movie called The Holiday, it’s a RomCom from 2006 which I like very much, and I think he does a good job there.
Yeah, it’s been interesting seeing all the alternatives popping up. I think I’ve met a lot of people who really liked MATE.
I’ve mostly kept using XFCE. But before I had i3 only.
I don’t quite get why massive Gnome changes would imply a death of Desktop Linux. There are so many great alternatives to it. It’s been many years that Gnome has been considered bad by many, and that many have used alternatives. I just think it’s positive that Gnome continue to get worse, because like that more distros may default to better alternatives to begin with.

SilverShark@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - DexertoEnglish2·1 month agoThis is the most baffling feature ever. Why would anyone want to have titles translated? The video itself is not going to be translated! I guess it’s because of these auto subtitles that are simply not that reliable nor do they make for a good viwing experience if you really don’t know the language.
Even Youtube’s algorithm already doesn’t suggest videos from languages in which you don’t search in! My youtube shows me stuff only in the languages I usually google with.
And the ads with this ai voice… Damn they are weird.
OMG! This is exactly what I’m missing.
Thank you so much!
Oh yes definitely. We get way to much screen time. And I also feel the same when I sometimes don’t really want to think too much in the evening. I’ve come to not play certain games I deem a bit too much. Elden Ring comes to mind. I like souls like, and I did play Lies of P recently which I enjoyed. But Elden Ring looks way to long and might be a hard game.

I was playing Spider-Man 2, where Kraven is a major character, when this movie came out and I wasn’t even aware of it. It is also now available on Netflix.
