Visibility is a good thing.

But... pineapples don't hang? Unless you were referring to the diodes. I'm not sure how those grow in the wild.

This highlights one of the things that I saw as a benefit when I started on kbin: being able to see who the downvote fairies were. I know the discussion has been done to death on the Lemmy side, but as a user I found it interesting to be able to see this kind of info. For example, instead of just block/reporting the spammer, I could block their sock puppets that upvoted as well. (And did kbin.social have a lot of that towards the end. Oof.)

Thanks for digging into this.

What a tastefully named gentleman.

It is Nintendo so whatever they do is amazing and perfect but they probably wanted to use the same parts on both the pro controller and the joycons.

What? The stick hardware on the pro controller is essentially the same thing that's in Xbox and PlayStation controllers. The joycon stick hardware is much smaller.

There's a buffet place my spouse's friends were all gaga over. It was a bit of a drive so it took me a few years to actually agree to go. It was like $25 or $30 a person (but free if it's your birthday!) 15 years ago, so it's not like it was cheap. The first thing that struck me is how absolutely cavernous the place was. Like a Walmart filled with tables and food islands. Signs saying where to find certain types of food. That kind of thing.

I might have eaten $10 worth of food. And I have been known to pig out from time to time. But between the mediocre at best food and the "atmosphere"... yeah I had no plans on sticking around to try and get my money's worth.

I won't get to retire at all, so that means I'm fine, right?

...oh.

No, give it to me, I'll put it somewhere safe. You'll never see it again, but it'll be safe.

Just like the screws I need to reassemble my weed whacker.

Edit: bummer it's not part of the markdown

There's a kind of learned helplessness with some developers and tests. It's weird.

I got handed the keys to the network monitoring suite many moons ago. I immediately started editing the default alert actions to display relevant information, and in some outlier cases escalation procedures.

Most times, it was ignored. Other times, it was skimmed and half-followed. A few people outright refused to do anything differently than they had before (kick it up the ladder).

Glad to be rid of that place.

It just stands on top of the telly.
