Shame he didn’t spend time reading up on SOLID principles, clean code, refactoring and TDD. Sounds like Jr parading as a senior. Product nerd != good developer.

Most seniors got burned so much, they refuse to build complex unsupportable stuff. KISS is king with top devs.

The fact this dude has the most experience says everything about your orgs hiring processes. Cheaping out on senior salaries.

It’s always the trade off. Convenience vs privacy. Personally, I always have a real wallet so cards are convenient to me. Batteries can run out at any time.

Using Google anything is never a privacy option.

Google wallet? Why would you move off Google and use something pointless a bank card would do?

I’m in the UK, but can access banking websites via browser.

For community specific stuff, maybe use a separate account. That way, your anonymous accounts leak less. In jerboa for example, it’s easy to switch accounts. On PC, different accounts can be logged in on different instances.

Hey. I pay good money for that.

I’m over here, buddy…

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Cause the nerds live underground…

I mean, if it’s a bank, they’ve probably got some BS dress policy and it’s chinos, shirt, shoes.

Polo shirts aren’t smart. Folk play tennis in them and the collar is floppy AF. They look scruffier than plain round neck T-shirt.

Is there even any rules on VPNs? Wasn’t you just on holiday for a weekend?

It’s not that they don’t want from the UK, they just can’t be bothered to deal with the Online Safety Act.

If it isn’t many images, couldn’t you just login on VPN (i think proton has free one) and delete images?

Technology? They are no more significant than other manufacturers. This is business news. Great business news, of course, but not technology.

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they’ll come.

Feels very AI generated.

If it’s a hobby. Just go for it. Enjoy it. Please and entertain yourself. If you take folk with you on the journey, great.

Pick a game engine. Godot is pretty sweet. Get started and follow a tutorial.

Choose whether you want to do 2D games or 3D. If 2D, start learning pixel art. If 3D. Learn 3d modelling software like blender. There is plenty to learn, but you can do it, so just start. Maybe pick a ridiculously small scope project to start and learn.

Because it’s a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?

A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

China? Silk Road dude was distracted by 2 enforcement offices while several arrested and grabbed the laptop. If you’re doing things that draw that level of resourcing, that’s on you. I don’t think any civilian had a 9 person heist for a laptop in China… Unless you have a reference… But I doubt it…
