  • Either that or enforce an equal share rule/law.

    All profit recorded by the end of the year must be equally split amongst all employees next year pay increase. No bonuses to any employees regardless of their standing in the company. No stocks, no cutting corners to make it look like there was only losses. No fire/re-hire at a different level, not transfers into a higher paying “position” or any other fucky business.

    If you make a billion in profit, that profit should be used for two purposes, keep the business afloat and provide everyone with an equal share. Like straight up equal. For example, company has 500 employees, makes 500k for the year, needs 250k for standard business expenses, the other 250k gets allocated to the 500 employees salaries.

    It doesn’t seem like a lot but if everyone is at the same level in terms of salary it changes things A LOT.

    That being said it’s not perfect, there will always be someone trying to exploit every loophole. To make more than someone else.

    But I feel like that takes the “investment” (the market) part of things and basically destroys it. Lets get rid of investors for companies that provide basic goods/services. While allowing for the profit to benefit the employees.


  • I have one of these and a dumper.

    I took all of the games we have and dumped them onto an SD card. I use it for the second switch we have that our kid uses.

    No messing about with swapping cartridges and taking a chance on losing one, which has already happened once.

    I ended up with a V2 which is even better. No wear and tear from popping the cartridge in and out and all the games on it.

    Aside from the “inconvenience” of having to push the button to roll through the games, it was worth it.




  • I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

    I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

    Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

    Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.





  • Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

    Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

    It’s also cheap.

    I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

    You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.










  • Exactly this.

    Just because you wrote your documentation a certain way, doesn’t automatically mean that you feel a certain way about any particular group, or that your users are primarily a certain gender. It may just be writing what pronoun you are most familiar with.

    In this particular case, we can see that the author didn’t exactly make the best case for himself.

    However, there was never a problem to begin with until the person that requested the change also accused the the author of assuming that the user/dev of the OS is male.

    If that little bit of accusation would have been left out, and they just put a note like “grammatical correction” it may have just been accepted and moved on. Instead they asked for a change while accusing the author of feeling a certain way.


  • There literally wasn’t a problem.

    Until the person that asked for the correction literally assumed that said dev was assuming. Since thats what they said in their comment.

    So I can understand being a little pissy at someone pointing to you and accusing you of assuming something. It’s stupid.

    I may have been a little irritated too if someone accused me of assuming something. I wouldn’t have reacted the same, but I would have been clear that I in no way assume anything related to gender identity.

    If the person wouldn’t have put that assumption into their comment, the change may have been more likely to happen.

    Instead they assumed something and got push back which turned into the scene we see now.

    Ass u me… I mean it’s pretty clear.
