This is my stance as well. I have a decade of experience and I have been a workaholic, so at this point I wouldn't want to work somewhere with that bs anyway. I also have experienced one great HR team.

That being said, I know how the game is played. A decade ago, I listed a dozen things on my resume I would have had trouble to demonstrate, but nowadays I can just build a nice story that is 100% truthful from cherry-picked facts. Sad truth is that if you're too candid you might come off as too disengaged nowadays. I've seen it happen in interviews. Best to pretend that your life led to this moment, and that you're that kind of person to find exciting whatever kind of work it is. If you lack experience for entry-level roles, just fill the gaps with lies.

It's the same for every place you need to apply or pitch an idea where the places are limited. Criterias just get absurd, and even acing the criterias might not be enough. People who rise are simply the better bullshiters.

Years ago my friend received a call for a job, within minutes the HR person asked if he had a good experience with a certain language and he flat out said no, even though he had some very basic knowledge. The interview ended right there. I just couldn't believe that he wouldn't lie, he was perfect for the job, but HR does not care. He's been in the same role for 10 years and unwilling to "lie" to get a promotion or a new role, so that is where we are. This 30% of honest employees is probably not getting the best jobs.

Yeep, I think everyone with half a brain feared for the peaceful transfer of power early in his presidency, or even back during his first campaign. Reporters asked him every now and then if he'd accept the results and he always answered wannabe-dictator shit. Then to the leading to the 6th of jan it was plain as day that he would pull something with the mail-in bailots as a justification to overthrow the government. Then of course it fucking happens, and a third of the country is playing dumb. If you were reading the alt-right popular forum you knew it was meant to be their big day, a lot of people were armed that day but they pussied out

I made games primarily for Windows which we also compiled for Linux. It is mostly input/output stuff, aka hardware issues. That is, audio issues, input issues, storage issues, dependency issues. Modern game engine mostly handle the rest. It wasn't such a big deal to fix, but most gamedev lacked experience with Linux, and most projects are already over budget and late, so fixing Linux for an extra 2-5% of sales didn't make much sense at small scale. Proton kind off fixed all of this tho.

Salty water will simply kill you faster. If you're severely dehydrated already and you opt for salty water you will simply destroy your body by extreme osmosis.

A judge already ordered him to repay the bulk of the amount. "On Monday, a court in Copenhagen ordered the artist to repay the money that was loaned to him but said he should still be paid his fee."

He called the Emmy awards rigged the entire time his show was on-air. There is no universe in which trump is losing where he's not blaming someone else.

I've found that communities that are both mainstream and related to technical subjects to always get filled by people who know just barely enough about the subject to spread self-assured disinformation.

You won't really have this problem with super-niche stuff, or stuff that isn't mainstream enough like a pilot community. Gaming in social media is definitely cursed.

I love Valve, but I really don't understand why gamers give Steam so much praise. It is a closed platform filled with DRM on which you don't truely own a copy of the game (unlike gog), and on top of that they take a 30% cut of every sales and transactions which is enormous for small studios to pay. Support is poor and the algo/front page distribution of traffic and promotions is a black box.

Don't get me wrong, Gabe seems like a sensible human, and Steam is successful because it offered such a great service to players. But it's been almost 20years now since Steam, and I have not seen Valve slow down the greed. They don't need the money as this point. They don't need 30% of every game sale on PC. This is just as greedy as the other company people hate.

What if you make an app or a game and sell it for 2 Billions dollars?

Makes sense that suddenly becoming billionaire with every intention to not remain one by turning into a force of good is arguably one way to be a decent human. In other words, the only good billionaires are those not trying to be, or remain billionaires.

There is also a point where you have to be smart and patient with how you distribute your money, or else you simply risk some other greedy asshole to pocket it.

No, it was a big international corporation. But afaik the forced positivity was universal.
