While I can't speak for others, that wasn't the intention at all. You asked who to report this situation to, so we told you the right way to report this. Other Discord Guilds / users aren't responsible for what happens outside of the Guild itself; that's between the users involved. The only way to report this to Discord is through their official channels. Up to you whether or not you wish to file reports.

[alpine gale]

Quite possibly. Tis why I warned against making threats of bodily harm in such an open manner. 🤷

[hazy parrot]

You're acting as if i own a company

Ok, thats a stupid thing to say, you said you cant be hired unless you have 10 years of experience, in which i said thats incorrect.

Its not a good one, its wrong

Ur the one doing that

An incorrect one

I didnt, i said thats not right then you replied with a smartass response

Bro got a stick up his ass 😂

Got defensive for nothin

?

Lmao, ok snowflake

Cant handle a simple conversation

I just replied saying you was wrong then you proceed to say idiotic things lmao

thousands of people with zero experience get jobs every day, just because you got rejected from a job doesn't mean everyone does

[split swift]

Exactly lmao

I work in the tech field lmao

Im IT

[oak pier]

It's an oversaturated market, yes, but people still get hired without experience lol

Hiya Barrington!

[vapid moss]

lol same, first job was tech repair with zero previous experience

[split swift]

Yeah, you can do interns, field tech, remote support, etc

[oak pier]

so your claim is that exactly 0 people without 10 years experience are hired today in the tech industry?

So hostile, maybe have a cup of tea

I highly recommend jasmine, very calming

[split swift]

I skipped all that and went straight to being head technician lol

Do you not understand what "no one" means

[split swift]

Lmao, dude got triggered and started doing this bc i said that he was wrong lmao

[oak pier]

When someone misunderstands you, do you immediately go to attacking them, or do you politely correct them

[split swift]

Please show where i did lmao

[oak pier]

I'm starting to see why you might not be able to find employment easily

[thick obsidian]

hey floatplane people, did you have to manually verify after connecting your account or did it happen after X minutes?

[split swift]

Dude would be awful to work with lmao

[thick obsidian]

oh nvm it happened already

[oak pier]

Wdym chose to attack? i've been pretty civil this entire time

[split swift]

Na, ur just being a rage baby rn 😂😂

[neon mesa]

Has some truth to it.
Though another part of it is that majority of candidates have the same skills as cardboard.

[split swift]

Same lmao, i just started rage baiting when i noticed how dude was acting

[oak pier]

As someone who has been the interviewer numerous times, any kind of hostile conduct like this would be an immediate no

[split swift]

The delusion is at maximum rn 😂

When was i self absorbed? Please quote this

[oak pier]

How exactly is addressing the condition of the tech employment market with specificity and genuine experience "being a self absorbed asshole"

[vapid moss]

gets corrected once immediately crashes out on everyone and anything

[split swift]

Dude its crazy 😂

Ur changing ur argument now

[oak pier]

After which, most people would have politely corrected the small misunderstanding in verbiage and meaning, but instead you chose to be overtly hostile

[split swift]

There wasn't until you started crashing out

[oak pier]

When did i do that?

A citation would be most appreciated if you'd be so kind

[split swift]

Dude is hella delusional rn lmao

[vapid moss]

you know I can see your message history right?

[split swift]

He refuses to do this lmao

No, ur just wrong lmao

Its as simple as that

[oak pier]

I mean that's mildly passive aggressive at absolute worst

I was just pointing out your rhetorical inconsistencies

[split swift]

More assumptions lmao

[oak pier]

part of my job, my bad

[split swift]

True, welcome to IT 😂😂😂

[oak pier]

actually my work computer isn't online, intranet only baby

[split swift]

Dude couldn't defend so he went to insults lmao

[oak pier]

(incompatible network protocols)

[stark kettle]

tried making every sound from scratch using only a sine wave as a base, lowk had fun but not polished, lmk what u guys think

[vapid moss]

literally that

[split swift]

Not at all, we asked you to quote and reference things many times and yet you have not done it a single time

[oak pier]

Yet when you ask us to cite something you're expedient in calling us out on intermittent failure to do so

[split swift]

And we have referenced things lmao

[vapid moss]

lmao they sent me a dm then blocked me

[neon mesa]

Even AI would be able to pick a side atp

[oak pier]

Hence "intermittent"

[stark kettle]

pls give feedback, im asking different communities cause i lowk produce in a producer echo chamber where we all make hyper music

[oak pier]

this better not be earrape

[stark kettle]

shouldnt be?

texture/perc based mostly

[oak pier]

I mean it's a cool sound, but composition wise it's all over the place

[stark kettle]

well thats why i said its not polished

[oak pier]

For anyone not well acquainted with music theory it's quite nice

[stark kettle]

i didnt arrange or finish most of it

[oak pier]

(still did better than i could have)

[stark kettle]

ive been producing for 7y now i know what is wrong with the track etc

music theory wise its just the mix and the arrangement that are issues

[oak pier]

Sounds good as a sort of rough draft

[split swift]

No

[vapid moss]

I read the full chat, you said something dumb, got corrected, then flipped out and started throwing insults at everyone,

ironically

[stark kettle]

thx :D

[split swift]

Yes!

Ur digging yourself a deeper rabbit hole from this double down lmao

[vapid moss]

or you could have stopped typing and NOT called people a slur

[stark kettle]

cant u guys stop fighting

youre not fighting over a real point anymore

[shut birch]

eat some popcorn

[stark kettle]

just over who's right or wrong

[split swift]

Thats literally what ur doing rn lmao

[oak pier]

saying "anyways" then going back and responding to a message before you said that is a rather ineffective way of moving a conversation away from the topic

[stark kettle]

every single one of u guys are wasting your time rn, myself included

[oak pier]

Citation for ya

[oak pier]

Nah this is rather fun

[stark kettle]

do something with ur life now, make an effort to do something that will make your day better

[split swift]

My day got better with this entertainment

[oak pier]

That's what the second monitor is for 😉

wdym "disregarding that" they said it prior to you saying "anyways"

[split swift]

A hypocrite i see

[stark kettle]

sometimes being the first to disengage is how you "win" an argument that is unwinnable

[split swift]

Na this is pretty fun ngl

[stark kettle]

you would be right if you left

btw

[oak pier]

At this point there is no winning, only entertainment

[stark kettle]

anyways is this saveable

tryna solder a new mouse switch

and i have the worst tools for that

[oak pier]

doesn't seem to be any damaged traces, so i'm leaning towards yes

[stark kettle]

it did end up being fine

..somehow

[oak pier]

The worst part with soldering, is when you get into it, you tend to have cheap tools, which make soldering harder

by the time you have the skills to do well with any soldering iron, you've likely purchased a better iron

[split swift]

"Anyways"

[stark kettle]

don't get me mixed up in this, i'm not here to give either of u guys validation

[split swift]

The proceeds to to continue 😂

[oak pier]

Much appreciated Barrington

I owe you a cup of tea

[split swift]

Na i accidentally responded to you due to chat moving up

[stark kettle]

alr

[split swift]

Was it a ban? I cant tell bc im blocked lmao

[oak pier]

turns out when you sequence 5 minutes of 60fps video it ends up being a lot of images

[oak pier]

Just a mute

[stark kettle]

hes still in the server

[split swift]

Ah ok lmao

[shut birch]

muted

[split swift]

That was great, been a while since i saw a crash out that big

Anyways, lets move on

[oak pier]

I'm on to test 2 of trying to render my room in 3d using photogrammetry

[stark kettle]

@oak pier have you ever listened to the album "oil of every pearls un-insides" by sophie

[oak pier]

1st one was kind of fail, but i think it's cause of the lack fo quality footage

[oak pier]

I have not

If it isn't pre-2000s or a musical, i'm unlikely to have listened to it

[stark kettle]

its prolly one of the most inspirational things ive heard recently for my music, it is really "special" tho.

i think you should give it a full listen, but approach it with open arms and let it make u feel what is conveyed

[oak pier]

i end up listening to a lot of musicals for my work as a theatrical lighting designer

[shut birch]

ooh sick, mind if I ask what it’s for?

[oak pier]

Test to see if it'll work for rendering the theater i work at

[stark kettle]

if u have 40min and wanna think about something else

[oak pier]

need it so i can do a true to life model in augment 3d

Easier to do a small scale test with my office than jumping straight to a massive auditorium

[stark kettle]

i strongly recommend you take a listen to that album, PLEASE let me know your thoughts about if you ever end up doing so 🙏

[shut birch]

smart isn't it

[stark kettle]

it's nothing you're expecting, it's one of the most influential "hyperpop" (if u can even label it that) albums, that's somehow also had a lot of impact on modern mainstream music

[oak pier]

5:36s of footage ended up being 20,185 images

at 3MB each

4k 60 taken on my phone, using ffmpeg for the conversion

[shut birch]

i got zero experience in 3D stuff

[oak pier]

I've very little, meshroom makes it pretty straight forward

convert video to images, adjust one setting to keep it from failing due to the volume of files, boom done

lol it freezes whenever it starts

ig 20k images isn't nothing

[shut birch]

[oak pier]

this might take a while

for reference, about 1/5th this volume took about 2-3 hours to render from start to finish

Good thing it's gonna run overnight

[shut birch]

you gotta take a nap, i guess

[oak pier]

hardest part about photogrammetry is getting quality source media, so hopefully i did a good enough job

[oak pier]

it’s 23:02 and i have class at 7, my ass is going to sleep

[shut birch]

alright goodluck, im going to sleep aswell 4am ffs

my time management is shit

[oak pier]

realest statement i’ve read all day

[thick obsidian]

i have an alarm set for 5:45AM (those extra 15 minutes are for snoozing my alarm!), and its 11PM for me right now

I'm not too far gone, wish me luck 🫡

It seems I have two passwords now actually

You can share this password with guests to allow them to use your Mobile Hotspot temporarily. The next time you turn on Mobile Hotspot, the password will be reset.

[unborn briar]

which one should i use?
1 Keep Java desktop and add Symja + Commons Math.
2 Keep Java desktop only and extend the custom math engine.
3 Start a separate web rewrite (React + Canvas/Three.js) while keeping the desktop app stable.
this is an calculator app kinda like geogebra

just say one. i dont know which one would be best

i am aiming for it to not need internet

i asked copilot to analyze the code and it recomended #1 because: Given your current codebase is Java/Swing and already working, the best direction for this project is to stay Java desktop and extend it (option 1: add focused Java math libraries). That’s the lowest risk, fastest path to feature depth, and it aligns with the original GeoGebra desktop approach.

frr

so i think i should do #1 because i might have someone else write with me soon

i have these already made

oh so your good at this lol

is this good i have maven and gradle in this or is it bad

btw this is my first bigger project. i have only made a few minecraft server plugins before like a simple combat plugin with no fancy stuff

yeahh

my plans are to make a geogebra type app and the name of this is currently bettergebra because i am bad with names lol

yeah im not like Yandere dev and i don't make all into one big file with hundreds of thousand lines of code and everything scrambled into it hard to fix bugs like that you know

I actually wanted a SFF computer with Linux alongside my gaming computer just so I'm not putting out excess heat so I can do productivity tasks, then just use an HDMI KVM or something but it's still a WIP thought atm

meh, I refuse to play games that use kernel level anticheat.

that's totally fair, I'm just an addict

I love linux so much

I am RDP'd into my Linux VM on tailscale right now because I need to access stuff away from home..I like its UI a lot better and I've considered dual booting my laptop

Hello team,
I got a new PC running MSI motherboard. But i cannot seem to be able to run the RGB lights on it. Apparently when i check HWInfo i get the motherboard detecting as Gigabyte

[south stone]

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

[hybrid dagger]

I just saw an article that stated that LMG apparently bought a jet.
I knew something related to aviation was teased in a video but wondered about the things that would be done content wise other than for April (it's gonna be a repeat of the firetruck lol).
The first thing I thought of was what starlink performance would be if you got a terminal and just held it up to the window and how to power it using things you could reasonably take on a plane.

The other idea I had that would apply to many other situations was a plex server that would sync content over a mobile network connection while it was on the ground to another plex server such as one at home.

Just wanted to voice my idea somewhere, also wondered if they'd charter it out during times of low use to reduce hourly cost.

[alpine gale]

What is the exact model of motherboard? Take a bunch of photos of the various text / markings on the board. Or the box it came in. Or both. The more information you can provide, the better we might be able to help.

[distant silo]

Its MSI X970E.

I have latest bios and restored default bios settings also

[alpine gale]

Yep, MSI uses the dragon, so it's an MSI board alright. I would suggest using a newer version of HWInfo, or trying a different program, like LibreHardwareMonitor. If the board is too new, it's possible HWInfo can't identify it.

Yogurt and berries
Probiotics prebiotics superfood mix
Good for gi

[cedar forge]

I just ate pickled Jalapenos, mixed with garlic and fresh crack black pepper. Extremely low calorie, slightly satisfying.

[toxic blade]

Satisfying yes
Good for you yes
Rich in probiotics : debatable depends on how pickled jalapeños were made
If vinegar then no
If fermented with just salt then yes probiotics gg wp

Also that sounds yum

[cedar forge]

Just low calorie, and what I have in the fridge. I'd eat your dish without the yogurt.

[toxic blade]

But but probiotics

[cedar forge]

I do need to improve my diet, I'm sure probiotics is a good start. But I'll try other healthy things first over yogurt. I don't like yogurt in multiple dishes.

How many calories is that fruit bowl?

[toxic blade]

Roughly 60-80 for berries and like 40-50 for yogurt
Just rough estimates

[toxic blade]

Sauerkraut homemade with salt only not vinegar is a probiotics heaven
If u do it try 3% salt ratio

[cedar forge]

Yea that's good for me actually. Low calorie frequent is what is keeping me stready.

[cedar forge]

I love fermented veggies, but sauerkraut hasn't been good to me, idk everyone has their own pickling so I need to try more. And all my pickled stuff is vinegar. What's wrong with vinegar?

[shy gale]

hi

[toxic blade]

Vinegar kills bacteria = no fermentation/ no probiotic bacteria
Salt up to a certain level allows good bacteria to thrive and multiply
So pickling is making them through vinegar that’s taste and texture only
Fermentation is using salt to achieve same result but probiotic rich

https://youtube.com/shorts/5VlFcoJVM_k?si=6UYvNSbSNZzB_WPu

Lastly you really need probiotics for your gut health which is your second brain and very important in your health
Current day diets weaken gut micro flora which is crucial for digestion and helps immune system
Reinforce with probiotic rich food / drink
There’s kimchi sauerkraut and you can ferment anything really
Also for drink there’s kambucha

Why the fuck can you buy this in a 5 pack

Single or 5, both of those are horrible options

[fossil frost]

last time i put anything out like that in my garden.. 3 pigeons came and ate everything. and while the fat pigeon was eating the last crumbs.. a rat snuck up behind it, bit the pigeon on the back of the neck and dragged it off

[harsh quartz]

Hey, quick question, what’s the moral of this story?

[fossil frost]

rats can be arseholes

[harsh quartz]

You should sell that story to Disney and see what they can do with it

Like the old fairy tales

[winged spire]

I got a bird feeder that cuts off the fat ones

[harsh quartz]

….like at the knees?

[winged spire]

Squirrels and fat birds make the feeder shut

[harsh quartz]

Do birds have knees?

[winged spire]

Yeah probably

[fossil frost]

didnt mark rober show that squirrels can easily bypass that?

[winged spire]

Maybe my squirrels are dumber because they haven’t

They’ve given up

[fossil frost]

are you saying he has secretly trained nasa squrrels and they arent just the local squirrels from near his house?

[winged spire]

[harsh quartz]

….wouldnt you?

[fossil frost]

the british army, and the US army have trained rats, the russians have trained dogs, the us navy trained dolphins (badly)

[winged spire]

The Soviets had over 200 crewed launches

They absolutely have tried it

They doing some freak shit up there

i still find it funny that the US Navy trained dolphins for years, highly trained, they performed super well in all simulated scenarios.. and then they let them out into the open ocean for further testing... and they all just fucked off and never came back

i would say to run HWInfo64 on a 2nd screen if you have one, and watch the cpu+gpu+ram usage and see what is going on

[winged spire]

This is how they get you

[harsh quartz]

Tbf it like halved my frame rate on a 3070 too, dogtown is just WAY more demanding than the rest of the game

[winged spire]

Dogtown is the Haitian area right?

[harsh quartz]

No it’s the dlc

That was Pacifica, which ran fine

Well, as fine as the rest of 2077

[wide igloo]

the fps diff make it seem like two diff games all tgt

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, the DLC is basically a second, smaller cyberpunk attached to the first

And it’s way more demanding

[wide igloo]

makes me think

is there any title heavier than cyberpunk

[fossil frost]

comparative to the hardware of the time? yes crysis 3 smashed machines of the time, and did for many years after too

[harsh quartz]

Borderlands 4 probably

[wide igloo]

as of now

[fossil frost]

crysis 3 was built during the ghz war, and the engine was built assuming we were gonna be 5gz+ easily at the time of release.. but then we sort of just stopped at 3-4ghz and started adding more cores instead.. and c3 wasnt written to take advantage of multiple cores

[wide igloo]

are ue5 games js unoptimised or is that a cope for weak hardware

[harsh quartz]

Ehh it’s kinda a mix, not one or the other, unoptimized is just used too much. Borderlands 4 is on a whole nother level though, and it doesn’t help when Randy basically says fuck optimizing the game, just get better hardware

[dusky jacinth]

Some of them are. The engine is starting to receive more optimisations to improve, though it will still vary in results for games that use it going forwards.

[winged spire]

the state of most software "engineering" is truly an embarrassment

[fossil frost]

the problem with UE5 isnt that its unoptimised. its that game devs learn on UE in college/university if they are serious about wanting to do AAA game dev as a job.. and they do that because thats what most of the jobs are advertising for.. and most of the jobs advertise that way because they know thats what the college/uni kids are doing... and its cheaper to hire loads of juniors for a project, than it is to keep people employed between projects... so these people will jump from studio to studio and never learn how to optimise a codebase and make it better.. we are about 10 years deep into this cycle right now

[harsh quartz]

Satisfactory runs very well and it’s UE5 IIRC

[dusky jacinth]

Others might just even go back to using UE4 (like SquareEnix) for varying reasons.

[fossil frost]

so now we have "senior" developers who have no idea how to write a well optimised game, teaching junior developers the same bad habbits they learned

[harsh quartz]

Okay Kanye calm down

and id donate another 20 million to charity.. just to make a point that the advertising during the superbowl, or any other event.. is bollocks

i’ll just mute my tv whenever an ad plays i guess

I just don't watch TV because time-theft from being unable to skip undesirable content is real, just like the time-theft caused by ads on the internet / websites. Time-theft and security reasons are why I block ads.

[fossil frost]

also, they have apparently rewritten american idiot with updated lyrics... im looking forward to seeing how that goes 😄

You have now made me REALLY want to watch the half time show specifically now

oh for the world series i’m guessing

they have halftime shows? lol

i would txt him and ask him what it was.. but i know that if i do that. it will result in a several hours long phonecall that i cannot be arsed with 😄

[winged spire]

lol

[harsh quartz]

Text to get the answer and then just ghost :p

[fossil frost]

he will call to give the answer, thats the problem

all the configs

[winged spire]

very glad my entire generation has crimpling social anxiety

this literally never happens to me

excluding discord I guess

[fossil frost]

hes in his late 50s now. he would have no trouble phoning me and telling me about it for hours

[winged spire]

discord is more asynchronous though, doesnt count

[harsh quartz]

captains server

I’ve seen you in that VC :p

[winged spire]

thats the single most autistic server ive ever been in lol

[harsh quartz]

Oh I love the memes chat

[winged spire]

it would make a great case study

[harsh quartz]

Everyone in that server speaks way over my head except the memes channel and then sometimes that too

[tranquil heron]

I need a new PC

[stark idol]

yea

winfetch ive never seen that

[tranquil heron]

I'm planning for a huge update

Hp victus fa2013dx

[stark idol]

hp blehh

[tranquil heron]

I also tried in my job computer

[stark idol]

garbage company hp

[tranquil heron]

It's my only budget option because lenovo loq have mobo issues

[stark idol]

even their enterprise hardware isnt super great

[tranquil heron]

Msi = single fan

Hp = hinge problems

[pliant karma]

Ehhh haven’t had much of an issue with their hinges as of late. On the older models but that’s over the years of me dealing with their business line

[stark idol]

hinge problems, proprietarity, ai supprort

[winged spire]

all low end metal chassis laptops have hinge issues

[fossil frost]

AI/NPU support isnt bad in its self.. its common sense for HW manufacturers these days really.. its the AI that nobody wants, being forced on you by the software makers, that is problem

[pliant karma]

^and you can just avoid it all together.

With the deployed fleet I’m working with I’ve gone through stripping it since it’s not needed.

[tranquil heron]

My first laptop was the hp g72

[fossil frost]

i dont use it often. but. one of my favourite things is my printer.. dont get me wrong, i fucking hate printers, and having to print things.. but.. it has a form fed scanner..

i had to print out, and sign each page of a 30 page contract. for my new job

i then had to scan the contract back in to send it to them

i would have turned the job down if i had to do that page by page

[pliant karma]

Nice I started with their Folio 9470M, but swapped between diferent hp and dell models after that

and macbooks from 2015 to now so I'm rarely using one laptop for an extended period of time unless I outright bought it.

[safe iris]

yo chat does anyone know where is the whale lan event happening

[alpine gale]

Information about the #whale-lan is available in the pinned message area for that channel. 🙂

[restive lion]

Presumably the building they've made multiple videos about designing to host whale lan

[safe iris]

theres only a discord link there

...

[alpine gale]

While I too love ADF scanners... It's 2026. Why no digital contract in 2026? 🤔

[restive lion]

(Its smash champs)

[fossil frost]

i was about to post. "probably in the building they bought specifically for whale lan, the whale lan building, the building they made videos about hosting whale lan in, several times.. "

[alpine gale]

Website is there too. 🙂

[fossil frost]

docusign is more expensive than making me scan in 30 pages 😛

[restive lion]

I have thought about going but I also really can't be bothered to disassemble my rig to take it to leave on a plastic table for a couple hours

[safe iris]

i mean i have seen the website but could not find the location of where it is...

[restive lion]

Bruv there's an entire page called "map"

[fossil frost]

i thought about going, but then i realised its a party that you pay a lot of money to get a ticket for.. and i could host my own party, with people i like, for less money, and not have to charge any of those people to attend

[restive lion]

Now that's not very capitalistic of you

[safe iris]

erm it dont show the map

it shows the location of venue for parking and drop off

[alpine gale]

The link to the location is at the top of the home page under the Dates above the Buy Tickets button, though I do agree this is not very clear. An address under the name of the location would be far more accessible to more people. You should suggest this to them by contacting them using the email on the Contact Us page of the site. 👍

[restive lion]

it shows the location of the venue
Do you need it spelt out for you?

[fossil frost]

also.. the "whale" in "whale lan" is a reference to a "whale customer" in sales, the sort of gulliable customer with too much money, where its really easy to take the money from that customer

[cerulean canopy]

wait, you dont have digital signage capability on your id card?

[fossil frost]

theres no digital id in the uk (yet)

[safe iris]

??

[alpine gale]

To be fair, the Map & Parking page says nothing about where it's located and does not give an address. Makes it difficult for people who may not be savvy at navigating websites, and more importantly, it's more steps than necessary to find what should otherwise be easily accessible information.

[restive lion]

Where does an id come in in signing a job contract

[alpine gale]

That's not the home page. Visit the home page. https://whalelan.com

[safe iris]

home page of what

[cerulean canopy]

here its essentially a smart card that stores personal certificate for auth and signing, not a digital ID

[fossil frost]

where is "here"?

[cerulean canopy]

croatia

[safe iris]

bruv just send the location atp 😭

[restive lion]

Counterpoint, looking up the name

[fossil frost]

ah ok.. cant say ive heard of that anywhere else.. most places use docusign, or paper contracts

[alpine gale]

Tap on the blue Smash Champs link.

[alpine gale]

Counterpoint, if one does not know what smash champs is, how would they know to look that up? Good UI/UX design is dying a slow death. It makes me weep every day.

[restive lion]

Cuz it's a name on the map page

[safe iris]

o

[restive lion]

Did we forget how to look up land marks as a species

I genuinely thought this was just common sense?

[alpine gale]

Some of us use screen readers, which cannot necessarily extract text from images on a website. Websites should be accessible to everyone, because intuitiveness is not automatically afforded to everyone. Even LTT knows this from Apple's iOS mobile phone design. The Design of Everyday Things (the book, the audio book, and this course) outlines how to properly design things for the real world. Remember kids, if you ever encounter a door that has a "push" or "pull" sign on it, whomever selected and installed that door has failed.

[safe iris]

?

[fossil frost]

probably.. people in general, are incapable of doing their own research now.. they want other people to think for them

[cerulean canopy]

but docusign is essentially just overlaying an transparent PNG of a signature on top of the document and not doing actual digital signing

[restive lion]

Yeah I've started to get that feeling

Especially with the rise of 3rd party thinkers

[fossil frost]

docusign also digitally signs the document with a digital certificate, adding verification that the document has not been manipulated after the fact

[safe iris]

@restive lion btw the smash champs badminton sounds mopre of a badminton court ngl

[fossil frost]

yes, its exactly that... during the day

[safe iris]

so ye smhhh

[fossil frost]

there are at least... 4 or 5 videos on LTT about this

[restive lion]

... so?

[fossil frost]

all explained.. at length

[safe iris]

so uhhhhh rather than telling "do ur research" maybe be clear

[restive lion]

You asked where it's hosted. The name "smash champs" gives you a business name to look up on Google Maps, which gives you the precise building it's hosted in, regardless of whether it's hosted at that specific business or a different one in the same building

[safe iris]

nop i did not know that it was a business name

[harsh quartz]

It’s also expected that anyone knowledgeable enough to spend a lot of money on the whale lan probably watches enough Ltt to know what smash champs is

[fossil frost]

instead of saying "be clear" which is effectively "do my research for me", which is not what other people are here for.. do your own research instead of acting entitled when people dont want to do your research for you for something you want to do for yourself

[safe iris]

nah i just came to know about it from the hp vid about subscription laptop

i dont watch ltt everyday

[restive lion]

Then you can't be helped ngl

[fossil frost]

you are choosing to go to an event you know nothing about, its up to you to find out more about the event yourself, instead of expecting other people to find out about it for you

[restive lion]

A name with an arrow pointing at a building is a pretty big indicator

[safe iris]

when did i say i want to go...
i just asked where it is happening

[harsh quartz]

Oh so your just wasting everyones time instead of your own :p

[safe iris]

i was looking to volunteer at the event bruvvvvvvv

[alpine gale]

oof. If they can't afford to implement proper hiring processes in 2026, I'm afraid for the businesses longevity. 🤷 then again, some businesses are held together by hopes, dreams, duct tape, and glue so...

[harsh quartz]

So you do want to go?

[safe iris]

and it does not mention that in the voluenteer section

[fossil frost]

so as i said, you are looking to go to an event that you know nothing about, and you want us to find out about it for you, instead of doing that your self

[restive lion]

And excel sheets. So many excel sheets.

[fossil frost]

i was being facetious 😛

[alpine gale]

Remember, Excel is a perfectly viable database if you want your business to come crashing down in spectacular fashion. 10/10 would recommend Excel as a CRM. Yup. Definitely. /s

[fossil frost]

tbh, a job a turned down, to go to this job instead, was for a company that is building a competitor to docusign. but it seemed like a super boring project, so i decided against it

[harsh quartz]

Not you

[fossil frost]

that spam? its automated

[restive lion]

Well I rest my case

[spice tide]

hi

[shut osprey]

[spice tide]

linus is it true that all painters are usually sleezy bad dudes? its such a weird stereotype but

i wanna hear more about his painter back story

brothers of the brush

who else used a sock and coat hanger for a pop filter

[harsh quartz]

the sharepoint part had me giggling

[restive lion]

I Don't Have Any Other Tools

Deeply sympathetic. Still have to kill you. I'm so sorry. I really am. I don't do this out of hatred, but out of duty. Someone has to stop you, and I'm sorry that it's me.

[harsh quartz]

do you really think it’s actually fucking temporary

[cerulean canopy]

ticket be like:
PC is very slow when i work on some excel files
inb4: 200mb excel file

[polar fern]

directions unclear, arrives at the langley house

[lucid hound]

dunno if this a place to ask but
for tomb raider, would the game run potentially better on gba if rewritten into assembly?

[polar fern]

sounds like a forums question

[alpine gale]

Sure, maybe. Who knows? Likely a question for #development, assuming anyone here even knows about how Assembly works on the Game Boy Advance system.

[polar fern]

dang, no soundcloud intergration for twitch

erm discord

[alpine gale]

Seems to work for me still... Maybe it's a desktop only thing?

[polar fern]

oh i mean the status

like what track i am listening to

[alpine gale]

Ohhhh media integration. Don't think this is possible since SoundCloud doesn't have a native media player, and Discord would have to build the integration with SoundCloud for it to work like Spotify does.
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000997142-SoundCloud-Connection

Looks like there are third party media player integrations though.

If I ever get enough disposable income, I’d still like to get a firebird. Unfortunately by the time I get disposable income, there probably won’t be any left :p

[alpine gale]

SAME! I tell ya, if the keys were in this at the car show and someone else drove my SubUwU home...

[harsh quartz]

Not digging the blue but… that can always be changed >:)

[pliant karma]

Feel ya in the back of my mind I have that itch for the Trans Am WS6 lol.

[harsh quartz]

Could get one of the catfish Camaros, they look close enough

Honestly peak would be either a c2 or c3 stingray though, always love the look of them things

[pliant karma]

Tis dreams for now, one day.

[harsh quartz]

Ye

Also just in case the catfish Camaro isn’t known

[pliant karma]

Cute front ngl. Lol out of my friend group, it's just me and someone else that are into cars .

[harsh quartz]

I grew up with a car dad but not as a car kid, so I’m like halfway in halfway out? Went to car shows but never worked on cars, and no one in our group is a car person, they’re all good ole truck boys though

[pliant karma]

Wishing my friend some luck atm since his dad just got a 2019 Ecoboost Mustang with a salvaged title.

[harsh quartz]

3 days to pole

[winged spire]

glad we dont have front plates here

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never understood the appeal of fords, especially the mustang

Before 2000, sure they were decent, but now they’re not, and they’re not even unique looking, and people still just love the things

[pliant karma]

Never really liked them in general well minus the focus rs.

And the Flex being a sleeper in disguise.

[harsh quartz]

But why not a Camry or something instead?

[pliant karma]

I don't mind those either.

the TRD Camry was on my list till they stopped making it lol

[harsh quartz]

Yeah idk why Toyota keeps changing all their models

They introduce like 5 new models a year and they don’t stick around

Although the new land cruisers look clean as hell

Hopefully I get to test drive the new rav4 soon, had an older one as a rental, but do wanna try it out. Since my mom for whatever reason wants one lol.

[harsh quartz]

My daily driver is a 2017 rav4 and I love the thing, my next car will probably be another one (or maybe a subuwu)

[pliant karma]

Still daily my parents 07 corolla, but she's a workhorse with life still left to spare till I graduate lol

[harsh quartz]

That’s what they’re for, mines at 165k miles and still going strong

[pliant karma]

Replaced the starter when it died around 180k miles

good old jab with a screwdriver and it was able to limp home and stay grounded for a week until the new part arrived

[harsh quartz]

Only major maintenance I’ve had to do was the front CV axels, but this car was used when I got it in 2021, and they had 115k miles on her already, and hadn’t taken good care of it, so I had to play catchup with the maintenance, but since we got her caught up, she’s been running great

[pliant karma]

noice

[harsh quartz]

Everything else has been normal wear and tear, batteries and wipers and TPMs sensors and such

[pliant karma]

Ours was basically brand new, single owner all these years.

No major accidents

Minus paint trades with dumb people that can't drive in parking lots.

[harsh quartz]

That’s the way to go if you can, I didn’t really have a choice cause it was pandemic and I had little moneys
