Looks like the housing market is going to be better there at least, so you've got that going for you! Hell, maybe they're anticipating an incoming deportation crisis and that's why they're building.

On a more serious note, I do hope nobody will forcefully deport you and that you get to keep on living in the country where you always have and probably plan on continuing to live in. My country suffered through two mass deportation events several decades before I was born and this is STILL affecting families. I don't wish for anyone else to have to go through this.

Should be installing Firefox anyway, otherwise why don't you just use Edge, it's also Chromium...

Unused code is stripped out by the compiler, but will your homemade library properly use all the fancy instruction set extensions for matrices? IIRC it's not as simple as just compiling for the correct microarch. But I could be wrong.

I think it means not round of ammo but round as in a unit of time during which you can shoot. Sounds more reasonable, no?

I'd prefer she didn't come with my car anyway. Wife would have questions and honestly she doesn't seem all that interesting.

Donald Duck however? Yes please

It has Antonio Banderas in it, how could it not be good?

Fun fact: the character of Van Wilder is based on the comedian Bert Kreischer who also went to college for way too many years. You might know him for accidentally joining the Russian mafia

That's not even 50 years ago lmao

I grew up poor. What drift? I grew up on mouse and keyboard because a computer was also useful for schoolwork and it's not like it was a gaming PC anyway, it was really crappy but could play GTA San Andreas at 20 fps.

Keyboard and mouse cost like 5 euros a piece to replace, though I don't believe I ever needed to replace a keyboard.

Yeah I'd much rather take that over any sexuality. It's a much deeper insight into my personality than just "straight".

I am federated with the bear, but not grad. What's going on is thinly veiled celebrations. Plus never have I heard a single one of those people have a bad thing to say about Trump or conservatism.

I'm not too sure most of the people on Hexbear are leftists tbh, I reckon they're fans of authoritarianism more than anything. I even got banned for saying that voting third party (aka not voting against Trump) is pretty much voting for genocide. Of course, they don't see it that way - Biden and Harris are personally killing Palestinians and under Trump this would surely be stopped.

Flanders is a devout Christian, but one that actually follows the teachings so he takes the love thy neighbour part seriously.

I think many of us have noticed the trend that modern tech just... Doesn't make things better. There's little to be excited about, because anything even remotely innovative is going to be filled with tracking, ads, etc.

Let's say you had a bored software engineer or 2 at your disposal and the goal was to improve something you do often, by creating an application or website that isn't owned and enshittified by a megacorp looking to extract maximum short term value - what would your project be? Is it something you'd be willing to pay for, maybe with a free tier available?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm a software engineer and in the current hard-ass market, while I'm lucky enough to have a stable job, I know that experience alone isn't cutting it anymore in the recruitment process. You need to be able to show side projects too. Plus I have an unemployed software engineer friend who also has no interesting projects to show. So if we make any money out of it, that's awesome. If we don't, it's just something for our github accounts. Probably the latter.

PS: Yes, I know this is not a tech community - I want ideas from regular, non-techy people too.

PPS: This doesn't have to be something in your personal life, it could also be something that would help you at work if you had it.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issue of making excuses for everything. I don't just mean excusing your unfinished chores by saying "I have ADHD", I mean excuses and fabrications in general - at work, you might say you're nearly finished with a project, but really you're halfway done at best, at home you might say you couldn't start the dishwasher because of how angry your pregnant wife was at you for choosing the wrong program on the washing machine, so you were scared to start the dishwasher - fully ignoring the fact that you were supposed to start the dishwasher BEFORE even being confronted about the washing machine. The last one is a stupid example, but it happened an hour ago and it's a pattern I hate about myself.

If you've had a similar issue and identified it, what has helped you improve yourself? I may never be perfect to the point I'll get everything done that I need to, but I'd like to at least stop making stupid excuses that just bring up fights that could've been avoided.
