I use a nvidia shield with adguard as my duck/dns server to block most of the tracking stuff, if you like android tv it's good.

I have torrented off and on for about 18 years and only recently got invited to a private tracker, it seems like the biggest thing is that your ISP (and sites like I know what you downloaded) won't see them because the groups that watch torrents don't have access.

Funny, I remember being in middle school and getting detention for playing a RS private server called hackscape, clearly I was intending to hack the school.

Meanwhile I found the network drive and constantly deleted a bullys progress in our keyboarding course lmao, they never figured that one out.

Family sharing got a huge upgrade recently too where now only the game you're actually playing is locked instead of your whole library.

It works great for me on wifie 6e, I did have issues using remote play from my PC to my deck until I disabled AX for the 2.4/5ghz networks on my router tho

What is your development environment? by Jakeroxs in c/programming@programming.dev

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Windows, Visual Studio, Telerik (why yes I'm forced to use this for work...)

I got started in dev work recently and have gotten used to this setup, I kinda want to learn vscode and host it on my server or something but I'm not really sure what kind of projects I can work on for myself, also not sure learning another IDE while learning in general is a great idea.

I did a report on this in 5th grade, people thought I was making it up.

I work at a rather large financial corporation, I heard about a "town hall" in another state where one of the questions asked of the CEO was "how do you sleep at night"

Legendary.

What I found more interesting was how many of my coworkers condemned them. I was all about it.

Bit of a HP meme, in the book he asked Harry "calmly" if he put his name in the Goblet of fire, in the movie he very aggressively grabs him and yells at him lol

"they're not doing the traditional things anymore now that they see there's a whole world of people with different traditions and situations" I get theres people who want to keep traditions alive because they're traditions but also... What is really the point?

Idk I'm a traditionless heathen

Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?

Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.

Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.

This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited

Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.
