The official decree:

“Hear ye, hear ye! It is hereby declared that the illustrious title of Most Qualified Employee, and with it the weighty responsibility of running this corpulent company, shall be passed down to the employee who rises to the occasion like a perfectly baked soufflé and demonstrates the most beefy credentials and chubby qualifications.

To ensure a buttery-smooth transition, we shall evaluate each candidate’s credentials with a fine-tooth comb, weighing their skills and experience like a well-balanced scale. The chosen one must have a talent as rich as double cream, a work ethic as solid as a pound of cheddar, and leadership as commanding as a towering stack of pancakes.

Let it be known that the path to this lofty (and hefty) position is no piece of cake. Candidates must show they’ve got the guts and gristle to handle the job, bringing more to the table than just a meaty resume. They must prove themselves in the frying pan of daily operations, sizzling with the kind of excellence that turns ordinary employees into seasoned pros.

So gird your loins, flex your flab, and prepare to show that you’ve got the chops to take a bite out of the competition. The future of our portly powerhouse depends on it.”

This was exactly my experience as well! The same thing happened with Witcher 3. Sooo much hype but no matter how many times I’ve gone back to it, I just can’t get into it.

Different users would see unique ads. So your ad could be 12 seconds long while my ad is 30 seconds long. A timestamp based skip would no longer work universally.

Thanks for everything you do for us @[email protected] and @[email protected]

Cheers 🥂

I’m a huge fan of the fediverse and I didn’t even get the fed reference haha. A typical user surely wouldn’t get it either!

Not a big fan of the name. Even PixelFeed would make more sense.

I can’t stand the topics you mentioned either and I make a big effort to filter them out whenever possible! There’s a tool called https://siftrss.com/ which can be the middle man between you and your RSS feeds. It allows you to filter out any articles containing black listed keywords which is super handy.

My biggest frustration about modern RSS feeds is that the articles are often incomplete. Some clients are able to get the full feed anyway but it usually results in broken formatting.

Here are my favorite news sources:

You could also skip the movies and go straight to No Mans Sky, the video game.

Vanilla Sky! It’s a truly mind bending movie, with an absolutely perfect soundtrack. I’ve probably seen this movie more than any other. I still find personal meaning in it 20+ years after my first watch as a kid when my older brother decided to see it in the theaters and took me along. I was confused but moved by it and I didn’t know why. Love came after the second watch.

Beautiful! I wish I could hear what it sounds like. Is it clicky?

Unfortunately we live in a timeline where both are true. Windows is bloated trash (that can be tweaked), Mac is a buggy mess with a lack of grid windows (which can also be tweaked).

I really don’t think anyone can generally say that one is better than the other anymore. It really comes down to the individual use case.

If I was I’d be playing the theme song from 28 Days Later in the picture ☺️. Thank you!

imadethis new way of reporting battery life!

That may have been true in the past but these days Windows is bloated trash and has been for a while. I jumped ship when I started getting ads on my lock screen.

I prefer the aesthetics of the classic iPod OS ☺️

Does it still count as “imadeit” if I made it using a hodge podge of other people’s parts? Haha, I ordered the custom shell from eBay ☺️ but it feels very high quality (not 3D printed)

I used a modern 3000mA lithium ion battery which provides about 60 hours of music playback. That’s about 2 hours per day which is much more than I use!

Same, except I turn it into farts.

I helped create life and It was orgasmic!
