No harm in messaging them just to say thank you.

If you’ve just stepped out of uni into an internship you still have a lot to go, but getting through college, uni and into an internship is an achievement in itself. They won’t be disappointed, they will probably be proud that the work they did encouraged you to stay in education for as long as you did!

Honestly at this moment it’s the style they are going for. It’s difficult to describe, it’s kind of old timey tech noir. The base gameplay feels very similar to SMITE.

I’ve got access to the game on steam, the game feels very alpha stage at the moment. There’s already a good roster of characters to choose from and the style is interesting.

Lager people and Betting Shop people are not necessarily bad, refer to the racists currently rioting as Fascists.

Instances are great, but are also a problem for onboarding.

Is there a single point of entry for people now? I can imagine there being a website people could go to that asks a few simple questions and sorts (or load balances) people to certain instances. This would of course need some way for people to transfer their accounts in the future should they not be happy with their instance. Additionally each instance would need to have some kind of API call for the single point of entry to create the accounts You could even have a simple survey to gauge people’s interests to help them in the community filtering process and present the mobile apps that are available.

Just some thoughts of course on how it might be possible to improve the users first experience.

Is the onboarding experience any better? I remember the initial process of joining Lemmy felt very shady and not user friendly. That can be a massive deterrent for people joining. Then on top of that having to filter out all the communities that are not to my taste.

Overall it was a messy non-user friendly experience, but now that I’m here I’m happy.

What’s the most common type of owl in the UK?

The Teat-owl

Given the state the last government was run by Tories, I hope it will be a long time before we see them get into power again.

Why do I see a hint of Patton Oswalt?

The true goal of Brexit, to hoard all our tea 🧐

Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.

Have production costs increased or has marketing/publishing costs gone up dramatically as gaming attempts to get a greater demographic and introduce predatory monetisation methods? Tools and techniques for game development surely improve over time making development easier and more cost effective.

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I’m still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn’t be able to explain why it worked 🤣

Removed double quotes, added single quotes

Not all landlords are scumbags, but there’s a cliche for a reason.

I feel for the teacher, Windows is still the predominant OS that is used by businesses worldwide and it’s unlikely to change any time soon. Ensuring the kids have some familiarity with it is important as when a lot of them go into the workplace their employer isn’t going to give them a choice of OS to use. A number of schools in my country now provide kids with Windows laptops that can be managed through group policies. I can imagine the teacher feeling frustrated at times as their teaching material will be geared to Windows and may face challenges in being able to grade your kid.

It’s great you have given your kid experience in using Linux and that should set them up really well to working in a Linux based environment. Hopefully one day other OS will be added to teacher’s curriculum so that all kids have the opportunity to get hands on experience.

I just need to put this out there, Branston beans are superior to Heinz. The flavour and the bean juice consistency are just so much better, ever had Heinz with a bit of cheddar added and bean like “I much prefer this slightly thicker consistency!”; Well you get that with Branston without the need to add cheese. Also Heinz has this weird metallic tang to it, as if their beans have been floating in their watery bean water for longer than necessary.

Switch to Branston, you won’t regrat it.

Without a doubt, I’m so disappointed with Inkbound following their Early Access, battle pass and trying to shill cosmetics. I was initially excited for it following Monster Train. As it stands I can’t recommend Inkbound and I’ve not got high hopes for its future.
