  • Yes, thank you I did notice that.

    The comment I was trying to make is that it feels like the comic is trying to make a point of something but I can't tell if it's pro-

    <thing>

    or anti-

    <thing>

    . As in, the depiction of the vidyagam obsessed guy is derogatory and the depiction of the chad-looking guy makes it seem like wanting time for relaxation is a self-failing and that you should aspire to be like the trad family man. All of the things the comic brings up though like the wage-slaving manager, excessive commute, etc are things that are real societal problems and the comic doesn't make fun of those complaints like you'd expect based on the depictions of the characters.

    But I didn't want to write all of that out because it's a comic.

  • I think maybe it'd help if the guy didn't live 40 miles away from work. I'm not at all getting enough relaxation time but still, living a <10min bike ride from my office means I can sneak in some quick gaming on my lunch breaks if I wanted

    Also I have no idea whether this comic is progressive or conservative...

  • Warning all weebs: Kaspersky says hackers are distributing malware via anime girl wallpapers on Steam Workshop's Wallpaper Engine

  • Yeah, obviously my wife who just enjoys having cute interactive wallpapers is a pedo creep, right? It's fucking strange that your mind even goes in that direction

  • I was wondering if you meant the HN comments or the Twitter comments but the answer was both.

  • 100%. Microsoft's whole thing is Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, but they're not immune to it happening to them too. EuroOffice can embrace docx for now but extinguish it later on

  • I think I blocked Don like a year ago. If I click their profile I only see ancient posts, are they still around?

  • Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I know, I just didn't feel like writing an essay nor scaring OP off from programming lol

  • Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

    Jump

  • When I first started programming I was constantly thinking the same thing: should I learn this or that language? Will it be useful or a waste of time?, etc but it really doesn't matter. Nearly every modern language has the same core principles of variables, constants, functions and data structures. Once you've gotten the hang of those ideas then switching languages is just a matter of learning the new syntax which isn't hard when you already know how it's going to work

  • Fifa asks fans mistakenly issued free World Cup tickets to re-buy at full price

  • Were the tickets specifically for the American games? I'm reading the article and can't see anywhere it states the country

  • Get off all social media you can

    This means Lemmy and the greater Fediverse too. It's nice being part of a network of people that share similar views on things but damn this place can be depressing. Kind of just a byproduct from the state of the world but humans weren't designed to be aware of every horrible thing happening on this planet

  • I might be exaggerating a bit but I do hate how limited men's fashion is, especially when you exclude second layers. You can't wear a nice cardigan when it's 30+ degrees out so you're stuck with just a basic t-shirt or collared shirt!

  • I like a good band tshirt or local art graphic tshirt under a nice flannel short aleeve.

    ||that might be my whole wardrobe||

  • Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked

    Jump

  • They implicitly trusted the AI with no guardrails.

    So, Meta released a vulnerability (an incredibly stupid one) and someone took advantage of it to gain access to an account they weren't authorised to access... which is the definition of hacking

  • Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliation

  • I do loosely use stars to gauge how popular a library/framework is before investing a lot of time in it, however, I do also use other metrics like PR count, issues, etc

  • Scientists say they've reversed brain aging with a simple nasal spray

  • I wish there was a good middle ground between clickbait pop science and the raw scientific research paper that has more words and acronyms I don't know than do

  • Astigmatism rage

    Jump

  • I have no sources to back this up but I'd say it's a myth but with a tiny bit of misunderstood truth to it. When I got my lenses for astigmatism, it took a while to get used to them and not feel disoriented and I feel like its because my eyes had been so used to trying to work with the defect that it confused them when suddenly it was corrected.

    It took a month or so for my eyes to stop trying to correct the astigmatism on their own, but now if I switch back to my old lenses, the astigmatism is way worse because my eyes/brain aren't applying their own corrections to it so it's as if my eyes did get worse. So it's sorta true but not really

  • Astigmatism rage

    Jump

  • Oh damn yeah that's pretty similar to me except my optometrists were always really nice. I started wearing glasses a decade ago when my vision was still perfectly good enough to get by without glasses but I wore them anyway just since I liked things being even just a bit clearer.

    You should maybe find a different optometrist and get checked for astigmatism because you can get astigmatism corrective glasses for night driving even if you have otherwise perfect vision
