  • and turning to speed away.

    It literally is what happened. Whether you assume she was driving at the agent to hurt them or that was the direction to get away. It’s factually true that the distance between the car and the dude was closing hence driving towards.

    I didn’t read that as saying the agent was in danger at all. I read it as someone describing the video I saw. Fuck IcE.

    Edit: Love that this place is a kin to r/conservative in that you all dog pile with downvotes but nobody ever tries to reply to counter your point of view. Just an echo chamber or downvote. Self fellate or pile on. Maybe I’m on the spectrum but it’s pretty hard to fucking say that the car didn’t close the gap between its front and an agent. Just because I don’t like IcE or what they stand for doesn’t mean I’ll abandoned the truth like the conservatives do. Fuck that. I’d rather die than become like the people I despise.

  • No. But as I said my wording was poor. I should have said Nadella made Azure the player it is today and thus how rich Microsoft are.

    That’s not nothing And it shows he makes money for shareholders. Why wouldn’t you want this guy as CEO if that’s your aim.

  • Not correct either. Maybe my wording was poor, several people were there at the start of Azure.

    Nadella is the reason it’s the second largest cloud provider next to AWS.

  • Interesting as the window is the main factor for me in the office. My desk is facing the window, not close to it but it’s there and bright.

    At home, when working from home, most the time, my desk is facing a wall with the window behind me and using closed curtains.

    So what I’m hearing is maybe I’m a little sensible to light and that’s why I leave with headaches? I used to hate driving at night too as all the other lights on cars and stuff are super bright and again I’d get headaches.

  • I don’t hate it but If I work in light mode or have phone in that mode then I will leave the office with a head ache.

    To me with dark mode anything I am reading is light. I am looking for light. In light mode everything is light and you’re looking for the absence of light and I can’t take it. It doesn’t hurt my eyes but it certainly makes me squint more often and then get a headache or worse a migraine.

    I also work with sunglasses in the office as the office itself is too bright.

    I’ve been using computers since the early 90’s and they were always dark mode first. Particularly in jobs with bright text on black.

  • Didn’t he start Azure? Like the reason MS have so much money still.

    At making shareholder value he seems pretty good at that and that’s all that matters.

  • Oh crumbs Biscuit is cute. Happy New Year Biscuit.

  • Nice. Might try that next time I get a cat.

  • How cat choose own name?

  • Sure.

    Total hours of work per week 33, standard in the UK is 37.5 but I have a good boss. I work Monday - Thursday 08:00-16:30 with an unpaid hours break. Friday 09:00-12:00. Tuesday and Thursday are office days, the rest are from home.

    Holidays (vacation) we start with 20 days per year increasing 1 day per year for a maximum of 25 days total.

    Sickness, unlimited within reason but even then it’s unlimited. I’m not happy a lot of the time and so I much have been off sick for 4-5 weeks this year in total and never once been pulled up about it, again my boss is good. Other jobs would typically put you on a development plan if had more than 3 instances of sickness, but even then they would work with you until you got better.

    Healthcare, we live in the Uk. It’s free at point of service as it’s factored into what we pay out of wages.

    Cost of living is quite high but I wouldn’t say worse than the USA. But everything is pretty much 33-50% more expensive than pre covid. Rent is insane.

    I should say that as a software engineer, two years in, that my salary is probably lower than many many companies but for me I like time more than I like money and their is literally never stress at work, it either gets done on time or it doesn’t. We all come first.

  • I’m sorry you have to go through that dude and honestly after reading this it makes me think I have no right to complain, it’s all relative though so I’ll still complain.

    I can’t believe how bad y’all have it over there. I’m hesitant to point out how much better my situation is in the UK as that would be cruel af. But if you’re curious I can highlight the differences between the USA and UK as we have it so much better than this.

  • Saving this for the next time I could you use scathing takedown.

    As the other person says it’s the same with new words and people looking down on the next generation like theirs didn’t do the same. I love that language evolves, always something to learn. Better than shouting at clouds, which should be Lemmy’s tagline.

  • That I have to go to work. Love my job hate the idea of doing it for so long.

  • I’m sorry dude. I guess I’ve never met someone you who is immune from making mistakes.

  • Then proceeded to ask why they’re so stupid still.

  • To be abundantly clear, I think you’re lying or exaggerating as I’ve never heard of such a case, even searching online yields no results for such a thing and even using an LLM confirms it’s nonsense.

    By your logic anybody at an F1 race is leaving with hearing loss. Even taking the loudest exhausts at 100+ decibels it’s the same as power tools, concerts, and motorbikes.

    Perhaps your ears are just weaker than most people’s and it really is an issue for you. 🤷. Going to bed now, hope I don’t wake up.

  • Honestly, I find this incredibly hard to believe. I have been in Manchester City centre Jenson Button was literally driving an F1 car through the built up streets, tens of thousands of people there with no hearing protection listening to a roar order of magnitude louder than after market kit on a regular car.

    Even searching online it seems to get hearing loss or effects from an exhaust you would have to exposed to 85+ decibels for a prolonged period of time. Which doesn’t fit with someone driving past you. Also, my boss has cycled to work for a decade and never had this issue and we have lots of loud cars as I work in a posh area with lots of sports cars.

  • What are you talking about causing hearing damage to people? Literally never heard such a case. Even after doing some searching you would have to be around 85+ Decibels for a prolonged period of time.

    Years ago we have Jenson Button literally driving a F1 car through the streets of Manchester. The sound was like nothing I’ve ever heard and tens of thousands of people where there to enjoy it and I don’t know of a case of hearing damage. So it’s preposterous to claim someone driving past you with a loud exhausts is going to damage your ears. If that’s the case you best stay at home as there are plenty of other loud noises around.

    They’re not banned in the Uk and they would be if they caused issues. They’re the same as motorbikes.

    I can tell you this, I’ve been on this earth for 42 years and been around a lot of people and I have never ever met anybody IRL that mains about loud exhausts.

    You’re going off on me like I have one, I have a stock Mercedes A200d 2020, very quiet. I’m just sticking up for the other dude who wants to enjoy things they like. You sound like my grandma.

    Let’s just agree to disagree and we both fuck off cause honestly I’m not in the mood and frankly you’re boring me.

    The last part said dude isn’t causing hearing damage to people. Get a grip.

  • Nah I don’t think I will you prick.

    Do you need lights on at night hurting the moths?

    What’s in your fridge right now as I’m sure there are things in there that you don’t need and cause harm somewhere on Earth.
