I just take my phone out and look at it. Most establishments won’t give a shit as long as you are still able to be productive. Being said, if its to the point where you are being called out for it, high chance it is impacting work performance. That or you have a really shit manager. I’ve gone through like 6 managers and none of them have ever cared if we occasionally looked at our phone as long as it wasn’t impacting the work environment. The only time they ever address it is when some idiot abuses it or lets it impact work performance. Then they do a workwide broadcast saying “hey remember headphones and phones during work are not allowed” but they then only punish the ones actually failing to get the job done/are actually a problem.

You could probably start taking more bathroom breaks but, that defo won’t gain you any brownie points if anyone else on the team is reliant on you and if noticed you’ll end up higher on the chopping block next time they are looking to hire someone else on, technically this is illegal in the US but, they just find another reason to terminate. If its a manager issue, then I guess just ride it out, those types of managers generally don’t last too long anyway. That or look elsewhere for employment because it sounds like you are in micromanagement hell

I’m glad it worked out! Good on them for replacing the unit as a whole, customer service goes a long way in the industry. I know I likely would have still been with razer if I had the same experiences.

For me, it depends on the context, and how the person responded to the comment.

If the reply had little to no contribution to my comment, that’s whatever I can ignore and move on, but if the reply is a clear “I’m trying to siderail this/ignoring what was actually said” or “I’m attacking you directly instead of the topic at hand” then I’m pretty firm in blocking. I don’t block for disagreement period, it’s when it moves into the unproductive field that I start to ignore or I block.

This is what makes me block usually, a personal attack. Fallacies are hit or miss, I usually use them as an indicator to just disengage cause its not worth the effort, but personal attacks are an immediate yea this isn’t worth it and block

I don’t tend to block unless there was clear malice or it is being done in bad faith. Prime examples of this would be accounts that when I look at their history is almost exclusively argumentative posts(this is generally prompted by another reason), people who do personal attacks instead of standard discussion, and people whom it’s clear that they aren’t trying to add to the conversation, and are trying to derail or push an agenda.

Best of luck, I know razers policy used to be “lol get fucked buy a new one” when it came to replacing dongles, because they use the excuse that each dongle is individually paired to the unit. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

man shit like this makes me glad that my state has a forced warranty on purchases. If my fridge failed after 2 years if I didn’t have that protection I would be livid.

As someone who went through the 12-13 upgrade last week. Do not go directly. I had to rollback twice during the 12-13 upgrade(thank you timeshift) so I couldn’t imagine trying to run an 11-13 upgrade.

I felt this way a few months ago. So many emails.

I do the same thing at mcdonalds. “Will you be using myrewards today?”. It doesn’t matter what you say it won’t help you get your order done any faster

Wouldn’t surprise me if the money pushers decided they didn’t want to have the position anymore when they learned the cost of it. Happens all to frequently. Was the /biggest/ blocker in my old retail job. Store level would open a position, go through the hassle of interviewing or sometimes even having them come in for orientation. Just to have corporate level call in and be like “actually that position/req doesn’t exist anymore figure it out” Which almost always led to the job offer being withdrawn or employee being terminated with no repercussion because they had been there very little.

something like a google voice virtual number, which you can essentially deactivate as soon as you secure a job.

Woah, you separated it already? that’s insane. Defo checking it out! Cheers!

Honestly, this is a really innovative project. I wish it came in an extension because I feel that is likely your biggest bottleneck for getting people to try it. I don’t think many are going to build a browser from source & then port all their stuff over strictly for the integration. Plus it looks like a primary advertisement for it is that integration, but it also disables a lot of the QoL features that FF has that some don’t have any problem with. Like the fact that Sync is removed as a whole is a major dealbreaker for me, as I do like the feature and I am not concerned about the privacy aspects of having it on.

If an extension version ever releases for the lemmy integration though, I would for sure be looking at that!

I believe I tried that as well, but I’ll try it again when I have the chance just in case.

You just answered my question. I was going to ask you earlier and then forgot to hit send. Because I thought plasma actually looked really slick, so I was going to recommend it. Especially with how customizable it is.

The biggest annoyance that was to get used to was the change in overall size of the menu bars, but once you’ve been using Linux for a week or two, it actually hurts your eyes going back onto Windows again.

Of course, your metrics may vary because every person’s situation is different, but I went through my associates and my bachelor’s CIS degree with very minor issues issues., Many colleges will state that it requires windows for the course, but then you’re able to use something like LibreOffice just fine. Like technically, the only course that I ever had to actually use windows for was my Microsoft Office course and that’s self-explanatory of why I needed Windows for that lol

I did try GameScope as well. It launched with it, however, I wasn’t able to actually interact with it(nor was any of the text easily decipherable), but it was my first time trying to use GameScope as well, so I don’t know if I just screwed something up with it, or if it wasn’t compatible. Other games were able to run with the same setup using it, so I figured it just wasn’t compatible.

If it is a system file issue, I’m not sure what it would be because I’ve already tried nuking out the wine and proton versions and reinstalling them and that had zero luck. And I have similar issues between lutris and steam in terms of it as well, and those should use completely separate paths

Thank you for your assistance regardless. And yes, I have noticed indie games ironically do tend to function a lot better than AAA titles, I do play quite a few indie games as well.

I prefer simulation style games but it defo isn’t a hard lock to the genre… I fell into the money trap that is humble bundle choice and every month I end up getting another 7 or 8 games which is why they add up fast, and I accumulate faster than I can play lol. I’ve never been very good at sticking to one game and playing it for an extended period of time.

Also, if you do end up playing Star Citizen again, definitely use the custom wine runner their LUG forum has, it’s one of the few that let’s it through EAC, But where it says to have 32 gigs of native ram, and 8 gigs of swap, definitely bump that up to like 15 gigs minimum of swap because it’s rough and was bottlenecking still at 32 native with 10 gb of SWAP. it’s still laggy as heck, but at least it will be somewhat playable.

anyway thanks again lol happy gaming!
