Final fantasy. The controls and camera on oot we’e so annoying I quit after about 30 minutes. That’s not to say ff doesn’t have its own issues with camera and such.

I don’t want to see the EXPLAIN for that query. This person really needs to learn more about sql, I’d wager.

Japan is slowly getting better, but it’s a long road ahead. There are more laws and they’re actually enforcing some of them with regard to harassment and hours worked (a lot of people would clock out and keep working, but they’re trying to make the penalties bit enough to stop it from what I hear. My company is certainly strict about it).

It’d be nice to have european-level vacations before I retire, but that I don’t see happening

Yeah, Google, Meta, Amazon, and probably others really need to get broken up and get proper antitrust treatment. I say this even as someone who holds stock (like a total of 5 shares, so not much) in a couple of those. I used to dream of working at Google as well, but that dream died quite some time ago based on their actions and culture.

Would you like fries with that for only a dollar more?

My main sim is a normal sim. When I travel, I get an esim for that country. My current provider doesn’t so esim or I might consider the opposite

I might finally get a six-pack!

As someone who started in tech support in 2000 and is a software developer now: absolutely not.

I’m in my 40s and basically have two jobs on top of housework. If I do play a retro game, I want things like save states since I’m probably playing more for a nostalgia kick than anything else and want to be able to put it down and pick it up (as well as not have to re-do things in games with save points few and far between).

All I see in the thumbnail is delicious, forbidden makizushi

Nice! Thank you!

I will learn to build a mouse and write my own damn drivers first.

I’m still stuck with Google voice for now

I always said “in GIN icks” (gin like the alcohol) based on someone else’s pronunciation years ago. I never realized it was meant to have anything to do with “engine” as a result.

Every time I think I’ve managed to erase NetWare from my brain, someone has to drag it back up angry fist-shaking

Yeah, I’m generally overseas and many things need a US number for 2fa. It’s the only thing that I still need it for. Translate as well for Japanese.

Not enough info. I live in a place with earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes, and tsunamis so it might be worth it. I also like to take my motorbike to the middle of nowhere sometimes and don’t currently have any other device to contact anyone.

I do Rust and Go and VSCode has been fine for both so far. I put off trying it for ages out of a hatred/distrust of MS products, but I’m quite happy with it.

Good News! Unless something has changed since I worked in healthcare IT, those systems are far too old to be impacted!

I’m half-joking. I don’t know what that kind of equipment runs, but I would guess something embedded. The nuke-med stuff was mostly linux and various lab analyzers were also something embedded though they interface with all sorts of things (which can very well be windows). Pharmaceutical dispensers ran various linux-like OS’s (though I couldn’t even tell you the names anymore). Some medical records stuff was also proprietary, but Windows was replacing most of it near the end of my time.

One place we had ran their keycard system all on a windows 3.1 box still. I don’t doubt some modern systems also are running on Windows which has interesting implications for getting into/out of places.

That said, a lot of that stuff doesn’t touch the outside internet at all unless someone has done something horribly wrong. Medical records systems often do, though (including for billing and insurance stuff).

Doctor’s notes are usually up to the company to decide. There are various insurances and such as well that can kick in for long-term illness. Japan has a program that pays 60% of salary for some period of time, though I don’t know the details.
