Oh, I see. My work only knows I'm done by when I move my tickets to complete on Jira, so I just leave them as in progress until my due date. I work from home, so I just watch TV or play video games while sitting near my work laptop to respond to emails or chat messages in the meantime.

Just don't say you're done with your work.

I already finished all my work for the sprint that ends on Tuesday. It's Thursday at noon currently.

My only complaint about flatpak is that updating them fails like 50% of the time for seemingly no reason, and I just have to run the update command over and over until they are all updated.

You're going to be in San Jose? It's been a few years since I moved out of the area, but I'll do my best. What kind of food are you into? There's unfortunately not a lot of tourism in San Jose, and San Francisco is a bit further than people realize. But San Francisco has tons of things to do and see.

Thank you! I'll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

I have done that before as well. I had a native game that randomly stopped working after a borked update or something. I downloaded the proton version instead, and it worked perfectly.

I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn't impressed at all. It didn't seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.

It was accidental.

So I started working at a startup right after I graduated college. They couldn't pay a competitive wage, so they gave me a ton of stock. A year into working there, about half the company was laid off. I survived. They begged us not to leave the company by giving us more stock. I started interviewing elsewhere, because I have bills to pay, but I never got any other jobs. Then one day they handed me an envelope. It contained paperwork for even more stock. I thought it wasn't going to be worth the paper it was printed on, so I kept looking for other jobs. Never found one.

Well, a few years go by and the company starts doing very well. Then we got bought out. Suddenly all the worthless stock they gave me was worth a fuck ton of money. The buying company bought ALL of it. Even unvested shares. One day they wrote me a really, really big check, then I went and bought a house.

It was absolutely life changing, and I tried to throw it away at every chance I got. I got so lucky.

As a Linux gamer, I run just about everything in wine since proton uses wine.

 

Hi all! I just wanted to highlight a feature that I think is pretty cool that I added to the bot today. I added... drumroll links to the comments/posts from the daily thread! So now if you want to find your favorite team's comment or post, you can click the link next to your team's name and go directly to the place where you can get additional details and stats for the game.

If your account is not on lemmy.ca, this feature won't work with all front ends. But I have tested it and verified that it works with Voyager, mlmym (old.lemmy), and alexandrite, so I would recommend using one of those until the lemmy devs bake this feature into lemmy itself. Most instances support mlmym by adding "old" before the URL. So for example, if your instance is lemmy.world, you could access it with old.lemmy.world. This is the URL for today's daily thread on old.lemmy.world: https://old.lemmy.world/post/7775330

Oh, and today I also fixed an issue with the bot where the daily thread wasn't getting the score and game clock of games anymore.

Just a reminder, I donate my time to developing this bot. It is open source, and you can find the source code on Github here. There is a fund button on github that you can use to donate money for my time. Another reminder, I am an avid Sharks fan, so I am going to need copious amounts of alcohol to get through this season (Ugh, what was that game the other night???????). You can help fund my drinking by donating to me through this bot!

 

Full tweet, since I hit character limit:

The NHL announced the Senators will forfeit a first-round draft pick for their role in the July 2021 trade of Player Evgenii Dadonov from the Senators to the Golden Knights and the subsequent, invalidated March 2022 Dadonov trade between theKnights and the Anaheim

 

...There are more tests being done, and we'll wait for Habs to officially confirm once they're received all the info, but this puts Dach's season at risk if it ends up being the case.
