How did you find the career you're in? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I was working at a hotel job part time while doing a bachelor's business degree when I finished the exam prep up to a point where I didn't see a benefit and tried out codecademy.

I had an incredibly pure joy of just creating shitty webpages and doing assignments, learned some javascript and then it hit me.

I started a compsci degree, stopped working and got some student loans and overkilled every programming assignment. I basically thought "If programming is the most valuable part, I'm just gonna max it at the cost of everything else" and it was a fantastic choice.

I applied to all the jobs in Iceland, nobody took me in so I started applying to bunch of jobs in all of Europe. Ended up landing my first job in Germany and that's where it my career started.

I'm happy you like it, it's been stuck in my brain for months and I still think it's a bit funny.

I think European Union is weird with some accents. It sounds almost like "Europinyinyinyin"

Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

Nordic countries are the best example. A lot of Europe might fit depending on how low "low social and economic equality" is defined.

In a 2D game Y is up. Going from 2D to 3D would make sense to add another dimension forward to account for depth.

However if you start with a map of a 3D surface then North is Y and East is X you'd add Z to account for elevation like everybody making maps would.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Neon is still alive and well but there's going to be another reference implementation of KDE coming soon so I'm getting worried.

How do I deal with someone who's been shitting in front of my house? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

You could buy a toy camera. Pretty sure most people don't want to shit in front of a camera

Zohran Mamdani hires car-hating activist Ben Furnas for NYC transportation team: ‘War on drivers’ in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Where can I enlist for this war on cars?

Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.

I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions "What about the mobility of seniors?" like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.

There are around 10% more settings. I really like the ones "Automatically save drafts" and "Separate up and down votes"

Werewolf/mafia games, is anyone here able to win them? (lemmy.world)
 

I consistently lose and always fail the vibe checks. I have given up on trying to win and now I sow chaos for fun when people insist on playing them.

It's a fun trick to enjoy the game even if winning is off the table.

Sleeping tricks (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

My current trickbook is basically this:

Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995) (lemmy.world)
 

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

Help wanted: Girlfriend said she was feeling Khorne-y (lemmy.world)
 

So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

Any help very much appreciated.

Activities destroyed when swapping apps HyperOS (lemmy.world)

Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

(I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)
