i want and try to be but i don't succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don't succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.

this is the correct response.

get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can't come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.

if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn't just your word vs his.

i think it is incredible how different cooking techniques can completely change tofu and you can do basically anything with it.

i've been making it myself for a couple years and what i make now is worlds better than when i started. recently i had a japanese bbq tofu dish at a restaurant and i legitimately do not think i am capable of preparing tofu like that myself - so cool to know that there is always new ways to enjoy tofu.

your food looks delish btw

always happy to read about someone who wants to try vegan food :)

vegan butter is great - it tastes a little off from dairy butter if you're eating it on its own (also depends on brand, some are way better than others) but it is indistinguishable (to me) in a complete dish or baked good.

all the vegan mayo i've had is a great substitute for cheap storebought mayo, but maybe i've just been getting shitty mayo lol. if you're someone who is into the fancier mayos and/or have made your own at home and know how good that can be, i haven't had any vegan stuff that measures up without additional flavorings. but like another commenter said, you can just mix and match flavors until you get something delicious.

i wouldn't trust a company who would enable this by default to allow users to TRULY completely disable it. much like how you can only opt out of the telemetry options they allow you to.

NICE

you're making me wonder what a whole technomage theme could/would look like

trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)

and there are people who speedrun probably every game you've ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!

how could what they wrote mean genocide?

can you give an example?

i'm genuinely curious because outside of spiritualism type nonsense the information i've found in online and in-person american vegan communities has been pretty solid, and i'd like to know if i've been lied to.

factorio is one of the best automation games ever, and also has just about any quality of life feature you could think to add to a game.

i'm in my first ever modded playthrough with space exploration and i'm blown away by the increase in complexity. the vanilla game is great but the mods are definitely worth trying if you want an exponential jump in complexity.

really wish i wasn't using discord, but i keep in contact with a good number of people on there and less than half of them would even consider switching services/software.

your work is one of those things that so perfectly hits a niche that i love, but because it gets so deep into that niche i dont have anyone irl i can send it to who would really appreciate it lmao.

been battling impostor syndrome for my whole career, and today i learned that one of the new (not new to the field) people on my team doesn't know how to use excel, the thing i spend like 50% of my working hours using.

worrying for my team and maybe the industry, but very comforting personally lol

unfortunately, this person actually works for a different company so i don't see this being effective - it's a joint project contract type deal. i could see this advice being more reasonable in a traditional single-employer working environment though

me too! i stuck with mine quite a bit longer, but it ended up in the box all the same. there are very few good vr games that don't have that tech demo-y format lots of early titles had. and valve's promises of linux support were quite exaggerated, which made playing the couple games i kept coming back to even less convenient or just a worse experience. i stopped playing half life alyx halfway through, and came back and i couldn't get it to run on my linux pc anymore - like, thats the single game/hardware combo valve promised would 100% work on linux.

its kinda sad because i really believed in consumer vr back then, but seeing how the industry has stagnated has shown that either it isn't possible or we aren't ready for cheap, good, open vr. nobody is making good vr games because there are no users and there are no users because its too expensive to get a good vr rig and there are no games.

i've been feeling the same way the last couple weeks. i like lemmy but there's nothing to see here if you don't want to talk about politics or linux, and it exhibits many of the same things i dislike about other social media platforms as well.

its also making me realize that maybe i don't want "reddit when it didn't suck so bad" but rather what would really bring me the happiness i'm seeking in reddit replacements is likely something entirely unrelated to social media.
