Soichi Terada- Apparently a big name in the 90s House scene in Japan. Seen his style also described as Jungle or DnB. Mostly known outside of that (if at all) for doing the OSTs for Ape Escape and Ape Escape 3.
I grew up with Ape Escape as one of my formative gaming memories, and finding that the music was an entire style was awesome. I cannot express how much I love this artist. There's chill if I need it, energetizing if I need it, repetitive enough to just "zone out" if I need something to quiet my mind.
Some good non-Ape Escape stuff of his:
- Asakusa Light, his most recent album, laid back/chill stuff.
- Grand Senshuraku, from his Sumo Jungle album, more middle ground.
- Acid Face EP (more energetic).
Revanced Extended was created by someone who was contributing to the main Revanced project. It was made as a test bed for new patches and a place for some patches they didn't think would get accepted into the main Revanced project. That's where it branched off.
After a while they stopped maintaining their own Revanced Extended patch manager separate from Revanced and just had users point Revanced Manager at their Revanced Extended patches in order to use Extended.
Then a little while later they after that they got most of their patches into the main Revanced project (folded back into the main thing).
They then stopped maintaining Revanced Extended as a separate thing, but they still contribute to the main revanced project.
Granted, this is all info that's a few years old. Might be out of date or misremembering things.
Revanced extended folded back into revanced last I heard. But yeah, Smarttube is kind of like that for Android TV boxes/dongles.
No, but Microsoft bought Mojang out 12 years ago, and Microsoft gonna Microsoft.
Here it is. I was wondering why you were so fucking adamant about this.
It's because you think that someone sharing an image of a meal they enjoyed (or they think looks good) is somehow an attempt to convert people or some form of evangelizing. Holy shit that is a toxic as fuck take, and I can't engage with it in good faith.
I don't look at an image of someone's salad, bean burrito, veggie stir fry, tofu dish, etc and think that's someone trying to make me vegetarian or vegan. That's fucking unhinged. It's just somebody trying to share something they enjoyed. If it's not my jam it's not my jam. I'm not going to be offended by it unless it's a friend who's been told repeatedly it's not my thing and they're still sending it directly to me (group chats don't count).
If we weren't this deep into the comment thread I would legitimately think you were shitposting.
Congrats, you win I guess. Your frustration with meat eaters is 100% justified, and you've scientifically proven that no vegetarians or vegans have ever once been annoying evangelists to the people around them, despite all evidence to the contrary. I especially liked how you compared meat eaters sharing pictures of their meat based meals to people wanting to supress LGBT representation. That's such an amazing masterstroke of logic and philosophy that it's changed my entire worldview!
You've spent 5 hours now raging against this "mistake".
A mistake that you didn't realize is only rolled out on their testing instance.
You have more than one dev stating they are aware of it and it's on the list to be addressed later, despite claiming you had no way of knowing that. You do as of a decent number of hours ago.
You have another dev stating that this thing you think is a horrible development failure would require DB access to exploit in the way you hypothesized. Together with this only being in the bleeding edge test instance, this invalidates the overwhelming majority of your complaints.
And then you have the sheer balls to tell another commenter their comment was worthless, as it was too much speculation? Your entire fucking thrust is based off not just speculation, but a critical misunderstanding of the situation.
If you have the development background you claim, go make a fucking pull request. I normally hate that sort of shit, but after you've pulled the shit you've pulled in these comments, throwing your dick around like some sort of hotshot?
Put your money where your mouth is.
I've only got ten years experience, mostly in IT infrastructure admin/engineering, but one of the biggest lessons I learned early was to save my criticism until I actually understood what was going on. Another big one was to just not be a dick bag. And to apologize instead of doubling down when I was shown I was wrong.
I guarantee that if you bring this kind of attitude to work, the only reason you've lasted is because you're on a large team. You'd be out in the first month at any of the (smaller) places I've worked.
Interior doors are piss easy to take down/put up unless you fucked up the frame. Why would you pay someone to do that?
Likewise, anyone saying something about "omnivores"/"carnivores" etc can only go off of who opened their mouths to them.
Again, my point is just as valid as the person saying they've encountered many more non-vegetarians trying to convert people. They don't know how many, who did not bother to share their thoughts with them, they met. By your own words.
If you think it's bullshit, well you said it, not me. I'm not arguing against that. I'm saying that the comment I first replied to is bullshit too, if that's what you want to call it.
I'm not making any judgement on vegetarianism, veganism, or anybody's dietary requirements or choices.
I'm saying that the entirety of "well I've never seen it", "well I have!" is fruitless clashing of anecdotes. It's slightly more wordy "nuh-uh!" "yeah-huh!" except people get reinforcement on whatever they already believed.
And I find it hilarious and somewhat unbelievable that anyone over the age of 21 hasn't met a single vegan that tried to convert people, not even one, but has met multiple non-vegans spamming pictures of meat at vegans to... try and convert them. Are you kidding me? Who the fuck does something like that, it reads like an "and then everybody clapped" story. How the fuck did that get so many upvotes?
I find that only works with workplaces with a reasonable to high amount of turnover.
Like how a show gets boring if the status quo stays for too long, so does workplace drama when nothing changes for years.
My wife's workplace seems to be completely unable to fire anyone, so it's just the same damn "cast" doing the same annoying shit forever. Names have been changed, but these are some "plot points" that have been going on at my wife's work for nearly a decade.
Oh, Larry still hasn't been fired? He was caught using the work machines to pirate shit to sell to other workers when his dumb ass got the network virus'd to shit seven years ago. And nothing fucking happened. Then he got caught trying but failing to do it again three years ago. Then he was caught selling shit he pirated at home a year and a half ago. How many times has he been on his "final warning"? Oh, he's forgotton how to do another one of his core job responsibilities and is trying to make it your problem again? And you've talked to your boss about it again right? Still no clue what blackmail he's got that's kept him employed?
Samantha is still refusing to train you and the rest of the team on the latest process your boss told her to get everyone up to speed on, so she can desperately cling to relevance by continuing to hoard knowledge? Guess she needed to find something new to hoard after you documented out that last process only she knew on your own while she was on vaction and a deadline was about to hit. You've talked to your boss about it again right?
Brandon still thinks he's a full fledged web developer because he changed the text and images on the intranet wordpress site again? It's a shame he hasn't managed to get anyone but your boss to believe that so his dead-weight ass could leave. (Seriously this guy doesn't even handle plugin updates, just copy and pastes what he's told to out of emails and into the site)
Dontrell is still trying to treat you like the department secretary, trying to direct all incoming stuff he doesn't want to do to you? You're still deflecting, pointing him to the team process documents, and CCing your boss for "clarification of team duties"? Guess nothing is changing there.
Review time. So you've got the logs from the two work tracking systems to show that you've handled more shit this year than the rest of your team combined, despite having more responsibilities directly assigned to you right? Just like the last four years? Your boss isn't trusting Brandon to "collect and summarize" those numbers any more right? No, that stopped after you got access and showed her how easy it was for her to check for herself.
You're still on a first name basis with the entire C-Suite, including the CEO that doesn't speak with anyone the few times a year he shows his face? But he made a point of trying to make (stilted) small talk with you this year twice, so that's new!
The CFO and COO got you a sweetheart deal with raise and bonus this year again, so despite how much it all sucks, you are getting recognized. I just wish there was any change at all in the rest of your work situation. And that the sweetheart deal wasn't "you get to barely outpace inflation".
Did the rest of your team try to have a collective meeting with your boss about things and intentionally exclude you this year? No? Well that's a happy change.
All in all, like three whole new things have occurred in the last three years. Blegh.
My entire point is that I see these sorts of "well I've never encountered a proselytizing [insert group here] person, so that means these stereotypes are just mean and based on nothing!" but all it takes is one person to say "Well I have".
Beyond that, my anecdotes are as valid as theirs. Which is to say not worth much at all.
That's fucking terrible.
Unfortunately in my roughly a decade in IT, I've only seen a vendor failing to deliver a core feature tank a contract once. It's completely fucking absurd how many systems/softwares/products are in use because contracts were signed based off specific feature promises, that then were never completed.
Does this shit happen in other industries? I have a hard time imagining some company signing a contract for delivery trucks that for instance, ran on diesel, the truck manufacturer saying they didn't have those yet but would by time of delivery, delivering gas trucks anyway, and the company that ordered them going "Well I guess we'll just suck it up. No need to have legal get a chunk of our money back. No need to stop doing business with that truck manufacturer. We'll just make the fleet mechanics retrofit them with no extra budget, time, or headcount. Let's go do lines in the executive bathroom."
But that's what seems to happen with software products all the fucking time.
If you're into emulation, it's a legitimately good sidescrolling shmup, and if I remember right, the music was great as well.
It's just that absymal translation that launched it into meme status.
I want to be the first, but I am definitely closer to the second. I'm trying to find a reasonable middle ground.
Like, I want to have a nice home network with a proper NAS, Pihole DNS, Plex/Emby/Jellyfin media server, all my music properly tagged, little mediaplayer/emulation/game streaming endpoint boxes on each TV, etc. But I don't have the time or money to do it right at the moment.
So I have my desktop set up to share out my media folders as SMB shares when it's powered on, and I've used a few tools to get my video content organized right for Kodi. I've got Kodi installed as an app on the Xbox Series X plugged into the family room TV. The other TV has a Chromecast dongle with VLC sideloaded and set up to connect to the SMB shares, because I'm too lazy to get my Kodi setup on it. Every room in the house has an ethernet port, and most rooms have a dumb switch so as much hardware can have ethernet connection as possible. I've run my music collection through MusicBrainz Picard, and separated it into a properly tagged and organized folder, and one for stuff that isn't.
The fun thing about anecdotes is that they aren't in any way indicative of the wider world.
Out of all the vegans and vegetarians I've met in my life, I think at best maybe 1/4 didn't spend a protracted amount of time extolling the virtues of their lifestyle. Maybe you don't consider that an attempt to convert, but a lot of people do. Either way it was annoying.
Conversely, I've only ever seen two "omnivores" try to convert someone who wasn't, and it was a one off joke among friends.
You are not the sole beacon of reason sent to save the uneducated. OP isn't some idiot child who needs your ass to guide them out of Plato's cave or some shit.
Microsoft has had a long history of a company culture of "eating their own dog food", forcing themselves to use what they force on users, so they're making the underlings use it at least.
As far as executives go, at almost any sizable company they hardly ever spend time at their computer. Cell phone or tablet, and have their assistant or direct reports do anything more complicated than half paying attention to a meeting.
Lastly, the controls to turn it off will be available to all of us as long as you have a Pro or Enterprise SKU (Windows license/install). They aren't going to fuck over their business customers with the unwanted slop they force on the proles.
Protips:
- Shoot the Cyberdemon until it dies.
- Don't bother with Home SKU Windows, you won't be able to turn dumb shit like this off.
- If you insist on buying your license, buy one from an official OEM key reseller for like 1/10 MSRP. You won't be able to install it on multiple machines, but that and the few other restrictions nearly never matter.
- The better choice is to spoof your license activation using MASgrave. Get Pro for free. It's a community maintained script that will either trick MS's servers into giving you a valid license, or trick your computer into thinking it has one, based on the official tools/processes meant for big business customers.
- If you really want to tinker with the most stripped down official version of Windows, go with the LTSC version. It at least used to be missing some things that the rare game relied on though, so caveat emptor.
I'm sure you could set up containers or VMs for them to run on if you tried.
