Seriously though we need more software that does not assume constant internet connection. We have probably the worst internet imaginable and having a program which does not cache downloads and does not immediately install everything as soon as it's available basically makes it unusable (looking at you prism launcher)

@doraii depends on a few factors
my desktop has some weighty software and games on it, so I have 1tb local storage and 10tb in a nas for stuff that doesn't need to be accessed particularly quickly

my laptop is more administrative/utilitarian and only has 256gb main disk but whenever I'm online im vpned into my home network and can eventually pull down stuff from the nas if the link allows, though that's usually slow enough that I try to preload whatever thing I'm working on

I expect that most people need even less storage if they are more reliant on cloud services for everything, but the OS itself these days, especially if you're rawdogging windows or something takes up too much space

@roxy another egregious example of forced issues like this is in coerthas where one storybeat tells you to beat up a newt thing in a cave, but it spawns on top of 2 fates that also involve a newt thing

the main story newt requires you to use an item on it to weaken it unless you vastly out level it, while the fates sync your level to ~5 lower than the enemy from the msq

@roxy I think the first time I died in xiv was because a lv 50 a rank huntmark, some crab thing in la noscea had spawned on top of my quest objective, which would be fine if it didn't have literally 40 levels on me

@linkachus17 I wonder sometimes what the process of getting compensation for various bulbs claiming 10 year lifespan or whatnot looks like

presumably only to immediately get rejected for using the wrong kind of light fixture or something

@meeko as per my last email...

Asking for advice: Looking for custom-made wooden canes from Europe

I need to use a cane to navigate through meatspace and a few years ago, after used & worn out perhaps ~5 cheap aluminium canes I decided I wanted a wooden one.

So I bought one at Canemaster in the US. Not exactly cheap, I had to pay import tax and VAT when importing it, but it's of great quality and I bet that cane might outlive me. They are great and gorgeous!

Now I want another cane, but for really obvious political and economic reasons I do not want to buy and import goods from the US. I really prefer a European maker.

So. Does anyone know a company in the European Union who make custom canes, fitted to my body height, made from wood and to my personal preferences?

Boosts appreciated! ty :-)

Got my performance review today.
Positive feedback: literally every member of my team says I'm the best manager they have ever had. I solved multiple long-standing problems the team has been dealing with for years. Team members feel safe to share their struggles, everyone feels empowered, everyone receives valuable feedback.
Negative feedback: I am not enthusiastic enough about AI.
Overall ranking: 3/5.

Anyone hiring for a fully remote team lead?
