I’m familiar, and I said nothing about any of that other than that I understood the frustration.

That’s also not the situation of the person I replied to. They thought the correct way to sub for someone in a meeting was to share credentials and log in as the other person.

I was calling out that absymally bad idea, and providing a work around.

To your point, you also shouldn’t be mixing use cases of your devices. You don’t want to end up in some legal shit, or in a data exfiltration investigation.

My personal desktop (and personal laptop when I still used one besides my work one) was a local account, signed into my personal Microsoft account via the browser. That could also work directly signed into the personal account instead of using a local account.

All work stuff stays on work provided hardware, or on a VM. I even spin up a light VM to just open a VPN session so I can remote into work resources. If I had multiple gigs, I’d make separate VMs for them. Personal Microsoft account never fucking touches these.

For elevated access accounts for work: separate browser, separate browser profile, or private browsing mode. Most admin work in Entra is through web portals (or Powershell).

I still can end up with minor issues from stuff like needing to use my admin Entra/Azure account to log into the Microsoft Graph Powershell module, so I end up with two entries in the Entra logon page on the work devices sometimes, but I just select the correct account if I get prompted. If it doesn’t, logout of that specific system/program and select the correct account (which I’m logged into the work machine as). Loss of a few seconds, not this massive issue.

i literally just needed to log in to someone’s account once, for an hour, to substitute for them in one call.

I get your frustration, but that’s a fucking awful choice for a whole bunch of reasons, not only because of Microsoft’s bullshit. You really buried the lede.

Don’t share accounts people!

Have them forward you the meeting invite or reach out to the organizer to call you instead.

And if you fucking insist on logging into someone else’s account again, use Private Browsing mode and the web client of Teams to keep it from touching the rest of the machine. It works fine for audio and video calls.

At any place with a half decent security policy you’d be looking at disciplinary action. At certain workplaces this would be an immediate firing.

We are so far away from a paperclip maximizer scenario that I can’t take anyone concerned about that seriously.

We have nothing even approaching true reasoning, despite all the misuse going on that would indicate otherwise.

Alignment? Takeoff? None of our current technologies under the AI moniker come anywhere remotely close to any reason for concern, and most signs point to us rapidly approaching a wall with our current approaches.

Each new version from the top companies in the space right now has less and less advancement in capability compared to the last, with costs growing at a pace where “exponentially” doesn’t feel like an adequate descriptor.

There’s probably lateral improvements to be made, but outside of taping multiple tools together there’s not much evidence for any more large breakthroughs in capability.

I’m a huge fan of Shout Factory, and I’m at a place in my life where I can generally afford to pay for my media, so I do. I’ll have to look up Arrow.

Voting with your wallet works both ways, and while most of the payment will be eaten by corporate interests at least it signals “I want more of this sort of thing”.

My comment was mainly meant as a response to the statement regarding later seasons of Always Sunny simply not being available to purchase physically. In situations like that, I see no reasonable objection to raising the sails.

May I interest you in the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com wiki/megathread? Yo ho yo ho…

I support creators as I can, but when there’s literally no other option to own it in a way it can’t be just taken from you I don’t feel there’s any strong argument against it.

Really? Did you read the article? The only trashy thing here is the abandoning birth mother and the weird computer generated false name.

The rest of this is a father just trying to get the documents he needs to get his daughter care while he gets the run around from two different state governments.

I can understand where they’re coming from, but the examples given seem particularly… minor?

Not sure if it’s my privilege showing, or the article author chose examples to make this seem goofy.

Sweet! I’m not the only one that’s done game mod as proposal tool!

Her favorite series is Legend of Zelda, and Link to the Past is up towards the top of both of our favorites of the series. I combined a bunch of QoL romhacks for it (CD quality music, bug fixes, day/night cycle, some pallette changes to be more accurate to promo art, quick item swap, etc). Even had to do some minor editing to patches so they didn’t overwrite each other wrong.

Overtop, I did a Link and Zelda swap, so the intro has Zelda rescuing Link. Then a comprehensive run through all the text in-game to swap Link and Zelda (and correct pronouns), and put my name over Link. So now the intro is her rescuing me from the dungeon.

Then the intro ending dialogue dump when you rescue “the princess” was edited to ask her on a date, to a place we tried to go on our first valentine’s day together but turned out to be entirely booked out for the day. Got a do over on that, fancy dinner, then on the way back to her apartment diverted us to the park where we met “to play pokemon go” (an addiction of hers at the time).

She was so into Pokemon that she almost tripped over me kneeling down with the ring.

Yeah, that’s probably the most concise way to state my reaction to this.

This reads like someone called them an NPC and they got big mad about it. Putting this much effort into trying to turn something around on a bully might help you feel better, but you’re putting 10x as much effort into it as they ever did, and they don’t care about your comeback.

You haven’t showed them anything except the insult worked. It got you worked up and that’s all they cared about. The person who “loses” is the one who puts in more effort.

It’s also demonstrating a willful choice to ignore the intended meaning of the insult to try and play a game of technicalities, which is rarely a good look. You can’t “well ackshually” an insult, it just makes you look silly.

It’s not difficult to understand that by calling you an NPC, they don’t mean the well written memorable ones. They mean the oldschool unnamed townsperson who only says one single pre-programmed line.

Most charitably, they’re saying that you’re just reciting a popular opinion and haven’t thought through it yourself. While also dehumanizing you.

Like, if this comeback was maybe 1/3 of the length it wouldn’t be completely awful for online discourse (trying for the last word so shitheel doesn’t think they “won”). That said, the best response is to just… move on with your life.

Someone called you an NPC? They clearly aren’t worth engaging with.

You gotta diversify your Fire Emblem Husbandos. Hector from The Blazing Blade (first English Fire Emblem, I think 7th overall) is GOAT.

Whole great game series out there beyond the edges of Three Houses.

Louis Rossman (the guy pushing this) is also running the consumer rights wiki, has made countless videos on board level repair of Mac devices, and just recently offered a $5000 bounty for jailbreaking a smart thermostat that pushed out an update to lock out owners unless they agree to a $100+ subscription. He’s constantly pushing for self hosting and less big tech reliance, has released a number of guides.

This is just a small side piece in the overall strategy.

Welcome to The WSJ’s breakdown of a CEO’s 55 hour “workweek”:

Given the ridiculous financial gymnastics propping up the AI industry, I’m not sure that “not economically viable” is always a failure state for a business any longer.

Yep! But Control is based off SCP, not the other way around.

Retroarch’s cores are usually multiple revisions behind the standalone versions, as it takes some effort to modify them into cores. The Dolphin core in particular has been pretty notoriously out of date over the years. I would check the Dolphin Wiki entry for the game and see if there’s some settings you need to tweak in the core settings that might be being applied automatically by standalone.

What? They aren’t sentient. They aren’t sociopathic. They can’t do “use of deception”.

These are (absurdly complex) word/phrase/semantic token association engines. They aren’t thinking. They don’t understand true or false.

They’re dangerous and not to be trusted for factual information,but not for anything related to asimov’s law, or whatever you seem to think is going on under the hood.

Holy shit that’s a sneaky one

The faster sail and having the wind automatically change to be the direction you’re sailing are both features I’ve seen people use with randomizer mods for the GC version, but I don’t know if they’re available without randomizing treasures.

In the bloom-ified remaster OP is playing, there is a double speed sail you can get, and once you get the bombs you can fight an optional mini-boss to get the abilty to warp.

Sailing is still monotonous though, if you aren’t in the mood to just vibe to the music.

They also streamlined the section of the game where you have to search high and low for triforce pieces. It was a hell of a slog in the original GC version.

That’s not photoshopped/edited btw. It’s from a song going through all the fingers on our hands. I believe it’s from the first year/season of the show.
