Protip: don't scribble shit out in screenshots. Too easy for people to figure out what's underneath. Put filled in rectangles over whatever you don't want people to see so there's nothing that shows through. Most built in photo editors on phones have this functionality.

Estimates from earlier this year are that they spend $2.35 for every $1 they make.

Man, he still isn't over how Thiel snubbed him with Paypal and how his original "x.com" online bank idea failed, is he?

For additional context, this was not a choice, but a requirement. The Linux Foundation is US based, and Torvalds is a US citizen. This was required due to current US sanctions against Russia, and was not just some sort of "Russia bad" thing from Torvalds that a lot of people are framing it as.

Sorry to break it to you, but this has been the state of games purchasing/preservation since at least the 90s. Check instruction manuals for old cartridge games, most have disclaimers in the back that you only purchased a license.

The bright side is that despite all of that, games preservation is still going quite strong. Just through piracy and not entirely legal means. This really doesn't change anything, except online only games won't be as easy to preserve as people had hoped. This isn't a step back in any way. It's just a confirmation that things are still what they have been for decades.

If you like hacknet, you should give Uplink a try sometime. It's the inspiration for the series, and a wonderfully immersive hacking game.

There's also a modern UI mod for it.

The only one here so far not likely to immediately get you in trouble is the one about setting calendar reminders. By default, everyone with access to the event gets the alert with the event reminder.

Also, just being stupidly stringent with your time logging. 10:03-10:17 Gas, 8.9gal, $XX.XX to start pushing for (increased) mileage compensation.

Log every minute you go over time. It's a wonderful way to make managers twitchy.

Also, there are certain things you could reasonably expect them to want logged with this that legally they are not allowed to ask for. Not "Took a big fat steamer", what are you, 12? But "Bathroom" 1:10-1:15, and dare them to challenge it on the record. If they do, take it up the chain "I felt pressured to include this information in my time logs and now I'm being judged for it". That should raise alarm bells with anyone up above them.

Most of all, chill out. Just keep your shit in order and keep moving on. No reason to jeapordize your employment for pettiness.

Do AI generated images really count?

Skyward Sword too, going back to the Wii era. That was probably just someone at a games store dumping the disc when it was shipped to them before they could legally sell it though.
