Literally as we speak I’m waiting to hear back from QA about a production fix we rushed out at 4:50pm on a Friday. Surely this won’t go terribly

Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst rated film that you love?82·29 days agoTenacious D in The Pick of Destiny It has a 53% on RT which isn’t terrible but it bombed at the box office which it absolutely didn’t deserve
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?2·1 month agoI don’t use a case, pretty much for exactly the same reasons mentioned in the old collegehumor video https://youtu.be/q4yIWg_LElc I gave up using a case several years ago and still have never had an issue
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?4·29 days agoI use a nice handmade wooden desk every day. No idea how old it is but my mom bought it at an antique store in the 70’s, so it could be 80+ years old. And it’s still in fantastic shape!
Edit: I heard back from my mom and she said it’s (supposedly) from the late nineteenth century, so it’s way older than I thought!
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•In how many languages can you count to 10?2·3 months ago8
English (native) Spanish French German Hebrew Mandarin Japanese Finnish
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do rhymes make sense to deaf people?8·6 months agoThat’s not true, you can be legally deaf and still be able to hear (a bit), just like you can be legally blind and still be able to see (a bit)

Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Technology@beehaw.org•Coding whiz had another talent: inappropriate insults • The Register18·10 months agoI’ll save you a click. The story has pretty much nothing to do with the “coding whiz”, just a boring recollection of a guy’s occasional work on a ship. The only reference to the coding whiz’s inappropriate insult was
at work drinks he loudly asked the boss if he was still having an affair with a colleague – in front of the entire office and the boss’s wife, who had come in for the occasion.
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?19·1 year agoI don’t speak French natively but I happen to know their version of lol is “mdr”, short for mort de rire (dying of laughter)
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosted or personal email solutions?English1·1 year agoInteresting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven’t had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration if you want to use anything else. OP, keep that in mind if you’re thinking about Proton!
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosted or personal email solutions?English5·1 year agoJust throwing in my two cents since I just went through this same ordeal: I use Proton, but be aware that you can only use a custom address if you pay for the premium plan which is not crazy cheap. I’ve been pretty happy with their premium plan so far, which includes premium features for mail, calendar, cloud drive, VPN, and password manager, but if I ever decide that I don’t want to keep paying for it, I can always transfer my custom domain to a different provider without needing to update my email.
As for the domain, I went with namecheap. I also have a pretty common name, so the good domains were taken and I had to settle for firstname@lastname.in but I think it’s still pretty easy to remember.
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Banjo-Kazooie Patient Review: A classic in 2023?41·2 years agoIt’s been one of my favorite games since I first played it ~25 years ago, so it makes me so happy to hear that it (mostly) holds up. I have my opinions about Tooie (both good and bad), but I’ll let you form your own opinions about it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Also, it’s too bad they never made a third game. But if they did I can only imagine they would have done something crazy like remove the platforming and added in some vehicle building mechanic. Thank goodness that never happened!
Cowabunghole@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•With a Switch 2 looming, Nintendo is sending out the original with a bangEnglish12·2 years agoIt’s Nintendo, so it will probably be called the New Switch U or something
Nichijou and High Maintenance are two that come to mind. Sort of opposite ends of the spectrum, but both are slice of life shows that are much more about vibes than plot.
Also if you like Home Movies then Dr Katz is a must
