The best days at work are when the manager/lead are out!

...Preferably both. 😁

8+ year old (I forget how old here) ATH-M50 headphones with soft maroon velour ear cups, and replaced faux leather with real leather on the headband.

Here's the leather mod I did for mine years ago: (see attached image). How's your faux leather holding up, surely deteriorated by now?

Sadly I switched to wireless a long time ago (using Audeze Maxwell now), so I never used my ATH-M50s long enough to need to do this. 😔 But I still have them! Sounds like a fun project.

Curious to see how your mod goes. 👀

How to do what now? 🤔

I know you use automatic postings, this feels like you reposted a Twitter reply of yours, so it lacks context.

That's amazing, thanks for supporting the community!! 🥰

I became a "sponsor" of Rider just yesterday! I think I chose well. 😁

Huge forum post covering Runnables, Tasks, how to set them up in C++. An absolutely fantastic resource.

Or the cheap stuff, which has been my only experience with it. 😇

Spotify Is Forcing Users to Undergo Face Scanning to Access Explicit Content Submit to biometric face scanning or risk your account being deleted, Spotify says, following the enactment of the UK's Online Safety Act.

Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.

Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

My fellow creatives, don't ignore your body giving you warning signs, if you can. As I deal with this eye illness I'm thinking back to when I ignored lesser symptoms of problems in this eye because they'd go away with rest or time. Instead, I should have rushed to get an ophthalmologist appointment.

There are "popcorn" switches that click on the way up as well as down, if you wanted an extra click for your click. 😁Kailh bronze switches.

What did you settle on? I'm using MX Brown because I have to share an office. 😮‍💨

Happy typing!

You should watch the From series next if you loved Lost so much! 🙃

In Palia they finally added Mushroom leather to appease the people not wanting to murder cute fluffy critters. Weirdos. 🙄

Besides the added tool just makes the toolbar cluttered because of the inherent limited space. I can't use it like this, I feel forced to disable it. 😔

Rider IDE main toolbar, everything is spaced out nicely, textfields are juust readable.

Rider IDE main toolbar, source control and project configuration textfields aren't readable only showing a few characters. Tool buttons are hidden like Settings, etc. Removing separators doesn't help, Rider seems to have inherent spacing between left | center | right toolbars.

I want to add EzArgs to @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social toolbar, but on a vertical monitor there's no more toolbar space! It hides tools like Settings, and shrinks textfields.

Rider has inherent space between it's left|center|right toolbars, if I could eliminate, might just work. 🤔 #gamedev problems

I still have to move over my 2fa from Authy to something more open like 2FAS Auth. But I don't want to, too much to move over. 😮‍💨

On July 2nd, Paramount agreed to settle a baseless lawsuit brought against 60 Minutes and CBS News by President Trump for $16 million. On July 15, during a regular show of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Colbert went on-air and called the settlement a “big fat bribe” in exchange for a favorable decision on the proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance, a charge currently under investigation in California. Less than 48 hours later, on July 17, Paramount canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a show currently performing first in its timeslot, giving vague references to the program’s “financial performance” as the only explanation. For ten years, the show has been one of the most successful, beloved and profitable programs on CBS, entertaining an audience of millions on late night television, on streaming services and across social media.

Given Paramount’s recent capitulation to President Trump in the CBS News lawsuit, the Writers Guild of America has significant concerns that The Late Show’s cancelation is a bribe, sacrificing free speech to curry favor with the Trump Administration as the company looks for merger approval. Cancelations are part of the business, but a corporation terminating a show in bad faith due to explicit or implicit political pressure is dangerous and unacceptable in a democratic society. Paramount’s decision comes against a backdrop of relentless attacks on a free press by President Trump, through lawsuits against CBS and ABC, threatened litigation of media organizations with critical coverage and the unconscionable defunding of PBS and NPR.

The Writers Guild of America calls on New York State Attorney General Letitia James, no stranger to prosecuting Trump for illegal business practices, to join California and launch an investigation into potential wrongdoing at Paramount. We call on our elected leaders to hold those responsible to account, to demand answers about why this beloved program was canceled and to assure the public that Colbert and his writers were not censored due to their views or the whims of the President. In the meantime, the Writers Guild of America will support our members at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and across the late-night industry as they speak truth to power and we will explore all potential legal and political avenues to fight for our members in the aftermath of this decision.

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

A lot of people are going to miss the point of CBS canceling Colbert. Yes, he can now launch his own show on a range of different platforms. The message for the rest of us content creators who don't have millions of fans and millions of dollars is that we're at risk of getting booted for our views.

I was hoping to knock out some UE5 anim blueprint work in 10 minutes before my day starts, but it took the editor most of that time just to load. I should look into that. 😅

(I swear this project has very few hard references, I've only been using soft pointers almost everywhere. >.>)

OUCH! Was it worth it?😅

How long will that take to heal, couple weeks? I hope it heals fast!

It really sucks how much the #internet has gone down the drain… Does anyone still know really weird websites to explore? Or interesting niche forums to browse? Does this still exist anywhere at all??
