Most public service workers who take their job seriously. In my country, those include military personnel, teachers, actually competent politicians

I had a free Google Workspace account used for my family email since the inception of the program. Over a few years it went from free to USD$12 per user, with increasing restrictions put upon it.

From that point onwards, I never trusted any product from Google, and will never consider any in future. It’s a company with no internal consistency, and has the motto of “we will do anything that’s evil if it helps make us look better than Apple”.

Yes I’m still salty about it.

Most recently tho, Netflix.

Ditto, I have to say I’m appalled on a daily basis how software developers I work with are so foreign with the tools they use to earn a living.

Extremely infuriating as well.

Sigh. *Unzips*

Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.

Company hired 5 fresh grass grads, me included. Tasked to build AI products (this was when LLMs were still conceptual Markov chains and ANNs were the shiny new things) and other software products for huge corporations.

Obviously one of the projects failed, regional manager went into a meeting to discuss what to do with the failed project and told the client “we’re not even a software company”.

Started looking for interviews the next day.

Sounds like you’re pretty fanatically rooted in your belief and we’re all slightly different from you 😂

Not 100% sure in the case of Singapore, but the double yellow lines indicate no stopping.

For places where we are allowed to park on the sides of the roads, there are either lot spaces already allocated and drawn out, or there will be no lines painted on the road.

Double yellow lines in the picture here indicates no stopping at all times, so it would be a little pointless to have the curb indicate no parking again.

The curb might just be for visibility, can’t confirm.

The double yellow lines indicate no parking stopping. I think the stripes are mostly for visibility.

Malaysia is a northern neighbouring country of my own. Opinion: what he did was unprofessional, thoughtless, irresponsible and very much a cunt to other performers slated for the 3 day event.

He basically did a hit and run, I wouldn’t give him any props except the word “cunt”.

Malaysia and my country are very similar culturally, and visitors from other countries, y’all can keep your opinion private in your own debates, not in a public event you were hired fore to put spite out there. We have people amongst ourselves to push for change, we don’t need shit stirrers. They did not hire you to raise awareness for the LGBTQ+ community. There are local communities to do that.

Let each country deal with their own shit themselves. Anger rant: How bout 1975 go home and deal with brexit before coming to South East Asia to stir shit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another opinion: How about y’all go build houses and toilets for some uncontacted tribe and force them to change their lifestyles? As absurd as it sounds, that’s exactly what this is. Show why it’s better, don’t come in and say “y’all suck”, jump on a plane and go home. What the hell?

Synology DS920+ or DS1520+, either one.

You’ll find each step of the process mostly handheld with great guides online for pretty much anything you would ever wanna do with a NAS.

Normies (also me) use Gmail, it’s easy when you login to your browser and you’re partially already authenticated everywhere else.

Same goes for android.

XAMPP? I started with that in Secondary School (equivalent to high school)

2008/2009, learnt how to make webpages in school using Dreamweaver, so went home and found out eventually after months of trying, to host my own webpage using XAMPP. That kinda died and turned into a blogspot page instead.

Fast forward to today, piracy, privacy and posterity. Aka, Plex, Adguard and a bunch of tools for storing family photos, documents, ebooks.

Once upon a brighter time, gay was only colloquially used to convey happiness, unrelated to the sexual connotations there is today.

Such a sad time we live in where everything becomes a sensitive topic that can insult and hurt.

To clarify before I get cancelled to oblivion 😂 - you want your diversity, fine with me, good for you, but please there is no need to be a touchy one and reserve a swathe of labels to get insulted by when it can clearly be decided upon context if it was meant to be insulting or not.

Not sure, haven’t been in any that I’ve driven so far. Our cars always have some lag between the latest tech and what’s actually being sold for some reason (tho arguably it’s getting better).

The loudest band so far seems to be the “memes” band.

We started doing so here in Singapore. Even our public busses flash hazard lights twice to convey a thank you sometimes now. In the context of someone giving way to you.

But on a highway when there’s a sudden slowdown in front, we turn on the hazard lights to convey “dude slow down the dude in front is being weird”. Especially useful when there’s torrential downpours.
