  • it’s more than that Kola, it’s large.

    me and three friends have been spending on average 80 hours each on a space age game together since the expansion released, and we’re currently in the process of getting the third planet (out of five) to produce evenly without getting stuck.

    each planet has basically it’s own tech tree, and you need to re-learn how to build a factory every time because the conditions are so different.

    where we are now, the only resource is “scrap”. building a factory here involves basically running the entire process to build something in reverse, disassembling broken machine parts to extract the components, sorting them, and reusing them in new things. we’re completely swamped in blue circuits, batteries and low density structures, which isn’t much help when you need pipes.

    i don’t know of a single town here that has overhead power lines in populated areas. those are for long-distance transmission only.

    or, okay, i know of one. but that’s because there’s a steel mill and a hydropower plant there, and you don’t wan to bury lines that carry that around of energy.

    meh, i’m ambivalent. s&box will probably be a lot more flexible than gmod due to deeper access and a higher performance language. that will most likely lead to some very high quality mods.

    besides, i was active on the fp forums between 2006 and 2012ish, some people just refused to take money. we asked them for donation links and they said no.

    i can chime in with some actual experience!

    my current problems with KDE are

    • the greeter only accepts my password on the secondary monitor
    • the compositor shuts down whenever something uses the GPU even though the setting is off
    • my primary desktop randomly shunts itself to the right, plopping on top of the desktop on the secondary display and leaving a big black void on half my primary until plasmashell is restarted
    • my panels keep collapsing their content down to the width of a single pixel until i resize them
    • Wayland just crashloops and is completely unusable (no, i don’t have an nvidia card)
    • i still can’t get the acrylic transparency to work :(

    and what’s fun about this is, the issues are so intermittent and random that i never know what i’m going to get on a given day!






  • in the health sector specifically, IT is a mess because you can’t stop people from working or there will be deaths. one thing you should take away from this is that their jobs are important and it is crucial that they can do them. it is your job to support them; anything that stops them doing their job or makes it take longer, even once, is dangerous. improving infra for its own sake is not a good idea because it comes at the risk of peoples lives. the details don’t matter in the face of that.

    if this stresses you out, you can absolutely change jobs. i did.

    if you think you can work within those parameters, and you think you can find ways to improve the system in-place while mitigating the risks, then you will be highly respected.
