Ah I think my comment made in haste was ambiguous. Fortunately I was not cut this time around, I’ve somehow skated by all the firings. I’m actually just clinging on for a few more months then I’m off to Sweden to go back to school. Hoping to actually finish my game dev degree this time around! I do have some school application stuff I would love to have people see though I’ll keep you in mind for that if you are up for it (for a work sample primarily, to get into higher rates schools)

I’ve somehow survived all the firings and restructurings so far. It’s a shit show over here. I’m trying to get through a few more months then I’m off to another country to go back to school

The agonizing hasn’t stopped for me I’ve just gotten used to it as a part of my day to day. It’s wild what they’ve been putting us through we need to unionize

I work for Unity, I’ve been sick for a couple days, this is how I find out lol. It’s a mess here fam any devs reading this just use godot instead

Apparently I can’t even escape my QA job while complaining on the internet lol

I’m not familiar with what you’re talking about. If not m already converting my notes why not just go right to html?

I set up a build server for my obsidian notes. Push changes to GitHub, Jenkins picks it up, turns it into a website, and deploys to another server. I’m running into an issue though the tool I use to turn it into a website is abandoned. Might have to roll my own 😔

I used to work for a university trying to modernize how people got student and financial data. Over half my work was playing politics rooting out people who refused to change and going above their head. We had one guy who didn’t want to update a script on his end to include the bare minimum amount of ‘security’: a hard coded plain text password. It took me months and I had to go to his office to update his script and he complained about it the entire four minutes it took

#3 depends where you are on the hit list I suppose. I’m trans, so I’m well past worry-o-clock and am actively making arrangements to leave the country. Someone like a cishet white male tech worker has a lot less to worry about though

Hopefully not for anything that requires an accurate result…

Honestly I’d probably just give up on technology entirely. Become a hermit carpenter or something

Okay so I wiped the .venv that VSCode made again and this time ran the venv creation using python3 -m venv venv. It’s working with command line now but not within VSCode (running into the same issue that I had before but in reverse, so VSCode isn’t recognizing pip or other installed modules like markdown that I added in command line).

This is starting to feel like maybe a difference in how VSCode handles the virtual environment vs the command line. When I create the venv in one it breaks the other

Edit: Yeah idk what VSCode is up to. I uninstalled, remade the venv with Konsole, and installed PyCharm instead. Commands through Konsole and the PyCharm terminal are all working as expected now.

Thank you for the help!

I’m using Konsole, seems to be the default terminal for me

Thank you for help with what commands to run to get more info. I’ve tried multiple virtual environments each of ones built on the command line and through VSCode and had the same results with each. The current one that I did the cat command on was built with VSCode.

2025 is going to be very difficult for me but it’s hopefully transitory into better stuff. My entire social circle collapsed this year so I’m taking the opportunity to move to Sweden and hopefully go back to school. Don’t have to worry so much about leaving my friends and loved ones behind if I don’t have very many left lol

I think I’ve talked with my sibling twice in the last three years. They’ve gone off the deep end with right wing stuff and I just don’t have the capacity for it. It’s difficult to cut ties but sometimes it’s the way to go

My roommate and I used to date and I’m still in love with them. We’re making it work well but everything is messy

I went through a lot of therapy to get past my fear of telling people I love them and getting broken up with shortly after, the day I was going to tell my now roommate I love them they broke up with me out of nowhere. We didn’t even date that long and the breakup was nearly a year ago and it still hurts. I don’t have many regrets in life but not telling them sooner is one of them

I had lower surgery shortly after they broke up with me. I was so excited to have someone there for me emotionally and physically after surgery. Now I have nobody and I’m scared to have sex. I don’t know how to work past this and therapy hasn’t been helping

I just want to be able to connect with someone without the crushing weight of trust issues around every corner. I miss being with my roommate so much, one of the happiest and most exciting relationships I’ve ever had

Just applied, looks fun!

What’s in the box??

I’d also like to chip in that alcoholism is sneaky. Be careful with drinking
