Finding the right gaming chair
  • At home I have a steelcase leap, it's around $700 new. But I can literally sit in it all day with no issues. To me it's worth it to spend the extra since it's basically where I spend most of my non-working time.

    But for a cheaper option, we have something similar to these at my work (software developer). If I didn't already have a really good chair at home, I would probably get one of these. I can sit in it probably just as much as my one at home, and have no issues. The mesh back actually lets your back breathe, and doesn't retain heat so no back sweat. It's also relatively durable for the mesh and seat area. But mine does have issues after about 2 years of sometimes the gas piston leaks and when you sit down in it, it goes to the lowest setting. I'm sure one day it will finally just always be at the low setting, but luckily, it's not to low for me to work with.

  • A month without EDCing any sort of edged tools...
  • I wonder where things like prybars fit into that. At work, knives are discouraged, so I carry a LNW prybar. If I'm being honest it's probably more functional than a knife for the things I do day to day like cutting tape to open a box, or popping tabs or as a flathead to open something. You know, things you really shouldn't be doing with a knife anyways.

  • Why are Golden Parachutes a thing?
  • There is another aspect, sometimes a CEO is brought on in a knowingly temporary situation. Sometimes a company needs to make an "unpopular" decision, like massive layoffs or restructuring. Or they just need a CEO to come in and stir the pot. They'll bring the CEO in, they'll do their thing, and then once the deed is done, they will "decide it's best to part ways" in some form.

    This sort of CEO position usually is a one and done for that person making them a less desirable candidate for employment in the future, so they get a nice golden parachute to compensate. Basically, they get paid to be the "bad guy" and are essentially selling themselves as a scapegoat for the company.

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social
  • People need to just chill out and touch some grass.

    Like how long have you been on the internet? If the whole federation thing can be bought out by a company and ruined, then it's a failed experiment and we move on to the next thing. It's a tale as old as the internet itself, cool grassroots thing gets popular, sells out, destroys itself, repeat every few years.

    For now, kbin and lemmy are working, but don't think this will last forever or won't get tested. Either the concept is good and it will stand the test of corporate takeover, or it won't and we try something else.

    Weird behavior with "auto media preview", possible security issue.

    There is a thread currently on here that if you have media preview turned on, automatically downloads a file. Thread is Here.

    This could be a huge security issue because if a bad actor put a payload in a file that just auto downloads, some people might just open it not knowing what it is.

    Not sure where to post bugs, so I figured this might be the place for now.

    Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?
  • I wish I could experience no man's sky as it is now with no previous knowledge of it.

    Played it at release and I liked it and played the hell out of it, but now theres so much more going on and I feel like starting it again doesn't have that same luster to it.

  • We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn.
  • I feel like people miss the entire point of nsfw. It is supposed to be so you can have a way to filter everything so you could theoretically not see bad shit on a work computer.

    Nsfw should be a catch all, and almost overly restrictive, that way you can comfortably go to reddit, kbin, Lemmy or whatever on a work computer without fear of bad shit popping up.

  • Donald Trump Just Got Dumped by His Lawyer Again
  • So, I kind of wonder what would happen if nobody was willing to defend him because it seems like every lawyer that reps him either gets charged with crimes, or he is like asking them to do illegal shit.

    Like at some point he just will get a public defender because it's a constitutional right to have a lawyer, but what if he can't even get one of them to rep him because he asks them to lie or break laws for him. How many do you go through before the court is just like, fuck it, you are unrepresentable we gotta move forward with our a lawyer.
