Not me, but I started working part time at a Wetherspoons bar in Manchester, UK when I was about 19. Me and this other guy (similar age) started on the same day.

We got on well, and after a few hours we were given a break, he would go first and then I would go second. Before the guy went on his break, he told that he wasn’t going to come back. I was shocked but kinda got it, bar work sucks.

After 15/20 minutes the manager was frantically looking for him, even demanded I tell her where he was, but I just feigned ignorance. Chuckled to myself that this guy had the gall to walk out and not tell anyone.

I worked there for another year, in that time he turned up again with his mates, we both recognised each other immediately. I told him how everyone was pissed at him and that I was jealous. A manager asked if he used to work there, but I feigned ignorance once again 😅.

Companies are so removed from what users want, they only focus on what shareholders want to hear and don’t consider that users will hate it.

I know it’s not an alliance but they’re probably referring to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which is a fair point.

Side note: Russia is the equivalent of Nazi Germany of Europe in 2025. Another reason not to invite them.

It’s an odd comparison, if the Steam Deck had Pokémon, Zelda and Mario etc., then there’d be a reason to compare them like for like.

I only got a £2 million pony farm for my 18th, and I was raised working class so this makes sense…

Is the study going to include Trump? Or is he in denial?

Don’t get me wrong, my opinion is still negative just slightly less negative than yesterday.

Came here to say this. Why do people forget about Ellen Ripley?!?

My opinion of the Pope just went up.

They need to just kick them out at this point. Swap Ukraine for Hungary.

Then come over to Mastodon…

Some companies make it too easy to choose their competitors.

My instincts say 20 Gripens (Sherman v Tiger comes to mind)

Not for 15 years or more…

Can even get it pre-installed with /e/OS to minimise snooping by Google
