Enterprise Resource Planning is the acronym I know. It’s usually used in a company context and is essentially a system that “can do it all” (HR, inventory management, customer relationship management, etc…)

He is. Shoot your shot, kid
If there is an anti-Christ, this dude has to be the closest we’ve got to it
Makes total sense!
Research has been done on how our minds process “gratification” and studies have shown that merely telling others about about what we’re planning to accomplish feels almost exactly the same as actually accomplishing it.
As soon as you get that pat on the back from someone else about the progress you’ve made, your mind feels like it’s received your external reward already, so it doesn’t see a reason why it should continue doing the hard work of creating.
Next time, try intentionally NOT talking with others about a project you’re working on until it’s 100% complete. See if that helps keep you motivated.
Everybody needs a hobby, I guess
We sometimes play an improv game called “1-2-3 WORD”.
The goal is to get 2 players to shout the same word at the same time. Best if played in a group of 3 or more, but the bigger the group, the better.
You start the game someone throwing out a word for inspiration (ex: “pizza”).
To play the game, two players next to each other face each other and simultaneously shout “1-2-3 {WORD}”, where {WORD} is the word/phrase which first comes to mind when each player thinks of the inspiration word (“pizza”).
If the 2 players happen to shout the same {WORD}, the game ends. If the 2 players each say a different {WORD}, play moves clockwise 1 position to the next player and the new inspiration are the {WORDS} which the prior 2 players said. You may not reuse words previously said.
It is a very quick game that can be played on car trips and usually gets a laugh when you finally get a pair that says the same word. It’s also helpful to go AS FAST AS YOU CAN in saying the words. The idea behind the game is to get in sync with the other players so you’re all starting to think alike.
Example: Players - 4 Inspiration word - PIZZA
Player 1 & Player 2 face off: P1 word - “Cheese!” P2 word - “Dominoes!”
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - CHEESE and DOMINOES
P2 word - “Bread sticks!” P3 word - “Board games!” (because “dominoes isnt just a pizza company, it’s also a board game and that very well could be a conclusion someone could draw from the inspiration words)
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - BREADSTICKS and BOARD GAMES
P3 word - “Game night!” P4 word - “Game night!”
Words match, so the game ends!
It usually takes MUCH longer than 3 rounds to match up (unless siblings are facing off - it’s best to separate close friends so the game doesn’t end too early).
Oh nice, thank you. I didn’t realize they were an admin and mod too. I thought just a developer.
What are you implying here? People don’t use Lemmy because of this guy’s politics? Do we know the politics of other developers?
I can’t even imagine the heat generated from charging a battery in 60 seconds. Gonna get branded by my bezel
Look, I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know how this is going to go. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to be a fly on the wall.
That said, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put yourself out there, too. By asking for a dance, you’re communicating “I’m here to have fun”. Try to say that to as many people as you can and you’ll have a blast.
Also, Salsa is so dang easy to do the basic step. 90% of the Latin dances I’ve been to have been just doing the basic step for the whole song and looking at people around me for inspiration of moves to try.
You’re gonna do great.
Just cuz I haven’t played it yet. Feels like I’m not competent to really be able to discuss the game like someone who has.
I shouldn’t be commenting here, but I will. I haven’t played Earthbound yet, but it’s one of the retro games I’m most looking forward to (besides FF6).
The music is so charming and the aesthetic is legendary.
That’s all I’ve got.
Knew a pastor who this happened to. He was adamant that he was part Native American. After a DNA test it turned out he was zero percent Native American.
He was big enough to embrace it, tho
Accepting death isn’t surrender.
I think there’s a chance we’ll see that type of cost-cutting eventually, but the only way I can imagine a pay-per-image model working is if you get unlimited “spins” until you get an image you find acceptable.
At the Occupy meetings, there were no defined leaders, which meant everyone’s voice equally deserved to be heard. As such, people who wanted to speak would generally queue up and then be given a few minutes to address the crowd (which was sometimes in the thousands).
Since PA systems and megaphones were prohibited by police early on (and would often be used as an excuse by police to break up a gathering), Occupy Wall Street gatherings began using the “human microphone” method of making sure speakers were heard.
In short, a speaker’s words would be repeated back by the crowd so that the words of the speaker would project back further in the crowd. With thousands at a gathering, it often took 2-3 waves of repeating the speaker’s words until they reached the back of the group.
If you stood at the right spot, you could kind of hear the sound “roll” back over the crowd. It was a strange feeling of unity to know that everyone at the gathering was truly understanding the speaker, because they weren’t just hearing what was said, but were echoing it back to others.
Here’s a wiki page that talks a bit more about the technique: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microphone
I also remember that the OWS movement had made up some hand gestures which could be used for holding votes among large crowds during their meetings. I can’t recall what they were exactly, but I remember that gaining consensus was important to the group and anyone in the crowd could hold up a “veto” hand signal and be given the ability to address the crowd about why they disagreed.
I was impressed by the creativity of it all.
Always loved this boss. Volvagia was my favorite, but this one was a close second. Hated the dungeon, though.
