why does this have so many upvotes? when did a bunch of neets turn this place into linkedin
edit: i just realised you’re all virgins and this is a girl getting a job so you think if you give updoots she’ll hold your hand
A mix between r/UpvotedBecauseOfGirl and r/UpvotedForRepresenationOfWomenExcellenceInSTEM
I never considered it before, but do you think she might? Maybe pat me on the head and call me a good boy?
maybe in the metaverse
Says a lot about you that, of all of her achievements and qualifications, and the fact that she not just revolutionized but practically created the field of consumer-grade wireless VR… you get stuck on her being a woman.
God’s menagerie is vast, but the fences are low.
im not questioning the woman im questioning the number of upvotes for such a boring and meaningless post
Maybe thats fair but now you’re just being an insufferable jerk
that’s kind of my thing, I love bullying you nerds
Then you should really try harder.
My high school bully had more bullying power in their left small toe.
Is “being constantly miserable online” how younglings define “bullying” these days? I apologize, I didn’t know. Could you at least call me fat or make fun of my name or interests? Then maybe I’d feel something other than slightly sorry for you. I don’t want to leave you hanging.
Neat
Nice! 2 hours ago in case anyone was wondering how old the screenshot is.
Thank you!
Social media’s use of time since posting of timestamps is so frustrating.
But that’s perfectly fine if you’re not screen grabbing and posting elsewhere?
no, it’s not just show me the damn time it was posted. I hate when only relative information is given.
So then what you’re saying is it’s not fine. Cause screenshots of Twitter is basically all the internet is these days.
It makes perfect sense when using the website. The problem isn’t the timestamp, it’s the lazy people who share fuzzy inaccessible screenshots instead of links.
Yes, but it makes sense in relation to other posts. It is just frustrating after longer period of time then a few minutes or hours, or when screenshot like this.
The layouts generally have room to state time in relation and the actual time. Even a simple date would be better than only relational. Most hide the real time in a hover over or click on the relational time whoch isn’t captured in a screenshot.
Social media screenshots are so common it is time to update to show both be default.
But then it wouldn’t drive you crazy, and you wouldn’t sign up and find the post just to find out the actual time
And if you don’t make the conversion then that’s basically stealing /s ^but not really, they actually think like this^
I think the compromise is a visual indicator of age - color or an icon indicating recency, in addition to a good old fashioned date timestamp.
I’m not a fan of coloring for age of post. Usually the compromise is, when mouse hover it will show the actual date in a on hover popup. How about when clicking the time it changes to a timestamp (and back) or while mouse is hovering / touching the time it changes on the fly (without any hover tip, Edit: I just realized that most people don’t use a mouse on their phone :D also this would require dynamic changing with JavaScript).
I would so much rather just have a full timestamp. I can do the delta fine myself.
And most of the time I’m just using the delta to get to the timestamp.
I was wondering that!
I thought the Steam Frame was going to be available “soon”, so it came as a bit of a surprise that they just hired someone to work on it.
They did release dramatic updates to the Steam Deck post release. Worked out well for that, no reason they’d stop.
Very cool! You known what would also be cool? Releasing the damn thing!
They have to finish HL3 first so that it has a launch title worthy of a new platform.
Given the current chip market there’d be a 400+ USD upcharge from the previously stated price of “below the (Valve) Index”
Right and in a year it will be outdated + overpriced hardware, rather than just overpriced. Like, steam box haven’t teached you a thing?
I can already run cyberpunk on my pc. I want this so I can now see it in VR in higher quality than my current headset, wirelessly, with a much less bulky format.
It might be outdated, but it won’t be overpriced. Meta made it clear their next headset will not be subsidised. And Pico are saying their next headset will be a Apple Vision Pro competitor.
lol why would you try to compete with something that no one’s buying
So you saying they all will be overpriced? How that contradicts what I just said?
It’s not overpriced if that’s what components and comparable hardware costs now and in the future, it’s just the new normal.
It’s more than good enough for CPU imo but the GPU is going to really struggle. I think though most people just want onboard processing for the foveated streaming support and plan to use it with an actual PC, where I’ve heard the headset is extremely comfortable and lightweight despite what is then an overspecced processor
For standalone it should be faster than a Quest 3, so I think it’s a stretch to call it outdated, it’s still not great though
What’s upcharge? Is that like updog?
I understood that reference
Sort of a synonym for markup, an additional cost on top of the original planned price.
What the fuck is updog?
Fuckin’ not muchdog, what’s up with you?
You’re the best kind of person
Ohhh! I like that!!! Fuck Meta!
She has a lovely smile, I hope she enjoys her time there
She does! She should smile more! /s
What is going on with her cheek? It is swollen and looks like she just had a tooth extracted.
Do you also think her eyes are on the sides like a fucking prey animal?
It is her hair.
I mean, maybe she has? I doubt anyone here knows the answer lmao.
It’s not, everything below her nose is symmetrical. Her hair is covering one side of the top half of her face.That and the light are making the bottom half of that side look bigger.
Ugh, I’m done. I feel gross for nitpicking a woman’s appearance.
I don’t see what the fuss and anger is all about. With ai fakes and distortions everywhere pointing out a problem with a photo shouldn’t be such a big deal.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think your comment specifically was gross. There’s just people who are over analytical and hyper critical about women’s appearance. I felt like I was getting close to that and it gave me the ick.
It’s just the lighting. Don’t overthink it.
Hey, I’ve found the target audience for the DLSS5 instagram filter!
Sometimes people have different faces than everyone else. It happens a lot, actually.
Source?
/s
She’s young and her facial fat hasn’t sagged yet
It’s cool that she was hired. Let’s hope more VR hardware is released from Valve in the near future.
I wish I could have a cool job like that instead of this soul crushing one I’ve ended up with
Jobs at Valve or Meta are very demanding and people can usually only cope with it if your life is your job and the many hours don‘t feel like working. These people are obsessed with what they are doing. It can be very soul crushing if you either loose that passion or want to have a life outside your job (like friends, a romantic partner, a time intensive hobby etc.).
Any source for that?
- Valve handbook (if you read between the lines)
- Working at Valve: ‘A Fearless Adventure’ or ‘Lord of the Flies’?
- Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley
Note: I am not saying this is bad practice. These companies try to offer you the best work environment and a very good salary. If you like working then this right for you and it will not necessarily feel like work. Also things might have changed in the last few years at Meta.
I wish I could have a job…
I’m going on 20 months of unemployment.
My dude, I wish you nothing but the best of luck. It’s hell out there, but don’t let it get to you. You’re worth it and will find what you need.
I love it when people demolish stereotypes. Nice work.
What stereotypes?
Exactly, what stereotypes indeed. Let them rot.
You don’t know any?
That VR sucks maybe?
People with glasses can’t work in VR!
That engineers can’t have awesome style obviously. Too long have we suffered under the burden that we all dress like dweebs, sometimes with a really bad attempt at dressing cool, but here she is actively challenging that stereotype
(But fr I absolutely love the skirt + leather jacket look and am making a note to try it at some point)
That Half Life 3 isn’t coming out
Good for her. And for us!
I am extremely hopeful about steam frame. Wikipedia says it will still run linux.
Eyup. ARM Linux.
This is what actually has me excited over it
If I can somehow afford a Steam Frame down the road, great! The real hype I’m feeling is in knowing we’ll have Linux support for all sorts of mobile devices boosted by the advances they’ll be supporting on the software side
Ofc it’s going to run Linux, it’s default OS is going to be some variant of SteamOS
Lemmy behavioral study, day #1105:
A person does not get crucified for having a blue checkmark if they are a girl engineer.Congratulations to her on getting the job
Good for her. Valve doesn’t run on the same talent recycling process you see in much of the industry. They’re small and retain talent.
I agree with the sentiment, and I’m sure Valve are one of the better companies to work for, so I’m happy for her…
But Valve aren’t small.
They ARE the PC gaming industry. They generate billions in revenue and control something like 75% of the global PC distribution market. I know they keep trying to sell themselves as just a small company, because they’re a small internal team, but I really wish they’d snap out of it and scale up a bit to match their market. Especially when talking about their hardware side. I live in New Zealand, and the number of conversations I’ve had with people who have gone to some pretty extreme lengths to get a hold of Valve hardware is ridiculous. I’m not even talking about the new stuff, I mean the damn Steam Deck. I find it incredibly frustrating to hear people refer to them as a small company. Jolla is a small company. Valve is not.
Anyway, sorry, /rant
Small was in regards to the number of people they employ. Valve runs a lean ship of a few hundred.
Neither Jolla nor Valve are small companies, 200 and 350 (ish) employees respectively. But company size has nothing to do with revenue or profit, it’s literally just people on the payroll and a cutoff of your choosing.
I don’t think it’s really fare to compare the distribution capabilities of a hardware company vs a software/service company, though. And doesn’t this hiring kind of imply they’re expanding their hardware side?
From employee count they both would easily fit the legal US definition of a small business, as that’s usually 500 or fewer, but can be as high as 1500 in some industries, depends what they’d be classified as.
Some are just directly about revenue too, so you could in theory be too big to be a small business even if it’s just a single person - and by that standard, Valve is obviously not fit to be a small business.Whoa, I think in many other countries it’s small upto 50. 500 feels so high - the ceo wouldn’t even know everyone.
