I've been using https://github.com/DimensionDev/Flare to have an everything at once type experience that Openvibe tried and failed at, it has some problems but seems pretty decent

@binkle He probably normally does unless he suddenly gets really busy which he is all the time plus it's quiet enough that I only hear it extremely rarely since 99% of the time it's either off or noise cancelled away

@binkle one of my first days at my current job we went to my supervisor's office where he always has the radio playing in the background, usually some random public talk station. Sometimes when I meet with him over our chat system I can hear the radio go past the noise cancellation
It probably depends on the work, I should try raw dogging my work day once but I'd probably go [mad] from staring at verbose legal documents and academic papers

@binkle they still show up on ublock origin sometimes, it's like a game of whack a mole
I and most other people I work with also listen to stuff to prevent the insanity from seeping in

@azure @cassidyclown does Australia actually export the same amount of oil and (what I assume to be LNG) gas as the UAE? The UAE exports like 20x as much oil while Australia exports like 20x as much LNG but I don't know how the scale and money is different between LNG and oil, I assume oil is way more lucrative

@cassidyclown @azure it is the worst of both worlds, right on Australia. Fantastic job privatising the part that should be public and making public the part that should be private

@waifu @cassidyclown You would think they would care about both cost and quality since minimising the former and maximising the latter would be better both selflessly for the public and selfishly on them (to either get re-elected or keeping their head on their shoulders)

@azure @cassidyclown Superannuation seems to get rid of the positives that a normal pension would have while also adding on the negatives the American system has where it's basically entirely on the employee and usually gets invested in the market which doesn't always go up

@cassidyclown defined benefit plans have a purpose because if left to their own devices people won't save anything for retirement and then when they get old have to work until they die instead of leaving their likely higher level job for someone younger than them
Just letting people pay into it and NOT take money out is just a wealth redistribution but from the young to the old

@cassidyclown Wait they got rid of the pension for younger civil servants? That's beyond retarded and the opposite of what a pension is supposed to be which is something you pay into AND pull out of

@cassidyclown as the resident fed[i] around here I have no idea how governments seem to light money on fire but not actually change anything for the better when the software I'm supposed to use every day has about a 10% chance of just not working
