When I started PC gaming long ago, most games with others had voice chat. I could meet people, group up, make friends. Now nobody uses in-game voice. Those friends now have kids and don’t play much. How do you make friends in 2026?10 May 2026 23:32 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljw7f47ik2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3mjf26dgzuc2sIs there a German word that describes realizing that your company / team would be better off if your senior position was eliminated, so that the headcount could be repurposed to hire 2-3 less senior people instead? I am a Staff-level SRE on a team inundated with manual / menial Ops work.13 Apr 2026 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjf26dgzuc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3miicnnpp2c2kSo I give it a month until we see some shit like this get unironically posted by this administration.02 Apr 2026 03:54 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3miicnnpp2c2khttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3migdo6s6bc2hSo Kristi Noem is a piece of shit, but I can’t say I know much about her husband. Other than being married to Kristi, did he do anything to deserve the kink shame going on right now?01 Apr 2026 09:07 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3migdo6s6bc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3mg2cazabck2hSo I know long exposures are nothing new, but it sometimes is still wild to me that you can get pictures like this from a device in your pocket without a tripod. No, this is not daytime.02 Mar 2026 03:19 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg2cazabck2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3mdoj2eemts2pYou know the team is in a shit place when, in response to another departure, you start cracking jokes in your team channel (in front of leadership) about betting on who’s next to go.30 Jan 2026 23:58 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdoj2eemts2phttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3md6roib6tk2hAfter seeing ICE execute another person on the streets, I told my permanent resident partner that I think it’s time we consider buying at least one firearm. She’s 100% against gun ownership so I know how this is going to go, but I’ve never before felt the need to exercise my second amendment rights.24 Jan 2026 17:50 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3md6roib6tk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3mciydcxbg225At this point I am betting on a false flag operation to give the government “justification” to invoke the insurrection act and attempt to use military force on civilians. It’ll be some shit if it’s the “libs” who end up being the ones who need to exercise their second amendment rights…16 Jan 2026 01:50 +0000at://did:plc:wxikukvtjcapoftvbbsyhlia/app.bsky.feed.post/3mciydcxbg225https://bsky.app/profile/t.heckman.io/post/3mbfi3spnl22rRose Bowl flyover?
