On the one hand I imagine they’ve done some kinda analysis on how number go up, on the other it’s hard for me to imagine that the money you spend on paying your employees is better directed towards making everyone frustrated rather than just keeping the store a clean and pleasant place to be in

Actually, that’s an avocado

This is somehow simultaneously incredibly optimistic (no way this happens for at least another hundred years, if ever) and pessimistic (surely we’d do tons of way cooler stuff than Not Believing In Skyman)

The worst part is–it’s really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system’s worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.

Personally I’m in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn’t strictly necessary.

Discord is 1000x worse because entire communities have taken to moving onto there. It’s like the one thing that’s worse than moving everything to Reddit: people using a fancy chat service like a forum. Everything from hardware to games seems to have most of the community on Discord; incredibly unhelpful if I’m trying to troubleshoot something.

“Pet” theory! Because a cat is a pet!

Ha!

surprised they didn’t go with the angle where she’d now be in prison in much of the us

So what if the clock says 4:30 am? It’s the same time in that you’re working the same daylight. All removing it would do for you is change the number on your clock, but for the people who work on set schedules it would change our needing to fuck with our sleep schedules twice a year

I don’t remember anyone saying 10 was worse than 8. Maybe buggier on launch, but stylistically it worked more like 7 than 8 did

It’s usually a video on RedGifs. They intentionally make it difficult to view their videos anywhere but directly on their website. You can view them by opening the link in your browser with the chain icon in the middle.

“Seeing the results among independents and evangelicals” = “I won the debate if you ask people who already support me.”

Just more proof he thinks only the people who agree with him count as people.

Most dogs actually enjoy training. It’s another game! One where they get treats for doing the right thing! My dog actually gets antsy if I don’t have him do any trick routines for a few days.

Edit to say you do you and if your dog and you are happy that’s all that really matters

About as often as they actually release anything

I wouldn’t get too excited. Supposedly the next headset is internally called Deckard, and it’s been “about to release” for like 3 years now? Pretty much everything people think they know about it is conjecture based off code Valve has tucked away in SteamVR; zero public statements of intent.

As for VR on Linux… kinda? I’ve only read terrible things about it online. I have an Index and tried to use it with Mint a few months back, and while it mostly worked without any configuration issues, there was a weird white ring around the edge of the screen that I couldn’t figure out.

They literally already tried and failed with the phoneification of windows when everyone shat on 8. I guess some ahole UI designer still works there and is bitter that people didn’t like their ideas.

Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents’ printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here’s hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).

FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!

I was really hoping the “get a divorce” culture was something that would have stayed with reddit

Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.

On the other hand, it can achieve the exact same thing for people who belong to an irl community that insists on being wrong, allowing them to find better information and a group to validate it. That’s certainly the vision people had of the internet back in the 90s. Too bad it hasn’t been anywhere near as ubiquitously a force of fact-checking as they envisioned back then, but I’d be willing to bet it’s been a stronger positive force than negative.

Other way around. Only 8% have a lower IQ than him.
