Is that an ErgoDash? I use the same. Good for people who want a fuller keyboard layout.

Prefer column staggered, but yes they really make you wonder how we got stuck with the dominant keyboard configurations. Typing with linear columns feels way more natural.

Particularly true with birds

I get confused every time I see the word “chuffed” because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

I’d probably prefer parsnips.

LOL, yeah, manufacturers don’t follow this at all.

Investors don’t invest based on the quality of games they put out, they invest on how much profit they make.

Do you really buy stuff based off of steam recommendations to begin with?

The name football comes from the fact that it’s descended from…wait for it…rugby football, a term in wide use in Britain.

What an original joke

Review bombing games that you haven’t played is great! Really useful for people.

“Unpaid work” is pretty much all OSS development. “Here’s a thing I made, anyone can use it for whatever they want as long as they give credit” is a very simple philosophy. Not everybody who works on OSS is opposed to the existence of closed source commercial software, and rather a lot of people don’t like viral licenses like the GPL. Really out of line to call people who contribute their time and effort to making free software available to everyone losers just because you disagree with their choice of license.

“None of this has anything to do with your ability to perform the desired task” is the major flaw in this. Social interaction is a pretty huge part of any job where you work with people, and so-called “chemistry matches” are often rated as the top thing teams are looking for. This is why so many hiring managers will bring in other team members into interviews.

Edit: just because you don’t like this fact doesn’t make it less true. People want to work with other people that they don’t want to strangle.

This seems like complaining that the BSD license does exactly what it intends to do.

I’d say no, knowledge that we will some day die is unique to humans.

They certainly experience ennui though.

I think they’re just saying that hero shooters are a genre that saw a big boom around when overwatch came out but are now no longer trending.

I think the point was, simply, that there was a clear moral path (albeit a difficult one) and he chose…not that. And someone innocent was harmed as a result.

Well…yes, sometimes?

These days it seems like a lot of states are just allowing people to pay a fee to use them, though.

Given how many older windows PCs ended up in botnets, forced automatic updates was probably a good thing.
