Exactly. My family is like “why does this bother you so much? You have a good job, a house a family, great holidays! All of this doesn’t affect you at all!”
“Well yeah, I guess I could just ignore that the world is going to shit and that people less lucky than me are suffering through all of it…”
Windows 11 home costs more than $200???
I can work at my desk using only my laptop. Do I want to, and is it my actual setup? No, and no. My laptop is plugged into my ultra wide screen, my mechanical keyboard and my mouse. That’s what he meant, and that’s what I found interesting.
Yeah, if an app posts any kind of notification it definitely needs background usage permission.
Here you go. My translation of the email :
During the upcoming years we will only make it if we make substantial savings thanks to the European parliament, and if we manage to get additional subsidies.
It’s just not a bookkeeping error, there are internal emails where they state that they wouldn’t be able to keep the lights on without paying their staff with our taxes.
She’s an alt right influencer, so not really surprised about this one.
Look up your phone on dontkillmyapp.com and make sure tailscale is excluded from battery and network “optimization”.
This is the Thought Police, brought to you by the people who invoke 1984 when their putrid opinions get called out on the internet.
Yeah that’s a nice reaction, the other dude wasn’t being a jerk so no need to make him feel bad about it.
Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn’t have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.
He also wrote the PC ports of Elite 1 and 2, which were amongst the most innovative and technically complex games of their time.
Into the breach is so fucking good. It’s like chess but with huge mechas punching the shit out of kaijus.
Former ZA/UM devs.
Now’s the time, seeing how the party is polling right now, they wouldn’t lose much by dissociating from it.
I was a teenager when he released the Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs. It was pretty obvious to me that the more extreme takes were an act. Which is very different from Tate and the like, who claim society lies to men and they are revealing the truth.
Exactly, they’re removing them so they can buy new ones from Elon.
The VBA part of the meme is real, VBA is (was?) localized. Turns out it’s a horrible idea: some keywords are badly translated, some are not. Googling localized error messages is useless, so you need to guess the original error message from the translation. Want to copy/paste a function from SO? Not so fast, you need to translate the keywords first! And the variable names as well while you’re at it.
Ironically, you end up spending a lot of time on translation-related issues. I’ve worked on a french-VBA app, and it was a miserable experience (well, even more miserable than english VBA).
Problem is, all it does is push them in the wrong direction. My father went from “I don’t care about any of this shit” to “what the fuck do you mean I can’t go on my quarterly golf trip??” and on to “Bill Gates murders Indian children with vaccines and also have you heard about RFK Jr?”
Fuck Facebook man…
