… I don’t know what to say.
Here’s a guy that seems to finally start following some of your worldviews. Starts preaching a bit of your gospel, and your first reaction seems to be.
“You’re too slow. You’re clearly fake because a true linux and open source user would’ve sacrificed themselves to a pipeline that did not work for them.”
Why can’t you just be happy and smug right now that a creator has moved away from corporate and into the open source realm?
Because now this stuff is in a better working state.
Linux now supports most video games (successfully played elden ring, drg, and Balatro this weekend) open office is far more reliable.
The options now WORK
Indeed, but sometimes those reasons are legitimately stupid.
Case in point, any call center that wants to optimize handle time. The reason they pick it is because it’s a very easy and straightforward metric to improve.
You just hang up on people. You can make the number go down super easily. Tell them to call back, so they spend two or even three times as long cycling through a new agent each time. Then it’s 3 short 5 to 10 minute calls + time on hold which looks better than one 20 minute call.
I dunno, that doesn’t seem like a cheap boot.
I don’t even think it’s an exclusively male thing. It’s just getting harder and harder to meet people and mingle. Men are just feeling it harder and sooner.
It’s harder to meet people now. I think part of it is:
That people used to be bored. You would make entertainment where you could find it, and two bored people can rapidly get entertained. Now you have a phone that makes you not bored, and de-incentivizes face to face interaction.
There used to be more places where people interacted. Masons, elk lodge, unions, they would often serve alcohol at events, for dirt cheap. They were known as third places, somewhere other than work and home. One thing I hear from a lot of smokers is that the smoking areas are where people hang out to talk, and they do. It’s where conversations happen at a club. It gives you something to do when you’re not talking, a reason to stand somewhere close to people, and a perfect excuse to jump into a conversation. It’s kinda infuriating that it also shaves two minutes off your life -_-.
People have less time. Younger generations are working multiple jobs, gigs with unpredictable hours, often times having commutes of an hour which turns a 9 to 5 into an 8 to 6, and spending all their vacation hours on the shit that has to be done on a weekday like the DMV or the like. How are you supposed to make a friend when schedules differ so much that a spreadsheet is required to make it work?
Sadly it was only 4 years ago. But Iowa does feel like that sometimes.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I’ve ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
On the bright side, centrists are getting split between Biden and Kamala.
Let them bicker amongst themselves for once. The rest of us can unite for once.
… Ok well here’s the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

And here’s a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

You’ll notice. There isn’t one.
So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.
seriously… did you watch the video?

Here. Here’s a link to the exact moment that entire chapter starts.
I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask either, but from what I understand, Valve is incredibly libertarian, like more than the libertarian party libertarian. Their politics and policies are freedom freedom freedom, and any form of regulation is sheer anathema to them.
So one year my sister an I save up for a game cube. We had Kirby air ride, a few controllers, a few Zelda games, we were happy campers.
Christmas rolls around and the first thing I unwrap for christmas? Halo: Combat Evolved.
We’re good sports about it, everybody makes mistakes, second and third gifts? two xbox controllers.
the morning continued, memory cards, some xbox party game, the works.
right at the end, the SOB reveals he won an xbox in a raffle.
happy ending, but god damn that was an awkward Christmas start
ah, that makes far more sense.
I was half expecting a ton of upvotes and no comments.
… Is that an AI generated thing or an actual physical item?
I love the gag, but if someone actually made it I assume it has an actual use and the things that come to mind that would fit in that hole frighten me.
I mean, that was my first thought… but would there be a measurable difference?
I mean lets be clear, with a fan you’re adding like 8 mph to something going 299,792,458 meters per second. You won’t notice anything.
But like, vacuum vs glass vs glass moving half the speed of light, could be an interesting what if. Relativity is always where my mind glosses over in physics.
I mean… easiest way to tackle this is to name the novel and let us judge.
In all seriousness though. Going viral has precious little to do with quality. It all boils down to luck. I do cosplay, I have a set of LED eyes that I have full control over, I can emote so well I put a vtuber to shame, and this is real life before your eyes. I’ll run around as the black mage from ff1
Took 5 years to go viral on Twitter and get an article written on adafruit. Go to any con and you’ll see comics and books trying to sell out of booths. Have you ever purchased one on a whim? Or do you just walk by?
I mean, yeah, but we aren’t doing much to prepare. With covid we had mask shortages, ventilator shortages, with a for profit Healthcare system the incentives to have more than you need are low. Even now a hurricane has given us an IV fluid shortage because it’s all built in one place.
I know we’re paying attention to emerging viruses but when it finally happens are we just gonna watch a train wreck in slow motion? You think this doge committee is going to maintain that?
How come nobody wanted to talk about that during the election? What did we learn from covid and how should we react next time?
I was literally just thinking that.
If we get ANOTHER pandemic after putting absolutely no effort in improving world healthcare… God that’d be so depressing.
Yeah, both ties are too high, definitely prefer the bow tie though.
