I have alternated over the years due to having various injuries and it’s made me change how I do it. Socks however have never changed.


As a Canadian, what I saw in that half time show and the few things I’ve seen him say elsewhere indicate he has displayed the values and mentality that I was told while growing up that America is all about. These values are not what I see perpetuated by a large portion of the American population.
While I may be wrong it sort of looks like Control.


Ahh I see sex ed paying off.
I can and will terminal things, but the GUI is there so why not?
I tried pidgin and it didn’t land with me. I always went back to Trillian.
Lmao that is the exact program that came to mind.
It dips when you’re sick, it will dip further when half of a department is sick. It’s better to protect everybody else and take a hit for a day or two than spend weeks with people passing around an illness back and forth with reduced productivity.


To think they weren’t already doing that is naive. They hold a lot of liability hosting the amount of data they do, and that’s without the obvious gain they’d have selling data.


I like the look of these but I would much rather to not use Android again. It appears that they’re trying to port Ubuntu Touch over and the Postmarket wiki shows some functionality is not all there. Interesting to see this coming along though.
Unfortunately they won’t see the consequences either because everyone will get sick and keep coming in, when the owner(s) can just dip out and take a personal day.
I am getting flashbacks of the mid-2000’s IM landscape. Soon we’ll be using 10 services bundled into some hackjob app that doesn’t support all of the features but keeps the chats in one place.
Discord is a communications platform with tacked on features that resemble forums mostly as a means of organization. It’s not a KB or repository under any circumstances outside of misuse, so why would it have to be good at being searched/indexed?


Yes but a lot of the things that frustrate people coming from Windows to Mac are because a Microsoft patented functionality to Windows that Apple had back in the 90’s.
MacOS has a different methodology but the idea is most applications do things the exact same way every time, the menu at the top is standardized across software. Take some time to familiarize yourself with basic usage and then just fire up a new program and you’ll see what I mean. Keyboard shortcuts in apps are always the same for the same function. They’re easily accessible. Alt+f4 is fucking not, command+q is. Command+space to search for anything. That existed before MS implemented search in the taskbar. It’s got its ups and downs, but the OS is really tailored to make things accessible.
The reason it’s so wildly different from windows is partly due to a Microsoft going patent crazy on design and ui elements to try and monopolize home computing. Technically a “desktop” is their patent, which is why it’s called a workspace in every other OS. They also have been sued by Microsoft in the past over UX things.
I don’t understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making “features” opt in. Fedora has been toying with adding AI, and my experiences with Arch have been subpar for my needs. I’m kinda at the point in my life where I don’t care as long as the OS works. They’re all so similar at the end of the day, they help me do the websites, work tools and vidya gaems.
DLSS - a solution devised by moronic suits to solve a problem other moronic suits created.
I miss when video games were made so we could experience the vision of the developers. I also miss when the games made were optimized (at least somewhat) for the user experience and not cranked out sloppily for investors.
