All of these words yet not a single one mentions what exactly was faulty about the old software. Did it force-eject drivers after "certain limits" were "exceeded"?

Same shit happens on Windows. Games will just install their shit literally all over OS with no rhyme or reason to it.

Why can't the save game and config.ini just be in the main god damn game directory? Nobody knows.

Currently largest and most successful YouTuber on the platform (by a wide margin), started out by doing challenge videos about himself (24h in ice, that kinda stuff) that he'd invite friends to as the goody sidekicks causing mischief and making his challenges a little harder/more interesting.

These days, his stuff has transformed into a media powerhouse, all of it is still kinda falling into a challenge category. Now with far higher stakes and involving other people in competitions against each other - think "kids vs adults - group with most people still in the game after 5 days wins $500k" - where several days (sometimes months) of filming all gets cut down to one 10-20 minute long video.

There's also just "look at this thing" videos like "$1 to $10,000,00 car" where him and his friends check out increasingly expensive cars until they eventually get a whole bridge cordoned off to drive in the most expensive car in the world.

He does some philanthropy, like his "plant 10 million trees" campaign and makes money through sponsorship deals and advertising his own brands - they're currently running their own line of (fair trade?) chocolate bars that are available (in most places?) in the US, which kids will buy because of the brand recognition, leaving them with a ton of profits.

I mean, I think at that point it just becomes noise that you filter out. Ain't nobody looking at their phone for 2000 buzzes every day - when everything's marked important, nothing is important.

But definitely one of the biggest factors that should be considered is how assholeish the community around a particular language is.

I think all of the factors you've mentioned are extremely valid, but this is the one factor that I think should absolutely not count into whether something's a 'good' or 'bad' language. If I'm choosing which technologies to use for my next project, the question of whether it has a rude vocal minority in its community is AS FAR DOWN on my list as possible. Right next to whether its name is hip or whether their homepage is engaging.

It's more likely to be down to incompetence. I can't imagine the party UV lights are more expensive than the fuck-you-up UV lights.

EDIT: Someone else mentioned these might've been used during COVID for sanitation, and are extremely cheap leftover wares now that the pandemic is "over", which would actually make them a lot cheaper.

You absolutely can, but trademarks need to be domain-specific. And the social media platform and the window system don't have much overlap in their respective domains.

Another window system couldn't come along and call itself "X", but a microwave manufacturer very well might be able to.

And wtf is with anaconda3 just permanently changing your "user@machine" terminal prompt?? Who thought that was a good idea?

Happens. Then you come back to it after a few days and all the shitfuckery of last session becomes so damn obvious.

Wär für den Thread hier vllt ganz hilfreich, wenn die Leute sagen würden ob sie aus dem Westen oder dem Osten kommen. Glaube nämlich, Westdeutsche sehen sich viel seltener als solches als Ostdeutsche.

The Russian "justice" system has a conviction rate of 99.3%. It's safe to say they're giving large swathes of completely innocent people the death penalty here - people who are someone's father, child, or friend.

Is that the system you see as exemplary for the west? Are these the Russian family values I'm always hearing so much about?

This is gonna be the death of democracy when political advertising comes into play (as it already has).

"Point this piece of fake news at uneducated 40 year old single parents in " - "point this piece of scientific news reinforcing my party's message at university students who are interested in " and on and on.

My mom gets fake news advertisements on Facebook all the time, occasionally they are political in nature. Platforms aren't doing their due diligence at all, so government must act to restrict the information that can be collected and the specificity of the targeting that may be employed.

Our economies worked in TV times, with broad-stroke advertising - why couldn't they now? We don't need this.

You're telling me Fuckfuckmyfuckingass isn't your NSFW alt account??

Having been on Linux for over a year now, I don't. It's still plagued by instability, weird bugs, and big limitations whenever non-Steam games are involved.

I would strongly assume Protonmail will be doing this automatically soon, there's no manual day-to-day verification necessary.

Writing to the Blockchain is difficult and takes processing power, reading from it is absolutely trivial though.

If I worked a physically intensive job from 8-4 you can be sure as shit I'd be dead asleep by 10pm at the latest.

Absolutely wild take, the two are used in completely different contexts

idk, how do I contact "the community" when I have an issue in the first place? All I know of is StackOverflow, and they're honestly toxic enough to make me never ask questions there in the first place.

At they very least, I think short-distance flights need to be made way more expensive. Like a 70€ minimum ticket price on all flights.

There's no way in hell we're getting through the climate crisis when a German can pay 20€ for a flight to Mallorca and back, but pays 200€ for a train to the other side of the country.

Ah yes, it's far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago... lmao

And yeah, these are unintegrated migrants imported from 2015 onwards, who failed to integrate and now run massively violent, warring gangs that are currently responsible for an unprecedented amount of violent deaths in Sweden's largest cities. Putting our heads in the sand regarding real issues for fear of being racist is what got us here in the first place.

Look at the data, and act, just as Sweden's LEFT-WING government is CURRENTLY doing because the situation has now become untenable.
