The second one, especially, is very pleasing to look at. Were they harvested?

So for your first point, I completely agree. The only time I think I'd be ok with this behavior is if it was at the very end of the page/article (which I'm not sure any of them are). Some are so egregious (especially the websites that have more than one) that I will turn on reader view as a potential mitigation.

As to the second point, I'm pretty sure I've seen options for 'load tabs in the background' in browser settings. It would definitely be worth looking into if that's something that bothers you. Personally, it's a non-issue for my specific circumstances.

Trying to act like it flopped because it's single player... What a joke.

As someone who always thought about getting into gaming as a career, i'm so glad i didn't... it's a shame that game developers are having to suffer through such a toxic industry, and that there aren't more protections in place for these people that create the amazing experiences that we all love so much.

I hope that they are able to find new and better places of employment.

Seriously though, one of my biggest pet peeves is when they get every other aspect of touch-less design correct, and then fail with the door.

He's asking you to open it for him please

Good, then it should die

Obligatory fuck Amazon

Fold that mofo over like a taco and mau down like a champ.

It's Dickey's.

Saved you a click.

I'll go a step further and say only when it's been vetted and discounted on PC.

Made me think of this guy:

Poor ergonomics, huge screen gaps, no monitor arms, no RGB.

The wiring is hidden pretty well though.

Maybe, but take a look at the refurbished/used market first. I got a really decent deal on mine that way, which helps justify it a bit 👍

The internet is neutral.

Corporate social media is definitely toxic.

OP, I'm pretty much the opposite. I like the way Lemmy feels and operates vs. Mastadon (I'm on both though) and so generally spend more time here. I'd like the ability to see what's going on over there, from over here.

I've always been a forums guy.

This seems like a good opportunity to prove the resiliency of the protocol to me.

We will weather this shit.

Can't afford it probably 🤷‍♂️
