Well they definitely get bigger when the rhythm is right. Do it enough and they can be your weapon of choice.

Cool, I’ma go tell my wife something we disagree on is idiotic and we’ll see how it goes. Should be fine, right? It’s not combative!

What an idiotic comparison.

.

…is incredibly reductive and combative. The world needs less of that, not more.

Be the change, homie.

In any case, do recall that many of us are in enterprise environments where we’re not the only decision makers. Plus, FOSS without reliable support contracts isn’t workable for many use cases. If something in FOSS goes tits up none of my customers will be satisfied with the great discussion I had with the devs about it and how they’ll totally get to it after Furrycon.

You might not be paying for software in money but you’re going to pay for it, one way or another.

Oh God, that’s the “calculating attack vector” face. I bet the tail is twitching.

I got to visit Scotland once and was told in no uncertain terms that we were not to refer to the weather as “cold.”

It might be brisk. It might even be bracing. But never cold. Has to be something to it.

Hah, my mom fell for this shit from letter that circulated around. Dumbest shit ever.

All due to Sodium Erythorbate.

Yes, clearly the only people that don’t like commies are fascists, like all of those people who lived under nominally “communist” regimes. Weird how they developed fascism from the experience.

Italian American Immigrants, sure.

I bet if we mapped out the relationships between various CEOs and boards of directors we could predict these selections rather well…

You really think enough people are going to love doing septic tank maintenance and picking berries and all the other hot, painful, messy shit that people have to do to keep ourselves alive to support that? Because I don’t.

Maybe when we’ve got amazing robots that can do all that I guess, but then we’ve just moved on to robot maintenance and coding. Granted more people will be ok with those tasks, but they call it work because it’s WORK.

“Know who should make big decisions about running our software company? Finance lizards, obviously!”

Pretty sure that’s these people, right?

Edit: Actually this guy signed onto Unity in 2014 Unity was still privately held. It went public in September of 2020. Unity’s founder, David Helgason is still on their board and served as some sort of Senior Executive whatever position at Unity. Dude still has a 4% share of their stock.

So anyway, probably this David Helgason character who hired him. And/or whoever else (including Riccitiello!?) who was on the board at the time.

The relationship between CEOs and boards of directors is so fucked up and incestuous…

In any case and in retrospect, Johnny boy was 100% hired to cue them for up for the eventual IPO and boy did he ever. It’s amazing how fast companies go down hill when they become publicly traded.

Not how Android works, but ok. Android is just an OS. Each specific combo of OS and phone is unique. You can modify Android to the point where it’s a completely different user experience between two implementations nominally using Android.

Maybe you just like iOS, that’s fine, but it’s good to understand why you like it. Personally I’ve been saddled with an iPhone for work and I hate the GUI, but I can appreciate the materials and some design choices.

Kinda looks like she came from a McRib tbh.

YES. MORE.

It’s definitely not human nature and is, instead, an improbably well coordinated conspiracy by a gigantic corporation known for being full of internal conflict over a span of decades to engineer helplessness in users. Whereas we all know that users are normally such resilient, inquisitive souls, more than willing to engage with a piece of technology in order to understand it. Or they were, until Microsoft attacked. Alas, if only it were not for the great evil empire, all would be well. At least this very real conspiracy serves the additional purpose of flattering the community’s vanities and affirming its values as both morally correct and intellectually superior. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

Why can’t steam just allow some games you flag to not announce themselves?

I mean I tried to watch RRR. It was … unintentionally funny. But by all means go on hating popular thing.
