As a programmer, I consider The User to be the enemy. No matter how thoroughly I seemingly test my code, the second the user gets their hands on it, it breaks left and right from all the crazy shit they do.

The difference this time is that my computer literally can’t run Win 11. I’m not throwing away a perfectly good PC just because of Win 11’s hardware requirements.
Exactly. I cut and paste all the time but I make sure I know what the code is doing first before I actually add the code.
I’m pretty excited about this since Dragon’s Dogma was one of my favorite games.
Another use I haven’t seen mentioned is that it’s good when you only have a single monitor. You can easily use shortcut keys to flip between the desktops. I could have my remote connection to another computer in one desktop and my local stuff in another and easily switch between the two.
Although I haven’t used it since college, I actually liked C++ especially once I understood pointers.
Everyone saying to go to Lemmy after the Reddit thing. I always browsed Reddit through their webpage so the third party app thing didn’t really bother me but I thought the whole Fediverse concept sounded interesting and decided to see what it’s like.
It was awhile ago but I read that a lot of streaming services don’t make a profit and I can understand the logic. With ads, there is a direct link between a show and it’s profits. The more people watch a show, the more people see the ads, the more a company can charge for ads on that show. Without ads it becomes difficult. It doesn’t matter if 100 people watch or a million, the profits are the same.
I feel it’s inevitable that streaming services are going to go back to ads. It’s the better business model.
Chaotic neutral isn’t that bad when you’re doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.
I’ve been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.
I’m really happy to hear about Dishonored 3. It’s one of my favorite series and I replay it regularly.
Unity really messed up this time.
The last time I played I turned the enemies completely off but between trains and the beginning of nuclear power, I got so confused I just quit.
I also turned the mountains off as well. I had enough problems trying to keep the conveyor belts straight without having to deal with building around elevation.
I’ve tried to get into Factorio but my research always progresses faster than I can build things inevitably leading me to get lost. Also, the factory ends up getting too messy so I quit the game.
It’s become a game that sits in my library taunting me.
I had the same thought when the salesman tried to convince me to buy a smart washer and dryer. Why do I need to be able to control them with my smartphone? Someone would still need to be present to load/empty them so then they can also turn it on.
However, I’m quite concerned about firearms being used for their primary purpose: killing people.
That’s where you’re sort of wrong. Their advertised, primary purpose is self defense or hunting depending on the weapon both of which are legal actions. Deliberately using a weapon to commit murder outside of these intended purposes is a misuse of the weapon no different than deliberately using any other item outside of its intended purpose to commit crime.
Edit: this is a simplification of the issue but it’s the basic idea.
I really hope not since I just bought one.
I really like that pachinko analogy. It gets the basic concept across without having to wade into technical descriptions.
Similar situation as me. I haven’t seen a manual transmission since my brother totaled his truck way back in the day.
Mine Bitcoin when it comes out because they actually will become valuable in the future.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?
