That sauce looks amazing. Great job!

You can generally tell what way someone leans when they say “Dems” but spell out “Republicans”.

The fact they changed the headline is itself praiseworthy, but the fact it was click bait and sensationalist to begin counters it.

The point about making the older stuff cheaper is something that isn’t mentioned as much as it should be in these debates.

Ultimately even if the older stuff is worse and requires more attention and monitoring (less convenient), it is still better than nothing.

Because sitting presidents never stand behind the American people.

There were still claims of fraud.

Which, let’s be clear, is not an inherently bad thing. Most sane people don’t want to reinvent the wheel. If you have a foundation that works and can easily be built off of in a reusable way the. You ultimately end up saving a lot of time and money.

Now, going back to your dig, it is true that Amazon has too many similar services, a lot of which could have just been an offering under an existing service. If you offer a certification just for memorizing what all of your services do then you may have gone too far.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is a surefire sign they are circling the drain, but I would agree the RTO mandates are vanity decisions. If not the vanity angle it screams that the leadership does not trust their employees or they don’t want to invest in the architecture required to make WFH feasible.

Realistically the mandates are due to tax breaks that the company gets for having a certain number of seats filled each day since these employees have a chance at fueling the local economy by eating out or getting gas.

Either way it is a bad look.

The Linux Argument.

Non-jokes aside, there are multiple names for this. Anecdotal evidence is the primary one while confirmation bias is discarding statements (factual or fictional) that do not align with your vision.

I’ve already been down voted and commented on. No need to start being a snarky asshole. If there is one thing that hasn’t changed since the 90s it is how obnoxious and pretentious Linux users are.

What is the opposite of “don’t dead open inside”? This works both ways.

The biggest hurdle by far is that you need to compile the software you want to use from source more often that is acceptable for the average user. There is also a serious lack of proper hardware driver support.

Linux is way too fragmented and trying to get up and running with basic apps requires way too much technical skill.

I really do hope that SteamOS will finally solve these problems by having the backing of a foundation (company) that has years of UX experience (with multiple failures and successes under their belt) that targets a wide range of audiences. This should give hardware manufacturers confidence that developing drivers for that OS will not be a waste of time.

Alongside this comment was an equally damning comment: “if your past games are competing with your new games then your new games aren’t worth buying in the first place.”

Except it won’t be. The number of people who actually follow their bad practices and care is a rounding error. It was the same with EA and Activision. They treated their customers like scum and people are still on their knees asking for more. It will be no different for Nintendo.

This wouldn’t be the first time the capitalists have taken children hostage for profit, and it won’t be the last.

This guy has tanked all of his previous enterprises due to his poor decision making and lack of knowledge. What in their right minds made them think this would be any different?

Do they…not see the contradiction?

Having high quality parts is one part of the equation. The other part is having good firmware with accurate deadzones. It is impossible to do precision tricks on off brand controllers without adapters.

Light go boing.

The fact I had to use iTunes to put music on my phone and the lack of access to the filesystem were extreme deal breakers for me. There is also the impossible hoops you had to jump through to change ownership of a phone. I gave my mother my old iPhone when I changed to Android and it was impossible to scrub my account from it, even with a factory reset.

The environment felt way too sterile for my liking. It treated me, a legitimate tech savvy user, like a malicious imbecile.

If you are told to vote between a rock and four piles of fresh dog poop you are obviously going to vote for the rock.

The DNC is at fault for making the voters choose between a rock and four piles of fresh dog poop.
