I feel like the 80s movie does this far better. For all its flaws. It makes an effort to show the emperor and the spacing guild and impress upon the viewer how involved and how powerful (or in the case of the spacing guild, how alien) they

Sort of nuts that it is solely reliant on Microsoft to approve this change. Calls the whole .NET Foundation into question, imo. What good is open source if the sole steward has interests that conflict with the overall well-being of everythi

They even locked the PR for the change to prevent it being discussed. This is disgusting behavior.

This article speaks to my soul. All my life I've been told how intelligent I am. It's been such a massive driver for my own insecurities and fear around anything I do, since my identity is tied up so much in being right and not be

You're not wrong. I guess I'm more annoyed by how widespread it has become to waste whitespace. The new Reddit design is unusable for me because of how much space it wastes. I try it sometimes for a few days, then go back to the o

Interestingly, Apple is moving back towards the old console model. You now have a bespoke CPU/GPU platform from Apple running their own OS. I'd say we're already seeing the performance benefits of owning/designing/d

The fact that this beats AMDs top laptop CPU is actually a huge deal. And that's before considering battery life and thermals. I'll never buy an Apple computer, but I can't help but be impressed with what they've achieve

This is pretty awesome. Thanks for answering my questions, it's been insightful. I've been messing around with Freemind for the past hour and I'm liking this. This has definitely inspired me to experiment with it further.

Can you give examples of what your nodes look like, say in mysqldump? Or maybe a screenshot? It sounds like something I'd like to try. Also, what motivated or inspired you to use Freemind in this fashion?

That's not the point. It's just not sensible to blame this one developer for a horrible environment in which this was the only option aside from getting fired, which is quite onerous a responsibility to put on a single person. Thi

Can you maybe go into a bit more detail about how you use Freemind? It's not something I've heard somebody do before and it sounds interesting.

It implies present tense with "People in present-day". At least that's what confused me. Honestly, I don't care what you think. It confused me. What more do you want from me?

I'm getting these sites with Google too, so I don't think it's just a Brave Search issue.

Weird that their solution was to get rid of the names instead of just using more desserts from other cultures. If they want inclusivity and to bring awareness to other cultures, seems like the best option, no? Now nobody gets to see their f

How about more tweets? The information density on modern everything is utter garbage.

It is interesting, yeah. I had to laugh when I finally "got" it. Sort of makes you think about how our experiences, expectations, etc shape how we interpret even simple things like this.

I know, but your sentence has additional context 1) ruled is in past tense 2) "over territory in" establishing geographical context The title starts with "People in present-day Austria" (implies the people there now) the

It is a confusing title. It took me a good 30 seconds to recognize what was actually meant. I'm not sure how else it could've been expressed though. I think it just took a while to connect "people in present day Austria&quo

Beautiful? No, fucking awful. How can you consider this a good thing when there's no way to teach the service what you want to listen to and when?

I'd say the most frustrating thing to me is that they have legit made some decent UI improvements. I did like 11 when I started using it. Overall, the settings app is better. Overall, the bottom right menu for quick access buttons

I'm wondering why you're being so judgmental of this woman. What offends you so much about her legitimate decision to do this? You might not agree with her reasons, but are you really in a place to decide that her feelings, frustr

They could, but if Microsoft provides a native sandbox that publishers can default into without extra effort that effectively protects "their" property from meddling by nosy end-users, they absolutely will. It'll become a sta

By the time it becomes a problem, it'll be too late to reverse. You think publishers will willingly give up the ability lock down their games on PCs? It's been their dream for decades. I'd rather not give up what we can do wi

How about no? This will just lead these companies to implement anti-cheat to protect the "integrity" of their single player games (and their MTX) as well. Say goodbye to mods and other forms of benign game hacking (particularly ha

And good riddance? Why would anybody want to play a game with somebody toxic like you? Why is it so fun for you to make people feel bad? That doesn't seem downright sociopathic to you?

If one has used a computer before, Teams feels like a sad joke. It's like none of the developers grew up in the 90s or even the 00s with a computer. I can't think of a single piece of software I used in that time frame which behav
