Would sure be nice if the website actually had a way of telling if its being displayed on a mobile device (in a way that would correctly detect a landscape mode ipad for instance), as well as a way of telling you are on a metered connection

I think the integrations with other platforms are done this way, so I have my games from steam, epic etc and even the titles from my xbox pc pass all in one list in GOG. Dont know about other uses for extensions.

I think that's the right approach. The alternative is crunch, but you can't have a workplace non-workaholics want to work at that does crunch.

The next stage is to let people remove likes and hide share counts. I think we have systems which pay way too much attention to these numbers, considering how trival they are to fake.

I don't understand it either. Looking from across the pond at what they do, the Democrat party would be considered highly conservative in Europe.

Engineers don't get to work on whatever they want (usually). The described problem doesn't stop people buying shark cards, the fix is not new content and players leaving the game because of it don't affect the bottom line sig

I agree but the nearest star is (only?) 4 light years away. If we only managed to travel close to the speed of light, we surely live long enough today. Time dilation will cause our friends to be older by a few years than they should be, but

I have a question to people saying "get a local job" What kind of jobs do you mean? Doesn't it look suspicious for a middle aged guy who looks from a different part of the world trying to get a job he clearly does not need? T

It's different when working remotely during a pandemic or not. Yours (and mine too) lack of motivation are likely due less to remote nature of work than to our isolated limited lives in general. I'd say try to enjoy this, focus on

Years ago when mining with a single gaming card was more common and viable, I lived in a rented room in a house owned by a live-in landlord who controlled the heating, and wouldn't turn it on for very long in the winter. Since electric
