Steve Wozniak left Apple in 1985 because he felt the company was no longer an engineering-led one and missed the fun of creating things rather than dealing with management. That was 40 years ago. Jobs cared immensely, but the snow

If they won't hold those deserving it accountable, then I guess they themselves should become accountable. Failure to punish should be punishable. Every single fine of this magnitude should also be accompanied by at least one person go

Make a regulation that if you have RMT in your game then you have to prefix the official title accordingly, i.e. "RMT: ${my_game_name}". It appears that Valve has made a change that is good for the game, but bad for the merchants.

I might try; assuming there is anyone at the counter to actually scan a QR code. I did some very basic research (US) and while you can still get pieces for free, it seemed to me that you need the app in order to do anything with them. Which

I remember the fraud, it was insider theft and distribution of game pieces. I'm sure the new system doesn't make them immune to fraud. It now just takes a different skill set. I don't buy the "We don't live in 2015

I don't think this problem is exclusive to France. I'm more interested in how the consumption and consideration of mainstream media is trending given its rampant bias. Clearly they think they can get away with it, I wonder if peop

GDPR is pretty annoying for sure, a close second being websites that have as many ads as this one.

I understand the frustration, but this is everywhere. I went to McDonald's and saw that they were running their Monopoly game again. I peeled the sticker off of my fries nostalgically, but in order to even see what I may have won I nee

I used to use Postman years ago; I never will again. These days I just use cURL and sometimes a rest client mode inside of whichever IDE I'm using.

> Normal jobs don't involve any of them. Presumably we're talking about the norm. Agreed. It's context dependent. I don't like the term NSFW because I find it non-specific and subjective. F-Droid's definition see

Mostly agree, but some people do consult religious texts for work. It doesn't strike me as categorically NSFW, but I think you and I agree that that's the issue: the definition of the NSFW category. Going further, I think it'

NSFW should mean something akin to Not Safe for Work lol. If you're going to use that tag at all, the tag should exist on pretty much anything that exists purely for entertainment value. I would argue that religious texts (as well as s

IMO most slang is interesting because of the etymology, but 6-7's etymology seems tenuous, made up, almost as if it were invented post-meme. If the origin story is accurate, then I think widespread adoption of 6-7 is "brain rot&qu

This is true, but for the moment (big caveat - probably won't be this way forever) it's easier to distinguish the generated than the staged.

I found a lot of the content from my youth (1990s) to be very boring. I think kids today are lucky that they have so much content to choose from at all times. I used to get to watch TechTV, for instance, about once per year when I went to m

So... the images used to be staged, but now they're generated? Seems like not much has changed and the onus still lies with the targeted to think critically about the motivation behind why they've been targeted. That being said, f

People are absurd... a majority of them got together and elected Trump in the first place. Lots of those people never considered any other option. A lot of times the reasoning goes: "Abortion is bad. I vote Republican." or even &q

I agree w/ you, but the people elected Trump; It's not Trump that worries me, it's the weakness of his opposition. So long as he continues to stand largely unopposed he will continue to break things.

It's just a decision making analogy. If you want better decisions that produce solutions that are a better fit for the problem then it makes sense to offer more choices of increased variety. If the situation is as dire as you feel, the

I've observed the same, but it's not one sided. Journalism has become decidedly lowbrow as well. Almost every exchange plays out as an attack and a defense rather than a discussion in good faith seeking mutual understanding and co
