   Thinking Menlo Park (or any of Silicon Valley, really) is in any way "extreme left-wing" is a sure indication you haven't spent any time there and are basing your viewpoints off of what others have said on social media. Billi

   Wow, I've seen anyone mention Lego Loco before! That was a great game. I was horrible at it, but the art style and atmosphere was great.

   Some of us are also just stuck with naturally sensitive eyes, unfortunately.

   Kinda funny that they're doing this over "brand protection" when their entire "brand" is just regurgitating worse versions of existing brands' characters.

   If the worst we ultimately get from this kind of tech is grifting, I will consider that a very positive outcome.

   Would love to know myself as well, but I haven't seen any. I'd imagine there's at least some demand in the Bay Area for events like this? We get a good amount of electronic/dance shows already, and the underground scene

   I think this might be the single biggest factor, and it seems hard, if not impossible, for most people who grew up in financially comfortable situations to truly understand how much it affects every aspect of your life. I was fortunate to g

   Even if the birth rate suddenly tripled, it wouldn't solve that issue for at least a generation. There's going to have to be other solutions, maybe in the form of automation/robotics/etc in conjunction with societal&#x2F

    I sadly have to agree. Even ignoring all the poor design choices (the photos app, control center, etc), ugly new UI changes, and the confusing-at-best and misleading-at-worst integration of "AI", it's just incredibly unstable

    They removed the LED? My 2023 model pro still has it. Google is failing me trying to find information about it, though.

    I might be out of the loop, but I thought that was only for some machines - I remember the LED being wired that way being a selling point for MacBooks at some point, as a privacy feature. It definitely should be the standard, though!

    I'm not going to engage with this person anymore, for their own sake. I hope they get the help they need. For anyone else reading this: if you have a loved one in your life that starts acting this way (unable to comprehend what people

    Spamming this comment all over isn't going to make it sound any less unhinged or off-topic.

    That subscription fee is just too big of an obstacle in a time when everything has a subscription and is still often degrading in quality. Seems like an unsolvable chicken and egg scenario though, since relying on advertising to make it fre

    I don't think this is a very accurate interpretation. Maybe for some, but I'd reckon sex, drugs, and alcohol (and partying in general) are more often than not used for the opposite reason.

    I think there absolutely is. I haven't actually met a single coworker at my current job of over 3 years, since the nearest office is almost 500 miles from me, and it absolutely feels less "real" because of it. I do my job we

    Morons like him are the reason I almost never talk about working in tech to most people. It seems pretty clear to me at this point that the bubble a large number of VCs/"tech bros" (for lack of a better term) exist in is psyc

    I'm not quite as bad, but I'm still pretty damn bad. If you're a 10/10 on the bad-at-directions scale, I'm probably at a 7- 7.5. Any chance you have ADHD or anything along those lines?

    Lovely! I rely on StartAllBack to make my Windows 11 work machine actually useful. At least renaming the executable works for now. Microsoft seems hellbent on making their products worse and worse. I guess this is more incentive for me to g

    Yep, it’s essentially an executive function disorder at its core. ADD/ADHD has always been a misnomer.

    Then you likely don’t have ADHD, or didn’t take them for longer than a week or so.

    I don’t think it’s just people in the Bay Area that are flaky, but rather Californians in general. I don’t really know what causes it, but I’m guilty of it myself, since I’ve lived here my entire life. Living in a place like SF where there’
