No man! Think of the future shareholders!! 😢

Remember when people were rightly upset about the power usage of bitcoin, I’d love to know collectively how much tech companies are using in comparison to produce this slop.

Need for speed underground 2, this is my favourite racing game of all time. I sunk so much time into it.

Why would anyone brag about any of this. His poor partner.

Won’t someone please think of the youth in Asia!

11th hour? The nomination for the party hasn’t even happened, there is around 5 months to the polls, this is definitely not the 11th hour.

So true, this really highlights the risk of updates impacting critical systems vs critical systems being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Its a real balancing act.

So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!

Just reading the intro pulls you in

We draw a distinction between two sorts of bullshit, which we call ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ bullshit

Serious question, is it possible that if Biden wins, he could step down and his VP could take over? The guy is REALLY old, so is Trump, there should surely be some sort of age limit.

I mean, its possible.

But then again, people have now known the beauty of steam. If this does happen as you say it could, it does open up the possibility for someone to make a Steam_v2.

I have faith that there are enough people who are passionate about Linux that it’s possible for Windows to lose some of its dominance in the future. Maybe the enshittification of steam is needed to make that a possibility.

I’m trying to learn rust and so far this has definitely made it so much more accessible.

Not to mention their super useful “rustlings” training which has these nice little challenges to get you used to language and syntax

It could be a number of things that people have mentioned in here.

Just allow yourself to do what you actually want to do. If you feel like you actually want to watch movies or TV shows then you need to consciously stop picking up your phone.

At the same time, if you only want to watch a movie or TV show because its what you “think” is expected of a “normal” person, stop. Just let yourself lay on the couch/bed and scroll.

We place too many expectations on ourselves these days to be doing certain things, instead of just doing the things we actually want.

Cockerdiles?

I’m also not a fan of MS spyware.

But in defence of the MS authenticator, the 2FA prompts it sends are very convenient, how they pop up and ask for the number displayed on screen, its definitely more secure than just the one time code.

Plus it also shows what phone the user is using when they install and configure the authenticator app, this is also very useful if you suddenly see the user accessing their mail or one drive from another mobile device.

I mean it is… They could literally have a cure that they can sell to millions of people around the world, as well as millions more who will contract diabetes in the future.

I don’t understand this conspiracy and companies don’t want cures. I can understand scepticism around pharmaceutical companies for all the awful shit they’ve done, but it doesn’t mean that scientists and researchers will never be able to produce cures.

Given the times I’ve seen news articles and screenshots of poorly vetted published journals. Surely a free open source publisher managed by the academic community can’t be much worse? I also don’t know shit about the requirements to actually publish so this is probably a naive take

What’s happening in Antigua and Barbuda? 😭

Deleting an app from any device regardless of OS should generally remove all related files, except in cases where the app asks you if you’d like to keep certain files, such as personal data or saved game files. However that’s not to say that they always remove related files, things such as updates can leave files in particular temporary directories, some of these are not always removed as part of the update process and so they are not something which would be recognised during the removal of the application either.

These kind of temporary files and folders being left behind are why there has always been reasons behind creating apps to “boost” you device performance by removing some of these left over junk files but are also the reason that sometimes its better to just totally reset the device, clear everything out and start again.

I know there was a time I would pretty much do this on a yearly basis for my own computer to try and keep it at a close to peak performance level.
