And I will pirate it and play it on my Steamdeck!

As a Martian I feel left out.

I was in the same boat as you a year ago, but Windows got so bad that I just accepted that I could only play 90% of the games I want and had to check protondb before buying a game.

Also I wouldn’t use a distro that has GNOME as their default DE. KDE is (currently) superior in many ways that matter for gamers.

TIL my company has only bad managers.

Good point.

There is probably also a lot more of these “pretty girl” videos than “5 Fun Facts About JavaScript” or “Here is a Mistake Everyone Makes in C” so it’s easier for the algorithm to serve them.

Before anyone rails on OP too much let me tell you this. My shorts feed was full of tech stuff. Then one day I clicked on a hot girl and watched a few of the shorts. Big mistake. Now even though I’m not clicking on them again my feed looks like OPs.

I guess the lesson here is. Never click on these shorts ever if you don’t want to get spammed by them.

I met my now wife in uni. Quite lucky because I also work in IT and the only women I interact with are her friends…

I’m pretty sure Aliens exist and there are big signs around our solar system that say something like “Avoid that system, murderous apes”.

I love that you used “should of” in a valid sentence.

What’s funny is that where I live a lot of the examples you mentioned ARE heavly mandated and limited.

I have said it time and time again. Smokers should have to wear those old diving helmets, but made out of glass. That way they can smoke as much as they want and don’t bother anyone but themselves!10 years ago people called me crazy, but maybe now we are heading in that direction. :)

Generally I agree with you, but with cigarettes you are not making the choice only for yourself. Every time you walk down the street with a cigarette in hand you are forcing other people to inhale it.

I was born in a world without a cigarette ban in restaurants and clubs and the current situation is 1000 time more preferable imo.

As an Austrian 4 weeks is still nothing.

Don’t forget sugar. I’ve recently visited the US and their bread (if you can call it that) could easily be classified as cake where I’m from.

It sounds like you may have read somewhere that rape victims sometimes reenact their rape with their partners and concluded that therefore they must like being raped.

You couldn’t be further from the truth.

For your information, they don’t do it because they enjoyed their rape so much, they do it because it helps them work through what happened to them with a partner they trust and where they have complete control over the situation and the outcome unlike what happened to them prior.

My wife did the same and while they cost 4 times as much as regular ones, she also said that the difference is unbelievable.

I would never use an ISPs router for my home network. It just causes so many issues that you can easily avoid by either using your own router directly or if that is not possible putting the device into “bridge” mode and using your own router behind it.

What are some of the issues?

The devices the ISPs send out are usually the cheapest hardware imaginable and therefore introduce substantial unnecessary latency.

Where I live some ISPs also used to use tools that genereted wifi passwords based on the devices MAC address. While this is apparently fixed now, a lot of non tech savvy users still use these old devices that are basically open to anyone now.

To save even more money, they sometimes deliberately send out faulty devices (as in devices that drop connection frequently, restart for no reason, etc) which is just horrible.

I know these issues because I worked in that field and there are a lot more unfortunately…

You can? 😯
