Wealthy parents will significantly help but there are exceptions to the rule that all billionaires came from wealthy parents. What helps is knowing that if you fail, your family can support you regardless.
A bigger thing at play is just survivorship bias. Most entrepreneurs fail.
I get paid to do 40 hours of work a week and I feel like I'm cheating the system as I definitely don't work anywhere close to that.
I think people just are comfortable screwing over companies as they will screw you as often as they can so they don't see it as cheating in this case, but it's a rare case where the worker gets more out of it than the business.
Lmao. This article is junk. Yew I'm sure millions of people are going to suddenly dump their PC's because they don't get security updates. Most people don't follow this at all and don't care.
And no, they're not going to magically jump to Linux as much as the Lemmy circlejerk loves to believe. If they know enough about security they probably already have looked into Linux and decided against it.
Tbf, I have tried but on Android the performance is dogshit. There is a few seconds difference between Firefox loading pages and Chrome loading unfortunately.
If there was a third option I'd gladly take it, but for now Firefox just doesn't have the functionality and I'm willing to put up with the current state of Google shit. If it gets much worse I may just have to suck it up though.
Such a crap use of logic/words to try and escape culpability.
"We said the driver has to be 100% attentive! So if the car swerves suddenly and crashes it's the drivers fault, they should have paid attention!" Jesus, if that's honestly your defence then you have no understanding of the real world
Destroy or severely damage the stock market? It was just one stock, some people lost money but it didn't affect 99%+ of the stock market or its traders.... Just a little meme blip on the scale of things.
I just subscribed for 4 or so years ahead at original prices. Will decide in 4 years if it's still worth it, but for me the free games are easily worth the price of entry.
I'm not sure it really needs to be debated - prices have gone up, they raised prices. Either pay or don't pay. It's no big deal at end of day.
Uhh. I'm not sure I understand the meme... I'm not trying to create a war here, but Windows has very clearly won has it not? It makes way more money, has much higher user share, has much higher recognition Etc. ... I'm not sure this meme makes much sense.
But I thought Apple was the good guy, looking out for us folk and doing privacy-focused things!
What? That's just marketing garbage? Nah, surely Apple wouldn't just be a shitty company just like everyone else. Better buy some more overpriced products to support them!
Even if you carefully get a successor, they can still fuck up and ruin it. Or they just die/decide to move on 2 years in and you're in similar shit Creek. Or hell, Gaben himself gets dementia and starts making shit decisions.
Great. Can you fucking release it in Australia now? Fuck Valve and its support here.
