Exactly. FDroid is a fraction of a percent of Android users. To get syncthing on your device you have to pass a lot of scary looking warnings on the way to get there. This is exactly what the monopoly trials were about.

Also shout out to the Xbox birth to death ad

And Sony advertising the PlayStation 9 instead of the PlayStation 2

Nope, like it opens to where it should be but the option isn't there

I suspect I enabled something that prevents this option

I think the intention was sentient life as having Thanos stop the film to explain the terms and conditions of his snap would've impacted the pacing of the film.

I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.

I felt there was a steady decline after season 1. Season 1 was near perfect then they started to stretch themselves too thin with all these C D and F plots. There were some highlights though like the coach beard episode and Amsterdam.

I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email

My internal chocolate bar cost has gone way up. I find the stuff at the bottom (like the stuff at the checkout) doesn't even taste like chocolate anymore. I usually get something from the specialty section now.

If I buy the 82 dollar turkey today and sell it when the turkey market hits 100 do I have to declare turkey capital gains

I'm just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He's been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone

This will likely apply to everything but the iPhone. I don't believe for a second we'll have a fall come by without a new iPhone.

Would be hilarious if the next version of the pi zero was strong enough to emulate Dreamcast and play full Sonic adventure on the VMU

It's probably obnoxious in real life but I really wanna do the ZZ Top ringtone from Bad Monkey

Worst thing about someone watching a reel out loud is you hear the same 15 second sound bite 30 times while they're reading the comments.

I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.

Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would've taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I'm curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there's no benefit I feel people aren't using these tools or don't know how to use them effectively.

Love this idea. Down vote is severely lacking a why and ultimately doesn't change anything but good reasoning can go a long way.

This might be a real unpopular opinion but I think the down vote is a broken feature. We do need some kind of vote to help the best stuff rise to the top, thus the up vote. Down vote basically says "I disagree with your opinion but I don't have a strong enough rebuttal to engage in the discussion to explain why". A basic agreement doesn't usually add a lot to the conversation unless the comment itself comes with additional context, a disagreement requires some level of dialog as to explain why. It encourages this bubble hivemind instead of open discussion. Really makes me miss how popular forums were in the mid 2000s.

It doesn't really stop spam, we have stronger mechanics for that like reporting, moderation and spambot tools. Plus posts without any engagement usually just fall off pretty quickly without reaching a wider audience.

Then you have your trolls who collect down votes. Having a vote score of 1 is way less compelling for a troll than -15.

Edit

4 down votes without discussion, we've just proved the point.

I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.

I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn't even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don't exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that's why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won't get the project.
