Sure, but the CEO of Spotify (which I have no idea why we're bringing in here)... Is a man named Daniel Ek, so the other part of that comment doesn't make sense either.
I was in Spain, waiting outside a tournament venue for Magic: The Gathering. Two guys were talking, presumably in Spanish. I knew no spanish, but I could tell the one guy was really excited, almost choking back a laugh while speaking quickly and loudly before he held out his hand vertically, swung it left and right like a table tennis paddle while loudly exclaiming "RAGARAGARAGARAGA".
The other guy was listening closely with a completely unfazed expression.
Their conversation continued.
At that point, I started to wonder: what were they talking about? What kind of conversation could lead to that motion and that complimentary sound to be adequate? Why was the other guy seemingly so unamused when the first guy was so excited?
This happened probably around 10 years ago, and it bothers me to this day. I will never know for sure, of course, but I have yet to think of a single topic which could reasonably prompt that interaction.
After the war, just tell Trump that the rare earth materials have strange properties which make people within a certain radius more attracted to people of their own gender.
The laws of thermal- and accoustic physics are surely warped within Dell hardware. Otherwise, I have no explanation why it acts so much worse than other laptops with similar specs.
I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it's easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I'm sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.
I can vouch for Signal. I got my whole family out of facebook messenger to make a new place for family chat. Even my parents in their mid 60s had no problem changing.
I had a shirtless incident working at a hardware shop in my early 20s. I was given my work uniform, but I didn't see any changing room, so I just popped into an empty office to change. It was just a shirt - a 10 second job - no problem. Ripping of my shirt, I heard shouting from the neighbouring office from my new (female) boss: "we have about 3 active cameras in that office, just thought you might want to know."
In panic I quickly had to decide between apologizing, becoming embarrased or running away. My smart ass brain landed on shouting back "if you see anything you like, speak up!"
A lot of creators were tricked into that. The problematic part was that they realized the issue and completely went silent about the issue instead of raising awareness of the scam. Alerting about that fact would have been a great tech tip.
The code I write might be considered abstract art by some, but I'm a developer, not an artist. Much like how someone who writes books get catagorized as an author even though books can be considered art.
It's not that I disagree with the principle, but on the mentioned occastions, I will ~99% of the time listen to podcasts or audio books instead of music.
That's a great point. I have a nintendo switch, but I have more or less played through the entirety of all the games I have been interested in before my child was born. I did pick up pokemon violet, but the game was very short and had some disgusting responsiveness and aestetics which discourages me from grinding the post game.
Maybe a handheld pc will be my next purchase. Thanks for the suggestion!
As a father of a 8 month old baby, I have barely touched any of my gaming systems for the past year. Games need to be quickly accessible and possible to quit at any time for me to play. So mobile gaming is basically where I'm at.
Slay The Spire works perfectly well for Android. I've been playing that a ton.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is weirdly fun. Even though it's encouraging microtransactions and subscriptions, it's very much playable without making a single transaction. The TCG is decently interesting, though not without flaws. It's still in a very early stage, so I'm interested to see how the game grows.
This reminds me of an article about how to pack your plastic shopping bags to avoid spoiling frozen and refredgerated items on the way back home. The article basically boiled down to: bring a cooling bag.
It's answering some question while completely disregarding the premise of the original question.
Consumables are great. It opens up for repeatability and the receiver is never stuck with dust collectors.
