  • My company would be conducive to this. What kind of dev are you? We are not hiring right now but I can pass your resume along if it's a fit. We're tiny so it won't just get lost in the shuffle

  • I stuck with 7 for an extremely long time under similar reasoning. Like I missed win 8 completely and only got 10 in maybe 2018. And only because I needed a version of directX for work that was unsupported on 7.

    And it was the same shit back then. 10 was pulling a lot of the same tricks. Ads, reinstalling candy crush without permission, more bloat and antifeatures.

    Eventually a combination of third party tools and understanding of how to keep the garbage at bay made 10 tolerable. And, I guess, now 10 is the semi-reliable legacy alternative to the current shitfest.

    Is there a Shutup10 analogue for Windows 11? Or an LTSC? Not looking forward to having to go through that dance again. But I assume the day will come.

  • As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.

  • Yeah, no. You said not voting for Biden is voting for a worse situation for Palestine, which is only true in swing states. Which, I suspect, you know. I didn't change the topic; you brought up non-election years and other ballot issues.

    But if you need it spelled out (we both know you don't:) if you don't live in a swing state, your vote for president doesn't matter.

  • Absolutely. Compare the kind of censorship that happens on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, to the kind that doesn't happen on TikTok.

    For example, I got permanently banned from Reddit (reversed after a few days' appeal, but it took me out of the game) for pointing out others in the thread conflating ISIS with the general Palestinian public. This was, apparently, hate speech. You see people reporting similar things on all these American platforms.

    I have my concerns about TikTok but the pearl clutching is very selective.
