is this pasta?

Yes, /dev/hdX was IDE disks.

Yes, it's a weird verb our (UK) tabloid newspapers use for some inexplicable reason. Politicians are always "trousering" cash. It's not something normal people actually say in conversation.

We have a king and are a union of 4 countries. What do you mean?

The Great bit refers to it being the largest of the islands that make up the British Isles. GB is a land mass, not a country.

man, where's that sea lion gif when you need it?

I'm actually from a working class town in England and I'm not sure what you're getting at?

I read your comment as "45 on them for that treason". Still works.

I heard it called Dances with Smurfs

1995: animated gifs,

Hang on, they said good products

Oh, it's Ukrainian nationalism causing the deaths is it, not Russia invading? Do you really believe such obvious bullshit and lies?

Video nasty was slang for graphic horror movies, not porn. Not heard anyone say it since the 80s though.

Don't know what country you're in, but Decathlon in the UK (and possibly other countries) does this. There are no traditional manned checkouts in there at all.

And sorry, Biden is at a minimum fascist adjacent.

care to back up that assertion?

it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

Since when do you have to live and breathe command lines to use SteamOS?

But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

Yeah, there's only one person talking out of their butt here.

But there has been the occasional ‘Steam Deck Verified’ game like Cthulhu Saves The World which soft locks on a black screen after battles.

Oh well, I guess if you have a problem with one verified game then we should all write off the entire platform then.

I've just gone through this pain with my company. It took 14 months to finally get rid of the app and the pushback from users was horrendous.

We eventually broke the app to the point that all it did in the end was show a page that made users open the site in their mobile browser and use the "Add to home page" feature present in mobile Safari, Chrome and Firefox to put an icon on the homepage like an app.

Absolutely worth it though to not have to deal with Apple's developer hostile and shitty app tools/ecosystem while paying for the privilege. I don't miss having to deal with the "moving target" nature of Android and iOS either where everything breaks or has a new API every 5 minutes. Mobile browsers are so capable now with javascript APIs to access most of the device hardware so apps really aren't as necessary as they once were.

Man, if only we could buy printers online!

The death penalty offers no benefit beyond the satisfaction of revenge

I'm not saying I'm in favour of the death penalty, but to play devil's advocate it must surely be cheaper for the state to execute a man than to jail him for 50 years?

My car lets you turn off lane assist, it's the collision avoidance that I can't turn off that is trying to kill me. Randomly I'll be driving along when an alarm sounds and it tries to swerve off the road. It's fucking infuriating and dangerous and despite many of us complaining to the manufacturer you can't turn it off.
