Playing the original hot pursuit on my friend's family's Gateway PC, is a true core memory.

The spirit continued with Burnout 2 & 3 before ultimately dying. Racing games need to focus more on destruction and less on licensing real world cars.

Like sure, but that feels beyond the scope of a bed making discussion.

Fatal counter point to all your arguments:

It feels better when you do.

Literally none of your logical arguments matter one iota because the human brain does not care how much you logic an argument. It feels nicer and more comforting climbing into a made bed then an unmade one.

Also, lying on wrinkly sheets is inherently uncomfortable.

Stop living in a dumbass fucking filter bubble.

Blocking is for people who are abusive, not people who coherently express a point slightly different then the one you made.

And they are literally unquestionably and objectively right. Literally every single tool ever created was made to reduce the amount of labour it takes to do a task, which reduces the value of human labour. It's called automation. Read Karl Marx if you think you're such a leftist, he'll explain it you.

Quite frankly, no this isn't the case, largely because you've conflating language and framework.

Javascript is a language, Typescript is a language, React is a library for tracking and updating a component tree, React Web is a library for rendering React components to HTML, external services like a CMS are external services.

None of those are frameworks, and as such are not designed to give you a single easy point of failure as you develop with them. Something like Angular or Next.js is a framework, and does provide the development experience you're looking for.

Similarly, C# is a language, .NET is framework. Java is a language, Spring is a framework. If you want a simple out of the box development experience, use a framework, if you have complex custom needs then combine the language and the various framework components that you need into your own framework.

🤔

On the Voyager app you can see that it wasn't edited at all.

That really does not matter. Spend some time camping with no phones and notice how differently you feel and behave. Humans did not evolve to have smartphones and social media, it triggers numerous emotional responses without actually satisfying them, by its inherent nature.

Social media. You use it up spending time on Reddit and Lemmy etc.

If that description is accurate then there's nothing unprofessional about that.

What would be unprofessional in that situation is the original devs not doing their jobs and then allowing a fan backlash to grow.

Again, we don't know the reality of the situation. I think everyone would be curious to hear from other devs at the studio that aren't part of management or the three who were fired but we haven't yet.

I do, I don't trust the outraged opinions of people using the outrage machine.

They did not have any reason to personally attack the leads except out of spite,

Lol what the honest fuck are you talking about?

They were facing a boycott because it seemed like they fired the original creators to avoid paying the employees.

They could have issued a statement saying that they would still pay the remaining employees and everyone would assume that they still fired the creators out of greed reasons. If the creators actually didn't do their jobs, then they would want to make it clear that they are the ones actually committed to making a good game and this has nothing to do with greed.

That may not be the case, but at present we simply do not know what the reality of the situation was.

That's not why people get outraged, they get outraged because it's addictive and they spend too much time on social media.

To be fair, they didn't trash anyone publicly until they basically had to.

Sometimes being self confident is the difficult path, not the easy path.

Then you need to work on your self confidence.

The key lesson to learn from this:

Be kind and understanding when you feel ignored, it's difficult but it's important to have the self confidence to truly accept that it's not you, they're probably just busy with a million life things.

And yes, things break naturally as a function of time.

Why don't you go ahead and explain the exact mechanism that causes software to change and would cause a computer to interpret it differently over time, without a human intervening and updating it to break it.

Don't worry, we'll wait.

Yes, they can have their software continue to support Windows by simply not breaking the version that works for windows, without having to provide full customer support and service for it.

False.
