More like the masks are off now. People are still racist but they didn't show it because of the social media implications. I saw a guy on LinkedIn who did an experiment because his name is middle eastern sounding he didn't get any response to his job applications. He decided to change his name on his resume to Jack and the response rate skyrocketed.

Also, lots of the younger generations didn't really mind the ads. After this news showed up, we had a discussion going on my company discord. Most of the older people started sharing workarounds but most of the younger people said that they've been using YouTube with ads and didn't see any problem with it.

Some intranet site developed with React + Angular + Vue + jQuery + during development the dev tried a lot of packages but didn't delete the unused ones + no tree shaking + bundled all of the assets in the page

What people seem to forget is that the international sanctions started AFTER violent actions are done by anti apartheid activists in South Africa. Such violent actions happened after what? Ding ding ding, the non violent protesting which ends in the deaths of the protesters. Fun fact, did you know Nelson Mandela is designated as a terrorist until 2008? And he got elected as South Africa president in 1994. There's 14 years after he got democratically elected as a president that he's still designated as a terrorist.

I condemn what Hamas did on October 7th, even if you read about Islam, there are actually rules of engagement in Islamic teachings. But after what happened during Great March of Return which is a peaceful protest done by Palestinians that resulted in IDF snipers killing peaceful Palestinians. What the fuck do you expect is going to happen after decades of occupation and humiliation? Do you want Palestinians to be a perfect victim? To just roll over and die? Just to let the apartheid state murder them and reduce their population to be so small that you feel bad about them because they can do nothing? Like what the US or Canada did to their indigenous population?

Look, if something like this happened to you, what are you going to do? Just roll over and let some dude from Brooklyn take your home?

My family's home country is a country that got colonized by a lot of European countries, the Portuguese, the Spaniards, the Brits, even the Japanese got their turn colonizing my home country. And did you know what happened after we proclaimed our independence? Our colonizers came back and invaded us saying what we did is "illegal" and forced us to a bloody war of 4 years that cost more than 100,000 lives. If that kind of thing happened today, I bet you a billion dollars that the people who fought for their independence will be labeled as a terrorist.

As a small phone enthusiast, for my current phone I just got a Galaxy Fold 5. I know it sounds counterintuitive. But when the cover mode, the phone has the same width as my old Xperia Z3 Compact. The unfolded mode is a bonus where the two hand usage is justified with the much larger screen. You just need to deal with the thicker phone because of its foldable nature.

Heh, what do you think? Are you saying that Arabs can have the same rights as peaceful Zionist settlers? Surely you must be joking.

You see, most people (myself included) subliminally think that their car is an extension of their personal space. You can see this by looking at your nearest neighboring car during a red light stop. The amount of people doing things usually reserved for their bedrooms are astronomical because our subconscious thought we're in a safe when we're inside our cars except for everybody can see that you're picking your nose in all of its glory.

So when you merge a little bit too late or you use your high beam several times, the person on the receiving end might interpret that as an encroachment of their personal space and react accordingly. During my experience as a road user, you can predict how ragey a person is based on the personalization that a person does to their car. The isolation wrought by the recent pandemic doesn't really help because it made some people forget how to empathize with another human being.

They're releasing this game as an early access. The Day One Game Pass release evidenced this, they wanted as many people as possible running this game to beta test this game.

Why not just release the game as an early access you say? If you release the game as early access there would be much less people buying and installing the game compared to a "full release" and we need the line going up for the Q4 so that our corporate overlords can buy another ranch at New Zealand my friend.

I just experienced this while playing Diablo 4. In the pre-season I routinely got ~120 FPS on my graphical settings and tried out the game again after season 2 release and my FPS shot up to 350.

More like lifetime sentence because you still can view the content without the account, no? It’s not like they come into your house and took all your computing devices.

You can just use ChatGPT for the same effect because only bots post on reddit now /s

They're releasing now to get more people to beta test the game. It's being on Game Pass Day One shows that intention. I'll prolly install it to see how it performs on my PC.

Don't worry, if you're an Israeli citizen and you told your therapist at BetterHelp that you might not support the government they'll kindly inform the government to help make you understand that what they're doing right now is for the best of you.

If you don't own land then you're not a real citizen /s

It's more of luck of the dice when dealing with OLED burn-ins. I've got OLED phones that are 6 years old with no signs of burn-ins but I've seen 2 year old phones with heavy burn-ins. Although usage patterns might contribute to the probability of having a burn in.

Although the iPhone 15 Pro is an abnormal case signifying that either there are panel or display drivers issues.

Reportedly Gaben has implemented safeguards to prevent Valve from getting public after his death. So at least we can hope Valve doesn't go public in our lifetimes.

Currently jumping around between Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core 6, and Overwatch 2. Since beating Baldur's Gate 3 most of the games that I played pale in comparison.

The price being your data.

Do you support the existence of an apartheid state? Yes or no answer only.

One of the shit things about mergers is sometimes you get transferred to another division with a culture that doesn't gel with you at all.
