This is where I am too. Just built a new gaming pc and was planning to do dual boot.

Installed windows 11 LTSC and honestly, it’s everything I want in a gaming pc so I guess no need to install Linux.

Having said that, I bought a pc that came with windows; can’t wait to kill it with fire!

Although I agree in spirit, there is a bloatfree version of windows 11 called LTSC.

Makes me one happy windows user.

Does audiobooks count as reading or do I have to have that perfect picture of hipster with beard reading in a cozy cafe?

I mean, at that point you might as well wear normal jeans.

Thanks, I needed that.

I didn’t know that picture of Patrick existed.

There is also “you lot”

Can I ask how polluting the data will help?

It makes data less reliable.

How do we know if a certain profile is genuine vs someone dicking around. Or mostly genuine and the person didn’t do some malicious compliance for certain parts of the app they don’t care about.

If it becomes a social trend and someone gets caught, it would be easier to say they lied cause they wanted to do a tick tock challenge.

I don’t know what you mean by good data comes with proper consent.

When someone wants to help the data collectors then they would do more proper hygiene to their profile, keep things up to date and give honest feedback. Whereas someone like me never gives consent for data without being forced, so I always try to give as little and lie as much as I can.

I guess the assumption I made was that practically everyone knows apps and websites track them in some shape or form (even the least tech savvy person knows websites get total amount of visits), so “acting like no one is tracking you” isn’t ever true to begin with. Especially given this context for a period tracking app.

I don’t want to victim blame but if using an app is optional and it could get you in trouble with the law (regardless of how bad the law is), you should not use it.

Having said that, as a dev, please pollute data as much as possible.

Management needs to learn how valuable good data is and good data comes with proper consent (most people wouldn’t share their data if they could opt out).

This is what gets me the most, they had 4 years and a presidential immunity ruling and did nothing.

I’m telling you, all politicians like trump’s policies, they are the rich after all.

Damn your right, I never mentioned which direction.

But let’s be honest, republicans don’t have the numbers for a landslide.

Maybe not but a landslide by Wednesday would be very reassuring.

This news breaks, both leftist places and far right places get pissed off, but for some reason far right places think leftist want this….

This is actually a big problem when it comes to polarization. Right wing idiots think anything unpopular that they clearly don’t stand for HAS to be supported by “the radical left”.

It’s right out of the fascist playbook, blame all wrongdoings on your current scapegoat group.

You see, god stoked his divine dick and then, there came a big bang and billions of galaxy came out of the ejaculated foam.

Bears usually get violent when their cubs are nearby, so I’m gonna guess probably a momma bear.

I mean, would you rather a bear eat you or make love to you?

Either way, it’s better if you’re into bear stuff.

The issue is, as a kid, you had lots and lots of time, and also little access to Internet forums for general game info.

Back then, you got a game and that became your whole focus for a few days instead of a few weeks/months.

Games in general were less complex and less forgiving so you were more used to playing simple platformers in which you could die and lose 20 mins of progress.

So overall, the attitude was to put effort, invest and challenge yourself (not with online play) when it came to gaming.

So given all these factors, your attitude towards games and the type of games were difference, hence why a simple platformer without much story and repetitive gameplay was the shit back then.

Hey, we left cause of the enshitification of Reddit itself, toxicity of the users was always part of the package deal.

Why do people hate on Java so much, I think it’s a great language.

Do you use Java at work?

Fuck no, I want to stay sane.
