Precisely because they are harmless and inconsequential. Complaining about things like this or pineapple on pizza are just meme complaints. Nobody cares that much about it in reality.
In any specific god? no. What I believe is that we don't know and will never know anything beyond our own existence. We don't know what we are, in the grand scheme of things (or if there's a grand scheme at all). We don't even know if we actually exist.
I just live my life to the best of my abilities and shrug off all that "beyond my existence" stuff as pointless. If I tried to think about it, I don't believe I would ever come anywhere close to a real answer anyway.
Well there's a million ways you can interpret that data. Apple usually makes very opinionated stuff ("this is how it works and this is how you're going to use it"). Autistic folks tend to do have big issues with that sort of stuff, so it's only natural they'll gravitate to something else where they can use it whoever they feel is better.
And women in general have been pushed away from IT for a few decades due to how they're treated in those groups, so it's only natural they'll be underrepresented among Linux users.
I realized I had overdone it when two weeks in they were going to send me a free hoodie shipped from a different continent.
At least I ran out of things to buy there.
I don't know anything from the early century but there's Superstore from 2015 which had a lot of stuff on that level.
First morning at the job he comes in wanting to impress, so he copies some company data to his personal laptop to do extra work at home. He got fired at noon. The official reason was that he had copied that stuff without authorization, but a more likely reason was that someone had accidentally written an extra zero on the offer they made him, because it was several times above average in the area.
And that's why all those folks have mental issues. Having the skill is not enough, you need to pretty much dedicate your whole life to "the craft"
Same. I make good money today and I can pay for the stuff I use, but when I get some nostalgia and feel like playing a game from my childhood like The Little Samson, my only option is to go cry on a corner because the game isn't available anywhere and is worth 3 thousand dollars minimum - which even if I paid would never go to the folks who made the game anyway.
When I was a teenager I couldn't afford anything. I didn't even had a computer or a video-game of my own, I started working at a Lan house when I was 14 just to be able to afford an occasional snack. I played a bunch of SNES games at that time thanks to emulators - if piracy wasn't an option I would never have played them and probably wouldn't have gotten into videogames that much. 6 years later I managed to buy a DS and a couple games. Since then I've bought several consoles and a ton of games for each of them. Nintendo made several thousand dollars from me over the years and that would never have happened if I didn't have access to SNES pirated games 20 years ago.
I even got to make a game of my own now, which directly benefitted from piracy as well, as I noticed a bunch of people playing pirated versions on YouTube, with comments on those videos mentioning they liked it and bought it. My main concern related to piracy at that time was that those players were not getting bug fixes and new stuff I added to the game.
In truth, there is no downside to piracy - it's a net gain for everyone involved as long as the paying customers get to have a better, more comfortable experience with not having to deal with any hassle to consume your content. But if you make it harder for me to consume your content than the high seas does, well that's on you.
Who even still uses apple devices in 2023?

Eh, no need to bring the iOS/Android fight into this. OP saw an opportunity for a joke and took it. The butt of the joke is iOS because that's what the sub is about. If it were for android the same joke could be made, though folks would probably make different ones with other more glaring issues that Google has.
I switched my laptop for a desktop a long time ago since I always work from home anyway, but yesterday I had to go the city my company's office is in and thought: "I can work with the steam deck for one day". It worked perfectly well.
Today someone asked me if I was really working on a PSP.
It's looking pretty good actually. Even more if you consider how shitty the anime has been for half of its run.
If they deliver something on the same level as the trailer this would be the first case I would recommend a live action as a better manga adaptation than an anime.
Opera has in the past been caught passing all of its users' data through their servers, decrypting and re-encrypting it there all while telling the users that the data was encrypted end-to-end.
Is it ever not having one? Brave is one of the shittier browser companies out there.
Sadly that sort of thing got so common where I work that I'll run the tests three times before considering looking into the error message to see if it is something I broke.
From time to time we take some days just to fix tests with inconsistent results, but there's always more popping up.
Depends on the kind of search. If you're wondering what was newton's second law, you can just Google that. If you're having an issue where your steam deck virtual keyboard is not showing up when you press its shortcut, the top 20 non-reddit Google results will all be random SEO articles about the basic features of steam deck.
Aka "we really needed to change because of the copyright stuff but this reason sounds better"
I once worked as a 3rd party in a large internet news site and got assigned a task to replace their current captcha with a partner's captcha system. This new system would play an ad and ask the user to type the name of the company in that ad.
In my first test I already noticed that the company name was available in a public variable on the site and showed that to my manager by opening the dev tools and passing the captcha test with just some commands.
His response: "no user is gonna go into that much effort just to avoid typing the company name".
I went to check it out and was so happy with the idea and the first impression that it gave me that I went ahead and bought the lifetime premium for it hoping to customize it to my tastes, only to quickly learn they are very anti-customization.
Damn I really hate opinionated software.
