Habit and familiarity, really. I saw a YouTuber recently argue against Mastodon and Threads because "people simply don't change platforms so I'm sticking with Twitter, despite its issues." Which is an insane take, imo, but one from a user.

They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

My two cents is there's a structural issue that's converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you'll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

I haven't had issues running a few things I needed within a VM. However, those tasks aren't demanding.

Looking at you "iCloud for Windows".

one test and when you pass it you don’t have to go to school anymore.

In America it's called the GED. I know this because a friend of mine took it at 15 and started community college immediately.

You're personal life aside, cause I understand middle/high school is the worst, what do you mean by "decentralized schooling" and what does that mean in your view? Is it curriculum or who "runs" the building?

Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don't die inside knowing it's going to be painful to people viewing ads.

Eh screw it, thine to break the redditless streak.

H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?

They're just pointer pointers!

Dang, that is so cool C can do that.

Oh god, I was blind to them. The fuckers are every where.

Ack! another one.

I wonder if the same thing happened during the digg migration.

Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.

I know because I'm one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I'll have something to grumble about after a few beers 😅

"And we think you're gonna love it"

I haven't worn a belt in months. 🥳

Hell, I wouldn't want to drive there. Ya know, the purpose it was built for.

Something happened in the 80's, but I can't put my finger on what 🤔

Yeah, this kinda hit me whenever my first pair of AirPods died because I was using them so much. They have such tiny batteries, so a percentage difference in total charging capacity was felt quicker. Additionally, the use-case lends to them being discharged almost completely, which hurts life further. While it's convenient, I realized I was paying a really sharp subscription service where there's no service from the manufacturer to continue the use of the parts and ultimately the product is designed to be landfill debris.

I switched to a wire after that.

I once was so enthusiastic about Fedora...

Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That's a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That's before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to "dangerous" behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.

Or -- Christ it's 2023 -- Apple's first fucking USB-C phone. Holy mother of god, having one stupid cable for the devices I want was a siren song of a mad god, but we're finally here.

In 2023
