"you know you don't have to display humanity?"

"Why are you still doing it?"

He makes about $150,000,000 a day, passively from his assets.

Wealth tax now.

I see your point, but I guess maybe the Australian Broadcasting Corporation can be the one to let us know that it's also the case for Australia

I feel like that's psychological torture

10 mins to get to a title screen sounds like a red flag without having actually played it myself

Assuming you're playing on PC, have you got it installed on an SSD rather than an HDD? Some games really don't like being run from an HDD these days

A big part of why many of the things in this thread haven't aged well, is because a lot of what made these shows original and unique was copied to death following the fame of the original.

If you weren't there for the original release of a piece of media, there's a good chance you're not necessarily seeing it in the context where the accolades make sense.

Seinfeld basically invented the 3 camera sitcom and a lot of the key tropes in the format. If you go back today having not watched it before, the vast majority of it just comes across as a boring sitcom, because every sitcom to follow took notes from the way they did Seinfeld.

It's the same with the UK office, it basically invented the modern mockumentary format as well as the cringe comedy era that followed (and gave us things like peep show). If you look back now without that context, it just looks like a generic combination of both those things.

I do continually find it baffling that companies repeatedly replace existing products with something worse

I literally can't think of one time some service or software was retired in lieu of a like for like* replacement and it wasn't actually worse for a very long time.

I'm actually struggling to think of any example actually

GitHub has been around for nearly 2 decades and was largely considered a mostly good thing until maybe the past couple of years. Also important to add that Microsoft seems to mostly have left it alone for the first couple of years (possibly with the exception of Atom, which it left very alone)

In addition to people just generally being slow to change, changing can take quite a bit of effort for some projects for varying reasons. Many of those same projects struggle to keep up with the maintenance workload, so they're not going to jump at the chance to add more work to their plates.

Finally, some people just don't care. For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn't necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin.

Though I will say if the service disruptions and ad-injection bullshit continue you'll only see GitHub competitors grow. GitLab seems to be going after their enterprise customers with some success.

Well because of course they are a safe and sensible driver, it's just everyone else on the road who those warnings are for

The various Linux containers I run on my Linux server seem to be giving me a different experience to you

You turn invisible off?

I see what my profile looks like sometimes ("last online 150 days ago") and quickly toggle it just so people don't think I cuddled a moving bus or something

Paraphernalia is another good one

I'm pretty sure it can't really reach beyond his final breath

Or if we go back further...

This is pretty good, though I expect even if it's accepted it's going to be a long journey before you can reliably use it

If we're adding stuff to http, it would be nice for some additional status codes, things have moved on a bit since the early days

Old boys club attends old boys club

Hard no from me

I don't want some nutjob with too much time stalking me because I upvoted something about climate change or downvoted some bigoted shit. We all know those fuckos are out there

Voting on Reddit-like platforms is soft moderation by a community, and if you disincentive that, the whole model kinda falls apart IMO

Holy fucking shit this isn't just a meme, wtaf is going on at Microsoft.

The FOSS aficionados of Lemmy will probably be quick to tell me it's always been shit, but this seems like a marked increase in bad decisions in the past 5-10 years

"good morning, I'm about to destroy the backend" is exactly the energy I'd welcome from a colleague frankly.

I think the outage that followed as we fumbled to replace it would probably be cheaper than the ongoing maintenance after a few months
