Most people, including myself, seem to agree, that ads were never the problem. When YouTube started, it had ads too and nobody cared. But the ads got worse and websites started to shove them down our throats. I miss the times of a single banner below a video. I don't think Google and all the others realise just how much determined nerds can achieve. So far the ad blockers seem to win the race, minus some minor setbacks.

If I learned one thing, when talking with people about stuff like that: Most people unfortunately don't care. Many don't even have an ad blocker to begin with.

Anyone knows why Spotify needed 9000 employees in the first place?

Interesting take. I wonder if the amount of platform dependent bugs is generally that low for games. I'm a developer, but not a game developer. I would assume that platform dependent stuff comes into play a lot more, when using shiny new tech like direct storage, which is probably used more by AAA titles and less by indie games?

What is it called, when you are a highly functional, somewhat extroverted but also burdened with crippling social anxiety? Asking for a friend.

I once tried wsl on my work machine instead of having to deal with cygwin or msys2. Unfortunately the virus scanner didn't like that a whole lot and my account was locked. Man do I love enterprise problems on top of normal problems.

It tried to kill us, but it failed. Was humankind metal all along?

Elderly children are the worst. 🙄

You don't need to see what's going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

Und? Wann?

Work could and should be fulfilling. Unfortunately many modern jobs are just soul crushing and feel meaningless :-(

Sogar eine Fahrgemeinschaft. Quasi nachhaltig

He is happy and that is what counts.

But can't he just say "no homo" and still play it?

That's how the deep state gets you

The Wii game on the other hand is a collector's item.

But did he succeed?
