Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there’s a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it’s rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.

Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it’s maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.

Sony really screwed over the play after promising Ice Cream Sandwich

Now I’m picturing a pokémart with micro transactions to buy items and I’m glad this doesn’t exist

I strongly disagree with aspects of your perspective but I appreciate your honest engagement

C# Devkit will do in a pinch but it’s still second class in VS Code compared to languages like TypeScript.

Since MS killed off MonoDevelop and Visual Studio is Windows only, it’ll be good to finally have a free proper C# IDE again on Linux.

Your link 404s for me

That’s not what I was saying, I meant instead of the French they did say

I think the comment is about the last panel being a shocked pikachu type face.

The companies are not shocked that you no longer visit their page, that’s their intention. “Generate revenue for us or leave”

P.S. genuine lol at hasta not luego, shouldn’t it also be “aurevoir pas” or “aurevoir never” since that also essentially means see you again.

I think it’s a combination of:

The style of the curb and pavement.

The warning signs on the fence.

The telegraph pole.

It’s an English speaking place

The sky is grey

EU Withdrawal Act effectively retained all applicable EU law as UK law so anything would have to be specifically rescinded after that.

I don’t think anything’s changed wrt gdpr

I once travelled away from the Greenwich Meridian, that was West of Time

Still got my phone from 2020, I really like the phone but the software is creaking, even the custom ROM I moved to is now discontinued and no Lineage available.

I looked at porting something myself but it is … not trivial to say the least.

Just feels frustrating that the phone still works fine but is gradually losing functionality and I can’t update it. Also ngl I really miss having contactless payments. I’ve tried all the fixes I can find online with no success.

It’s a contrived example because you wouldn’t ask “what time is it there?” in a world where everywhere uses the same timezone

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

No, it’s not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

TIL you can kill processes straight from top

100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

100% this, I’ve been a few times to pubs etc. where they tell you the kitchen closing time separately from the pub closing time but then when you try to order food before that they say they already took last orders because the kitchen staff finish at that time.

Like bro, politely I do not care what time your staff finish their shift, it doesn’t affect me. As a customer, I care what time service ends - that’s the time that should be included on the opening hours to the public.
