Anywhere so long as they don’t try to kill adblockers

Everything else the forks can work around. What’s important is they don’t give into manifest v3/WEI and become complicit in the death of adblockers.

The ROI was eternal life

Do people just forget religion exists and believers take it fully seriously?

Thou art exceptional company. Do not attend church this Sunday.

I’m going to 1450 and giving the natives guns before the Spaniards and the Portuguese arrive.

Without them, anglos probably won’t bother either.

An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment

But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)

I don’t get it

I hear they’re very precise [badumsh]

Grand Theft Auto

The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

Column A, Column B

The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they’re young

And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)

And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming – But they will have some common ground with you still.

… It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.

I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

Like.

If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

You’re the one lying. Gnome 46. That’s when it was added.

“Location entry on click” and “Detailed timestamps for files” listed proudly as “features” as if they aren’t default on every file manager that doesn’t treat its users like babies too dumb to use their computers.

Thanks, I was going to post a very similar rant.

The “just works” argument IS a valid one and they would have a point – IF Gnome’s defaults were in any way sensible. They aren’t. The entire workflow is a nightmare. (I made the apple comparison – Well, uhh… MacOS is also a walled garden that doesn’t let you change shit, but at least it’s got very decent defaults)

Gnome’s file manager didn’t let you type in FOLDER ADDRESSES until a few months ago, ffs. And sure you could, even then, use an alternative file manager.

… But at that point you are fucking with the premise of “just works”, because you will need to use non-default stuff.

How the turntables

Nintendo called the 2d graphics chips on the NES and SNES the “PPU” (picture processing unit)

What is it with Lemmy and terrible-quality ragebait today?

First the guy on nostupidquestions trying to say arguing in bad faith was based actually

That’s bait.

Gnome in general is undeniably made competently by competent and talented people. If it wasn’t, it would break a lot more.

Those competent and talented people also managed to make extremely bad choices at every turn, and seem ideologically opposed to the idea of customization, resulting in an environment that is fundamentally painful to use unless you very specifically fit the box of what they expect users to be like.

It sort of feels like an Apple product, in that sense. Very well-made, but god forbid you don’t want to do things exactly as they say you should
