To this day, the only instance I have in my blocked list. 
I think it's because businesses tend to focus on super easy access, user interface and user engagement first, while open source projects tend to focus on tech and often forget about the end user experience.
This strategy has been working pretty great for oil companies. They've managed to extend their existence for decades.
Coax used to get faster than 100mbps. We are in an age where 1Gbps is standard in many parts of the world thanks to fiber. Again, starlink is cool but not a direct competitor to cabled internet today.
I don't have complaints, it's just not a comparable technology. It has much lower bandwidth and way higher latency for a higher price. It's good for its purpose which is to give access to people that could not get it otherwise.
Do I have to say it? Starlink is much worse in every metric compared to fiber. It's a decent option for people that don't have access to fiber or need internet in remote places.
The thing just launched. There will be stock of it if only people waited a bit. The fact that people need it this second is what makes the scalping business so successful.
I've heard someone describe it a long time ago as "high tech, low life", where technology has permeated society to the point where even poor people have access to it, but at the same time most people do not live a good life and the tech is not helping. I haven't been able to think of something that fits that description and doesn't feel cyberpunk to me.
Absolutely loved the casting in this. The movie feels so deliberate and there are so many great moments in it, but that final scene with Lucifer is just perfect.
Isn't Bazzite just Fedora with more stuff baked in. If anything, Bazzite is supposed to be even easier and more compatible.
Your confusing them with Bostown Dynamics. Understandable mistake.
No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.
But if you are the parent that knows everything about this why not teach your kids? Great bonding opportunity and they get to not be clueless about it.
Because she is moaning about a certain gender's privilege and the argument is that the limitation that leads to this privilege is entirely inflicted by the presumed limited gender?
Eastern work culture is often times boss level of toxic, but it's very hidden and subtle compared to western.
Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I'm concerned.
Like someone else said, £60 in today's money is £9k. Per year. What am I missing because that does not sound like a decent wage.
Wait, why are you impressed by £9k per year? That is below minimum range in all western society.
That means you get the chance of playing the game in exchange of your data or not playing it at all because you live in most of the world where Sony accounts aren't even available.
Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.
These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?
It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.
I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?
I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
