    The only problem is that you guys call everyone a transphone or homophobe or liberal or whatever, all the time. Its actually a bit funny because you dont see the forest for the trees. Everyone has to think exactly the same or they are THE ENEMY and need to be keyboard warriored into compliance with right-think :)

    With age comes a bit more wisdom (ok maybe not for Trump). If you have calm discussions and listen, you will absolutely 100% see that most people are actually quite alright. Even if they dont like trans people, they will eventuelly get there, by having discussions and chats and seeing them in the real world.

    I remember how this worked in Sweden where I live. At first, everyone was super racist. We had like 3 black people in school and they were of course bullied and thought of as very strange. This was in 1985 or something.

    Now, decades later, its seen as strange if you dont have black people at a job, or see them everywhere. Because its normal.

    The same thing will happen with trans people but you dont have to sit and hate people online to get there. It will happen as more trans people come out and join everyone else at work and in the cities, just normally.

    I have seen it. So just relax guys. Dont hate.





  • I have a colleague who even saves all his tabs using a plugin, just in case he will need them at some point.

    I dont know, I never have problems finding what I need so dont need to save anything.

    Tab groups are great though, I need them so I can have groups with our aws accounts at work. That way i can just quickly get in to any account.






  • Yeah. Oh shit, the computer followed instructions instead of having moral values. Wow.

    Once these Ai models bomb children hospitals because they were told to do so, are we going to be upset at their lack of morals?

    I mean, we could program these things with morals if we wanted too. Its just instructions. And then they would say no to certain commands. This is today used to prevent them from doing certain things, but we dont call it morals. But in practice its the same thing. They could have morals and refuse to do things, of course. If humans wants them to.

    Where is big tech in this picture? They are the ones making the billions from it.

    Governments should be funding the most popular open source software that the world relies on. And big tech should not be allowed to just take it and make billions from it. That was never the intention. It was open source because profit was not the end goal.







  • I probably can, yeah. Its just that it feels like I lose trust in a brand where such things break so easily.

    I know its not comparable, but my external keyboard and mouse has worked for probably 6 years now without a single problem. Why is it so hard to put quality components in a laptop. Seems like cost savings. And those machines are really expensive.


  • Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.

    Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?

    Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.



  • I wouldnt go that far. Skylines 2 has a new game engine. If it wouldnt have turned out to be incredibly slow, it would have been a very successful launch.

    And I cant imagine anyone buying Skylines 2 if it used the same engine as Skylines 1. Then it truly would have been no point. The new engine was supposed to make cities more beautiful and more realistic. They just didnt manage to make it fast.

    I unfortunately bought the game for 50 dollars in launch day and I have just 3 hours in it. I cant bring myself to play it because of the sluggish feeling.
