Yeah, and what’s difficult is that real improvement is possible, but you get stuck in this rut where you view attempts to improve yourself as pointless.

The Evolution of Trust

The one time I tried to manually install arch on a VM years and years ago it didn’t work and I wrote Arch off. Guess what I’m running now? Well, Cachy, but lol. It’s Arch. And guess what? It’s got a simplified install process.

Have you never been in a river in the spring?

I’ve never celebrated the 4th of July because I’ve been patriotic, I’ve done it because it’s fun. When I stopped believing in God I didn’t stop celebrating Christmas. In the same way Christmas is about gifts and seeing family, the 4th of July is about fireworks and seeing friends.

I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer

Based on the types of things you’re talking about, Windows and macOS are also not “just works.” I have to do stuff like that periodically for a lot of games regardless of OS.

I don’t really understand the thought behind the question. In the sense of legality? Obviously. In the sense of someone saying something? Obviously. In the sense that people have free will? No. The people that work at water facilities are typically technically government employees. If all of them suddenly went rogue would you count that as “the government doing it”? Because they wouldn’t be acting in line with the government, but they’re still “the government.”

So, no, but actually yes, but actually no.

It’s like saying “what’s actually preventing a secret service member from shooting the president?” Nothing? Everything? How do you answer?

Religion.

No

Are you really comparing my repsonse to the tone when correcting minor grammatical errors to someone brushing off nearly killing someone right now?

Software engineer here. We often wish we can fix things we view as broken. Why is that surprising ?Also, polymorphism is a concept in computer science as well

Yours didn’t and read it just fine.

Asking a question and then immediately answering it? That’s AI-speak.

HA HA HA HA. I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE. GOOD ONE. 🤖

My mistake. Please forgive me. I’ll pray to Supreme Gates and focus on my KPIs.

Just because something is legally correct doesn’t mean it is ethical. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it is immoral.

Do you have evidence to support that the flash deal prices aren’t the prices that are there for the entire length of the sale now?

People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flash deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.

All in all I think I’m glad it’s gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.

Using AI isn’t optional? How about you review me on the results I produce instead of the tools I use to produce them?
