Okay, it’s superstition, of which religion is a variant. There’s a very thin line between having faith in the supernatural and worship.

Yup. Believing in higher beings from other dimension is just religion with different words. Only when the belief is based on fact and not faith can it not be religion.

Ubuntu LTS? It can still have rough edges depending on your hardware, but solve them and you got five years of peace.

Okay Beavis, Butthead, nap time!

What’s a few billion to a TRILLION company? That’s peanuts. Everything is fine fellow citizen.

We’re still talking about dancing, right?

Makeup should disappear, and more emphasis should be applied in medically-sound skin care. Your skin should be healthy enough that you don’t need to cover it with paint.

I get that using colors is fun, but makeup as it is today is way beyond reasonable, it’s not only about painting your skin, it’s about insecurity.

Painted hair is cool though.

If you’re using AI as a more powerful search engine, more power to you, that’s IMO how it should be used.

The problem is too many people use it to avoid learning and critical thinking, because it’s much easier.

Shepherds are famous for having lots of free time to write religious fanfiction so future generations bicker about it.

You can do my chores for me if you want, I know it’s little but it’s something.

What? It feels like a web wrapper right now, I always thought it was an old backend because the web app had better functionality.

If everyone else is is wrong, it might be that he’s the one who is wrong.

Actually, I read his post and he’s definitely wrong. Having coded in plaint text editors without syntax highlighting, I know the candy store look really aids locating needles on this haystack. He’s proposing making more needles hay-colored so the ones he thinks are more important become the focus.

It’s just his personal taste, if he loves visual fatigue, he should enjoy it without criticizing others.

Wonder if they also removed the local AI translation, which I find very useful, but it’s also another black box.

I’ve been happy with Calibre Web and downloading to the official reader apps, but I’m open to try new things.

What strikes me as odd is why starting a Java software in this day and age. Java in the server is the COBOL of the 2000s, mostly used for legacy software.

Specially when those companies are valued in TRILLIONS. Nothing is worth trillions, somehow these surreal numbers have been accepted as hard fact.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! Or chronically ill, but in a cool way, really.

If you didn’t like LoZ, you’re discarding a lot of games from that era. Resources were scarce, so games didn’t hold your hand with in-game tutorials, quest markers, etc. Game magazines with tips were really popular, as were official game guides from game publishers.

That being said, you might enjoy early 90s versions. For example, Phantasy Star IV (1993, Sega Genesis) feels more modern than its predecessors, it’s one of my favorites.

Dragon Quest 4 (1990, NES) is the pinnacle of the series on 8-bit. You’ll still have to guess and get lost, but it has many modern features. Playing it first will permanently spoil you for the previous ones.

Shining Force (1992, Sega Genesis) is also a pleasant turn-based strategy game with modern, although simple, mechanics. Shining Force 2 is even better.

Accurate. Before talking, monke solved disagreement with personal touch.

This is not technical, but I hope the subscriptions are getting Lyric the dog some meat along with “Home cooked meals of green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, and brown rice”. Dogs require meat, it’s not their fault.
