Back in my days it was called sales pitch, or an ad. Granted, I didn’t read very deep into it because I’m allergic to ads and the language like that makes me irrationally angry, but after my very brief glance and short clicking through links, I didn’t find any links to anything but another ads, endless paragraphs of ads no doubt generated by the same program they’re trying to sell.

Calling whatever people do with their flags “dumb” is bad, uncalled for, and in bad taste. Calling motherfucher who dun it “motherfucher” is ok, citizenry, and possibly even praxis

Sorry, wasn’t my intention

I don’t think it’s strictly speaking better, (but I’m biased because I love Strugatsky), it’s such a separated thing, it’s completely different from the Roadside Picnic, the book it’s supposedly based on

The way he starts with something, then goes on a tangent, and then pulls it all tightly together in the end is just master craft all around. The guy is absolutely amazing

I feel like this story lacks a lot of details

On one hand, I support your right to waste your time on your gay little rants, but being rude to other people isn’t exactly great.

let’s just leave Poland as it was - non-desired

wasting your time on dumb shit

Motherfucher, you’re ranting on Lemmy. Pot throwing glass stones much?

I don’t think you remember how difficult was to install anything back then.
I mean yeah, installing Linux was more complicated, and you couldn’t just google shit. Still, I was making pretty good money back then on the side specifically because regular user wasn’t able to do shit with their computer.
Linux was harder, both were difficult, both required separate set of skills you couldn’t just get.

For me it’s “this comment shouldn’t exist” button. Sometimes it’s because it makes the experience of reading worse, regardless of the content of the comment. Sometimes it’s because the content is so bad.
But i don’t just downvote something if I just disagree with it, it should be bad

By the way, situation with Hitman is interesting, because petition as it stands, will not address the issue with it specifically. Hitman technically has offline mode, and it’s even playable as a game. The fact that it doesn’t have that part that makes it so interesting isn’t actually addressed.

If not for the price.

Which is the whole point. They chauferring you a burrito, and make you pay for their insurance.

The notion that the burito has to be driven by a personal vehicle is what’s laughable here, not that sometimes you want to order food

Visa and Mastercard processing fee is slightly less than 2% of a total operation. Who takes the rest?
