Sometimes calling someone a big dumb bitch is the only appropriate course of action.

Just looked at the PCB board and man that guy is such a insufferable, gatekeeping twat.

Entropy reduction. I do a lot of development work and need Visual Studio to work. It’s a complex beast already, and I don’t need to deal with the headache of fighting some activation hack or running the risk that some DLL or feature is gimped and causes weird behavior in an inactivated state.

I finally made the switch to Mint recently. My day to day experience is so much better. I set up a fresh Windows VM so I could keep using a few programs that don’t play well with wine, and even having to purchase a new activation key for it was totally worth it to have it segregated out from my day to day. And I’d guess that not all that many people really need the specialty stuff I do.

Do a little research on what you use daily and/or can’t live without, but I can confirm that it isn’t as complicated as you might think.

It’s the new politically correct way of saying “committed” suicide. My understanding is that it’s to lesson the accusatory stigma and shifting the blame away from the will of the individual to the state of their mental health, similar to how you would say someone died from a heart attack instead of died by eating a cheeseburger at every meal.

That’s pretty slick!

Same problem, new challenges.

Whoops. Sorry. It was still there on my instance.

Ring is owned by Amazon.

Good news, it isn’t just you.

Overwatch. 4,600 hours and you’d think I’d be alright by now LOL.

They know. That’s not the point of these things. The point is to spy on you. It’s not any more complicated than that. They want to spy on you and they are straight up lying about it.

Until Google revokes publishing privileges for side-loading applications. I think we’ll have to go further and get used to making PWAs and regular websites.

Flow from Overwatch 2

lol no

“Damn that’s a sexy skeleton.”

Yeah, what’s the point? You get stuck listening to him ramble about something not related to your business there. The photo-ops are always humiliating, as he tries to wrap you into whatever stupid-ass controversy he’s dealing with at the moment. Not worth the time.
