Makes you wonder how they intend to convert people to their way of thinking if they don't have the patience to engage in thoughtful discussion about differing points of view.

"It's not my job to educate you!" /j

I get that there are trolls and people engaging in bad faith, but it feels like nearly nobody has any patience for differing points of view anymore. Disagreement or just unfamiliarity is now some sort of unforgivable moral failing, no one is allowed to have previously held a different opinion that changed, and people who agree with you but not to the same level of extremity are the worst of all because they are traitors. Insane fucking purity tests. Keep us all fighting each other instead of ever being able to coordinate enough to effect any change.

So damn frustrating.

Could you not pirate it? Pretty sure PS3s have been blown wide open.

And this is why you need to at least try to back up your important stuff in more than one place

It's the best Mumford & Sons style stomp and clap song about drinking piss you've never heard! As far as I know, made purely with sentence mixing and auto tune, no AI.

I just turn off read receipts if it's really a problem, or let them see that I've read it. Who cares?

The whole point of this shit is asynchronous communication. They can interpret my actions however they like, and get over it or not as they like.

That is one beautiful staff.

Corporate thought also simultaneously believes the reverse:

Things aren't getting done? The team that went from 11 members to 3 while their incoming work rate tripled must not be working hard enough. We should consider outsourcing.

I haven't checked the reviews, so I don't know of any actual problems with it, but in a lot of ways they set themselves up for failure.

It's been in development for what feels like fucking forever, so expectations are high. It's the successor to a massively popular game that influenced so many memes and a decent bit of online culture, so even without bloated expectations it has huge shoes to fill. Lastly, it's the sequel to a game that relies entirely on user made content to thrive, so there was always going to be a big gap (which may never actually be filled) while you wait for users to make new content for the new engine or to transition existing content over.

It's something you can put on Facebook for some reason, or maybe it got it from some event planned/scheduled on Facebook.

Someone else mentioned Facebook Marketplace, if you have the person come to you for the exchange.

It's also worth noting that nearly nobody uses %appdata% that way anymore. It's not even synced by default with enterprise OneDrive. And roaming documents folders need specific setup by your admin as well. Most don't because it complicates shit. They'll usually just give each user a dedicated private folder on a network drive and mount that at login, or they'll be even lazier and use OneDrive to sync across devices without all the network drive hoops.

Also some programs, including some Microsoft developed ones, will install into %appdata% to bypass the need to have local admin rights to install for all users. On one hand it's handy. On the other it makes blocking users from installing shit more of a pain. On the third hand it makes it real annoying to manage drive space when every goddamn user gets a separate Teams install by default.

How would it prove they owned it vs. "they had it in their possession long enough to make a bit for bit copy"?

In the embrace part of the cycle, it seems. Not sure they even know how to "extend" anymore.

Oh, the economic house of cards that people have been predicting will collapse and cause the next depression needs the risk spread out? What a surprise!

I still think it's funny that this big deal historical classic is effectively named "Joe's Story". Iirc, the meaning in the image is a sort of post-hoc meaning based off the book itself.

Seeing as how in both the original anime and the manga/brotherhood, the power in them came from human souls, I'd venture to guess that wouldn't work.

I mean, that's hypothetically less invasive than requiring your photo ID, and it's exactly what people have been asking for for stuff like Steam being required to identify a user's age. If the account itself is over 18 years old, the user is. If it had an attached debit card, you can probably assume it's an adult. Etc.

So on one hand, eww privacy. On the other, it's info they already have on you and better than forcing ID.

I have a whole bunch of old towers I've accrued over the years, and family audio CD and DVD collections. Now hard drive space has become a premium for the backups, but I bought a whole bunch of powered SATA to USB adapters and a PCIe slot USB hub for my desktop. Had multiple CDs backing up at a time using every disk drive that still works. ExactRip, configure the drive, and then just swap out discs as needed while I worked from home.

Haven't moved on to DVDs yet. CDs are easy, you just use ExactRip to rip to FLAC. Haven't figured out a general use way for DVD ripping yet, especially because whether I want the special features backed up or not, or multiple audio streams, depends on the disc.
