Isn’t it more akin to stealing money though? Or to be more precise stealing the potential of money since not everyone who pirates would ever have paid for it on the first place.

For me gaming was the easiest thing to replace on Linux. Bazzite was painless and for me ran games with better performance. Since I use my gaming PC like a console HTPC I also have a way better experience with the more steam os like gaming mode it has over the standard big picture mode on windows, since I can now configure system settings within steam itself with my controller if I ever need to.

I miss fireworks. For me that was the best. I’ve never jived with Photoshop or is alternatives.

I have since landed on krita, aseprite and inkscape. But i still miss the workflow I got used to with fireworks.

They’re meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you’ve been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you’re not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.

That’s the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.

Gotta laugh or else you’ll cry-ahh humour

Minimising is what should be done in situations like this. Perfect is the enemy of good.

Proper grammar means shit all in English, unless you’re worrying for a specific style, in which you follow the grammar rules for that style.

Standard English has such a long list of weird and contradictory rules with nonsensical exceptions, that in every day English, getting your point across in communication is better than trying to follow some more arbitrary rules.

Which become even more arbitrary as English becomes more and more a melting pot of multicultural idioms and slang. Although I’m saying that as if that’s a new thing, but it does feel like a recent thing to be taught that side of English rather than just “The Queen’s(/King’s) English” as the style to strive for in writing and formal communication.

I say as long as someone can understand what you’re saying, your English is correct. If it becomes vague due to mishandling of the classic rules of English, then maybe you need to follow them a bit. I don’t have a specific science to this.

Obligatory Lemmy is social media response

I think elevators are fixed height. You go underground once. Then when you’re about to go back up again you end up going down instead. So now you’re down 2 levels. But you never go back up 2 more elevators so the ground level when you get back up way lower than the ground at the start.

I check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)

Council pop

The worst part for teams is if you do contract work and need to be a part of multiple teams instances… It’s a MASSIVE fucking pain. Microsoft’s login processes are absolute infuriating and even more so if you have to log in to multiple different accounts that all somehow have the same email address but different tenants without letting you know which account version is for which tenant.

We had to use slack for our internal stuff so we could always be in contact with each other because you could only be signed into one teams instance at a time without jumping through crazy hoops.

I initially wanted us to move to teams but that hurdle stopped us. I’m kinda glad in hindsight.

My gaming rig was the first thing to go full Linux because I was sick of dealing with windows for a HTPC and wanted bazzite for the steam gaming mode. Not had any issues yet.

I did wait till I got a an AMD card though. But my GF uses a 3050 for bazzite desktop and she’s had no issues yet either. She had lots of issues with the 1050Ti she had before then though.

I started using Zen recently. I really like being able to get rid of all menus when I don’t need them. I don’t like it that much stock though and wish all of the customisation I did was easily transferable between devices, at the moment only some basic config is stored via Mozilla sync for some reason.

Why do gpus need geo tracking? They’re usually pretty stationary right?

There’s plenty of British-created curries or ones that have been heavily modified in the UK. If you went to India and wanted a tikka masala. I imagine it would be pretty hard to find one, and if you did it wouldn’t be like it was in the UK.

Personally I do prefer Indian curries because they get more interesting with the veggie ones though.

Is that a plot hole though? That’s just something that wouldn’t work in reality

The best one is a Chinese only one that is a massive struggle to get GApps on it. It can be rooted now, but still not exactly an easy phone to set up for Western use without caveats.

Boox Palma was so close. It just needed cellular capability.

America is headed for an age of dumb.
