Yeah that dude was just a dick, but probably confidently, and in a field people don’t know much about, so he was able to get away with it.

I work with UX people frequently, and while they do love a good style guide, they’re usually more concerned with the overall usability, legibility, and accessibility of an application. They’re the people who (should) ensure your application works as expected and follows design and accessibility standards.

By talking to your fucking kids lmao

Like, have a conversation with them. Treat them like a person, a real human being, with thoughts and feelings and basic decision making capabilities, instead of treating them like a wild animal that needs to be leashed.

Everyone immediately thinks “it’s impossible for parents to be aware of and block everything they don’t want their kids to look at on the Internet!”. But maybe the first step should just be talking to your kids about what you do/do not want then looking at on the Internet, and trusting that they’ll heed your warnings. Tight fisted control over what your kids can/can’t see on the Internet should be the last resort.

You must not have seen The Weeknd’s halftime show a couple years ago

Cool?

Yeah see, not everything I do is intended to influence something. Sometimes I just stand on my morals for no other reason than they are my morals.

You’re combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother’s cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.

No, it’s because teenage boys eat a lot

This type of behavior is usually caused by extreme social anxiety coupled with depression, ADHD, or some other mental health issue that causes executive dysfunction.

It’s not “just being shitty”.

Assassin’s Creed 14

What the fuck there’s 14 Assassin’s Creed games? Surely they’re gonna run out of historical periods soon. It’s only a matter of time before the announce Assassin’s Creed: Unga Bunga where you just sneak around the forest as a cave man

It’s a bunch of technobabble loosely related to his harebrained scheme to launch a fuckload of solar powered AI servers into LEO.

I play tons of multiplayer games with anti cheat. The ones that don’t run are the ones I wouldn’t even play on a Windows machine though

Moms 10 times out of 10, no contest

Yeah I’m saying cars should be safer, not that KDE should kill you

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I definitely recognize that gaming isn’t 100% perfect on Linux yet, and graphics drivers can still be a pain. I think both of those statements hold true on Windows though, and I don’t think I’d consider a gamer an “average” PC user. PC gaming is a niche hobby. A large niche maybe, but it’s not the main thing people use a PC for. So I think it’s a little unfair to point to gaming-related issues when trying to claim that Linux isn’t user-friendly.

So Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act and/or martial law, which puts him s step closer to totalitarian control of the country. It would also weaken the country greatly, leading to societal and economic collapse and chaos, potentially even collapse as a world superpower, opening the door for Russia or some other dictatorship that Trump is friendly with to fill the power vacuum.

And cars are one of the most dangerous things on the planet, accounting for nearly 2% of all annual deaths by themselves. So maybe safety features are actually good?

The distros that tout themselves as user-friendly come with pretty much everything an average, non-power-user would need pre-installed ootb: Internet browser, file browser, media player, app store, and some sort of settings app/menu to fiddle with basic things like screen resolution, input devices, audio settings, etc.

Has your experience been different? Is there some specific distro or some specific missing/confusing feature you’re talking about?

Oh fuck did we go back in time? We got Nigerian-Prince-level scams on Lemmy now!

I really want you to understand that no one in this thread is out to get you

What?
