But then newbies would get killed a lot and cry, and stop playing. For some reason, this didn't happen 20 years ago but now, it's appearently a big fucking problem if a player doesn't feel powerful in the first five minutes of the game..

I think gamers are just really entitled now. They expect awards for turning on the game. And God forbid if someone else kicks their butt because they have more experience.

I was playing quake and unreal tournament growing up and I got absolutely wasted in the beginning. Made me laugh so hard. Then I got good, very good, because I had to be to not die.

Slow news day huh.

We need laws against AI torturing people with this shit. Now it's just playing with us.

I actually say no to hiring more devs because it takes like a year to get someone up to speed, with lots of effort and time invested from the team.

I'm not a manager, I'm one of the devs. Don't want more people because of the burden of training them.

It's not tinfoil, they have been caught doing it and they continue to do it. It's a scumbag company.

Made me smile. :)

They couldn't create a tool without putting Win in it's name even :)

Guess we should add Lin to all the Linux package managers....

That's true. :)

There is relief right now if you don't follow politics. :)

Since you do, I guess you enjoy reading about the worst of humanity.

1984 , vor einem Monat

I disagree actually. It affects your life but you can't do anything about it. What the politicians say is just hot air anyway. It's pointless to get emotionally involved and manipulated by their statements. Even bad for you.

I don't see them usually. I'm not subscribed :)

Had a meeting today where I felt exactly like that and was hoping I didn't show it. :)

People should be talking about void. Such bullshit. :p

Yeah it just works now. Sometimes I miss the days where we had to troubleshoot sound drivers, because it made us learn so much. Even if we didn't manage to fix the problem, we learned about how sound works in Linux.

True but without the US, western Europe would belong to Russia or China... That arguably a lot worse.

It's the lesser of all evils.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

I'm a racist because I don't want China to control the western world the way the US is controlling it? :)

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Yeah China seems worse to me.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

They would if they could. Imagine China having a powerful air force like the US have. They would dominate every country in the world just like the US is doing. The US puts almost all their money into high tech weaponry as well.

The US is going after the middle east to get oil and to establish military bases for future domination. Has nothing to do with liberation or democracy.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Disagree on that they are the most evil, but yes they are also evil. China, Russia, US.. They are all evil. But the US seems like the lesser evil to me.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Do you have any actual arguments? So far you are not really contributing to the discussion at all.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

What's cringe is your comments here... You just contribute nothing to the discussion.

Why isn't it good that the US is controlling things? And why do you think it's better if China would?

That's how you have a real discussion.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Skin color is completely irrelevant. Now I think you are just wasting my time and trolling. :) I've been called a racist like 3 times now. Is that what you guys do, just play the racist card in every discussion? Certainly seems like it so far.

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Lol ok. :)

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

You are not wrong. I agree they do all these things. And I don't know what China does. I live outside of a China naturally, and I don't know anything about what's going on inside. We hear scary stories of course, and the leader of the country seems insane by western standards at least. I don't think China cares about human rights very much. And I would not be surprised if people gets killed and made to disappear if they are inconvenient.

But honestly, I don't know anything. I'm not there. I haven't seen with my own eyes anything.

I would just be a tourist. I would of course like the people. People all over the world are quite nice. It's the governments that are not...

1984 , vor 2 Monaten

Thanks for the long post. I realize there is a lot of propaganda to try and decipher. We live in a world of public appearances and PR. :)

I work at a medium size company with hundreds of Linux servers and none of them get updated. Because it's more important that they keep running as they are than to have the latest updates. I bet this is very common for most companies.

People are probably not feeling better under communism. But yes, the state of the world is just super depressing. We have zero good world leaders, and no future to look forward to.

1984 , vor 7 Monaten

Absolutely awful shit and I would be ashamed for decades if I acted like this to another person.

Really shows the worst of him here. It's rare that he becomes this toxic and humiliating.

Stop spying on your kid... Jesus.

1984 , vor 11 Monaten

Google "Only spy the web" is highly inaccurate...they are everywhere. In every website, in your android phone, in your YouTube, in your Google drive, in your email, in your Google maps...

Anyways... I will calm down now. :)

They are even part of paying for the massive underwater cables between continents that all internet traffic runs through.

They took everything over.

It's the most extensive surveillance network in the world.
