I’m used to debian, it was the first on the list of distros I downloaded to try and it worked right away, so I kept it. Overall, Pop Os is unintrusive and works, so it’s perfect for me.

If you are doing web development you can’t really run from javascript.

I suppose if your only concern is whether a bomb is going to drop on you, you are correct. But maybe you should consider if being kidnapped, tortured and killed without your family ever knowing what actually happened to you is “safe”

Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil and probably more I’ve failed to remember.

If you weren’t living under one of the US sponsored dictatorships, sure.

While Latin America is, overall, a good choice, it’s important to recognize that the mask off fascism we are seeing from the US will only increase the meddling they already do on their “backyard”, so keep that in mind.

I would expect Australia to be important in a conflict with China, so unless you expect it not to happen, it really isn’t that great.

Do the programs you develop run on wine? It could be an option while developing, but either way you’ll have to QA it on windows at some point.

The context will be more telling of if it’s actually rude or not. There’s a lot of chat software nowadays where you can “react” to a message with a thumbs up and people use it to acknowledge what was said.

Moving to my own house. Still need to get some work done over there but we should be there by the end of this month.

I can’t be the only one who has wasted half an hour wondering why something wasn’t working before realising the response was cached.

If the communists start getting a lot more votes, then maybe you could make a parallel. Otherwise it’s a very different situation.

Matter is made of atoms. Things are only truly rigid in the small scales we deal with usually.

My mother-in-law was super dependent on my wife for everything related to technology. Banking apps, netflix, sending and receiving money, anything related to the government she had her do it. Then we moved a few states away. We came for a visit a few months ago and guess what? She manages to do it all by herself now. Even calling an uber or finding the cat videos she likes she was able to do herself now.

The point being: she doesn’t want to and won’t learn because she has someone to do it for her. Since you can’t make her do it, then you just have to accept it unfortunately.

The very generic message makes me inclined to think so too

Let’s be honest here, they only care because when someone inevitably fucks up, people will think the fault is with windows.

It’s true that a big slice of gamers play games with anti-cheat solutions that don’t work on linux. That said most of those aren’t even on steam, which is the biggest pc game marketplace, so I’m not sure it’s that big of a dealbreaker for that many people.

The point is just that how can a developer create an experience where you have the satisfaction of succeeding against overwhelming odds when you offer the easy mode where you win by pressing one button? I understand that people play games for a myriad of reasons, but one of those IS to put in effort.

Also it was just a mistake, I don’t really care to upvote or downvote people unless it’s something egregious or great. You really shouldn’t care about it, especially since lemmy doesn’t even keep track of it.

I’m sorry to hear that, and I certainly dread the day I won’t be able to engage with the hobby the same way. But there are a million games that don’t require fast reaction times and precise lightning fast inputs.

For it to work well the developer has to change the game’s design to allow for the easier mode to work. If they don’t, it wouldn’t offer a good experience for neither the easy mode nor hard mode players.
