You really have to press your advantage to prevent them from thinking about that

Do you…think Hisense is in charge of releasing those? Or TechRadar?

Kids can’t contribute to FOSS because then it’s child labour.

I don’t get that opinion. It’s a place where you, depending on what you pay for, get to eat and drink as much as you like, while reading in the sun. Sometimes you even stop in ports and find other cool places to visit later. If you can’t ignore the other passengers, then you need a higher level in Ignore.

That’s why I try not to touch most things with my hands.

I should also order more handkerchiefs

First, Epic, now Oracle.

I’m never gonna get another job in software, am I?

Edit: I physically let out a cry of pain after reading possibly 10,000 engineers of varying seniority had been fired (incident was reported on LinkedIn and judged based on the dip in Oracle’s internal Slack membership count).

Yeah, I should just start trying to move into a new field, huh.

The only reason touching doorknobs is gross is because people don’t wash their hands.

Unless you’re willing to opt in to some kinda bathroom panopticon that locks the bathroom until everyone trying to leave has properly washed their hands, it’s probably best to just avoid a knobbed door.

That is a really cool idea. I think the problem is it’s just a bit too niche. A good portion of the people intrigued by the narrative and world-building might get stymied by the travel simulation (I’m envisioning both flying and sailing) and the simulation nerds might just skip past the text and story to get back into flying.

It’s certainly something that an indie dev has to shoulder for pure passion of seeing an idea come into the world, and that requires an idea that grabs you. Targeting it as an underserved market will only backfire.

A lot of trouble comes from people’s declining reading comprehension.

No, FenrirIII, it just makes you ugly.

What?

I wonder if they’re really huffing the shit they’re spewing? How much are they getting paid?

Having lots of money earned does not make a person bad.

They never said that. So maybe you’re disagreeing with their reasoning because you don’t know what it is.

They say billionaires are bad because they have a lot of money and don’t use it to help people. This isn’t even talking about billionaire who engage in actually/actively morally wrong deeds to acquire money.

If you produce a product so excellent that consumers give you 1 billion dollars ($1.000.000.000) in pure profit, there would be no problem if you kept a nest egg to ensure your livelihood and then used the rest to provide aid where it’s needed. You would still be a bad person for sitting on it, instead of spreading it to help people that aren’t well off. A person can live very well on $300K pretty much anywhere in the world: that means $999,700,000 is not materially improving your life and you are hoarding it for no good reason.

Why are they booing you, you’re right?

Turret’s “serious” comment said that you claimed people should know about/have awareness of that Flesch-Kincaid reading level as a determinant of literacy…but you never said that.

I will admit I had to go back and actually read both comments because I tend to tune out long comments (many long comments are slavering diatribes not fit to store in any memory, long-term nor short). Maybe that’s what’s happened here.

And it would be good if they showed something like that on screen. Shows Jon as a kind friend, if a little too soft.

Or maybe…they’re too transparent.

Was this fucker on Epstein’s island or something? Why is he gargling sack, and why has no one told him it’s a bad idea to do it to Israel?
