At the moment it looks like what the market is demanding. A few years ago specialisation was in

Springtails and certain mites also love to eat fungus. I use them to keep mold under control in my terrariums

Assassin’s Creed is the best example I can think of. It added a store to literally buy gear. Also see like every MMO. This one is more of a reach, but I’d also say something like Hunt: Showdown falls victim to this, as it would be awesome if you could see a hunter and know their “power level” by the cosmetics.

Horizon, both ZD and FW, are a modern example of having gear progression that exists and isn’t ruined by microtransactions

I feel like gear progression is massively underrated. I love to dress up with my muscley rpg man, and make him look cooler and more awesome as he gets stronger. I don’t want the best cosmetics locked behind a paywall. In MMOs it also just murders any respect/cred you get from having awesome gear that needed you to clear an epic raid or similar.

I get the whole cosmetics thing for “free to pay” e-sport-esc games though, where there’s not really any gear progression

Yeah but if you call her a chonkin’ land whale first, you can then turn around put your sunglasses on and power walk into the sunset 😎

Just to clarify, at different times and on certain specific distros. So the meme is still correct. It’s not strange that a bug several months ago isn’t affecting Linux at the same time as the Windows bug.

The Linux people can be annoying, but that’s not an excuse to spread arguably false or irrelevant information

You have truly made me look a fool 🥲

I can love what I do as much as I want. But I’m going to become homeless and die if I don’t get paid.

Lots of businesses use your logic to underpay people, like in the games industry and with Zoo Keepers, but at the end of the day they need something to stop them from dying

If all 50 people want to clean 1 toilet, 49 people are shit out of luck

You’re welcome <3 You seem like a kind person, and those people are easily taken advantage of. I don’t like seeing people lose that kindness because they forget to put themselves first.

This person you’re dealing with could have any number of good and valid excuses for their behaviour. But it’s still straight up abusive, and could equally stem from a harmful and malicious place. Unless you know for sure, the best you can do is not antagonise them.

An official report would be valid in your situation. But I wouldn’t get involved any further. Just save her messages and any evidence you have of her behaviour, on the off chance it does escalate and you or another coworker need to protect yourselves

Whilst I agree with the above, remember to look out for number one. It’s important that you prioritise your own mental, physical, social, and financial wellbeing over that of a coworker you don’t seem to know all that well.

It’s important to give the benefit of the doubt and be charitable when you can, but not at any significant expense to yourself

The people who are more likely to retain a PC and not just use a phone, are more likely to be tech literate power users.

This selects against casual windows users, and selects for hardcore Linux users

I’m not sure where you’re going with that? I would argue that yes, it is. As it’s sexual material of a child, with that child’s face on it, explicitly made for the purpose of defaming her. So I would say it sexually abused a child.

But you could also be taking the stance of “AI trains on adult porn, and is mearly recreating child porn. No child was actually harmed during the process.” Which as I’ve said above, I disagree with, especially in this particular circumstance.

Apologies if it’s just my reading comprehension being shit

Is this sarcasm? It’s lost on me

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die

Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens

Can you at least make the text smaller? That way people aren’t as bothered by it, but you still have your licence?

CUDA accelerated JSON parser is sorely needed

You too, it’s always nice to have productive polite discussion

That if you make a black and white statement with no nuance, it inevitably turns out to be stupid.

Freedom fighters are often branded terrorists. But not all terrorists are freedom fighters
