The won’t kill Windows until there is some alternative for consuments and no, Linux ain’t it…mostly because there is still a big faith in common folk that Linux is some arcane tech. Which is pretty much proven in their opion when they try to use it, cause they try to use it like Windows.

And no, Lemmings don’t count, most of us have some kind of dev experience, be it professional or hobbyist.

Eh, Trump’s stupid enough to openly oppose peaceful protest. And Americans seem to have a reaaaally short fuse when someone physically spits them in the face.

Soon, they won’t be so peaceful.

This rule is ancient. I never seen such signs in my life - read about them in history books tho

Not who you asked but I live in Poland and our self-checkouts are pretty flawless in my opinion. Simple combination of scale, bardcode scanner and touch screen and voila. Most shops that have them, have at least four of them. Supermarkets often have 6-8 and dedicated employee to oversee them, sometimes with their own touch screen and ability to bypass age checks or weight problems from their stand without moving to you.

They only scream if you scan something age-restricted or if weight doesn’t match. The second problem was much bigger in beginning, nowadays it’s actually rare.

Edit: Oh, and we do have that scan-the-receipt to leave. Again, early on they were…less than flawless, but today they work ok. Heck, one supermarket got it installed only a year ago and damn that scanner is snappy af. Sometimes scans code before I manage to fully position it xD

Pole here. I love how it goes against what I see here. We were under communist rule for a long time - you know, utilitarianism over all, gray being almost the only acceptable color…although we did have a lot of green spaces. These were fun.

What I am seeing as time progresses is that bleak building style going away and even commie blocks gaining colors. Sadly, some of the green spaces get cut for parking lots…but that’s sadly obvious, back then people simply didn’t have cars so parking spaces weren’t really that big of a thing. Like, what, there was 0,1 parking space per unit? xD

So it’s funny that bleak and bad communist vibes USA propagandised so much against is now slowly coming to america, while leaving countries which were under USSR tyranny. xD

Arx Fatalis.

Saved every potion I could for the whole game. Then, when I was going for the boss, I’ve taken them with me. I was playing a mage…and I cheesed it by constantly casting non-magic area.

I had almost unlimited potions. And boss was relatively weak without magic. I was playing a mage, but had some skills in criticals… it was fun xD Basically two wimpy morons in a slugfest, but I had a whole warehouse of potions on me xD

For me the distinction helped allievate alienation. But that shit should really be applied per case >_< And if it would be dropped altogether, I guess I wouldn’t need it as a kid either.

…also dunno. Like, are they telling people to commit? That’s what it sounds like. If you dare try to fight for your country, we will try to murdrr you - so you need to be ready to actually fight because there’s nowgere to run.

Do they know what animals do when pushed into a corner?

Not giving them enough attention.

Here I am. Didn’t want animal because I struggle mentally a lot and I know I don’t have vapacity to keep them occupied. Partner finally understood and backed off just for her mom to put us in situayion where either we takr her cat or it ends in shelter. Cat my partner spent a lot of her life with. >_<

Or like, you know, focus for a second and read the message instead of seeing text and responding only to first sentence, if not just the title xD

More like, 10 worked, was fast, was a nornal OS. 8 sucks ass, 11 is adware, 7 was fun, vista was bloatware, xp was woking.

I used both 95 and 98 but as a kid and don’t remember much.

And I’m not even 40!

Not much experience, but quickly learned .bind() in JS after it switched me to window instead of object.

Look at it’s like that. If you change out one part at a time, everyone considers the ship the same.

Change many components at once and what you hear? “It’s practically a new ship!”.

Here, Ship of Theseus solved by instinct and linguistics.

Older gens I’d say. My mother had afriend who always came in without knockin and just…vibed. Like they suddenly materialised in kitchen and talked while eating or materialised near table and drank coffee.

My partner’s mother had someone like that too.

Meanwhile I am having a meltdown if someone tries the door before knocking (they are always locked anyway)

I mean, imma be honest. Hierarchy helps. You need someone up there to see the bigger picture. But you also need enough horizontal movement to be able to execute the piece of it that falls to you.

I am gonna be blunt also, I am one of people who cannot graps actually horizontal structure on bigger tasks etc. I do however get it on smaller scale and with competent people, it’s probably hella more efficient. For example thanks to not overloading someone “up there” with decisions and responsibilities.

I mean, there are admins and mods, don’t oversell it. ^^’ But also I am honestly lost on how do you manage to think of hundreds of interconnected forums basically as one thing.
