Wow what a lousy take from this exchange.

Unless you’re on a vpn, in which case the whole site is restricted unless you sign in.

I know this only because I spent way too long trying to figure out why older games look like ass on the LG haha.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 6 days ago:
Depends on your tv a bit. 30fps is fine on my steam deck, but on my LG OLED the response rate is too damn fast and 30fps looks choppy and terrible.

Yeah this strikes me as safeguarding against a possible bad decision.

No, who said there was a relationship?
A compound key is a composite key where one or both sides can be foreign keys to other tables themselves; it’s a safe assumption this is probably true in a large data set like social security. A composite key is a candidate key (a uniquely identified key) made up of more than one column.
This basically means that there is a finite number of available SSNs because they’re only 10 digits long and someone intends to recycle SSNs after the current user of one dies. Linking it to birthday is “unique enough” as to never recur.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 1 week ago:
Because a simple query would have shown that SSN was a compound key with another column (birth date, I think), and not the identifier he thinks it is.

I’ve tried to get through HL twice and I really struggle with it. About the time they introduce discount-Pokémon into the game I start to struggle.
A major improvement to the game would be contextual actions. Stop making me swap my equipped spells for every context specific thing.

Literally half my phone screen is an ad over the main content. Fandom is indeed garbage.
- Comment on Should I ask my boss for tomorrow off? 4 weeks ago:
I am a manager for a remote team. Sometimes I screw up and forget to double remind the team about holidays. Sometimes I remember but they forget anyways.
Either way, I’m not going to screw someone out of a day of PTO; I’ll usually suggest the coming Friday off as an alternative.
I would be honest, it’s a funny mistake and worth a quick laugh.

- Comment on Making peace with liking very few games? 2 months ago:
I suspect this is a natural result of having much more limited time as we become adults. I used to love all kinds of games too, but today if I feel like a game doesn’t respect my time it gets thrown right onto the “no thanks” pile.
- Comment on Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again' 2 months ago:
Lest there be any doubt about his motivations, Musk wrote in another post, “Can’t they just make good games and skip the woke lecture?”
I assume we’re all done with pretense and he’ll just go ahead and call it “Bigot games”.

Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.

Did I even watch the movie which hasn’t come out yet? I’m pretty sure I know which of us is a bot.

No.
Bring back my hopeful vision of the future Star Trek, I’m all done with this new wave.

- Comment on is it possible to be married and still feel lonely? 6 months ago:
Anyone can be lonely at any time, even surrounded by people who love them.
I’m happily married, I love my wife very much, she is my favorite person and I would be devastated and lost without her. Still, sometimes I feel lonely.
Sometimes I think about my dad who isn’t with us any longer and I feel lonely. Sometimes I think about work stress and I feel lonely. Sometimes I feel lonely for no damn reason at all.
None of that has anything to do with how much I love my wife, or her ability to “provide”; people are just complicated.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 7 months ago:
Maybe this is a regional thing, but every pizza place that I’m aware of which delivers requires the delivery driver to use their personal vehicle… and does not reimburse for wear and tear.

There’s a reason for this, they want you to download the app because you’re paying for that coupon via primary access to your personal data. Dominos isn’t just a pizza company, for a long time now they have been a data broker too.
Which I guess isn’t surprising, everyone and their mother wants to be a data broker today. It’s a good reason not to install any apps from anyone though.

Have you seen the responses here? Paints a picture on why they felt the need to defend themselves.

I just take it as an opportunity to block people these days. “You gave your kid pizza so you’re a shit lazy parent and no mitigating factor will be considered” is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t need any openings into my attention span lol.

It’s crazy that you went way out of your way to placate the internet assholes and they still found something to be insufferable about.

- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 8 months ago:
Sure, because it logically follows that the troll here is the “I had an irritating and unexpected behavior on windows” person, not the “Linux users are troglodytes” person.
FWIW, windows also did this to me as a part of the “oh god please oh please use Bing search on Edge” campaign.

I’m not sure how you messed up, because I was able to not blame the user for decisions made on their behalf without their consent, and I too saw this post.
- Comment on Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds - Expansion Announcement 8 months ago:
I had a setup that turned on the action camera when I put my thumb on the steam decks left stick, so I was always in normal mode unless I was actively looking around or moving.
It was pretty natural and the next experience I came up with, but I still felt like it was a compromise I was frustrated to have to make.
- Comment on Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds - Expansion Announcement 8 months ago:
I set up a pretty workable controller config that I played with for like two months, but even with many hours invested in fine tuning it I just felt like I was fighting the game’s UI and I gave up.
What’s really frustrating is that the game is totally playable with a controller. ANet just needs to update the menus and it would be a fantastic experience.
