- Comment on A free Nintendo Switch 2, two weeks' paid holiday, and a pile of money for Lies Of P devs after hitting sales milestones 6 hours ago:
Literally the second paragraph.
As originally reported by South Korean tech site The Elec, staff have each received a previously arranged 10 million won bonus (about £5400) early, alongside two weeks’ paid holiday. This is on top of South Korea’s mandatory 15 days paid holiday for employees that have been with a company for more than a year.
Can we not do that annoying reddit thing where people don’t even bother trying to read the article?
- Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market? 4 days ago:
I have a Kobo. My wife has kindle. Kindle is better if you want kindle unlimited. Kobo is better for everything else as far as I’m concerned. Especially if you want to sideload your own books via calibre or just dropping them onto the device when plugged into your computer. My kobo hooks up directly with overdrive/libby for borrowing books from the library and does everything i need it to.
I don’t have a specific model to recommend though. Mine is nearing 8-10 years old and still working

I mean science memes so could at least refer to them by their binomial name. Cyanocitta cristata and Cardinalis cardinalis

I grew up house poor, and one of our closest family friends was very wealthy. I never quite got a gift that expensive but it did happen. Frequently got gifts that were $200 or more which is more than we could’ve returned. One year i got a gaming console and a bunch of games. That was my first console at a time my dad was unemployed for over a year.
If it bothered my parents, they never said anything. I do think if i had to return some of those gifts i would’ve been resentful. Not all people give gifts and expect the same monetary value in return. In fact that is part of the point for them because it is a gift that someone wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. I try to do gifts like that too except I’m not rich so i try to guess what something they need but don’t know about. Both can serve the same purpose of getting a gift that they wouldn’t have gotten themselves by removing a barrier (cost in one case, research on the other).
You have already asked the parents, the parents are cool with it, sons friend is cool with it, and your son is cool with it. I think you should be cool with it too. I do think this will make giving gifts to this friend difficult, so you’ll need to have your son lean in that second category. Or if sons friend is self aware about money he won’t be asking for $1k+ gifts from friendsq

What? You’re the one complaining because I didn’t agree with you.
I’m not complaining because you didn’t agree with me. I’m pointing out that you cared enough to reply (despite asking who cares) and I’m also pointing out that this saying who cares is a rude as fuck thing to open a conversation with.
You can disagree with me all you want, that’s your right. If you want to be rude then don’t be surprised when someone calls you out for it.
- Comment on Half-Life 3 is reportedly playable in its entirety and could be announced this year 1 month ago:
who cares?
Well, looks like I’ve got some upvotes and i got a reply for you so I’m guessing some people care. Tbh you just sound like a wet rag here and if you only want to hear about things you agree with then you can go talk to a mirror.
I’m fully aware some people are excited for HL3 whenever it comes out and some people are content to wait. I’m merely stating that the ship has sailed for me. Heaven forbid someone doesn’t consider gabe a golden god.

Doubtful. I have played 30 hours of video games this past year (bloodborne after finally being able to play on PC)

Honestly HL3 shouldve been out a decade ago for me to care. If it ever does release then im just not all that interested anymore.

If you’re creating a community to sexualize something then lemmynsfw would be the best place for it imo unless there is already an instance for that topic (furry, anime, etc). It has nothing to do with how popular or commonplace a thing like bikinis are.
Personally one of the things i love about lemmy is that there’s a lot less objectifying women on my /all than reddit because a lot of these ‘bikini’ (and similar) communities are mostly under a single instance which can be defederated.

- Comment on Petition: Bring the Affinity Suite to Linux - #AffinityOnLinux 1 month ago:
Developers make software because they want to, or because they are paid to.
Consumers can use free software because it fits their needs, or they can pay for software if the free options don’t suffice.
Consumer demand for paid software drives paid software development.
You claim to be an open source developer, cool. There are people who are not developers who can’t contribute code but still want software. Sometimes that software needs to be paid because some free options aren’t “there” yet. Yes they could pay or donate to open source developers, but they can also tell a company they want to pay for linux software which is what this thread is about, in a community that isn’t focused on open source software
- Comment on Petition: Bring the Affinity Suite to Linux - #AffinityOnLinux 1 month ago:
To play devils advocate: please name me an entire open source list of alternatives for each part of affinity studio/adobe suite.
For bonus points, all programs should be mutually agreed by other people as “the best not Adobe” and for extra extra points, they should all be part of a studio package for ease of installation for creatives
Now if someone made these demands in an open source thread they’d probably get a new asshole ripped open for being entitled with such requirements for free software. Instead, someone is saying they’d pay for affinity Linux software that meets this criteria but youre telling them to use open source which is not helpful.
Don’t get me wrong, open source is great. I do use gimp but i still need alternatives to affinity studio and it would’ve made moving to Linux much easier if i could use affinity on Linux.

Sit for a minute or two to air dry and then use a towel or few pieces of toilet paper to touch up any wet spot. Still much less toilet paper than if you didn’t use a Bidet.
Also some Bidets have actual blowers lol.
