  Expand this, please. I am sure I did not get you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be fixed: we can choose to produce less idiots and more caring people. You are right, of course, that it is not the only thing we should be doing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  What should be fixed is people. The above described logic is true, it does really happen, and behind it is the idiot desire: to get more money. Not to make a better thing, not to make someone’s life better, not to build something worthwhile - in other words, nothing that could get me out of bed in the morning. When that’s the kind of desires fueling most companies and societies, all things will be going in all kinds of wrong ways

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it should also work without browser exactly as it does with a browser

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W.XP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What have you done, a cruel person. Also, take my upvote

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that is worth being scared of. Thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… The abstract (sorry, will read article a bit later) is bunch of nonsense to me (in respect to what is written, no offense to you):

  • online experience commercially viable? The fuck they are talking about? Yeah, I know what is meant, but they would get fucking F in school for expressing thoughts in such a nonsensical way

  • protections against illegal content would not exist on private servers? Really? Like only your company’s servers can run that? What, you write them in machine code directly? Or is it all done manually? Anyhow, just release source code and it will be up to community to find a way to make it run

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Developer choice, ha-ha, very funny. I am not familiar with the industry and still feel safe to bet most of them just want to get enough money for doing what they can do without too much stress/disgust and also most of them don’t have a desire to see their work die just because some manager decided it is time to make some other games instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saving this to share at work. What an abomination that, I am sorry you have to deal with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll add another voice to the choir: yes, something else is going on. Before you get a breakdown, do look for a good therapist and most importantly do take a look at what really matters to you. If you are not doing something that really matters to you (this need not necessarily be your job), depression will come

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨just beat it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve got your point: that’s not whar we call sound, but yes, the showel and casing will reverberate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨just beat it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, ultra-not-sound. Thank you, o wise one (/s, of course)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨just beat it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, there is a well-known experiment: take something that produces sound, put in a glass, suck air out. Won’t hear a thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨just beat it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It does (ok, one catch: if there’s an atmosphere), sound has physical nature. The trick is in asking whether music/art/languages exist after any sentient life is gone

  I can’t comprehend why you are getting downvoted, please take my upvote

  Speaking broadly, humans are very much capable of living without purpose, but that needs a stable ground and very balanced system - something that mostly does not taken care of, but that cannot mean to belittle what you are doing - the way you live, it is better what so many people are doing with their lives (and in many ways much wiser), and I am glad you found the strength and willingness to live as you do. Thank you for living like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It really is not. But I don’t mind watching you try :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t make sense. I know I am not a game or movie, but realising “I am not this body and not this mind” is something that doesn’t happen to most people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, that’s a road to hell. I will always know this “meaning” is my creation. So either I won’t takenit seriously or force myself to become dumb enough to believe my own fairy tales

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, you will not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns happiness is simpler than he thought⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good start, anyone who wishes can use a level-up of this:

  You. Will. Die

  So might as well enjo the ride while it lasts

  Compared to known universe, you are less than a spec, you mean nothing. Everything means nothing. So might as well enjoy what you like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tragic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Me on Windows: can I play a game at 10 PM? - Nah, I’ve serious not-your-business shit to do, so enjoy your throttling animation

  And that was years before “Ima going to screenshot whatever you are doing every 10 minutes or so, processes it on your computer and store. Safely store? Lol no”

  So no, it was my first operating system, but modern windows is a pile of hostile crap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. This is much appreciated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak masculinity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, I am not caring about my girl enough. Take my upvote! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To join Facebook these days, one must record a video selfie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. And here I thought MS all-screenshotting garbage was the peak of fucking over. Guess I need a bigger basket of popcorn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yess. I boggles me that the narrative is still “devs this, devs that”. It doesn’t take becoming a game dev to understand that actual software developers are not calling shots on plot twists, monetisation model and so forth. Like, what the hell is wrong with people babbling about devs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are perfectly fine, the world has gone crazy and you feel it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t and won’t have enough time. On the second thought, given I managed to complete one run of BG3, things do not look that bad. And it is on Steam even, thank you for pointing! :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays old games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing wrong with you. It is just that this mechanics is not something that can be a source of fun for you. This happens, and it is normal. Blaming you for this is same as blaming someone for not liking salty food or pink colour: makes no sense. And when you look at all those folks enjoying BG3, remember there is me who still did not have a chance to play BG1, and won’t have one for some years to come. In a way you are more lucky than me :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate the modern web⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, fine with me. Closing one tab is no big deal, let the website die
