You’re not digesting the content of what I am saying; I’ll just end up repeating myself, so I am disengaging with you here. Cheers.

It’s not that there is no interest. It is that the current paradigm adequately solves the problems for the vast majority of users. Oberons infinite whiteboard will gain market share when it solves a problem users actually have.
I repeat, do not fix what is not broken.

“Program Manager wasn’t broken” doesn’t really contradict “don’t fix what isn’t broken.”
The point isn’t that interfaces should never change. It’s that changes should solve identifiable problems. Program Manager eventually stopped scaling well to how people were actually using computers, and the taskbar/Start menu ux we all use today solved most of those problems. It took iterations, but we’ve got something pretty solid these days as compared to Windows 3.11.
If you think the current desktop UX has equivalent problems, identify them. “We’ve used this paradigm for a long time” is not itself a reason to replace it.

Yes. Do not fix what is not broken.

Mildly catastrophic.

It kind of looks like they bent the hose more to bring it through the window…

The best way I can explain this to a layman will only work if you watch anerican football.
What is a “catch”?
We can call a catch a catch, but unless we go further and state things like “must have control of the ball”, “must have one foot inbounds” etc etc etc, we have an incomplete rule that will allow for things we did not intend. So we narrow the existing rule, because ostensibly it is what we meant, but we need to be more specific to communicate the full idea than we originally believed.
In basketball… What is a travel? Seems straightforward…

I have like 30+ folks blocked. My tolerance for bullshit is too low so I have switched to tagging people with reasons why I might go over the edge and block them.
He’s 2 or 3 more interactions like this away from the block list. Any overt hate speech or dehumanizing shit still gets an instablock.

Keep telling yourself that.

You can either take the information you get – that people generally don’t like you – to change your behavior or not. That’s all you bud.
Just don’t go screaming to the void about why nobody likes you. People have spelled it out for you.
Cheers.

I’ve added ‘& Mr beast shill’ to your growing list of tags reminding me why I ought to not take anything you say seriously.
You’re one of my least favorite people on Lemmy. Thought you should know. Cheers!

By sold well do you mean he bought himself a million copies so it could be said that it sold well?
That’s the entire fucking streamer house of cards.

The middle language is not a spoken language. It’s AI created an intermediary language to translate between all languages. It’s not written/spoken, it’s done on weights. It’s referred to as an ‘interlingua’

I’d pay like $40-50 bucks for regular season and like $120-150 for post season. $250-300 for super bowl. Tops.

Hate genuinely ages people worse than love.
Not to be unscientific, it’s a stress thing. Hate is stressful. Love is not. Hate is impatience. Love is patience. Etc.

People over 65 shouldnt hold office. Full fucking stop there.
If you’re absent for 30 days, you should need a bipartisan review of your well being.

- Comment on Emergency with Tim Heidecker - ALEX JONES POPPED LIKE A BALLOON 2 months ago:
They’re making fun of their fans. I think you underestimate the value of controlling a media empire.
Like, if the Fox corporation was sued into oblivion, it would not be better to let it die. It would be better to… Use it for actual news, because of its enormous reach.
Tim has been making fun of Alex Jones for over a decade. Him doing the voice perfectly isn’t new. Getting the opportunity to satirize Alex Jones media empire with a direct pipeline to his entire audience is literally invaluable to him as a comedian/artist.
It’s also, as I was saying, totally on brand for Tim.

- Comment on Everybody's Wrong About Bricks & Minifigs Case (Reckless Ben) [50:26] 3 months ago:
I wish he went into more detail about the situation with the police seeming to collude with this business owner to harass and intimidate ben. That’s the bigger story.
The legos and sick old man are the hook, but the meat of this situation is a corrupt police department colluding with a local church to protect a corrupt business owner.
Like even if Ben were just a total troll and was in the wrong… These cops have completely fucked themselves if it gets federally investigated. It’s cut and dried federal corruption by Utahs statutes. 5 to life per count. Basically a law designed for officials.
The unredacted bodycam stuff is wild.
