And they do it because it works. It builds good will, shows that the product is high quality, clean and pure.

I like that indie games are bringing demos back. Like actually playable demos, not like a tech demo, the first 1-5 levels, so you can get a proper feel for the game before you shell out. 6 of the last 9 demos I played in the past year resulted in me purchasing the game.

Yer doin god’s work son…

I mean, fair play, but my comment was hardly real world accurate in it’s entirety.
Good shout though.

Well…shoot…guess I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Ffs…what a nightmare!

But if they don’t do everything they can to obfuscate the ramifications of voting No then everyone would vote Yes!

They know what they’re doing is against the wishes of the majority, otherwise they would put the choices in plain language, or weight the obfuscation the other way…

Clearly this is an action movie gun, where clip size is inconsistent.

There’s been several articles in the past 10 years pointing out that kids going for IT and CompSci degrees in college/uni are often not aware of file structures. The thought is that they are so used to just saving something on a mobile device, and when they want to use/send/view it, the apps just comb the whole system and present files that fit the required extension formats.

Wait til you learn about Gerrymandering. I’ll not get into it in depth, but essentially the local/state government in the US will set up voting regions to guarantee that one party has a massive advantage.

To discourage people from voting. As was pointed out elsewhere, the Republicans only really flourish when a small number of people vote. So they make it as inconvenient as possible for people who are lower income, usually people of colour.

Like I replied to someone else FL has been “running well in wine” for ages now. I’ve just never managed to get it functioning at all, like I wasn’t having audio issues or anything…because the one click wouldn’t work for me, and manually setting it never worked for me either. It’s been about 2 years now since I tried, and this recall bullshit means that if I can’t get it running I’ll just switch to something else and change my workflow.

FL studio has “worked well in wine” for ages now, I’ve never managed to get it properly functioning. Like I said, I’ll give it another try, not willing to have recall running on my machines.

I’ve been using Fruityloops for over 20 years. I’ve tried loads of stuff, but my workflow is pretty stuck in the FL ecosystem. I haven’t tried Ardour yet, definitely willing to give it a go, but when I’m in the mood to punch something out really quick, I already know all the keybinds, how things interact etc etc. I’ve started using Sunvox a bit. It’s a modular synth/tracker runs one everything shy of an actual potato…I think doom is the only thing I know about that runs on more systems than Sunvox. But it’s painful when I want to just diddle something quick that’s stuck in my head.

Fuuuuuck…well…my laptop was my last windows device. It came with 11 installed, and the only reason I keep using 11 is because I have had no success in running my DAW in wine. Guess it’s time to give it a go again…

Ok, tell me how many people who would be using Linux, that might have issues looking up things, that wouldn’t default to Google. There’s a significant portion of the population that thinks Google is the only search engine.

Oh, no totally, there’s people asking questions that Google used to be able to answer. Google is now a burning tire fire, and getting a useable answer from it can now be a full time job…is what I’m saying.

Exactly! There’s no reason to be that way, other than to feel superior to someone. And that’s just kinda a shit way to be!

that could have been solved with a google search

This is very quickly becoming untrue. Actually, I’d argue that it’s been somewhat not the case for some situations, that I’ve personally encountered, for over a decade. There’s times when I search forums for days, finally find someone who’s experiencing the exact same issue as me. The post is marked solved! Fuck yeah!
The post:

OP: Hey guys, I’m trying to fix xyz and I’m not able to find anything on it. Could I get some help?

Two months after initial post:

Only reply is OP: Nevermind guys, I figured it out.

Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

How likely are you to not be able to access the internet at a UK border you might be traveling through? Seriously.

There’s been quite a few times where I’ve not been able to access the internet through my phone at major airports in the UK. Heathrow, Luton, Glasgow. I didn’t have an active UK SIM I wasn’t able to get net connection through the WiFi as they were overloaded/having issues. This is not uncommon.

Also, have you heard of a download for offline usage?

See, it’s not a multi-use thing, it’s not like a membership card or a boarding pass or a credit card. It’s a code that’s generated by logging into the .gov site, and is only valid for a single use, and a limited time.
