I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

That's a massive leap. Even if they legalized recreational, and that's a BIG if, that doesn't mean they will expunge existing convictions.

The destruction is epic but I'm really not a fan of the only 2 game modes. Just give me classic TDM or something...

Maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't be picking domains based on stuff like "hehe it says queer as fuck lul"? What did they expect to happen picking Afghanistan of all places for the domain of an LGBT instance?

But the cops have no reason to think the child is in the home at all? The mom called them because the bus never dropped him off and couldn't get ahold of the school or bus company. She KNEW 100% her kid wasn't home, they just refused to take her at her word.

I was merely acknowledging that there are two extremes to this mental struggle: loneliness, and people who are overwhelmed by having too much contact.

And that's the problem. While those two extremes do exist, this post is not about people overwhelmed by having too much contact, it's about literally the exact opposite. OP made this post looking for support and validation of the loneliness they feel, and your first response was essentially "Yeah that's sucks for you, but I and many other people desperately crave the thing you suffer from". You're not wrong, the issue of people feeling overwhelmed is an equally valid issue, but there's a time and place to bring it up, and this post wasn't it.

My piece of advice is if someone presents an issue to you(or in this case, lemmy at large) and is looking for support or advice on the issue from you, avoid contrasting their issue against other issues at all costs. No matter how well intentioned you are(and I DO believe you were well intentioned, fwiw), at BEST it will come across as "that sucks but others have it worse" and at worst it can come across as "that's not an issue most people have, so thinking it's an issue means you are the problem".

Gaming cafes equipped with gaming PCs is a pretty big market in China. Even if they can't afford to own one personally, lots of Chinese people game on PC.

You can still upgrade, you'll just have unactivated windows 10; that can be fixed in less than 5 minutes with a trip over to github. You might need a boot drive, but you won't lose any data which I assume is the main concern.

Your comment prompted me to check in on Skyblivion and surprisingly they actually have a release year planned, finally!

...2025.

Exactly. If they actually were independent contractors, they could charge whatever price they want for a ride. But they can't, Uber decides how much a ride costs and how much the driver gets of that cost. Independent my ass.

Too good looking? Lmao, she's not ugly but she's generic as hell. You can find a girl that looks just like her by hanging out at basically any vape shop or crystal store.

In the case of business's, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just "switching" OS's freely.

In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?

Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I'm confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn's laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they'll chuck it in the garbage.
