Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he's a felon is celebrated. The fact that he's a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.

He's Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.

All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It's illegal to steal someone else's property. We don't enforce that law by cutting off everyone's hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn't happened yet...

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can't moderate their platform, that isn't the fault of the community - it's a failing of the corporation. It's such a ridiculous mindset. It's a fucking video game...

99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it'll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won't hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

How does the title victimize Google?... It literally just summarizes the article, and then in the first sentence of the actual article they flat out call Google an illegal monopoly.

You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

People still unironically use chrome?

Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That's really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be "unique", but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I'd put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that's constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.

Same here, although mine was with a fresh install. Only hiccup I had was from an outdated archinstall script with incorrect dependencies. Since the system has been up and running I've seen zero issues with plasma 6 itself.

Went from mint with cinnamon and x to arch with kde and wayland, and somehow it's been a smoother experience...

It's effectively non-functional. "Absolute shit" is overselling it.

I know I could just use the proton version and get decent performance, but the fact that it has a native client that just doesn't work kind of killed my expectations for the future. It's one thing if the issues were new, but the map bug was reported over 4 years ago...

A 5 minute commute still necessitates putting on pants. Can't win there.

It's a funny situation when it comes to government work, because technically the job doesn't actually produce anything. There are no shareholders and no profits. If an asshat micromanager wants to see a bunch of people keeping their office seats warm, they don't give a shit about productivity.

My office would genuinely rather I take the day off, and that mindset is never going to change. Luckily, I get a decent amount of remote time, but there is literally no reason that it couldn't just be 100% remote.

For daily use, sure - but it completely excludes itself as an option for road trips in the US and parts of Canada. There's a stretch of interstate road near me with nearly a 100 mile gap between service stations.

I know that this isn't the purpose of this battery, but it's a valid reason why a lot of people might be hesitant to buy one. Many people can't afford multiple vehicles for different purposes. You have the car you drive to work with, and if you happen to go on a trip you just use the same thing.

Maybe 99% of use occurs within constraints that this battery can handle, but if you can only afford one vehicle, then this is still a pretty suboptimal option. That being said... it could still be cheap enough to not matter. I didn't see any mention of price in that article.
