Anything that doesn't require high tech still works really well. Don't need to worry about tracking software that tries to sell you something with say a horse or two. And as a bonus you get lots of physical activity as well which is healthy.

If you are only ashamed of your actions after you were caught, you are not ashamed of your actions. Grade A trashy behaviour that has no place in the world.

Real scenario: you wouldn't see that happen.

Hypothetically it could cause economic collapse because now there wouldn't be money to back up all the loans that are outstanding. Followed by mass layoffs of people and all the other fun stuff that comes with it.

More news at midnight.

Yeah no shit! That was clearly and visibly going on from very early on...

Basically... A lot! Just to have what effectively amounts to a painkiller. Now don't get me wrong, those are great but you know what's better? Solving the issue that causes you pain to begin with.

There is no consent in "you have to agree"

So... As someone who uses the all feed and that includes finding this post and subsequently interacting with it. There are reasons to use all. I use my subscriptions more as bookmarks to have an easy return path to a community should I feel the need to really check up on that particular community. I then use all to browse for interesting content to read and possibly interact with. I don't use local because that feed gets stale with things I have already seen very fast and I don't look at only subscribed feeds because I don't want it to be an echo chamber of my own preferences.

I block communities that don't interest me, can't interact with reasonably anyways or that are simply annoying. As it is I don't see a problem with using all since it still drives interaction via comments like this one. You can't really restrict voting either since that creates more issues than it solves. Remember that voting on a post is interaction too even if there is no comment from someone. Perhaps that person is short of time or just doesn't have anything to add.

At the end of the day it is personal choice how people choose to discover and interact with content.

Microsoft Corporation is confused. It hurt itself in confusion.

It's tricky to quantify education globally when there are different school systems that can't be compared against each other. For example because there is no direct comparison that could be made against say... A college.

What is generally universal is university degrees but even those can vary wildly in quality. The same goes for having learned a job. Hell some countries don't even accept university degrees from other countries because they don't meet the local standards.

The thing about years or time spent in education is that people can spend additional years in education if they fail a class. And nine years of education may just be as good as someone who had ten years but failed in one year. It also doesn't account for other differences like people that spent additional time in one year for additional education.

Anyhow, there is no simple way to quantify education. If you look at the percentage of people who graduated you may get a better idea but then you still need to differentiate between education systems and how many people in a given country actually got a given graduation. Even then it doesn't tell you anything about how good the education actually is because education can be manipulated.

Years of time spent in school ≠ education level.

You can spend lots of time there and still be dumb as a rock that learned many things but didn't understand any of them. On the contrary you can have people that got the short end of the stick and got cut off from further time in education that are really smart.

Every time I unintentionally find it. Mostly for being annoyed at it even being a feature.

I don't own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don't have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don't like how they handle those consoles. I don't run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft's property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather... Mediocre and I just don't have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

I don't hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or...

Either way, the market isn't infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.

 

I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 "Lunar Lobster" has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can't unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.
