Apparently the idiots are mad that official mod support hasn't come fast enough and that official patches break unofficial mods.

That sounds like a great reason to threaten someone /s

100%

I program -- yet I've been asked to fix a camera and Apple Maps.

They mean jank:

jan·ky adjective, informal adjective: jank

of extremely poor or unreliable quality.
"the software is pretty janky"

The things that make me a good programmer:

  1. I read error messages
  2. I put those errors in Google
  3. I read the results that come up

Even among my peers, that gives me a leg up apparently.

To make matters worse, they keep reusing the same names for things. I honestly don't know if I use Google Pay or Google Wallet? I just push the credit card icon on my phone.

Also, does the point of creating a game have to be making the "most" money? Isn't it enough to make something awesome and a profit?

The people who make up the 2% market share using Firefox overlaps with the people tired of AI - specifically LLMs - being shoved into everything.

Mozilla just released a LLM-driven website generator a few months ago. Why are we assuming they won't add something similar to Firefox?

If Mozilla wants to use machine learning, awesome. But how about we treat the techies who support them like adults and say "machine learning" instead of using the AI buzzword which is overloaded.

NewEgg is such a shell of its former self. They went from fighting patent trolls to platforming scammers.

I doubt most people know that country TLDs are different from vanity TLDs. I know when I look up domains, they're usually all smooshed together and then the terms are in a giant block of ToS.

The Lock In / Head On and Dispatcher series from Scalzi are pretty good.

The entire Murderbot Diaries series.

The first Hell Divers book was good (I haven't read the rest yet)

Well yeah, if you go on strike when your union says you shouldn't, you're going to lose your job.

Yeah it's a scam. They'll claim they lost all the money that went into making the movie because no one would buy it for the price they wanted. If they'd sold it for the highest offer, they'd have lost less.

How is that any different than burning down my own building and claiming it as a loss in my taxes?

 

Thinking about doing another run with a single class party. My first thought is druid, because between the subclasses you can get a good mix of healing, AoE, and tanking. What other classes might work? Is there enough gear to go around for this to work?
