Alexa makes an excellent weatherperson :)

Reminds me of that one essay where they talked about burning oranges to maintain the price

Greatly appreciate your solidarity 🥰

Is it ever? :)

Are there any other good ARM laptops?

Making my own custom Yahoo homepage widget by widget was really fun in 2008 :)

I agree that it’s not a very intrusive ad

This is not what I would consider an ad. I also remember seeing it only once

Still working on platniuming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It was pretty good, except for the missing last episode, and certain missions that just feel like they’re in the game for no real reason because they don’t do much to drive the plot forward

I love the weird sci-fi/supernatural atmosphere it has. The gameplay is fast and smooth, especially once your character has mobility and speed upgrades. It also doesn’t have the problem I had with Elden Ring in that it feels like it took forever to travel from place to place in ER. MSGV has much faster movement

Depends which games. I play Metal Gear Solid V, and it works almost flawlessly, aside from minor audio issues when objects in the game world move very fast (using a balloon to forcibly yank a downed enemy out of the combat zone creates a quieter than expected noise)

Other than that, it works very well :)

That thing looks super nice!

Looks vaguely like the older Zunes

I miss when MP3 players were popular. There was a lot more variety in consumer tech before 2013-ish

I got you beat! One of my coworkers made eye contact with me while I was at my desk. I slid my monitor to the left to cover my face

I like my coworkers, just don’t like being in the office, even if it’s just an occasional thing

Reddit taught me that correcting people on misinformation on Islam is a waste of time. I remember an argument I had with some dickhead where he called me “bonkers” for being Muslim, citing only the most inhumane behaviors and mindests that could loosely be attributed to the faith

Appreciate you pointing this out

Are the first-party mod tools that bad? I wouldn’t be surprised seeing how bogged down the redesigned Reddit website is

Tbh, the codebase being in Rust is probably not doing them many favors. Many people rave about Rust, relatively few actually learn it

Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Cloudflare issue

Discord is a weirdly polarizing social network, in my experience. People tend to either be on it constantly (like me and my friends), or they create an account and then almost never use it

I’m also genuinely confused :(
