  • 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…

    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.

    These things were NEVER fucking left open at the park near me. Could wait there the entire day and the same fucking kid would be using it the entire time, completely oblivious to your attempts to get him to move.

    I swear, I probably only touched the thing once when i was a child. I came back with my daughter a few years ago and nobody was giving it a second glance. Used my kid as an excuse to finally get to play with the thing…

    I mean… I’ll regularly go to the grocery store and see soda prices vary by 200-300% week-to-week. Sure, it’s all based around “sale” value, but it amounts to the same thing. If it’s $9 for 2 12-packs one week and then $11 for a 12-pack the next week, it isn’t an invalid markup because you had to buy 2 to get the first price.



  • 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.
