I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.

Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don’t give them any money.

It takes a special kind of person to go through all that effort and then say, “Oh, that test showed that the Earth is round. There must be a problem with the methodology! Just like the previous dozen tests.”

It’s a website where you can buy music. I prefer having music in OGG or Opus format, and most of the time you can only get MP3. Bandcamp gives you the option to download your music in several formats, and one of them is OGG.

That’s starting to change, because I can find more file-sharers who are using FLAC as storage becomes cheaper. Then I can convert FLAC to Opus. However, Bandcamp also gives you the option to stream music from their app, and it’s nice to have access to so much music on my phone.

How did you know that he was doing it on purpose? Some people talk that way naturally.

A voiced labiodental fricative.

It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)

Read it again, slowly.

Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.

Why do you park in a driveway and drive in a parkway? What is the deal?

Oh, I used to do this all the time. You see a word in print, but you never hear anybody say it, so you wind up pronouncing it wrong.

I think the best was when I pronounced “misled” as my-seld because I thought it was the past tense of “misle”.

This reminds me of the time I had a co-worker tell me “That’s why they call it ‘work’. 'Cause you’re working!”

There’s always one in the comment section. And today, it’s you!

Thanks for doing your part.

Doing things the hard way doesn’t make you smarter.

At the risk of stating the obvious… It’s so people know who the artist is. It’s the same reason why people use a watermark or signature on visual media.

What’s wrong with Electron?

Those are not your two options. Society will have to reform from technological pressure. Political activism, such as lobbying for a universal basic income, is part of this.

Trying to fight progress just so you can keep your shitty job helps neither you nor society. That energy would be better spent on a future that’s better for everybody.

I don’t want to do a job that a machine would do better than me.

And then where do you think your income will come from? It won’t. Come from anywhere. You’ll just be out of a job, no longer able to afford rent or food, but don’t worry because for a brief moment, they really maximized shareholder value.

Yeah, that’s my problem, and, on a broader scale, society’s problem. When enough people get hungry, things will have to change. The alternative is…doing pointless labor that a machine could do better, just to prop up a failed system. Forced inefficiency. How depressing is that?

Why does it keep asking me over and over again, then…and then other times, it doesn’t. Did I accidentally move my mouse like a robot? Several times in a row?

Which corporate policy is it that causes the website to default to classic Teams even though your company has switched to v2 Teams? I don’t know why I can’t just log in to v2 instead of having to switch every time.
