My website uses webp because my images go from 5MB down to 100KB with no quality loss.

My wallet and slow internet users thank me. Plus my website isn’t meant for people to save images. Not sure why you’d be saving images of my products.

Too scary lol. I got it with my index and never played. Really wish valve included a less scary switch in the settings, because it’s one of the best made VR games.

Just can’t do it. Not built for it.

You could have worn the best mask available to you this entire time and leaving the house one time over the last 3 years would still out you ar risk. Short of being a shutin forever, what would you have people actually do?

Maybe America shouldn’t have declared COVID over when it was at its peak because they were “tired of wearing masks”?

I still wear my mask because COVID is still around. Never caught it. I have always properly worn it, wear it every time no exceptions, and be sure to properly wash my hands as well as wipe down my groceries and everything else that enters my home.

My girlfriend and I are the only two people we know that has not gotten COVID.

The amount of people I see who claim they wear their mask all the time but then post Instagram photos of them hanging out with people is too damn high. Just because they are friends or family doesn’t mean they can’t spread COVID to you lmao.

Ya, Play Pass is like Apple arcade. It has also been on the play store for years now.

Just seems weird it took so long to come to Apple arcade, when it was on both the play store and play pass for a long time.

I find that it very much depends. It was very positive a month ago, but day by day I see a lot more arguing, name calling, and petty downvoting.

Why did it take so long? Stardew Valley has been on Play Pass for years now. Seems weird.

Literally reads a chain of infuriating events for all to see why one might be angry. “Didn’t happen to meh”.

So why are they angry? What is happening to them, that isn’t happening to me? Are they unable to request refunds? are they unable to buy Microsoft games outside of the Microsoft store? are they unable to buy the DRM free games from Steam?

They are pulling shit from years ago, despite me proving that Microsoft not only makes it easy to cancel, but they do refunds for unused days.

They hate Microsoft and Valve for not being able to “own your games”, despite me showing that steam has plenty of DRM-free games, which doesn’t require Steam or any authentication to play.

They are bringing up the past, despite Microsoft currently showing that they are dedicated to gaming, and providing a really good experience, as well as publishing their games on Steam instead of only their own store.

Why so angry? Why not look at the full picture, and judge based on current events? Microsoft may turn evil, and being skeptical is fine, but at what point are you beyond being skeptical?

Also, not sure why you gotta call me names. Have I called anyone else names this entire time? Can we just have a fucking discussion instead of turning into Reddit 2.0 with trolling and name calling? Jesus Christ.

I tried posting this comment already but it didn’t go through? But I literally got a partial refund from Microsoft for cancelling my subscription. They refunded me for the unused days.

Not sure why you’re so angry at Microsoft.

You blamed him for a bug in the OS because he didn’t do things exactly how you think they should be done. You didn’t give an opinion, you shifted blame.

Sorry you feel like having a discussion is toxic, but telling someone you stopped reading half way through and saying goodbye is, in fact, toxic behavior.

I’m fine not having a discussion with you further.

I’m sorry, but blaming him for breaking his os because he didn’t check for updates first is ridiculous. The difference is that in Windows, the entire os wouldn’t break if you decided to install steam first. If it did, you would blame Microsoft. Same with MacOS.

It’s not his fault. It was a bug in the os, which is the fault of the pop_os! developers. You also can’t blame him if the command he used was wrong, because Linux users love giving terminal commands to people without explanation and refusal to explain how it could also be done via the UI if preferred.

You know what the better reaction would be? To criticise the developers for allowing a bug like that to make it into production. To explain to the user that it happened to that it’s not their fault, it was a rare bug, and was super unfortunate. Offer them an explanation, maybe suggest other distros that are more polished, and help them with their Linux journey.

Blaming them for something that wasn’t their fault isn’t welcoming, isn’t going to want to make them want to stay, and will make sure they think twice before trying again.

Not sure why you’re upset that he didn’t want to use Fedora? That’s the beauty of Linux, there are plenty of distros. That’s what sets Linux apart. Maybe you don’t want to use Ubuntu because of it’s layout, or a different distro because it’s red and you like green. No matter the reason, who cares? Guess what? I’ve had more issues with Fedora than any other distro I’ve ever used. If you asked me, I’d say Linux Mint is the best ootb experience, and I’m sure someone else will tell me that Linux Mint fucked their wife and killed their cat and that I’m a stupid racist for thinking that.

Edit: also want to make it clear that windows and MacOS both have their own issues, some of which are really bad. No OS is perfect, and I think we should stop being weirdly defensive over a damn operating system. If one of them was leagues better, multiple OSes wouldn’t exist.

Okay. I don’t see the need to be a negative Nancy and be upset at everyone all because the company has the potential to screw you over. Microsoft nor Valve are being bad guys right now. They are doing wonders for PC gaming, and as a gamer, I’m really excited.

I’ll change my thoughts and opinions as needed, but for now, I’ll enjoy the small victories in life.

Also you do realize that steam allows developers to upload DRM free games to steam, right? Where you can copy the .exe and play the game without ever installing steam? Not sure why you’re upset over steam or think they are a required DRM.

I know. I didn’t say they were. That’s why I said we can be skeptical, but there’s no reason to be so upset screaming fuck Microsoft when they are currently being really great when it comes to gaming.

The same could be said about steam, by the way. At any moment Gabe can fuck us over, or can die and we get fucked, but until we see that happen, I feel like we all trust steam.

You can be skeptical over Microsoft, especially because of their past, but their new manager in charge of their gaming division is doing really well. In fact, I’d say investing in Microsoft for gaming right now is a better deal, considering it’s a cheaper monthly fee. My steam account has a bit over 10,000 dollars of games in it that Gabe can take back at any time. That’s 666 months (55.5 years) of an Xbox game pass subscription in Canada. It’s more risky for me to continue buying on steam. I won’t, as I love steam as a platform, but it still is more risky.

I know what you’re saying, and it’s definitely possible this will backfire on us, but currently Microsoft has been really dedicated to PC gaming and have been really good to PC gamers.

All games are released on game pass day 1, which means you can play all of their new games for cheap vs having to pay $100 CAD+ for them. They are also releasing their games on steam, which means you don’t even have to use their platform. They are also integrating other companies into game pass, so you can play EA Games and Ubisoft games if you have a game pass subscription. I played the crap out of battlefield 2042 through my game pass subscription.

They also have the ability to play Xbox only games on PC, which is super awesome. It requires the next tier up, and then you can straight up play Xbox games on your PC. I was playing Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. It launches the game in some kind of cloud gaming emulator thing.

So idk. I don’t really agree with your Fuck Microsoft attitude, because they are currently being really incredible for the PC gaming market. I say we can be skeptical about the future, but I don’t really see much to hate on right now.

Edit: Microsoft also doesn’t require a subscription. Like I said, you can buy their games on steam, or you can buy them from the Microsoft store. A subscription is optional, and it’s nice for people who want to pay $15 CAD per month and play a crap ton of different games instead of paying out right for 1 game.

One of the Linux challenge videos. Either part 1 or 2.

The Linux community loves hating on Linus for this, but honestly, it was a bug that popos has now fixed, and the video genuinely shows how difficult Linux can be for the average user.

Didn’t hover zoom turn malicious like 8 years ago or whatever?

Almost every place I call has a voice mail limit to prevent people from rambling on. Some places are 60 seconds, some are 120 seconds.

If OPs place is similar, they might only have an hour and a half of work.

That’s how much Samsung S22 Ultra sells for. Or I guess did, before the S23 Ultra came out.

Nah. My $2000 CAD unlocked directly from Samsung device had ads and bullshit pre-installed apps before I even inserted my SIM into it.

I returned that phone so fast. Never seen anything like that on my Pixel.

pee pee time is ouchie sometimes.
