Yeah I don't see how anyone can not see it's Google... Who else is even close to having all our data? All the web searches, mobile android play backend, maps, Google streetcar, etc etc... They know everything.

In don't know of there is a huge difference to looking up examples in the docs and pasting them into the code. That's what people do otherwise, so... :)

Good for you and have fun.

I don't know which people you are talking about, but if it's adults and you are a kid, then there are some reasons behind that... :)

My kid planned a trip to Croatia with his friends and they managed to book flights that made them spend the entire night at airports, because they wanted the cheapest price.

Counting in that they had to buy airport food and hardly slept at all, and came home wrecked and had to sleep all day, meant that not only did they pay more for the trip than directs flights would have cost, they also lost a day when getting back to sleep and rest...

I mean, it's fine, but it shows inexperience and unwillingness to listen to adults who may have good ideas... :)

I thought it was great but I think older people like it more. It wasnt about something happening every 30 seconds, so if you like movies that throw action in your face, this will seem slow.

Characters also felt real and had real emotions that made sense in that situation.

Yes, it has bugs still, specially for widgets and stuff like that. But it's very stable if you don't mess around with those things and just use it.

Yes, it never crashes anymore at all for me. Lots of work went into stability and bug fixes in plasma version 6.

So please don't try it on Debian stable or something. Use the latest version!

It's really stunning these days, super professional and clean, and really good themes actually too.

I really like being able to disable the mute-sound button on the task icons, since I sometimes misclick on them during meetings... And once I had apparently done that and turned off the sound for slack, so my huddle didn't have any sound. Took me like 15 mins to find the reason since I thought it had to do with pulseaudio...

What is smart.... I mean, most of us Lemmy tech people are good at computers but completely useless and may even despise other activities such as dancing, singing, acting, psychology, and so on.

Never forget that the school system evaluates how good of a worker you can be, not how good of a human you can be. The entire system is just built for economic growth, not your happiness. In fact, you consume more when you are feeling like shit.

A bit of a side note, I know, but it's all connected to a bigger picture, so...

A lot of damaged people in the world. We are probably all damaged, honestly. But some more than others.

I'm even more impressed by aircraft carriers. Just one of those things weigh as much as 250 fully loaded Boeing 747s. And it just floats. :)

 

This is the real reason for companies wanting people back to the office.

All this talk about collaboration and team spirit is just the publicly given reason for wanting people back to the office.

The real reason is that now the owners of the buildings are losing money.

Cry me a river.

 

Another CEO for mozilla. Good or bad news?

 

I'm enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.

I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn't he? It shouldn't matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?

 

This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

 

Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

 

I liked this article. It was a weird feeling to read it because I felt like it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet...

At the same time I'm happy to be here, enjoying all the tech we have and the tools we have, the food we eat.

I still think humans can live in harmony with nature but we don't have any good leaders to take civilization in that direction. So in the end, we will probably perish because we fought over power and money until there was nothing left.

 

This could be promising!

 

This one looks pretty damn good if you are into the look Windows 7 had.

 

Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.

 

What have they done to the game?

As my city slowly filled up with buildings and residents, it also began to feel a bit empty—especially when compared to the original game which has been fed with dozens of DLC packs over the past seven years. With a mere 20,000 citizens and the designation of "Small City," the milestones had already run out of new features to unlock. There are only three different tourist attractions to build, and while there are several sports parks they're all small, the sort you might find in an average-sized town. Skylines 2 has nothing like the huge gleaming sports stadium from the first game that feels suited for a major city.

Zooming in close to spy on my city revealed a few other disappointing changes. In the original game it was fun to watch city services at work: firemen would race to a fire, get out of their trucks, and hose down the burning buildings with wee little hoses. Adorable and live-saving! For those less fortunate citizens, coroners would drive up to a house and then wheel out a sad little body bag to their hearse before heading for the cemetery. I was disappointed to see that in Skylines 2, fire engines and hearses pull up to the buildings they're servicing but there's none of those wonderful little animations. A moment later the fire simply goes out or the deceased citizen is teleported to the hearse, and the vehicle departs. Bummer.

Really seems like they made a worse game than the first one....
