RuneScape was just a series of typing exercises for me. Eventually I got an auto typer but I’d still throw in my own messages to try to throw off the bot detection

Wish we had this instead of a growling guy in a mask headbutting a clown

trackball mice

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you’re a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it’s a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. ‘1-800-COL-LECT’ Never intended you to type it as ‘1-800-222666555-555332228’, you’d just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that’s what you’d have to do to write it with T9.

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

I agree with your friend.

If there’s a media that I want to continue to exist and similar works to be made, I will buy it. Depending on how much I enjoy it I will wait for a sale or pay full price.

I’m not convinced the alcohol is the determining factor in shitheads being shitheads. Domestic abusers wouldn’t disappear if alcohol did. Drunk driving, maybe, but it would be replaced with other substances or forms of negligence.

Drinking responsibly does have short term social and mental benefits when used responsibly, and less severe long-term health issues.

I’m not advocating for alcohol consumption by any means, but it seems obvious to me why it’s viewed more positively than smoking. It helps people enjoy life. Smoking doesn’t, really.

Network effect might as well be a monopoly until the network kills itself.

I take issue with the concept of one company owning an entire communications network in the first place. Federation is a step in the right direction but it’s not enough yet.

It’s an issue of userbase.

WhatsApp can and will get away with a lot before it drives users to a mass exodus, when messaging should have just been an open protocol from the start.

There are plenty of free and open source messaging alternatives, they just don’t have the branding money to make sure a user base appears. To some degree the people using the apps are choosing the proprietary option.

We collectively need to be doing more to support and promote free open source software to avoid this issue. Secure peer to peer communication protocols should be more more ubiquitous than even http.

Why?

Religion is a collective delusion and college graduation shocks me by how ritualistic it still is

My new job has 18 people in a training class where we are asked to read the content out loud. The amount of grown ass adults that will literally make up different words blows my mind.

Which is a different service called YouTube TV, so yeah, probably reasonable to call it ‘watching TV’ in that case, considering it’s in the name.

Who watches movie and TV shows on YouTube?

I watch primarily YouTube and it’s all hobby/educational content. And it’s not 6 minute videos. It sounds like you’re stuck in 2005 YouTube era.

Haven’t watched ‘TV’ in over 15 years
