Yes and no, they are behaving like Azeris. This is not acceptable.

Well, my sister shared her recommendations with me and those featured using dark themes among other things.

And I get too emotionally tired of just using a light theme (or even a lighter dark theme).

So I think yes.

You mean that sound of finger bones clicking against one another? Just have to clap sufficiently hard and fast.

oilets in India (and probably rest of Asia) are at ground level, with two porcelain blocks on either side to keep your feet on (the blocks are set into the ground and have a rough top; neither you nor they will slip). Most hotels will also have western toilets.

Also this was the most common kind in the USSR.

“Western” seats are something more luxury, may or may not (EDIT: back then, not now, though I haven’t been in really depressive parts) be present even in apartment bathrooms.

Just relaxing and knowing where your center of weight is helps.

(My practice is Moscow in early spring or late autumn days after everything melted and froze again.)

Common for everybody learning a language in an educational institution without RL practice. Immersion, of course, is the best way to learn a language, - gives good results even if you didn’t know it at all before being, eh, immersed.

Most of social media has been like this for me since forever, same with RL groups I don’t choose, like school or university, frankly.

Their intention is to value a separate person with their statement as little as possible (in extremes as little as themselves). Your comment isn’t supposed to be considered an individual thought, it’s supposed to go into predetermined classification, using some key words.

People with little brain power would simply feel themselves bad without such classification. While with it they can deceive themselves that their “yeah sure we believe you lol” is equivalent to a proper expression of your thought materialized in words.

Other than that, reading texts is a rare pastime for some.

they now just focus on key words and assume they have all the context they need.

In other words, any text around the keywords is supposed to just be a decoration. Because the purpose of a comment is to choose sides in their greens-vs-reds game, you are not supposed to convey any thoughts, what a thought even is again?..

Makes sense, I started feeling on the same wave with most of the humanity while reading the news somewhere around my 5th-6th grade.

Games, Steam, firmware, fopnu, darkmx, “Skype” (relatives), WhatsApp (relatives), Telegram (relatives and work, I don’t care if the client is open), Opera Presto (sometimes for nostalgy).

Ah. No such meme inside Russia.

I mean, there are from time to time suspicious deaths of such people, and the timing is sometimes interesting, but these are all kinds of deaths, - heart attacks, car crashes, aneurisms , whatever.

???

Living in Russia, sincerely don’t get the joke.

Asphyxiating because of the poisonous gasses from a pickled cabbage tank, or drowning in vodka, or something like that I can understand. But what’s with the windows?

I remember transferring files via IR. It was convenient.

Not agreeing to false logic (say, out of pressure to be polite or non-confrontational), especially when the next step would be doing something based on that logic. People sincerely don’t understand why deceiving you once like this won’t work another time and think it makes you an asshole.

I mean, if somebody thinks you should alter your behavior for them and they shouldn’t do the same, then they are confidently an asshole.

Actually I like this.

All those people who’ve been trying to keep corporate technologies “open” were, in fact, working for the corporations to make people come to them. Most unknowingly, maybe. It’s just, well, litany of Gendlin case. You rely on corporate power, even if you are trying to hide it and talk about “open Web”.

The most important thing is that we take ideologically corporate technology where it’s not needed (there’s been plenty of hypertext systems in history, some kinda successful, and all that JS and AJAX stuff and various frameworks on top are so complex not because of any usefulness, but because of the corporate goal of backward compatibility, lumping everything together and even intentional complexity to cut off competition, and a single space).

We’d be just fine with a bunch of incompatible between themselves Hypercard-like things working over network. That’s what I think.

I really dislike Apple for what they’ve been in my somehow conscious years (born 1996), but things like Hypercard and Hotline (or KDX) from their older time seem to be just the right way to use personal computers.

Any single space with propaganda of “fragmentation being bad” is either not immune to what has happened to the Web, or already compromised.

Can’t decide between at least:

Homeworld

Frontier: Elite II

Warcraft II

Burden of the Crown

X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance

I’m checking off all the abnormal demographics here.

Well, actually women doing extremely cool technical work are in perception more normal than women doing more usual technical work. =\

You have to find peers, I’ve lost most of them anyway since I haven’t launched it for a month or so.

That’s a manual process, though finding people on chats and forums once you have at least one online peer is easier.

Ah, yes, saved me the heaviest (and longest to make) povray scene I’ve ever made after accidentally deleting it.
