  • I totally get that, same here.

    But ultimately you can’t just blame people. There is literally an entire industry trying to sell you cheap carbs and fat. Down to the sound a bag of chips makes when you open it (this is not a joke).

    So on one hand you have evolution, your body still being stuck in the past where food was scarce. On the other hand you have too much food and it’s highly engineered to be addicting on purpose.

    It’s no surprise most people are going to lose that challenge.

    Good joke.

    You know what happens if a customer complains your website doesn’t work in Chrome? A bug ticket is raised, goes to a developer and they fix the “bug” so it works again.

    If the developer is good they’d also make sure their “fix” doesn’t break the website for Firefox and Safari. But there are plenty of developers who only test Chrome and call it a day.

    Chrome is the default browser nowadays, if it doesn’t work in Chrome you have a problem. The developer might blame Google, but the user and management won’t care.



  • end of A Realm Reborn

    Google says that’s roughly 120 hours, oof.

    I’ve been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn’t starting to be fun in the first few hours it’s usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying “The game starts at max level!” totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?

    Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?



  • Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?

    I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like “Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC”. It was tough :-/









  • At first I never used it, always thought typing with two fingers was the fastest (and actually got me the result I wanted).

    Nowadays I swipe 99% of the time on my Android phone and it is a lot faster. Especially when your phone learns the words you like to use. It’s not perfect of course and you will have to correct some words down the line (it still sometimes refuses to swipe “Fuck”), but overall I’m faster with it.

    Also super comfy for long and complex words when you just roughly swipe it and get the full word written there without errors.

    Overall though I prefer to touch type on a proper keyboard on the PC, that’s still the fastest :)


  • Ever heard of .bat files? There is no need for admin rights to steal company and user data. All it takes is opening the wrong file. Windows is also terrible about file names, per default extensions are hidden. So you can have a file named “report.pdf.bat” for example and it will show for most users as “report.pdf” with a funny icon. It’s a terrible default setting security wise.

    Btw. you’re still comparing a desktop OS with a phone OS. You have to compare Android with iOS. Or Windows with Linux and macOS.
