Yep. The day they kill old.reddit is the day I stop using it.

I feel bad that you’ve been left hanging there.

What’s the third one? :)

The plural of you is yous or ye. In Ireland at least.

I’m saying fps because that’s what the OP said they changed that caused the issue. But I guess you’re right, he must have meant refresh rate.

I wasn’t being sarcastic, I do believe you. :)

Ok, I’ll take your word for it.

Or maybe I don’t care. I’ve never used a computer and thought “I need to change the fps”.

Good question. The only answer I can come up with is gaming. If I was interested in gaming I would probably use a Windows machine. I am not though.

And that reason is?

I understand, and it’s a bug, like the Mac OS is the only piece of software with a bug. Shouldn’t be a reason to despise an OS.

I still don’t see why you’d change the fps if not for gaming. Maybe I’m too old to notice any difference between 30 and 60 fps when scrolling through a website… IDK.

I’ve never changed the fps. Why would I do that? It’s not a gaming machine.

Exactly.

I’ll tell you why: the best hardware and software that just works with it. No need to deal with drivers or any of that shit.

I still use my MacBook Pro 2011 and I can’t find a reason to change it. It just keeps working. And I say that with a 2023 MacBook Pro M2 sitting right next to it (work laptop). Sure, it’s faster, but that’s it.

Really? “Ethical” is your word of choice?

I’ve designed languages from the ground up, and written interpreters and compilers, so maybe I’m a bit of a snob regarding that kind of thing.

With all the levels of abstraction nowadays it’s impossible for anyone to understand the whole stack, so I don’t blame you for not caring how things are implemented under the hood.

But that issue with PHP (one of many) made me want to find the person who wrote that abomination and slap them with a baseball bat.

I think PHP is shit because I used it about 14 years ago (+/- 1/2 years), where it was crystal clear that the language was written by a complete amateur. I’ve example off the top of my head: you couldn’t reference an element of an array returned by a function in the same line, you had to first assign the function’s output to a variable and only then were you able to reference an element of the array in the variable. Like, WTF!!!???

It may have improved over time, I just don’t care enough to find out. It doesn’t deserve my attention.

Oh FUCK YOU !!!1!!!1!!!eins!!!

Who told you of my alcoholism, how the fuck did you find out ???

And I don’t have any anger issues, I’m the nicest driver in the world, I always stop and ask all those idiot cyclists that hit my car if they’re ok before I drive over their bikes on my way to the bar.

(This is fun, trolling you and that sub is turning into an exercise in creative writing. Highly entertaining. Ich werde weiter machen, aber nur wenn es dich auch Spass macht. Ehrlich.)
