I remember my vista experience was excessive amounts of prompts to confirm it was using some privileged access for literally anything I tried to do.

And then you play Xcom 2 and realize that Dota 2 was meditative by comparison

Let it be known that heat death is not the last event in the universe

Ain’t that the truth.

Id never worked harder than when I was working retail as a HS student. And the worst part is interacting with assholes who thought you were beneath them, which I think it’s what this meme underlines.

was lucky to be well off to get an education which provided a way to land a cushy SW job. Mentally stressful at times sure, but I didn’t have to take shit from somebody and worry if I could afford my next meal.

Where money ceases to be something you need to think about on a day to day basis, but I think that’s when it just becomes a status symbol, and you have to make more only because the Jones bought their 4th yacht, so of course you can’t be seen with less than that! It never ends, and that’s why I think rich-ass capitalists can never have enough, because in their mind the competition never ends and no amount is ever enough.

It’s like no shit, the people who have control over what their timelines and deliverables look like find out find work rejuvenating

Yea, what happens in SOMA fucks with me whenever i think about it.

Digitizing consciousness for use in simulations, and spun up and down in an isolated environment like they are some AWS service.

what a tool

By then, cardboard boxes will be sold for billions

Blue pill is irrelevant. You already rich if you can convince family to buy stocks.

When you search or do any stable sort, I would think you want your primary attribute to be the one with most finite values? That way you are front loading the pruning of the search space.

So it’s actually on favor of Japanese style

windows updating the UI/UX with every new OS kills me. Wheres the ‘fuck off’ option when it asks for me to set up my personalization options and info?

I just wish they would literally and continued supporting Win 7. Everything after is just subpar from a usability perspective imo.

I still have nightmares dealing with a11y requirements

It’s funny that captchas are in a never ending arms race with bots trained on the same datasets capturing humans answering these stupid puzzles.

Pretty soon we’re going to be drinking verification cans
