Supporters seem to be under the impression that companies have a “sever.exe” file they purposefully don’t provide players because they’re evil and hate you.

There is some truth to this

They could also be contracting out matchmaking services to a third party and don’t actually do it in-house. Software development is complex and building something that will be used by 100,000 people simultaneously isn’t easy.

There is some truth to this too.

Making an MMO maintainable by the userbase might be complicated. But way more common are games that could easily have LAN based multiplayer but the company decides not to add it, or even singleplayer games that require an internet connection, just so the company can put limits on how and when the game is played.

If your resting face includes your mouth slightly open it sounds like you breath through your mouth more than your nose.

You met a fae

That’s kinda the way of the world in general unfortunately.

They want to be a sport and betting on high-level sports is quite common.

I think you mean grizzly bear. Black bears are usually more timid, although I still wouldn’t try to mess with one.

I’ve been working on my own macOS tiling window manager inspired by Gtile for gnome. I’ll probably put it on github at some point.

HDR PNG is huge

They were able to prevent Dolphin’s release on Steam

Tbf when they do change to pride logos everyone is quick to call it hollow virtue signaling

Hydrophobic coating loosely means a thin water proof coating on a material that otherwise isn’t waterproof.

Example: the previously mentioned popcorn bags are paper based but with a thin plastic based coating. (Historically we used to use wax for this kind of thing but in the modern day it’s almost always plastic)

Not that containers made of glass, ceramic, or metals that don’t corrode don’t need and typically don’t have hydrophobic coatings.

I think there’s an aspect of having it generate a train of thought helps it generate better answers.

Windows is designed to work on a very wide range of specs, so older devices as well as low-end newer devices should be able to run it.

That’s even more true about Linux. Many popular distros can be run on a raspberry pi, a 20 year old MacBook, or a state-of-the-art gaming desktop.

It’s less true about macOS because Apple has more control over the hardware so they can be pickier. Mobile developers also have more control over the hardware and can be pickier, although that’s less true about Android than iPhone.

It’s still there, buried in the settings. TBF I wouldn’t expect them to remove it, because some people probably do use it.

Rumble has been basically a variant of a traditional speaker in many devices for a while now.

Also it can still heat up, although it might not be as prone to burnout as a motor.

HDDs consist of a metal disk spinning very fast with a magnetic needle held very close to it. Enough of a bump and the needle can run into the disk, potentially destroying both needle and disk in the process.

Honestly services like Blue Apron help with this. It’s more expensive than buying your own groceries, but still cheaper than eating out. It also helps you learn meal planning to eventually be able to buy the right amount of food on your own.

(It is easier to do if you have more people to feed though, like ideally at least one friend/partner/roommate to share the subscription with you. You can do a 2-3x a week meals for 2 subscription for one person, but it’s a bit much.)

Tell that to Mario lol
