recency bias

lol, by that argument you’re a bedwetter who suckles on your mother’s breast and doesn’t know how to read or write

dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’

Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.

I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries’ civilian populations.

One thing I don’t think has got enough attention is the fact that it does a fetch from Truth Social as well, which means Trump personally gets at least some indirect data on the app’s users on a server that isn’t even slightly controlled or contracted by the government.

Fun fact, Mercator would in principle be even more distorted than it is, but almost every map that uses it crops at least the top and bottom 5 degrees to hide it. Mercator’s original cropped to 66°S - 80°N, which shifts Europe towards the middle.

Nice. What did you use for that one?

https://niy.ai/worldmap lets you reproject Mercator to put any landmass you want in the middle by clicking on it, but it doesn’t have that overlay thing.

Remember CDs? Actually owning stuff?

I went back to Winamp last year and don’t regret it at all.

You know how sometimes a story seems so completely crazy, that you wonder what detail has been left out? Like… the payment provider just randomly wanted a list of all passwords? What?

There’s a sequel novel to the UK time-travel sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart on kickstarter, where all the future pop culture references that Gary Sparrow used to make start to catch up with him as he gets older.

Aside from all the other issues surrounding it, every demo I’ve seen so far is creepy uncanny valley stuff that I found unsettling and wouldn’t want to be playing.

The irony is that I typed JIRA in lowercase and my phone autocorrected it to JIRA

I’m amazed they had 1600 employees to begin with. I guess it takes a lot of resources to make something suck as hard as JIRA

Neither of them are fresh out the box clean installs, they are what they are.

But anyway, I’ve been trying to engage in good faith but you keep being obnoxious on every single post you make, so it’s Block time

I very specifically said “my windows machine from 2011” because it’s still in use.

it doesn’t account for modern computers doing more now than they did then.

We know they do more, but most of that “more” is bullshit bloat and sloppy engineering, neither of which we asked for.

When I boot up Windows 11 and start no programs, somehow there’s already over 8Gb RAM already consumed, the CPU shows 8% utilisation, there’s 244 processes running, and it still took every bit as long to get there as my Windows 7 machine from 2011. That’s what the rest of us are talking about.

What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away.

Literally my entire point was that people are offering some strong opinions without having read the complaint, and here you are demonstrating exactly that.

As a general rule of thumb if something sounds stupid then it’s probably been reported badly with some key information missing. I’m betting the music industry press reporting will be very different from that of a site called “gamesindustry.biz”.
