I’ve told mine to be really direct; mean spirited almost, and it helps. It still precedes a bunch of stuff with ‘here is the straight up answer’ but it’s less icky about boot licking.

Christ, humanity at its best.

Lol you’re getting downvoted for having a rational viewpoint and wanting something you care about and enjoy to be safe for other humans to enjoy it too.

How fucking dare you

What’s the big dumb button going to do?

Pretty much what happens when you knock out something important

Not op but can you explain the difference between tactile and clicky switches?

There’s some good advice below. I’m not a programmer (vastly different field), but the most important things you can do are to:

• get to know your technical people; their skills, and their personalities

• trust your technical people when they say something is difficult to do.

These two steps will help you get a lot of ‘good will’ from your team and make them feel like you’ve got their back.

Their algorithm is already abrasive enough. I routinely find myself following people I did not elect to follow. Throw some stupid adds in there, to just make it worse…

Qazimodo offends me every time I look at it. That 005 looks a lot like my drop entr

This alone was worth the read. I’m not tech-inclined, really. I don’t read articles on tech, follow it, or know much about computer science. However, this article was really well written, and they paint a scathing picture of said ratfucker.

Seriously

I played a ubi mobile game for 2 years, and then they just flat abandoned it. Stopped support. No new content. Nothing. No warning either

As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don’t lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That’s not been deleted. You don’t lose what you’ve built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it’s about feeling comfortable with not owning your game.

Yeah, you know I don’t lose my game either saved on my CPU or Xbox with a copy of the game I don’t have to pay for more than once for a predetermined value.

This.

I had an iPhone for a decade with my work. Quit both of them and got an android. I’m way happier being able to do things more than one way and to be able to customize everything.

Phones in general suck, but if the shitty, android at least let’s you do what you want.

Imagine your bionic arm subscription running out mid shit.

Yeah, it’s not environmentally friendly, that’s for sure.

Most of the issue with mining though, come from exposing buried rock to the atmosphere, or from the tailings (crushed, processed rock)

Step 1. Get A LOT of sulphuric acid
Step 2. Get some large vats, and a metal recovery unit
Step 3. Add waste + sulphuric acid
Step 4. Collect leachate and precipitate metal
Step 5. Profit

This is basically the process used for a lot of historical mines or mines with low grade ore, except they didn’t use vats back then, but a constructed pad, with leachate collection.
