  • Never heard of that idea. Sounds like a slightly lazier way to do it, but I respect it. Could be easier for accessibility reasons I suppose.

    Getting vertical tabs and hiding the original tab row is the only thing I have to mess with the userchrome file for myself, so this getting baked in will help me skip an extension setup and file edit every time I set it up on a new device. Or freshly setup device.



  • I tried it when the first one I tried didn’t work out.

    Ctrl+C hard locked it instantly every time I pushed it. I could right-click and choose “Copy”, but pushing Ctrl-C just froze whatever image was on screen. No response at all after that. Plus it was giving me a headache trying to get Nvidia drivers installed.

    So then I moved to Pop since the correct driver was baked in, and it’s been mostly smooth since.

    It’s in the name. If you were a kid in the 90s, you’re a 90s kid. Babies are not the same as kids. Kids can cover a wide range of ages, as they can be referred to as that their whole life with a certain kind of phrasing.

    I get the line is debatable, but I feel like consistent early conscious memories is about the starting line for “kid”. I’ve never really heard of it being used to mean when they’re born in conversation.

    This is just my experience, but I’ve never heard of this particular molehill.




  • Halo 1 was the first game I ever played online. I played a lot of it.

    But I was a very different person then, and replaying it now reminds me of how stupid I was (because I got into a clan that was very based on that kind of person) and the internal ick just his a fever pitch and ruined the game for me.

    I never played 2 since that was on Vista and I never went back to it after finally getting Win 7.

    After that the series just felt tainted to me. When I first tried it on a console it was really weird with the control setup. I was very used to hundreds of hours on Perfect Dark with the default controls. Having a second stick and rearranging what hand controlled what bent my mind in knots for a while. But it ended up making more sense that way (as you can easily tell by how much it caught on- not saying Halo pioneered it, but it was my first experience with it).






  • That never even occurred to me and I used to do this for non steam stuff all the time. I mean without the added learning curve of Linux but still.

    I’m gonna try that as soon as it finishes patching. If that works it would be so amazing. Almost too simple to actually work.

    Edit- It’s already working better than Lutris. It would have chunks of the UI just turn black sometimes. All the interactable bits would come back if I pointed the mouse at them, but there would be black squares and rectangles all over the place with Lutris and I just chalked it up to a weird quirk that forcing cross compatibility just brought up inherently. Never even questioned it.



  • This is true, but everyone’s problem is specifically the “overcomplicated” part. I can see a better vetting process being needed for higher skill jobs, but really just testing if they’re a living breathing person and able to repeat things is kinda pathetic. But if this is now how a hiring department/manager works these days, then it seems like asking for a resume is silly. It would obviously be most “convenient” to just be able to mass apply easily, so I can see the argument for this process. It seems that most of the complaints you typically hear about though (maybe this is just personal bias and anecdotal experience) are related to low skilled applications. Minimum wage/not far above minimum wage jobs this is crazy overkill. It just feels like a huge waste of time.

    It becomes more and more worth it the better the job gets.

    Not wanting to do double the work for no tangible benefit is not being lazy.

    Being slowed down in applying for multiple positions and being upset about it is not being lazy.

    If your company is small enough not to have an HR department then they’re clearly small enough to review resumes. Or just stop asking for them if everything you wanna know has to be spelled out in the exact right order for you to comprehend it.

    The requirement was always listed on the page.

    It not being enforced seemed to make people think that now they have a right to be mad about it.

    I just don’t see a case for this upset. What am I missing? The requirement was spelled out the whole time.

    All I see is people not reading the not-fine-at-all print and then being upset when the rule starts being enforced.

    I honestly don’t understand the problem here.

    Now why it was offered for sale in regions that can’t use PSN is a mystery. Those accounts should definitely be refunded beyond the “normal” refund window and Steam needs to pay attention to that kind of thing a lot better than this. They wouldn’t have necessarily known that the account wasn’t possible for them, so that’s totally understandable.

    But for those who are in a country that can get the account, I just don’t see a leg for them to stand on here.

    If I’m missing something here please tell me. I love using my pitchfork. But I just don’t see justification here specifically.

    If your idea to make the job easier (for you) is to make it more than double the work for everyone else, then the company supporting this move deserves to go under.

    Why should an applicant do everything twice just so some unknown wage slave they likely won’t even meet have an easier day?

    This isn’t making your job easier, it’s just making everyone else do it for you. That’s not the same thing. Do your job and stop taking shortcuts at everyone else’s expense.
