Correct.
Correct.
It’s hard to care about people who develop games to encourage and monetize on gambling addictions.
You are correct. Voting isn’t going to solve this problem.
That’s the point that’s being made.
I really think we need to amend the constitution to allow a true democratic vote of no confidence for all federally elected positions.
Yeah, you might as well not vote. You’re never going to sway enough people to vote independent to challenge one of the big two, especially since the choice right now is between old people or people trying to establish a fascist theocracy.
I think you might need to clear your cache.
A few months ago I was tasked with translating a script from one IBM emulator program to another because the owners of the first program wouldn’t respond to requests to purchase a new license.
The scripting language used on both was unique to the software, and the documentation was basically non-existent. Plus, the script was written over a decade ago, and the guy who wrote it was long gone.
For weeks I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out the logic flow before I realized that it was essentially BASIC, which I haven’t touched in over 20 years.
You’re just trying to get the device into a known good state.
The truth is that it’s rarely worth trying to find the root cause of an issue unless it’s a frequent problem.
Something somewhere went wrong. We don’t know if it’s a hardware or software issue, so we’ll try a solution that covers both.
Powering the device off stops the flow of electricity, and waiting a few seconds makes sure that any capacitors (think of very tiny, very fast batteries) bleed off the power they’ve stored. Then turning it back on makes it go through the full startup process which is likely to result in a working state.
I mean, it’s mostly an inhospitable wasteland.
It’s not surprising. I mean, there’s a reason jokes about hating your spouse are called boomer jokes.
Chevron paid them a lot of money.
I vote that we send him to Greenland and tell him he’s the king now.
Or we could all just move to nano and be less frustrated.
And like the other 10 companies that own pretty much every brand in the country.
Yeah, I’m about to the point where I’m just going to buy a domain and host my own email server.
The reason those games are so popular is that they’re inherently exploitative. I have no issues with predatory app developers being priced out of business.
