This is a tough one. One way I sort of get around this is I buy the discs (if international) or rent them (domestic), but it’s probably so new and exclusive that it hasn’t been released on any rippable media.

Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.

It’s been ages for me but I vaguely remember something whacky like this happening but can’t recall specifics. Something about blocking specific scripts causing crazy rendering problems and yeah, something with inputs acting janky too.

Gee, I wonder why Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection breaks the site. 🤔

For me in the US a ton of sites break simply by using a VPN exiting in Europe. If they’re too lazy to comply with EU privacy laws I take that as a sign it’s not worth my time, so I’d likely do the same with this.

Same goes if my “ad blocker” (DNS blocking) isn’t “compatible” or I can’t log in because due to an oftentimes hidden Google recaptcha: no thanks, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

And probably anywhere between six months and three years from now 🙄

I really hope not; I love Linux to death but Android is… not nice.

Whether or not you eat the rich, please consider not eating the cows.

I dreamt that I was traveling in Germany and didn’t want to be called out as American, so the dream switched to Spanish (my second language). My brain did try Mandarin and Japanese but it was probably too resource intensive for a dream.

Having never been to Europe, “Germany” looked a lot more like Mexico than anything.

Same, and it’s vegan so I don’t have to worry about killing a bunch of animals to satisfy a sandwich craving.

I feel like this is claiming that Windows has better UI/UX which I always find hilarious.

Which 20 versions of UI are you talking about? Is it Ribbon, Metro, 9x, XP, or half of the non-native JS apps that Microsoft pushes on its own platform (especially funny to me considering they ditch their own UI API)?

Linux can be a very crummy UX too, but using Windows as some sort of standard for comparison is a joke.

While working in fast food working as a manager I had a store manager that would cuss you out, but one thing I loved about her is I would cuss back and explain myself to which she’d be like “oh, that makes sense.”

Their app was so futuristic on the original iPhone, then it went to shit pretty quick. It looks/behaves like an unmaintained Ruby on Rails 3.1 app.

I’d totally check it out but I have 100% of Google blocked. 💀

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I’d say start on Ubuntu too. I actually kind of hate it, but it’s was my second or third Linux distro and was stable enough to jump into it, learn stuff then form an opinion about what I want in a distro and move on.

I think a lot of people get hung up on this — for basic use, a lot of distros offer more or less the same things. It’s when you start to drill into the lower level stuff (that you’re probably not now concerned with) that you become pickier with distros.

I’m actually happy to say I haven’t necessarily had any bad programming related interviews. In fact, as someone with zero professional development experience but a healthy portfolio (side business for former employer, systems built for prior jobs not related to development) I’d say it was almost too easy to finally land a full time development job.

Patience.

Everywhere I go people meander like zombies whether it’s walking, driving, shopping, etc. I can’t figure out why people are soooooo slow, do they have nothing to accomplish? It constantly puts me off, but it’s probably because I moved to a big city in the west (US) coast.

I noticed you linked to a news source and it reminds me how close to impossible it is find information directly from the government unless you’re wiling to go to some homepage and click 16 trillion times, and hopefully you’re blocking third-party scripts because for some reason AdSense is loaded on every fucking page.

If you already have an account, after login there will be like 16 alerts (“flash” alerts in Ruby on Rails speak) and if you’re lucky maybe one is relevant to you.

Is that overused? I can’t think of a time I’ve read that and disagreed, and I haven’t seen it used often (especially in headlines).

Do they get sued? Because there is a lot of misinformation out there, and I don’t mean in the far right “fake news” sense.
