Oh, are the free child laborers who develop Roblox games not performing well enough to meet your expectations? That must be really frustrating for you

What’s it take to pass a bill in the California senate? The yea votes outnumbered the nays. I wish the author of the piece had gone into more detail about that.

Respect

Are you saying that because you had the computer next to the dot matrix printer? Because I could see that driving a person to think computers weren’t that loud.

Look, I just read the articles as they’re written and point out the interesting pieces that don’t fit in the headline. You got issues with Japan’s finance system, that’s something you should take up with the author, not the interested fucking reader. Christ on a cracker, hobbyless behavior

The plot thickens: transfers can generally be reversed, pulling the money back from a recipient. No reversal was initiated. The crowdfunding platform instead told the dev that they were waiting for the recipient to pay back the money they’d mistakenly received and signed a memo guaranteeing full funding two weeks after the issue first came up. Guess what didn’t materialize two weeks after the issue first came up?

USA! USA! USA! We did it everybody! Once again, victory comes as easy as a homemade, baked-from-scratch, double-crust, lattice top apple pie made by the housekeeper I hired illegally and continue to pay slave wages to by threatening to report them for deportation. What, I’m contributing to the local tax base because they pay sales tax on the stuff they buy, you should be thanking me!

I hear your frustration. It’s so hard to watch the people around you get that close to doing the right thing–we had such good momentum for a while–and then veer towards the opposite end of the behavioral spectrum like they were pushed. That kind of discouragement feels fucking terrible.

Take whatever time you need to heal up. If that’s forever, it’s forever; I’m sorry we left you in this state. I don’t blame you for walking away, but if having someone to commiserate about the ridiculous state of affairs would help you sort out the internal chaos and make it easier to live with, please reach out. I’m always down for political gossip.

What a classic. There’s an arcade nearby with a Tapper cabinet. There’s one control, and it’s a keg pull.

What’s the strength modifier on a chicken laying an egg?

Sure, he can move all his stuff. He can move all his stuff wherever the fuck he wants, I don’t mind. Need help packing?

“Un-fucking-believable” is standard usage, but “unbe-fucking-lievable” still works as an alternate. That’s when you’re down to artistic judgment and choosing which form fits your case best. Mixing it up and using something unexpected is a good way to provide emphasis.

It’s obvious to native speakers, but when you’re new to it and trying to learn the cadence to help make sense of spoken language, rules like these help

These are the tips language learners like me rely on

Would $20/hr make it acceptable to you? $15? Minimum wage? When you find a point that’s different but acceptable, that’s a hangup, not a standard.

This is really useful, thanks!

I appreciate you! My family and I made the decision to move off of Discord when they announced their full age verification rollout. We were planning on setting up and hosting our own matrix server, but now I’d like to know more about Element’s poor stewardship of the protocol.

My tech level is literate layperson, not working in tech and without a background in systems administration, networking, or software development. I can understand the larger concepts pretty readily but get lost in the finer details like why data architects would choose one setup over another. I’m content knowing that someone good at this made a reasoned choice without needing them to explain why as long as I still get to laugh at Bastard Operator from Hell stories.

The results I found last night were things like The Register talking about matrix being adopted more and more around the world, including at the government and military levels, a competing service or two telling off Element for bad practices or poor use of the protocol, and Element’s rebuttal (which basically came down to “our configuration doesn’t need to be everybody’s configuration, THAT’S THE POINT” and “it’s a limitation you have, too, do you really want to make this a thing?”). It’s good to be aware of, but it’s not what I’m looking for. All this involves the paid services side; does anybody have any sourced news on the ongoing development of matrix from, say, the past 3-5 years?

Sounds like a reasonable point, guess I’ll look into it!

Edit: Sorry, I’m not tech savvy enough to find my way to any reputable sources. A little help, please?
