Scalpers are a problem that transcend Ticketmaster. Heck, they transcend the world of event tickets. Scalpers are a pain in so many areas. Fuck them.

“I always thought there couldn’t possibly be a God, with all the evil in the world. But perhaps… all this evil exists because there is a God. Perhaps, yes, perhaps this God just isn’t a particularly nice guy. It’s possible that God isn’t a DJ, but an arsehole.”

“He’s probably both. A DJ who exclusively plays Rammstein at a kid’s birthday party.”

“You know the saying that God created Man in His image? Well, look around. If you assume that God is an arsehole, it suddenly makes a lot of sense.”

Q: What do you call people who believe in the existence of Satan?

A: Christians.

Brave is the one run by transphobes who also love crypto.

How would you drive the adoption of such a protocol in an environment that is largely hostile towards attempts at demonetising things?

That’s the thing. Apple has that track record already. This years iOS update will be available for phones released as far back as 2017. And that’s not a recent development - 4+ years have been the norm with iOS devices for a long time, while many Android phones have suffered from much faster obsolescence.

Google have yet to prove that they can fulfill this promise.

I’ll touch base with you in 7 years to see how that’s going.

Does your Android phone get 5+ years of software support?

So not only do they want AI to take your job - you also won’t be able to get another job if you don’t wholesale buy into this shit.

I love the future.

Strange how I’ve been using wired headphones with my phones until two years ago, even though I haven’t had a phone with a headphone jack since 2017…

Battlefield 2142 was ambitious. It included one of the most fun Battlefield game modes I’ve played (Titan), and in my opinion the main reason it bombed somewhat was that it came out way too quickly after Battlefield 2, which was still ragingly popular with PC gamers, and the player base didn’t have much appetite for changing over to a new game.

EA made games before pay to win loot boxes became a thing.

Not sure where I showed ‘clear anger’ but you do you.

Oh… you’re one of those critics.

Oh, you mean the same stupid joke we can read in literally every comment thread about Apple adding features to iOS?

What was Android’s most recent groundbreaking feature, and when was it released?

I used to like small phones. I thought the form factor of my erstwhile iPhone 5 was perfect.

But then I got older, and my eyesight got worse. Reading small fonts on small screens is becoming increasingly difficult, but I’m not yet at the point where I have to wear glasses or contacts all the time. I also don’t like just increasing font sizes, as I lose screen realestate. So I’m kinda starting to see why some people like phones with bigger screens.

No it doesn’t. Gitlab’s pricing has been pretty stable, with one increase in the premium tier in the past six years ($19 --> $29 per user per month).

As someone who has tried soldering with the wrong equipment (and thoroughly stuffed it up), it’s both. Learning with the right equipment however is a lot easier than with the wrong stuff.

And 3D printing externally can also be a bit of a trial and error process if you’re new to the whole thing.
