You wish lol. In truth they can serve this to as many users as they want, and catch garbage outlier responses.

That's why I'm fully pro-automation. Automation makes everyone's lives easier, it removes the burdens from the backs of people. For every job that someone doesn't have to toil at we have the chance for them to find something they actually enjoy and excel at it, maybe even push the boundaries in some way.

People think they fear automation, but that's not the enemy. The enemy is the politicians who are so far behind the times, and in many cases corrupt to the point they're actively working against the people they were elected to serve, that our system simply will not adapt to these boons we've developed. There's just no reason we can't feed every mouth in America if the will was there in the people pulling the strings, but that doesn't line their pockets personally and the people in positions of power don't give a rat's ass about you or your family.

Honestly it feels like all the pieces are there to build something wonderful, but it wont happen unless we're willing to knock down the shitty "it's what we've got" house of cards narrative.

You're right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?

You can die on this hill if you want to. Gimp has its reputation amongst the public, and it's not for it's user friendly UI. Maybe you like the jank, but that doesn't mean it's optimal.

Also, another thing open source projects need is feedback from the public. The UI being horrid is feedback, and just because you feel the need to white knight and feel personally offended by this feedback doesnt make the feedback invalid. You can complain about the phrasing used, but if you use that as reason to disregard the feedback or get defensive and accusatory towards the person (the "what have YOU done" bit was particularly irrelevant) then you're part of the problem regardless how much you feel you're the solution.

One doesn't need to be a dev to have opinions about ease of use of a piece of software, don't be dense.

I've played this a few times before, but tbh there's pretty much nothing to do.
You blast an asteroid, you spend time chasing the little chunks, you turn in the chunks for fuel/repairs/upgrades (most of which are meaningless), then repeat.

There's no story, no progression outside of a few upgrades worth taking, you're just... chasing chunks.

I abandoned ubuntu for that very same experience, found your Ubuntu zen on manjaro instead. Funny how it goes sometimes.

I see you edited your post. That'll be 2 CrYpToBuCkS!

Oh yeah, it was brutal to play Apex on initially, but eventually you relearn where your eye needs to dart to to see your health and stuff and it gets a lot easier.

Then you learn how to process all that peripheral information and nobody can sneak up on you ever again lol.

Yep exactly. It also doesn't make a damned bit of difference that you've worded it so clearly a lawyer could cry, and made them agree to a simple acknowledgement.

Just remember that because the face you see is always smiling doesn't mean they truly enjoy their life. For all you know they're so burned out and miserable, over the stress, and would kill to go back to a less stressful life.

We all have a tendency to see the grass as greener on the other side.
