I'm a bit confused, it's a beta, right?

Why are people annoyed that the game runs like an unfinished game?

It is!

I am not a car person.

It is unconcievable to me that you can identify the brand of a car from such a partial picture.

As weird as it seems, it may partly be external pressure.

My precise height is 5'11 and a half.

Each times it comes up in conversation, I tend to say I am 5'11, but people close to me insist I am 6'.

I feel like nobody would insist if I was 5'10 and a half that I am 5'11, it’s just the magic 6' number that make people weird.

By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can't be good?

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I'd wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don't need even have a turbo in their car and many don't even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they're probably skilled in something else!

I'm saying that as an IT person that's aware that I'm making money mostly because people don't bother to learn all this, so in the end I don't mind that much.

The thing is, nuclear problems are big and scary events, but they're rare.

Think like plane crash vs other transportation accidents: they make bigger news, but they're actually safer than most other solutions.

Here's the data: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

It does seem that your solar example is the one thing that's safer than nuclear sccording to this chart though, so maybe you knew!

One thing I find annoying is that there's no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.

I'm fairly sure I'm the kind of person they'd market those products towards and it hurs them, but there's no wat that I'm aware of to let them know.

If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it's stupid...

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.


It's a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that's what this is.

Do the main quest for a while, it is not missable I think.

~~While I agree that it wasn't the time nor the place, that video had nothing to do with the sexual harrassment/assault allegations.~~

~~This was in response to GN video and subsequent Linus response on their forum.~~

~~The other stuff came after.~~

~~Still weird, but not on the same scale in my opinion~~.

Edit: I just saw timestamps lower in another comment chain showing that the apology video actually came after the twitter post.

While it was most likely filmed and edited before said post, launching as is is pretty bad indeed.

DDoS are sometimes just people thinking "because I can", not necessarily motivated by profit.

A smallish scale service like a lemmy server ran by volunteers seems like an easy target, so it wouldn't be surprising that being the case.
