Yeah, we really just wound up with the FAANG Firewall instead.

Not sure what practical solution there is that will protect the general public, but I know this aint it.

No more wars is the coldest take ever

I'd call it "an oldie but a goodie".

Well... that's not really what I got out of this, and I don't see how your suggestions would help... But if it's what you think is best I'll do it. You've never steered me wrong before.

Crippling the NRC is how you wind up with the NCR.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Micro$oft is more than happy to let companies pay to use their terrible OS for purposes they never built it for. But the question still stands as to why any of these companies continue to try and shove Windows into a use case that was never even a consideration when it was designed.

Like, if I had a really terrible hammer, and started trying to use it as a saw... I wouldn't blame the hammer's inherent terribleness at it's intended job for why it failed.

As far back as ancient Greece we have had a version of "give me the strength to change what I can, the peace of mind to accept what I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference".

"It is what it is" just adds "spare me the fucks on that which does not matter".

Some folks don't care about having the ''unpradictability of human players''. Or at the very least don't think that benefit makes up for the downsides of an always online game, such as always having to have an internet connection, server downtime, lag, the pricing models that pay for those servers, game modes that require you to interact with other players, etc.

I like multiplayer games, and I like single player games, I like couch co-op, and pvp, mmo's, and fighting games, but I think it's about having the right tool for the job.

But online multiplayer games that are spin offs or sequels to single player games have a well deserved bad reputation. Due to the numerous instances where the motivation wasn't to make the game better, but instead to force the more profitable monitary models that online multiplayer games allow for. Fallout 76 stands out as a prime example.

It's not always a bad change mind you, sometimes it really adds a lot to the game... like... uhhhh... er... Ultima Online? Im sure there are other examples too.

So maybe you can take that stick out of your ass and let folks enjoy what they like? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“Talent just defines what you do,” Rincewind said. “It doesn’t define what you are. Deep down, I mean. When you know what you are, you can do anything.”

He thought a bit more and added, “That’s what makes sourcerers so powerful. The important thing is to know what you really are.”

There was a pause full of philosophy.

“Rincewind?” said Conina, kindly.

“Hmm?” said Rincewind, who was still wondering how the words got into his head.

“You really are an idiot. Do you know that?”

-Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

Can speak to this slightly. I tried to get their app to run via Wine, and it did not work just "plug and play" at least. Tried to find a guide or some alternative option. After about 15 min of searching, I decided that "eh, it works great out of the box" and started using easy effects for an EQ instead.

Clearly you just failed to grasp Jesus's message. And truly I say unto you, there shall be no pizza but through him, and occasionally at work to prevent unions from being discussed.

Here is my "secret to success".

The faster a tumbler falls, the less frames you have to lock it in place. However, since they go at random speeds each tap, and almost never go at the same speed twice, you can just keep tapping a tumbler and wait for one of the "very fast speeds" (which usually only takes a few taps). The next tap will almost always be at a manageable speed. Rinse and repeat until you are through the lock.
