What's stopping you from deleting the game, redownloading it, and setting a new account name? Etc

I assume they're talking about player names, not usernames - steam usernames are unique, but steam player names can be whatever you want and are often duplicates.

I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.

Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don't use it personally but I hear great things

Why is this oniony? "Professional drivers are in the transportation industry" sounds absurd?

Note that OP made a distinction between "need" and "ought to" and I agree. You don't "need" to know any of these, but you "ought to" because knowing them TO SOME DEGREE helps you use the machine more effectively and safely. Networking course is definitely going overboard, but I still think they're important to know. I'm pretty sure doctors already do understand the basics of how MRI machines work.

Learning the basics of how WiFi works avoids people getting confused when WiFi doesn't "just exist" everywhere, or why it drops out suddenly when a lot of people are using it even if you have full bars. Learning about HTTPS and SSL lets you understand what it keeps secure and how that can keep you secure when you're e.g. banking.

That being said computers and software now are specifically designed to hide their inner workings as much as possible to simplify things for their users so it's a bit of a special case.

Which comic is this from?

I have questions. Is this something in use today? Who is manufacturing them? Is this something you're personally familiar with or just aware of?

You mean like git sparse-checkout? Admittedly experimental but useful

Do you mean admonitions? E.g. info, warning, etc? There's precedent for that in commonly-used open source implementations, e.g. obsidian.md (which uses the same syntax, and started before). What semantics does it break? It's designed to read well in plaintext and render nicely even if used in a renderer that doesn't support admonitions, e.g.

[!NOTE] Information the user should notice even if skimming.

As opposed to other common markdownish implementations that use nonsensical plaintext which renders poorly in alternative renderers. Here's a discussion on the topic in the CommonMark forums.
