Google: mind if we put a keylogger on your browser for spellchecking?

You: don't

Google: OK, we won't use the keylogger data for spellchecking

True, I didn't mean it as an insult to OP, just pointing out the ol' tradition of posting very popular things on the forum for unpopular opinions

But we still check every time, just in case

Unpopular opinion: obvious stuff that 99% of the people here will agree with.

I was disgusted by the XML at first, but it's a readable query returning a sane JSON object.

Meanwhile, I'm mantaining Java code where the SQL is a perfectly square wall of text, and some insane mofo decided the way to read the resulting list of Object[] 🤮 is getting each column by index... so I'd switch to SQXMLL in a heartbeat.

I used to get myself into traps like that a lot, "I need to get that impossible achievement", "I need to play only at the highest difficulty", "I need to get 200% completion".

At the end of the day video games are just toys, play them as you like and if you're not enjoying it just do something else instead. After I realized that games are fun again.

This ghost achievement in particular is a very hard challenge run, the kind of thing you go for after you finished the game and want more with an extra twist, trying to force it on your first time playing is guaranteed to be frustrating

It's not one sentence "no taxation without representation", it's the two groups of people "no taxation" and "without representation"

It's a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.

Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.

The usual MO of buying the competitors isn't posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish

Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we'll be right back at the corporate social media we're trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it's profitable

Did anyone here read the article?

He's not saying "those lazy peasants should know their only purpose is to make me richer and be happy about it", he's saying "obviously nobody will be motivated by making some rich jerks richer while getting paid peanuts".

Unfortunately in the second half he goes into out of touch CEO mode, but the quote on the ragebait title is actually very reasonable

That's the point of step 2: inspect ass

If you find or smell poopoo obviously don't proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you're into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)

And if they did manage to impeach Biden over whatever they're making up this time... so what?

45's first impeachment did nothing, so couldn't the sane people in the government just ignore a hypothetical biden impeachment and continue business as usual?
