Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.

I’m a student; Unions are great; the meme is just shit

Make something that’s actually funny?

…which would be valid

Superbly shitty meme, wow

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

Dev is actually going pretty well. What they have achieved is pretty amazing.

But they are going to say the game is in ‘alpha’ as long as they can, because it means they can keep collecting “pledges” instead of “paid content”.

I bet that has some tax purposes.

I mean, what’s the context here? I doubt doctors are sterilizing people because of some evil agenda. If she was already undergoing explorative abdominal surgery, I’d wager they found a pathology that requires her reproductive organs to be removed.

If they didn’t get her consent during the preoperative information, then that’s malpractice and a part I don’t understand. However, I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.

Definitely a you-problem. There don’t exist a dog too stupid to learn to sit on command. Them barking to wake you up continues to happen, because you allowed it to work in the first place.

If a dog barks and sees you raise… well of course they’ll continue that behaviour in the future, if it’s successful.

It’s not like i’d have a choice. I envy anyone who can just wake up during the night for anything short of an absolute emergency.

When my puppy was smaller and not yet potty trained, i did sometimes wake up to poop on my floor… but i was awoken by my alarm and not by the smell. So I ain’t even noticing pooping or puking in the middle of the night.

Dude, if my dog pooped in my room during the night and by some miracle i woke up to notice that, there is no way in hell I can raise the strength to stand up and go clean

I can’t believe i never thought of this.

Not really. Fixing systemic problems is not up to the individual. I’m paying for music, which i already only due to the convenience.

Yep, absolutely. My family still has spotify and netflix subscriptions, but i already canceled prime before the previous price hike. I’d have already canceled netflix if it was my decision and the only service i still see value in is spotify.

Same. My parents told me not to look straight into the sun, i saw it as a challenge.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

Not how a brain implant works.

If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

Yeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.

Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.

The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg

Could be, but the chances of that happening are next to zero and it’d be foolish to assume this is the peak.

Because the largest portion of employees are stuck in job, which they don’t love and for which they won’t give more than the minimum required effort. The minimum required effort becomes less, when there is less supervision.

Productiveness also obviously decreases, when you have to communicate with your colleges via zoom, instead of just speaking to them over the table. Seems like none of you had to work yet, but there are few jobs in which you need almost no communication and cooperation with coworkers.

Also most jobs require walking through the building (even if you sit behind a computer most of the day), because pretty much every company has a portion of its business that can’t be digitized. Can’t go down into the storage hall of a carrier firm to fix workers messing up the labeling, when you are working from home.
