How do our employees, the public servants, look so damn movie star wealthy like that?
A lot of people believe that's what 9/11 was.
I strongly disagree, they should go in with an absolute baby beginner distro first, learn all about how it works from a user's level, and then they can go back and start building up from scratch with arch.
Aaaahhhhmurica.
There's something deep in that culture that I can't find the words for.
That picture though, pretty much sums it up.
I just posted a few links to the other person who responded to me and you can follow those and there is more detail there.
But basically if Microsoft were to try, which they did, try and move to their own app store, which removes win32, then all of Valve's games ( in the store) will no longer become relevant over time, on the Windows platform.
You don't just spend millions and millions and millions of dollars on Linux for no reason at all. It's not like he's a fanboy, he's a businessman, and he's protecting his business.
I made a choice. It worked. I got an amazing job out of it.
Much in life is a calculated gamble. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't.
Some people are making fun about this, but if you look at the history of the steam store and how Gabe is focusing so heavily on Linux, it is because he is concerned that Microsoft is going to shut down Win32 and he will be absolutely screwed.
Due to this, he is creating a safety net for himself and is pushing Linux hard as an alternative to Microsoft Windows so that he can not be so reliant on Microsoft and what they choose to do and not do. Specifically when it comes to win 32.
I have to say, really not much has changed by the looks of it, except the traffic is about a hundred times worse.
Correct. However, Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, and some IGA stores are signatories to the voluntary code of practice for computerised checkout systems in supermarkets.
Generally, this means that if an item is scanned at the checkout at a higher price than it says on the shelf or as advertised, a customer is entitled to receive the first item free and all multiples of the same item at the lower price.
So not all stores, but generally speaking it's a thing. I've seen it in action with a cocky teenager demand his coke free, and got it.
That would be awesome
In Australia, if it scans higher than the price on the shelf, it is free.
LEMMY. It's like reddit. But xyz.
What a shite idea. We all compare everything against everything else.
The new car X is like old car Y, but ABC.
