Learning is difficult but I have to believe it is still part of the solution.

It's not always obvious or easy to make what non-techies will find easy. Changes could unintentionally make the experience worse for long-time users.

I know people don't want to hear it but can we expect non-techies to meet techies half way by leveling their tech skill tree a bit?

Techy people are a lot more likely to jump through hoops because that knowledge/experience makes it easier for them, they understand it's worthwhile or because it's fun. If software can be made easier for non-techy people and there's no downsides then of course that aught to be done.

What are the major advancements outlined in the wallpaper?

I've seen a wallpaper of linux commands before but this is ridiculous.

I have not seen the acronym written as GLBT in quite a long time.

I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.

I admit I mostly give back to bigger players (e.g. my OS creator), and less so to those who are just starting off that don't see as much.

I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.

I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it's too damn high.

Like a dedicated ’Controversy’ section on Wikipedia but for the modern consumer/end user protection. This gonna’ be good.

I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?

I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.

Hell of a first day.

Cognitohazards are my favorite - at least.. I think I remember them being my favorite.

They told me who you are.

 

This sub looks empty, thought I'd post one of my favorite SCP videos.

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
