I can’t dispute that. I’m not a Word person. I live in Excel and often have half a dozen people working in the same file without issue, but that’s much more logically structured than a Word document. Google’s team sites are also disjointed and janky af compared to Sharepoint.

Microsoft’s O365 stack and Teams aren’t great, my friend, but they’re light years ahead of anything Google and Slack offer. Especially when any sort of collaboration is involved.

I like how this implies that France never became independent and is still a vassal state.

God’s, that’s beautiful!

Disregard. The answer is ‘no’. Opus is a lossy format, so there is no way to losslessly convert to it, regardless of the tools available to you.

What platform do you have to work with?

This was not allowed before. Until just recently, the technology didn’t exist to place icons anywhere in the grid. They would automatically smoosh up into orderly rows starting at the top-left with no gaps between icons. Apple is continuing to develop cutting edge innovation, though, and now you will be able to leave entire rows and columns empty, or any specific icon space you choose!

You detest Rowling’s attitudes towards transwomen, but your only other suggested author is a huge anti-gay advocate? Riiiiight …

You trade a little system stability for bleeding-edge package access.

The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.

American here. This is actually the proper way. KB is 1024 bytes. MB is 1024 KB. The terms were invented and used like that for decades.

Moving to ‘proper metric’ where KB is 1000 bytes was a scam invented by storage manufacturers to pretend to have bigger hard drives.

And then inventing the KiB prefixes was a soft-bellied capitulation by Europeans to those storage manufacturers.

Real hackers still use Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera prefixes while still thinking in powers of 2. If we accept XiB, we admit that the scummy storage vendors have won.

Note: I’ll also accept that I’m an idiot American and therefore my opinion is stupid and invalid, but I stand by it.

Y’all need to get cracking on those incubators that can grow a whole-ass child from a couple of cells outside of a human womb. Otherwise, you’re just advocating for modern-day slavery. Poor look, my dude.

Ooh, I moved to hyprland a few months ago and fell in love, but sway will give me static layouts? My singular gripe with hyprland is I want to keep my RDP app fixed to a size and never resized for anything, because when that window resizes inadvertently, I have to MFA half a dozen connections. I mostly like the dynamic tiling, but I’d like to fix one window on one workspace and never have it resize.

Naah. Their points are very valid. Unmoderated communities are easily remedied by reaching out to admins. If they didn’t have their other points, I would suggest they just try taking over an existing community.

It’s a protocol named NTP. If you want to say “the ___ protocol”, you can say “the network time protocol” or “the NTP protocol”. Both are correct, even if the latter is technically redundant. You would sound really weird if you insisted on saying “the NTP”. Let’s not bring the worst parts of reddit to the fediverse. Needlessly pedantic is something we can move beyond.

Freudian

Well, I wasn’t thinking about my mother while imagining this scenario, but now I am. Thanks, blackluster117, thanks.

I feel like World of Goo holds the title for the game I have legally acquired the most times of any game, between purchases, giveaways, and bundles on various gaming platforms and bundle sites. Can’t wait for a sequel!

Profitable? I thought it was a loss leader to get people into Amazon’s gaming ecosystem.

I’d care if it was profitable when it was on its own, but now that it’s part of Amazon, I assumed it was just part of a Prime sub.

You’re free to pronounce it however you want, but considering it’s named after a famous mythological character, you may get funny looks as if you referred to similar mythological characters as “Jod”, “Hey-zeus”, “Bud-hah”, or “Hurk-yoolz”.

You might give it a try – it may just work for you. Not everybody has the same issues, and I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out later when I have time to troubleshoot it. This is just a busy time of year for me, so as long as my work stuff works, I’m good, and gaming has to sit on the backburner for a bit.

Gave up on gaming in general. Moved to Linux back in October. Had issues getting my games to play because of various issues between Nvidia 535/545 and Wayland, Xorg, or the steam/proton/lutris/aagl/hgl things I tried. Then work got too busy and I’ve put gaming on the back burner 'til I have more time to troubleshoot it (hopefully with new Nvidia/Wayland packages).
