The straw for me was when they made Snow Day competitive only. Stupid fucking decision and ruined the game for those of us who just got on to do some casual snow day.
I play on my Switch mostly, and it’s gotten a little frustrating. It’s like they don’t even test the Switch anymore. For instance, I get notifications that say “Blah blah has invited you to play. Press the - button.” And no matter what you do, you cannot reply to an invite. It you are out of the game, the - button does nothing, and ingame they mapped it to emoticons and there’s no way to remap either. So they literally stuck another function over the same keypress without even giving a shit, nor do they care, since it’s been like that for a while. Don’t get me started on startup times. Why does it take 2 mins to even get the game up an going? It didn’t take that long versions ago, but again, they don’t even seem to test anything on the Switch. If you are on a realm, or any online game and you press the home button, say to check your friends online status, it logs you out of the realm or online game. You used to be able to pop out to the system menu, even check screenshots, and then when you popped back into minecraft you were right there where you were when you popped out, but now, nope, just logs you right the fuck off instantly. It’s shit like that that is causing me to sour on it. Stop adding in new shit, and spend a cycle or two putting things back to like they were, and working properly. They forced us to move to Bedrock, and are now just crapping on it, thinking that we want more and more shit. Hey microsoft, we don’t. We would just like the shit we have to work properly.
Hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but you just missed Bike Nights at COTA. I am only mentioning it so maybe if you come back you can look up the schedule. I am sure there are plenty of awesome bike rides around though, but it’s so cool to get out on the F1/MotoGP track and do some laps. If bombing down a hill on a mountain bike is your thing, there’s Spider Mountain out past Burnet.
Don’t forget that you can set up alias commands. So if you don’t like the name of a command, or don’t want to keep typing things out, you can set up an alias. For instance, I have to continually switch to another user. I set up alias so I can type gouser instead of “sudo su - user”. So if the name of something isn’t easy or hard to memorize, you can just make it whatever you want within limitations.
Yeah, I agree with you mostly, and hope my reply wasn’t coming across as dickish. As a long time *nix user, I find the commands in Powershell to be equally nonsensically named at times. I do remember the times when it was joked that unix commands were usually named after the author’s dog, but I think over time that has changed. I am sure if I had to use Powershell just a fraction of the time I use the linux command line on a daily basis I would get more familiar and comfortable with it. But you are correct that overall, this is a human issue, and not something that can easily be solved. Not everyone wants to delve into suspension tuning, some people just need to get in the car and reasonably expect to arrive at their destination.
man -k will do the exact search you are asking about. Now I have found that some systems aren’t setting it up properly lately, but that command and -k option have been there for decades. Maybe you should try: man man to see what all options are available.
I am going to say this, and it’s because this is such a cliche’ response to me at this point, but I call bullshit. People making these excuses are laughable to me now with this. You aren’t talking about scaling Mt. Everest levels of effort here. Everyone you are communicating with has a phone number, and you could take the time to call them if you wanted to communicate with them, use text messaging, or email. As for the birthdays and events, go to the dollar store, or an equivalent and buy a calendar. They sell them with cute pics, or funny quotes, or whatever. Then mark the dates down. It’s fucking comical to me now how people act about getting rid of facebook. If facebook was waking up every morning and driving you to work, then yeah, it might be hard, but come on people… I feel like I am watching a b movie where everyone has been put in a trance and is just walking around mindlessly all saying the same mantra. “It’s too hard. Can’t break free.” And none of this has even touched on privacy, of which there is none on facebook. People spouting this are just willing to give up any shred of privacy for some minor convenience and it’s frustrating to watch.
I guess my real problem with this is how underhanded they seem to be with the information they collect. I know they need to pay the bills, but they could definitely be more upfront and open about what they gather on people.
See, to me, all of those people are willing to trade their privacy for convenience. And the fact that others are getting rich off of sifting through and collecting all of this data also is wrong in my opinion. To each his/her/their own, but I still think it’s sad how dependent people have become on social media.
Depends. Everyone claims they are on social media platforms to stay in touch with family and friends. I know no one on here and am fine with the anonymity. So it’s up to you if you count this.
