The reasons might be fine, but my opinion is that is whole thing is a little bit… Blown out of proportion.
Just on a couple of your points:
The muscle memory point is very valid, but that boils down to not liking change for changes sake. Muscle memory can always be rewired, and it will take less time than you think it will.
The discrepancy between desktop and mobile has always been there, imo. So many of the desktop features were crammed away into menus and submenus that were hard to use on mobile. With a new mobile-centric design, we may not know where everything is yet, but it’ll likely be easier to access once we get more familiar with it.
The other thing for me is that Discord is the messaging app I prefer, by a long shot. If they see this as an opportunity to add SMS linking to their feature set, and allow users to then also bridge those from the mobile to desktop version, it would solve a lot of communication issues I have, having everything in one place.
Large corporations are, indeed, soulless and thankless. No amount of their pandering to the masses with charity campaigns and outreach programs ever end without them making money.
Knowing this, I prefer to take everything at face value. If I start concerning myself with the ulterior motives of these people that don’t believe in class equality, I will very quickly want to put a lightbulb in my mouth.
For those familiar, Destiny 2 (a video game by Bungie, the originators of the Halo franchise) has come under scrutiny lately due to mass layoffs, and the following PR nightmare it has turned into. With every day that passes, we learn more thanks to the diligent work of journalists doing their job.
I appreciate knowing to help me make informed decisions about who I fiscally support, but I will spend my money on entertainment based on the value it gives me. Not the morals I’m told I should have by people bickering on the internet, and content creators that use these situations as clickbait.
And that all goes for any corp, I’m just largely invested in this one example. I am aware that Nestle is garbage ass company, but due to me not existing in their world view, I will buy a KitKat when I want one, thanks.
I make it a point to forget scanning half of my shit there. It’s less about self-checkout (I quite honestly don’t mind it all that much), and more about the insane cost of living now.
I refuse to spend $30 on milk, eggs, cheese, bread, and butter.
I ended up needing to take the latter of the 2 options, and I wouldn’t wish that torture on my worst enemies.
Straight out of HS I went to Uni, and it always felt like I wasn’t doing it for myself. 2.5 years and $20k later I left hastily, and went to college after a few months off. I didn’t get it right in the first year, but I went into game dev after that and barely squeaked by. Even with it being a very strong interest of mine, it was very difficult to drag myself through it. I met some incredible friends along the way that helped keep me focused enough, but it was hard.
Fast forward 3 years, and here I am now, diagnosed with mixed ADHD, medicated, with more focus than I’ve ever had. Its still not great… I have 27 years of bad habits to break, but it’s getting better.
One of the biggest things I can offer as advice is know your enemy. ADHD is tricky to deal with, but not impossible. If you have the option to make itbeasier to manage, I’d try to find a way and make it happen. I can’t speak to the autism part, but the ADHD is something that you can manage. It just takes some time.
The Liberal government is looking to cut almost $1 billion from the annual budget of the Department of National Defence — a demand the country’s top military commander says is prompting some “difficult” conversations within the military.
Lmao. I mean, yeah. I dunno about everyone else here, but I’d much rather see that money be spent in a productive “society-first” manner instead of literally just bleeding into nothing.
Nothing money does nothbut sit there anyways, so spend it to improve quality of life or give it all back and let us do it.
I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
That was me too! I guessed I had around 2k hours in RL overall, but Destiny 2 has recently just eclipsed 2k hours on just PC. Probably have 2500 in that game total now.
Actually, to Meta’s credit here, they do transparently say this when you make an account.
