How can you put five different kinds of coffee on here and not put milk.

I’ve had arthritis since I was like 24 or 25. It really does suck… I miss the days when I didn’t hurt constantly.

I too can afford anything I want and I still pirate. A lot of the time it’s just not even possible to find something on a streaming service I actually pay for and I’m honestly sick of giving corporations my information when I want to buy something and then they turn around and sell it immediately so I get so much spam. At that point it’s not about not being able to afford it. It’s that the media companies are so greedy they can’t just take a simple payment without trying to turn it into something more. At that point it’s pointless to try and get something legitimately.

The meme clearly isn’t about installing games, it’s about starting them. And I seriously doubt OP is referring to any sort of floppy games at all. They’re most likely referring to many of the cd rom based games that literally were “click exe to start” and they just did. Everyone here is focusing on their experience with floppy games and completely ignoring that there was a time where games did work like this.

I’m curious as to what reward you believe that people are getting from closing questions?

there's a bunch of badges for things that can only be accomplished by flagging.

You also get the nice 'feeling' of clearing your queue. The faster you do that the better you feel. It's literally all rewards for putting as little effort in to get as much 'reward' as possible.

It just takes a while to get the site, which unfortunately doesn’t work if you jump right in without lurking.

I don't really think that's the problem here. It's pretty clear that people answering most questions just want to be contrarian. Here's a question I asked earlier this year (not on SO, but I've had the same exact problem on SO years ago) where I detailed literally everything I tried and instead of reading the post, the answerer literally said:

To be candid, this is much to lengthy and broad to follow. When you get the wait cursor (the spinning beachball of death), it means that the system is waiting for something before it can move on. It could be from either RAM or your disk or another application. Before you start taking drastic steps, boot into Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

If they had literally read even a quarter of the way through the post they would have seen that I had already done what they suggested. It's clear the problem is with the platform. Not the people asking the questions.

In fact if you look back at most of my questions you'll find a majority of them not answered. Not because I didn't provide enough information, but because SO rewards tagging and closing questions rather than answering the actually difficult questions. And because of that it's just better to have a billion questions that get closed than answer a single question that might take more than a few minutes, even if that question comes with an example project to show the problem at hand

If those pharmaceutical companies try to ever do business in the EU they will immediately find out that the laws do apply. I’m sorry but your “missus” is uninformed. You can go check for yourself instead of believing me though. There’s plenty of resources for it to explain it to both of you.

It isn’t. Just like 90% of the stuff posted here

Because ports work better in some instances than others? Why don’t we just use rj45 for all our data transfer instead of USB? This has got to be one of the weirdest arguments I’ve seen around usb c v lightning.

[-] snowe@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

All that means is that they think certain ports have certain purposes. I don’t think that’s the win you think it is. Why not just have everything be an rj45 port then? Clearly lightning has an advantage in phone ports, as numerous others have listed.

It was almost 4 years before the first usb c phone was released and that was only in China. No clue where you’re getting 2 years from. And even then Apple helped design the USB C standard.
