For me the distinction helped allievate alienation. But that shit should really be applied per case >_< And if it would be dropped altogether, I guess I wouldn’t need it as a kid either.

Not giving them enough attention.

Here I am. Didn’t want animal because I struggle mentally a lot and I know I don’t have vapacity to keep them occupied. Partner finally understood and backed off just for her mom to put us in situayion where either we takr her cat or it ends in shelter. Cat my partner spent a lot of her life with. >_<

Did not know about the API. This clears a lot, thanks.

And about closed garden being wanted - if evrything goes through the people who made the thing, then these things are guaranteed to work on the thing. No wondering, no thinking, it just works. And such closed and tight thing was something I heard from people boasting iphones as best thing.

But part of the reason Apple is dominant is their closed garden approach - that is literally part of their product. I cannot understand how that’s a bad thing. For me it’s akin to a flute manufacturer producing flutes and everything is okay until they get popular. Suddenly they are hated because they don’t produce flutes incorporating parts from different manufacturers? Even if they produce them to allow exchanging the parts?

Same for Microsoft and their Internet Explorer case. I didn’t understand back then I don’t understand now why they lost lawsuit if they didn’t, IIRC, block you from installing anything else.

It would be different matter for me if it was for example Windows explictly blocking you from downloading another browser than Internet Explorer. That’s abuse. But just having a default made by the same company being bad?

But you are not enforced to use Windows or Android. Closed ecosystem is part of the product in this case. Nobody stops anyone else from creating, for example, Linux. So how is it anti-competetive?

Okay. One question.

Why would company A need to accomodate any other “app store” in their product, especially if one of their product’s selling point is how streamlined it is? I am not even talking about apple but in general, alas even in their case - they made it clear how it works. People accepted it and bought their product. It doesn’t hurt anyone, and they are not the only player either. So why attack them now? On what basis?

Or like, you know, focus for a second and read the message instead of seeing text and responding only to first sentence, if not just the title xD

More like, 10 worked, was fast, was a nornal OS. 8 sucks ass, 11 is adware, 7 was fun, vista was bloatware, xp was woking.

I used both 95 and 98 but as a kid and don’t remember much.

And I’m not even 40!

Not much experience, but quickly learned .bind() in JS after it switched me to window instead of object.

You just discouraged me from linux lol. Steam using 2GB RAM in the background? Am I understanding this correctly?Because on Win 10 it uses ~350 MB, even with open window.

Look at it’s like that. If you change out one part at a time, everyone considers the ship the same.

Change many components at once and what you hear? “It’s practically a new ship!”.

Here, Ship of Theseus solved by instinct and linguistics.

Older gens I’d say. My mother had afriend who always came in without knockin and just…vibed. Like they suddenly materialised in kitchen and talked while eating or materialised near table and drank coffee.

My partner’s mother had someone like that too.

Meanwhile I am having a meltdown if someone tries the door before knocking (they are always locked anyway)

I mean, imma be honest. Hierarchy helps. You need someone up there to see the bigger picture. But you also need enough horizontal movement to be able to execute the piece of it that falls to you.

I am gonna be blunt also, I am one of people who cannot graps actually horizontal structure on bigger tasks etc. I do however get it on smaller scale and with competent people, it’s probably hella more efficient. For example thanks to not overloading someone “up there” with decisions and responsibilities.

I mean, there are admins and mods, don’t oversell it. ^^’ But also I am honestly lost on how do you manage to think of hundreds of interconnected forums basically as one thing.

Would work on me. Trained myself as a teen to not rely on emotions at all. Trauma aside, I do actually step back and rethink if hit with these.

Which really didn’t help notice how irritating “chill” is xD

Found worse by accident. “Chill”. Just, nothing more.

I really have to keep watvh on myself to not use it…it was my default…

Counterpoint: Israel attacks absolutely everything around it for no fukken reason, so nit newsworthy.

Mobile first rule.

And then lazy port to desktop.

Oi, I am planning on using edge when I switch to linux xD
