When the first iPad came out I wondered wtf was the point of a tablet, and I’m still wondering

Libgen saved me so much money in college. They provide such a valuable service

That ship has sailed a long time ago

Stuff like this is why I never buy new games. Not only can you not trust the critics, but players get so blinded by hype and buyers remorse that they’ll ignore everything bad about the games they love.

It’s always wiser to wait for the hype to die down and see what the retrospective consensus is

I play a lot of older AAA games and piracy has been a life saver. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed 4 with a legit steam copy and couldn’t even play offline because of the stupid Ubisoft launcher. With a pirated copy, you skip the launcher and get a better experience than a paying customer. Just stick to reputable groups like fitgirl and you’re fine

Nothing, OP just wanted an excuse to use the buzzword of current year

The newest car I’ve ever owned (and currently own) is a 2007 model. Not gonna lie, with all the BS getting loaded into cars nowadays I think I’ll keep it that way. It’s easier just to have a couple of cheap shitboxes in the driveway that way you have something to drive when one of them inevitably needs work

Shit a million bucks will at least buy you a house and then some

Sitting down, back to front while pulling my sack out of harm’s way

Makes sense because the Series S is dumb cheap. Only the Steam Deck can compare in terms of value

When I was in college, libreoffice calc was a good enough Excel alternative to get me through finance, accounting, statistics and business science. I graduated in 2020 to give you some perspective. Worst case you run a pirated Windows VM with pirated Office. Also, shame on all the downvoting fucks who probably are too privileged to have any business being on this community

I’m an alcoholic and I like putting dumb shit on when I’m drunk

Less Elon spam. Imagine spending your time obsessing over someone you hate

Look at moneybags over here throwing around cash instead of just making space

My dad lost half a middle finger from a horse riding accident. He trolls people who don’t know by sticking the nub up to his nostril as if he had half a finger up his nose

There are plenty of handhelds to fill that niche, the issue is they’re too underpowered to handle most games released in the last 15 years

It’s Ubisoft, who would be surprised? Pirates get a better experience than paying customers and it’s been that way for over a decade

The amount of content there is insane. When I was on there I would spend hours scrolling. As much as others complain about the lack of content here on Lemmy, I kind of like it because I don’t spend nearly as much time on the phone every day

I’m in the same boat. I play Bethesda games for the experiences the modders create. This will be a steal in a few years for $30

How does that even work???

Mexico: Nuevo León (specifically Monterrey)

Hold up, they’re releasing an OLED version????

Some artists perform really well live. My first concert was Rush when I was 14 and that was amazing. Also they sell earplugs for concerts that lower the DB to a safe level while still maintaining clarity. You can always pregame too so you don’t spend too much on drinks

Have you tried Linux in the last 5 years?

MAS worked just fine for me. Imagine paying for windows

If you love watching ads so much go watch them. That’s the same boomer mentality that keeps cable alive to this day. I don’t care, I will never watch ads

I had a job where we used Spring Boot with JPA on the backend. It was nice because you could just use the ORM methods for basic CRUD functionality. But on the other hand it has this @Query annotation we used for whenever we wanted to write our own queries. Probably against best practice but it worked well enough

I simply refuse to move forward if the interview process involves a whiteboard interview. I have no aspirations to work at FAANG so this has only happened to me a couple of times

As someone who works with this framework for a living, don’t learn it on your free time. It’s absolutely worth learning vanilla Java, but you can learn Spring Boot on the job

#8 is bullshit unless you live out in the country and you can make as much noise as you want

I can’t remember the last time I saw something good on Netflix

I’m not Canadian, but I had a brief fling with a girl from Alberta. She had just gotten out of an 8 year relationship with a crackhead (her words, not mine) and she herself had just been released from rehab. I think I know exactly what you mean somehow

Modern PHP is pretty pleasant once you learn the syntax IMO. It’s not 2005 any more

Any reason to use chocolatey over winget?

Lmao, you’re probably better off playing FC2 with mods

Yeah I’ll pass

I haven't vaped in years but are refillable tanks not a thing any more?

Oh man, I’ve been in Mexico so long and there are so many beautiful places. How about los lagos de montebello?

I’ve never had a 3.5mm connector break on me. Those little lightning jacks though? You drop your phone once and it’s over. I can’t imagine USB C is any better

You’ve had a job where they let you use Linux on your machine? Every job I’ve had has been strictly windows
