I guess you just need to document and escalate anything objectively wrong that they do. If it's a one party consent state maybe you can record it, but I never experimented with that.

If HR can't help you with any legitimate problems that a clique is causing, you're probably right about the best option just being walking away. There's nothing inherently wrong with cliques if it just refers to a group of friends.

Somewhere there probably is a graphic designer or city planner who can use this story, lol. Billboards and these huge signs are distracting things to have on the road.

It'd be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.

I feel like the dialogue and the world capture a vibe that is basically unparalleled, but I agree that it’s too much. The pacing just feels so slow sometimes. Maybe the reboot will strike a better balance.

You asked, so I just felt like chiming in, lol. Ultimately it's up to you if you want to buy it. You'll get to play it for a few years at least, I imagine. It depends on how long EA decides to support it. This is going to be a live service game too, so the quality of the game is going to depend on the management at EA. It could be good at first but get worse like Overwatch. It could be bad at launch and get much better with time. You never know.

For a second, I thought OP got banned from Duolingo.

It takes away the entire game when EA stops supporting it.

I feel like the gap between windows and more user friendly distros like Ubuntu and Mint is pretty narrow now. Linux still has to shake off the reputation of being difficult to use though. I’m not sure what that will take.

Microsoft has held onto the market with a variety of tools, even some downright anti competitive practices. Even if Linux was hypothetically a better OS, in every way, for every user, toppling MS as the dominant player would be still met with some resistance. That’s what happened with OS/2, and that was backed up by IBM.

It’s probably not that bad, but the attitude towards novice users is a red flag. I get not having the time or energy to respond to each and every help request, but putting that in a readme is basically telling users that they’re on their own. I think I’d get ridiculed if I started asking for help.

It’s a good strategy if you’re trying to keep your software niche though.

To be clear, it seems like cool software. Compiling every time you need to change your config seems excessive to me, but I think I get the vibe. There’s just no reason to be preemptively hostile to new users.

Final shot is Jack Black clumsily wading through a poison swamp, “not again!”

How long until I should go insane though? A month? Two weeks?

You can just visit a different community, but it won't help. Lion King Linux memes will follow you to the ends of the earth.

 

I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working normally. This was easily fixed with Verizon support, but it was a hassle since I’m still on my parents’ phone plan. Am I likely to have this or a similar issue after installing a new OS, or should my cell service and data continue to work?
