I feel like this is very dismissive and also ignores that lots of relationships do inevitably start with vague signals.

“Yeah, well, women have it worse so your feelings are irrelevant and it’s okay if they ghost you.”

As I said in my original comment, I get it. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a difficult situation for men.

Being dismissive of men’s feelings and not letting them talk about how dating is difficult for them isn’t helping anyone.

I get where they’re coming from, but it’s still not great being a guy and only getting vague signals that you’re trying to piece together. Ghosting is also another issue that’s honestly just disrespectful.

While it may ultimately be those man children who ruin it for everyone, some upfront honesty is generally very appreciated.

I come from a society where the government doesn’t imprison people willy nilly.

And I will be avoiding the UAE like the plague, because our values about peoples freedom and rights are polar opposites.

It should be illegal and they should be punished, but the fine is ridiculous and 3 months of jail is disgusting.

In the UK you don’t treat someone like this for a single offense, where someone’s annoyed and has an outburst.

If you and the UAE are on the same page about how to punish people, maybe you should reflect on that.

The fine is obscene as well.

I don’t think “gambled and lost” is a good enough excuse to imprison someone for 3 months over verbal abuse.

I don’t want to defend this asshole, but the punishment is just too much for what he did.

Fuck that guy, but at the same time that’s a ridiculous sentence.

Honestly, you have to be mental to go to one of these countries. I know they want to become tourist hubs, but there’s just so many reasons to avoid.

That’s a really stupid thing to think.

I totally knew they weren’t birds 👀

Ironically, the energy drinks are basically a side business for Red Bull.

Yes, I will single-handedly keep this song alive.

For real though, I just think it’s a fun song. Maybe I didn’t work retail long enough for it to get to me.

Is the insinuation that Wonderful Christmastime is a bad song?

If so, I’m ready to throw hands.

Thanks, I’ll definitely need to give Linux gaming another shot then.

The last bit that might hold me back is getting my Hue Sync stuff working. It sounds silly, but it really makes games feel so much more immersive that I don’t want to be without it.

I’ll need to give Linux gaming another chance at some point.

All I know is that people were saying games run great on Linux a couple of years ago as well, but when I actually tried it for myself the performance was unusable.

Maybe that was my fault for over complicating my setup, but even when I tried a basic setup it still felt very janky.

Not sure if anyone’s able to advise, but does RTX and variable refresh rate work on Linux?

Those are absolute requirements for me.

Also from the source:

To sustain our ongoing development efforts, about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.

Windows 10 and 11 are the same product, just a new version…

They’re also extremely similar (damn near identical), and if you currently use windows 10 then eventually you’ll have no option but move to 11…

Can you tho?

You’re gonna get a whole team of people retrained with software they’re not used to, probably doesn’t have proper support or learning resources to fall back on, and may lack features or compatibility?

They might save some money, but a lot of businesses are more than happy to pay a lot to ensure they don’t have to worry about the above, and they can get on with their company’s actual purpose.

I guess we’re just waiting until something awful happens before it’s properly regulated.

Not surprising.
