No there isn’t. Companies are incentivised to extract as much money as possible from any given buyer. There is never a “this is enough money, I won’t charge you more” situation. Inevitably every buyer will become a non-buyer, because they were outpriced.

Competition should solve this issue, but it doesn’t work in media because there’s no two rights holders for star wars content, or marvel content, or whatever. So services cannot compete on the same content, because the rights holders simply won’t let them.

Copyright is a pest.

Sure let me know in a ticket, I’ll get to it eventually!

Working the neutral way currently. There’re so many tickets, all of them more important than the other, I can just as well take from the stack.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation!

Thank you

Slightly off-topic, please excuse the question:

I’m new to Fedora (and Linux Desktop in general) and saw the update for 40 yesterday. Is it save to simply hit the update button and let it do the update, or should I take any precautions, or anything afterwards which is expected to reset (settings, applications, etc? idk).

Data and such is savely backed up. That’s not a concern.

Double edged sword, but yeah.

Acquisitions don’t need to pay for themselves. Ideally they do, but sometimes it’s enough if they just help the company’s main business stay in business, or grow.

IBM is making $30bn+ in gross profit each year.

It would be possible to argue about all of them, as each has genuine use cases. Just not to the extend they were praised during the hype.

If you’re thinking about rage quitting a job you don’t even have yet, maybe take a different career from the beginning?

What the hell.

Except cheaters would flock to the tournament-legal game mode because there’s less cheaters. Why would they bother to try and win against other cheaters if there’s a better chance to win against easier opponents?

Cheaters cheat so they win easier. They don’t care about fairness.

Most likely the mic is simply powered by the voltage which also powers the headphones.

But there’s also mics which don’t need voltage to work at all (unlikely for headsets tho).

Well, obviously someone did the math and figured out it’s better to have these titles than not. So I’d say you’re wrong.

If the title makes more people click in the first place and the amount of people who stay to read at least until they know they’re not interested, is bigger than the number of visitors if they had a normal title… the stupid title wins.

Unfortunately that’s not just gaming related news, but all news (and non-news).

It’s by design. It leaves you wondering (and ideally click on the article).

What I actually would like to know if journalists, or whoever writes the articles, are picking these headlines consciously or if they’re following guidelines. I can imagine both scenarios.

Unfortunately, if anyone, I do.

We do that for some of the more complex business logic. We wrote libraries, which are used by our tests, and we wrote tests which test the library functions to ensure they provide correct results.

What always worries me is that WE came up with that. It wasn’t some higher up, or business unit, or anything. Only because we cared to do our job correctly. If we didn’t - nobody would. Nobody is watching the testers (in my experience).

Who tests the tests

You don’t know anything about me or my work experience.

Throwing around insults is not helpful, but neither is “trust me bro”.

Fair, maybe that’s how it was meant. But “dicking around” makes me think otherwise.

If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.

It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.

Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.
