IcyToes

I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.

Nonsense. Slack was far superior, though not touched it since it was bought out.

Do you really think it had that much attention?

1 PO, 1 BA and a part time dev split across teams. They're also the QA.

You will find that if you lead with that, you'll be perceived as negative. If you lead with all negative and no positives, you're going scare everyone away. People who are cynical and negative are offputting. Positivity is a choice. Think about the people in your life. Are they positive or the "well ackshually" types? You may see it as a honest, but if you're not showing your good side too, you are giving a dishonest picture. Give only as much negative as you give positive. Be honest when things come up. Trust is important.

Why don't you drive? Environment? If so, communicating you're doing your bit to help the planet communicates much better when it comes up than "I don't and will never drive". It just come across all grumpy smurf "I hate driving!". Generally on a first date, you meet someone at a venue, and go from there. If you hit off a good rapport, they will not care as they'll be excited of the positives. Most dating is about feeling. Does this person make you feel good? Is there a positive aura here? Is this more enjoyable than being home? If yes, odds of a second date are quite good.

Everyone gets shy on a date, but if you both don't talk, no one will. Feel the fear, and do it anyway, so to speak. How can you make someone feel safe if you're not confident enough to break a silence. How come you'd expect them to do all the talking if they're also shy?

The key point is, you can meet someone who likes what you like, but you have to create the opportunity for that to happen. If you don't, you're choosing the normal not meeting someone path. For record, most of my partners past and present are women that enjoy staying in and watching TV/films and even games. There are many if you want to look for them.

Meanwhile the Labour right (lead by Keir) appointing Blair era adviser with close links to the private health industry as if PFI wasn't bad enough.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

I'm not sure I understand. I don't think farming is boring.

The measley non Google portion of revenue is 81m dollar. If you pay a top dev 200k, you could pay 100 top devs 20m and still have 60m to play with.

This is even before considering a Bing/Yahoo/Ecosia deal.

Mozilla will be fine, but they'll likely need to be leaner. Lay offs will likely play a part in that. Just got to hope they size and structure it right.

Also, you lose less stamina as you level up. Better tools and food make energy irrelevant. Early game, you start from scratch and it gets easier over time. You get sprinklers etc. No more watering.

It's a farming game. Farming is a big part of it. Expecting not to farm in a farming game is a little misplaced as an expectation.

I love Rimworld and Stardew, but they're different. Rimworld is a strategy game in which you strategically plan and the NPCs run their lives until you take control of them.

You can respect a game and not enjoy it. Games are art and taste is important. I hate first person shooters for example. Don't force yourself if you don't want to, but expectation and comparison are thief's of joy. If you want to enjoy something, don't expect, just play and let it guide you and choose which parts of the mechanics you enjoy interacting with more.

I'm in the UK also. I care about this though.

How can you infringe on a patent that doesn't exist when you're writing the code?hopefully Palworld can afford the lawyers to kill this off now.

And you think US government and 5 eyes countries won't have access? What happens when that elaborate detailed profile data of yours gets hacked?

You are free to choose at any point where you draw the line.
