“But, it doesn’t support multi-story gingerbread houses…”

“You don’t really need that. It’s not a supported feature. If you want it, write an appropriate Waylandmas compositor to support the functionality.”

If you’re waiting for a xenophobia-free society with no right-wing nationalist presence before you’re allowed to say something nice about a place, I’m afraid the only place we’re allowed to praise is the moon.

Get yourself some universal health care, good roads, affordable small cars, and cheap, beautiful old houses in the countryside.

People say lots of things.

It’s a joke, my friend.

The idea being that these amazing, efficient taxis yield more accidents, more cheaply than a human.

But at a FRACTION of the cost!

Agreed. And that’ll be the time I’m up in arms.

So they don’t waste my bandwidth on badly compressed, huge source video that I can’t see the difference on anyway?

Sounds like win/win to me.

This comes up a lot, and I don’t necessarily get it. I have all smart TVs, and I just never, ever, EVER let them connect to wifi even ONCE for any reason. It’s not like it NEEDS it for anything.

Oh, I’m sorry… I might be too quiet.

Oof… felt this one right in the code.

…And the cost of that convenience is now $2000 and a bunch of spyware.

Are you sure? Because based on the internet armchair developers I see around, open source developers are an inexhaustible source of unending miracles that work for free and are fueled by incoherent, conflicting, entitled demands from 14 year olds.

Now… I don’t like to brag…

Nice troll bait.

No, I know EXACTLY what I’m talking about. Google’s old results were based on click-through determining which results were best. Now that the quality of the average user is lower, so is the quality of the average click-through result.

That’s as much response as you’re going to get though. You responded in bad faith, so now you’re going to talk to yourself if you choose to respond.

There is more to it than that… 20 years ago most of the people on the internet were likely similar to you, so most of their desired results were similar to yours.

Now people on the internet since the early 2000 are a minority compared to the “democratized” flood of users who joined in the mobile crapplication phase and started skewing search results towards simpler, less useful results.

SEO and ads didn’t help, but the whole ecosystem broke the model.

It’s so nice that SOMEONE is trying to make good use of great technology and isn’t actively trying to engineer microSD cards out of existence.

Absolutely. You know where all the players are and what they have. Just check if something that the client is reporting is IMPOSSIBLE and kick the player who threw the request. If you have a player who is performing at over a certain level of realistic performance, have someone manually check them to verify they’re legitimately that skilled and if so, flag the account as “actually just that good”. It’s the only reliable solution.
