Sunken City… it just drags on and on and on. I want to finish it, but every time the main mission gets interrupted by a side quest or I can’t find the “trigger” for the obvious next step clue I lose the will to play the game.

I think the common goal is not to sound smart, but add variety and diversity to the language, so it doesn’t sound so boring.

This gets really boring and repetitive
How quickly your culture can absorb new people. If you’ve got a hundred people who are in culture a, and you integrate 100 people from culture b. Now culture a is 50/50. And it’s hard for culture a to maintain its traditional positioning.
If you want to maintain a culture, a people, a language, you need to gate how many people enter the population at any time. So that it can be absorbed.
You similar problems with militaries, how quickly they can ramp up new recruits will still maintaining their previous cadre culture.
oh no! Not Johnny drop tables!
yes, you are the asshole. Because you want to keep fighting and your making this post to continue the fight.
If you were not a asshole you wouldn’t care about winning a internet debate.

You could get a “smart tv” but use it as a dumb tv, no internet, no wifi, just have it hooked up to a single input… Then that input could be whatever you want.
For myself I just cast my livingroom laptop screen; no limitations on what i can watch; I suppose if you wanted something dedicated you could setup a micro computer with a wireless keyboard/mouse combo
I just finished this, yes it took me a month.
I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.
I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.
I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.
I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel
He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license. The death of BOS followed one year from the creation of this essay

If I don’t recognize your number I’m not answering the phone. Unless, I specifically am waiting for a call, like from an archaic doctor’s office, or to get a verification of something. That is the only circumstance I will answer a unknown number from.
Even then, I use a voice answering service, that asks the person to identify themselves, and then I am told who is calling. So if that’s not filled in I still don’t answer.
Then, if they get to voicemail, and they don’t leave a voicemail message, they’re obviously spam… And I’m vindicated by not answering the phone
90% - If I recognize your phone number, I will answer the call if I’m not in a meeting. If you call multiple times in a row, I will leave the meeting to answer your call. But it better be an emergency or we’re going to have some feedback to go over…
Also, the people who call multiple times instead of texting and then calling, really really really really really need to stop doing that. If it’s an emergency call, text, call again. Because of the call I’m going to pay attention to what the text message says. So I can see oh it’s a f****** emergency. If you’re the kind of person who leaves a voicemail message, or text message, that just says call me back as soon as you can. F*** you. Learn how to communicate
Dreaming of your code when sleeping.
I have a, honest to goodness breaks the electron flow, power switch for a reason, the shutdown command was a warning not a request.
AAAA : on the rails open world where you can only do a few pre-approved actions.
Emergent gameplay is for Indies
Reverse the polarity of circuit diagrams so electrons flow along the arrows drawn for current.
if it isn’t meant for me, that’s totally fine.
That also means it’s not my fault when the thing that isn’t meant for me doesn’t get a audience, right? Right?
Downvotes are open, but yeah, not currently exposed to every client, but its possible :) Maybe a server can show a sentiment score for a user, i do know one lemmy fork actually does that already, but I forgot which one.
Opening up your request for advice with an attack on people isn’t helpful, it makes lemmy a more combative place, and will diminish the totality of advice you get.
Since your still learning typing, you have a great opportunity to program yourself with chorded keying rather then the standard touch typing. I highly recommend it, its quite the force mutiplier.
As far as learning key layout, go full immersion, print out the key layout on paper, replace your keycaps with blanks (keep the home row bumps). It will suck for a week, but your more likely to learn the layout by touch this way. Keep playing your typing training games!
If you want to go full crazy, braille keycaps are fun
Yeah, I would love to see a user score on names (in addition to account age we have now):
How combative they are (i.e. referring to people as nazi’s, hitler, philes, ists, etc)
How likely they are to downvote a post vs upvote
How positive they can be (i.e. saying nice things)

Donate to a non-profit organization, that’s well audited and regulated, that’s not a problem.
Donating to a for-profit organization is a huge problem. The incentives are all misaligned. And should not be encouraged.
