Isn’t it more akin to stealing money though? Or to be more precise stealing the potential of money since not everyone who pirates would ever have paid for it on the first place.

For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

They can still release their bespoke parts without any of the third party licensed stuff. Even without instructions on what needs to be gotten and put back in. It’d allow the smarter guys in the community have a headstart to figuring it out anyway. Most licensed software can be replaced, look at the recent decomps like the Lego island one.

Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you’ve already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

I miss fireworks. For me that was the best. I’ve never jived with Photoshop or is alternatives.

I have since landed on krita, aseprite and inkscape. But i still miss the workflow I got used to with fireworks.

They’re meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you’ve been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you’re not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.

That’s the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.

Gotta laugh or else you’ll cry-ahh humour

Minimising is what should be done in situations like this. Perfect is the enemy of good.

You can come a complaint of inaccuracy on the BBC website. If you have the time to do so, do so. Stating they were antisemitic is slander and misinformed.

Proper grammar means shit all in English, unless you’re worrying for a specific style, in which you follow the grammar rules for that style.

Standard English has such a long list of weird and contradictory rules with nonsensical exceptions, that in every day English, getting your point across in communication is better than trying to follow some more arbitrary rules.

Which become even more arbitrary as English becomes more and more a melting pot of multicultural idioms and slang. Although I’m saying that as if that’s a new thing, but it does feel like a recent thing to be taught that side of English rather than just “The Queen’s(/King’s) English” as the style to strive for in writing and formal communication.

I say as long as someone can understand what you’re saying, your English is correct. If it becomes vague due to mishandling of the classic rules of English, then maybe you need to follow them a bit. I don’t have a specific science to this.

Obligatory Lemmy is social media response

I think elevators are fixed height. You go underground once. Then when you’re about to go back up again you end up going down instead. So now you’re down 2 levels. But you never go back up 2 more elevators so the ground level when you get back up way lower than the ground at the start.

Take no heed. Americans only think politics extend as far as their two party system and think it’s binary too.

(I know I’m generalising and not all Americans are as I described here)

I check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)

I’m in the same block built boat as you. I always vehemently defend this game since finding out the general gaming public don’t like it.

Same, as a kid i had no idea if the controversy to and was still waiting on a sequel for some time after. I thought it was a novel idea and it was my first proper foray into Norse mythology.

Bit presumptuous to assume I and others are American too like

What’s xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

The worst part for teams is if you do contract work and need to be a part of multiple teams instances… It’s a MASSIVE fucking pain. Microsoft’s login processes are absolute infuriating and even more so if you have to log in to multiple different accounts that all somehow have the same email address but different tenants without letting you know which account version is for which tenant.

We had to use slack for our internal stuff so we could always be in contact with each other because you could only be signed into one teams instance at a time without jumping through crazy hoops.

I initially wanted us to move to teams but that hurdle stopped us. I’m kinda glad in hindsight.
