Wild, you are like from the alternate universe where Linux is dominant and nerds play around in windows. Are things better where you are from? :P

paypal’s business model is basically theft. They regularly “freeze” accounts of people that have money to be taken, refuse to unfreeze them, and then when it eventually turns into a class-action lawsuit they settle for pennies on the dollar (that mostly goes to attorneys anyway). When it happened to me over 10 years ago, I was doing remote tech support and getting paid via paypal. Had a business account that was like 10 years of use. Then one day they froze the account and told me there was “suspicious activity”.
When I appealed and asked what suspicious activity they found, they simply said that there was money in the account and there wasn’t before… Then they asked for, specifically, ebay transaction IDs and UPS or Fedex tracking numbers for the products sold on ebay. I explained to them again that I was not selling on ebay and was doing remote tech support. The person on the other end of the phone just said “ok, well, then your appeal is denied. Your account is staying frozen” and hung up.
I ended up just refunding all the transactions that were recent enough I could (because that was the only thing I could do with the account) and sent those customers a note explaining briefly what happened and that I would rather have done the work for free than have done it so paypal can steal the money…
Eventually got tacked onto a class action and got a low double digit payout almost a decade after losing a few thousand…
That might make sense if they were posting pictures of PS1 era Lara Croft, but they aren’t, they always use the newest examples… They would show a bigger gap in time passed if they used the dragonborn from the initial release of skyrim vs the newest remastered version.
It’s crazy to suggest we just stop working on something because it’s good enough, because that’s not what people do.
Came here to say this, glad it’s already been posted.
Also, why is it that every time someone is being critical of advancements in “realistic graphics” they always post screenshots of Lara Croft?
Your suggestion for what he should use instead of Signal, is Signal??
Heat signature. And Minecraft
Is Arch like the linux version of being Vegan? ie the running joke is people using Arch can’t get through a conversation without mentioning it? I feel like I’ve see basically a carbon copy of this comment on so many posts about Linux I’m wondering if there’s an “in joke” there I am missing, lol.
You can’t plagiarize mechanics because you cannot copyright mechanics… And you don’t want to live in a world where you can. Imagine if the first company to make a first person shooter game copyrighted it… Or if Nintendo owned the rights to all 2d side scrolling games… Gaming would have never grown to what it is today.
Hell, even board games would have been crippled by this kind of copyright.
