I wouldn’t say it’s “not up to the challenge” insomuch that like when you want to convince someone to not use Chrome, you’re running into the problem that you have to create a framework under which the amount of problem Chrome can be can actually be measured/registered.

People always assume “Yeah but the average user doesn’t care”, but never truly read that line and realize what it implies.

It’s not that my mum opens Chrome, sees that it’s 74/100 on the problematic-software-you-shouldn’t-use-scale, and then decided to use it anyways.
She opens it. That’s it. It ends there.

There is no “This is a 74/100 problem”.
There is no problematic-software-you-shouldn’t-use-scale.
There is no scale.
There isn’t even the conceptual idea for it, and hence no reason or impetus to ever internally have such a scale.

And now comes an important question: Why? Or rather, why not?

And the answer is both easier and also impossibly harder than most of us trying to convince others would want to accept: Because it doesn’t matter.
To my mum, she couldn’t give a flying fuck what others think about Chrome, she wants to open a web page. She has actual problems in her actual life, she doesn’t care a rat’s arse what the tiny computer she looks up the weather and contacts her kids on does to allow her to do that internally. She’s worried about her health, about her colon surgery healing or about her mum (my grandma is 93) having fallen down.

So… no news

It’s insane how much goes into the armoire now. Finally this system is getting major reworks.

I said to a guildmate already that it won’t be long before the armoire and GD cease to exist as they are and we get a single interface with a “registry” for item-looks we’ve registered. That seems to be where this is headed, in any case.

There was Dispatch and 1000xResist on there but I now bought both of those.

I guess once I had time to play them, the new LiS? But right now, kinda nothing. 😅

Sure, but it’s also far from the only time that guy has been making shit up, and that’s independent of the part where the Switch 2 is still the fastest-selling console ever (at least when it was last-posted after 7 months on the market it was), so it’s a bit of a weird point to make about “flagging demand” unless that’s an extremely recent thing.

Careful with these re-citations. The original Bloomberg article is ny Mochizuki, someone who has consistently pulled things out of his arse for years now.

Unless you’re currently playing on your Switch 1 4k Pro model that arrived ~2 years ago, I would not give much weight to this.

(and even if, the cited 4 mil sales is an insanely high number, even the Switch 1 only once managed an actual 6 mil quarter average for 24 mil in a year - but like I said, it’s very likely made up entirely, given the author)

The knocker-upper upper-knocker.

Hrm so I searched around that site a bit, and I genuinely cannot find them ever discussing that. Maybe it’s in some of the videos (a very poor choice of design for something that supposedly is about more inclusive communication) but mostly it seems to be seminares and workshops.

But just to ask the general question, I still need to make a negative assessment, yes? I still say “worst”, not “++ungood”. So I would also call something “stupid”, not “unsmart”?
Intuitively just from the title, of course nonviolent communication ought to be a thing, but that’s distinct from a discussion as to whether all uses of a word should take in account all other uses of the same word, no? E.g. stupid person vs stupid move, or rape as a crime vs rape as a plant.

Why not, if I may ask?

This begs the question how I’d negatively assert outcomes and efforts if I am not to use negative language to describe it lest it’d be cruel.

Did you accidentally reply to the wrong post? I said something about word use and language, not about judgement and observations or decisions.

Yeah exactly, the mentioned words like ‘stupid’ or ‘lazy’ aren’t exclusive to describing neurodivergency at all. In fact I’d argue that’s a tiny minority of their use.

So as s simple example from the system I work with:

Customers can set rolling validities for alerts, e.g., Monday 8-10.

If a customer from a place which currently has DST puts in 8-10 say, CEST, in their browser (6-8 UTC) then they intuitively expect this to still be 8-10 their local time (7-9 UTC) when later winter time rolls around.

But, all data checked for alerts comes in in UTC and different users editing these validities are from different countries, timezones and summer time preferences.

Gets funky really quickly. Especially because the evaluation has to account for the DST shift essentially on a per-recipient DST-when-configured vs DST-when-evaluated basis.
(This is genuinely a simple example, it gets worse 😁)

Nice! I’m a programmer, I hate daylight saving time with a passion. Feels like half of all bugs in IT somehow trace to it. 😑

I’m more concerned how he had ten kids and then felt overwhelmed when his wife left him. Like what the fuck?!

Danger noodle! <3

And if you live for rent, at least over here in Germany your landlords are obliged to replace them regularly, but like you say that just means they’ll replace them with previous ones that have been checked and had batteries replaced.

We already had Diablo 2. So there’s no reason to keep going then, right?

And mind you despite what people love to say, if you actually talk to Nintendo Support, refunds for digital purchases are entirely normal.

They always offered them right away for me, even when I explicitly didn’t want one. Hell they offered to refund me a hardware purchase without me asking about it, just as an option in case I don’t want it any longer.
