I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol

I think it’s more of an evolution in the way we use computers than a problem. The original Office UI was made during a time of single monitor dominance and now dual monitors is the standard for companies.
My most-used applications for work at AutoCAD and Excel and it’s very rare I DON’T have them maximized. They both have ribbons but even if they didn’t, I can’t imagine using them in a small window. Really the only program I don’t run full screen is Notepad
I have all the stuff I use regularly on the first ribbon. I also run excel with the formula bar 3-lines tall. Common keyboard shortcuts were removed so there’s very little unused clutter
At work I use a 1920x1200 display and have never once thought “ugh I wish I could see 4 more rows” - but if I did, I’d just collapse the ribbon…
The ribbon is better than menus. They’re even customizable. And lots of non-Microsoft software uses ribbons, too.
Plus there’s a search function right at the top if you can’t find the option you’re looking for
From your first comment:
It’s a gimmick, nothing of value is lost
You’re right, you didn’t say it was useless! You said it was valueless. My bad, huge difference…
What a weird think to insult someone over. It does what it says it does and I don’t get why you’re drawing the line on what “true” wireless charging is when I’m not plugging a wire into my phone. You think I “fell for a marketing gimmick” despite using the feature almost exclusively for the past 12 years? How is it a gimmick if I get value out of it?
I like having a clean desk and not accidentally yoinking my phone off. I like not adding wear and tear to the USB port because it sucks when they break. I like that I’ve had a dozen or USB cords die but never once had to toss a wireless charger.
You aren’t the arbiter of what’s useful. You not finding value in wireless charging doesn’t mean it’s a useless gimmick. Get off damn your high horse
Wireless charging rocks, dude
“sleek”
Looks basically the same except it’s full screen now…cool…
Copilot may be a stupid LLM but the human in the screenshot used an apostrophe to pluralize which, in my opinion, is an even more egregious offense.
It’s incorrect to pluralizing letters, numbers, acronyms, or decades with apostrophes in English. I will now pass the pedant stick to the next person in line.
Not to mention the AppleTV is just…a good product. It’s really inexpensive for being the best streaming device for the masses on the market. Updates aside, I don’t think Google could even make a competitor that’s on par.
I haven’t been to a Spanish speaking country in 2 decades, don’t speak Spanish, and the only Spanish speakers I know primarily speak in English around me.
Yet 50% of the ads I’ve been getting on SoundCloud for years are in Spanish…
Is it because I faved a bunch of songs in Portuguese? That’s not even the same language! Is soundcloud’d ad network racist? The people (me) demand answers!
They aren’t fixing shit since the problem is unfixable
Uhhh didn’t Chinese people start the Pooh Bear thing? Pretty sure it has nothing to do with “yellow” as a racial slur.
Nowhere did I say Gaben gets a pass, I’m saying Steam is a great service.
The product stays the same if we bring down their revenue to 1 billion, they aren’t close to bankruptcy. If they took 0.5 %
So? I don’t care if they’re forced to lower his salary. You said nothing differentiates Steam enough and I’m saying it does so by being good.
They are rivals but they don’t actually compete or strive to give their customers any kind of competitive prices.
The majority of customers on all storefronts are fine with the pricing as-is. Steam’s competitive advantage comes from being the best storefront with an amazing library and . That’s why it’s the top dog
And yes, you are defending a billionaire.
I’m clearly not. I’m defending the service itself
The fact that Steam acts like website and not an “app” is amazing. I want to be able to right click, copy and paste, and see the address bar of what I’m looking at.
It’s a great example of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” - Steam updates usually make the software better
There is absolutely nothing that differentiates valve from the other stores front to justify this.
The “justification” is that Steam is a good storefront and others kind of blows. There’s nothing stopping other companies from making good software…they just haven’t.
it’s clear collusion.
That’s not what collusion is… Steam doesn’t sell Nintendo games and is Epic/Microsoft’s rival.
Can’t wait for all the downvotes and simps coming to defend him
To be clear, I’m not defending billionaires. Your talking points are just kind of baseless.
Cobalt Core went on sale and I picked it up - it’s fantastic! Thanks again for the recommendation
Something tells me the market for media servers is very different than the market for BD-R. The only benefit to having a collection of burned discs over a NAS is that you can let people borrow them. It’s otherwise mostly downsides
Here I was thinking it was childhood depression that creates comedians but it was fetal alcohol syndrome all along
