Doesn't seem like it would be very effective. I assume the overlap of Quake fans and people who have sworn off Microsoft forever is large.

It's a messenger app used in Japan and supposedly some other Asian countries (but I can only vouch for the former).

Now hold on, there's plenty of reasons to not buy Bud Light.

Why take what he said at face value after "Calm down; this is just an experiment... but actually I'm gonna merge this huge thing in a week"?

I think some people just get an irrational block about learning particular things. Like maybe you struggle with a music class in school and just identify as being incapable of learning an instrument, for example, even if they're a skil

My issue with it is that it's a vendor. The need for identification is fair, and I'm not worried about the govt having it. I'm worried about _id.me_ having it.

Just went through this myself. I gave in and made the account, only to then find out I was too late to give them my direct deposit info anyway. (If it's any peace of mind, I did eventually get that check.)

Similarly, when all of this started happening I went and bought some history books for anything that seemed like it would be useful later.

What incentive does a dealer have to know or care why a sale fell through? Bizarre question

If I'm understanding that they're waiting this 5 minutes when they try to launch the game, there's a setting (go to Downloads, scroll down) to do the shader compilation in the background

I similarly used it to finally facilitate a switch to Arch to a couple months ago. Not technically a tool, but it was very convenient to take the Arch wiki, and personalize it by saying "My hardware is X and my use case is Y, can you f

You mean dylanmtaylor? I didn't know he was an MSFT employee but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

It doesn't even need to be random. What if you send an instance of a proprietary file format? Is the company required to share the spec and toolchain so that the govt can verify it (probably) isn't an encrypted message?

I've been having fun trying out Zig recently; would recommend. FYI that they released a big batch of API changes in April (version 0.16.0) so be mindful of learning from old resources.
