Regulation? In the US?

Not in this timeline.

Just wait until they hear about the host of the Apprentice

It’s an awful mix of half-assed approaches to things. Awkward syntax on everything and very poor at recognizing what types of data it is handling.

Open a CSV in a fresh Excel install. It will almost certainly mistake something for a date if the CSV is sufficiently large (unless the user is exceedingly explicit at changing settings for that particular CSV). It will reformat that data as a date, and as an added bonus, since Autosave is on by default, it’ll save that reformatted data back into your CSV. Yes, settings can be changed to avoid these things. But why isn’t it just designed better so as to avoid it altogether?

If that was just a natural side effect of spreadsheet apps, I could understand it. But LibreOffice Calc is a million times better at recognizing what types of data it is handling, so it seems to just be Excel’s shittiness.

The fact that it also hasn’t really changed beyond aesthetics since 2004 is just… wild.

Excel?! Have to respectfully disagree on that one.

Ah yes, you’re right.

I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

For your sacrifices, I salute you

Is there a Microsoft product that isn’t?

To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I’ve never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.

It is a CS2 mod – CS2 lacks Steam Workshop support. Paradox did not put it in, in favor of their own mod platform.

There was a lot of beef about the lack of workshop support, but it means it was on Paradox’s platform, if anything.

No trackpads.

Out of consideration.

By the numbers: French or Arabic, as other commenters have mentioned.

But it really, really depends on where in the world you want to travel. If you’re interested in Asia, for example, neither French nor Spanish nor Arabic will help you much (save for some remaining French usage in Vietnam).

A better answer is: figure out where you want to go, then do the math on what to learn.

The endgame of all these subscription services is always the same. They make you reliant, and then they jack prices and reduce service.

At this point, there are enough exemplars that anyone still buying in is just not paying attention.

I got the point of the musical scenes – I just didn’t think they added much of anything to the film. I felt like they were extremely distracting given the tone, as well. I may have felt differently without Lady Gaga. I don’t think she pulled off the kind of freneticism that would have made the music work better.

My thoughts exactly. Tbh, I think a fanedit could do well by cutting a bunch of the straight musical scenes. It’s probably decent as a 90 minute film (theatrical runtime is 2+ hours).

I heard the “but there won’t be any of these wars once Trump is back” argument several times.

I would usually revel in watching the walls come down around someone’s stupid opinions, but in this case, we as a country have to suffer for it.

Maybe ironically, neither one would be appropriate as a linguistic definition.

I still regularly use my original Steam Controller – for the trackpads. It allows me to do M+KB strategy gaming from the couch.

This lacks the killer feature, IMHO, given that I can use any of a wide variety of regular Bluetooth controllers for stuff with controller support.

This is why claiming to be a “prophet” (by any of a multitude of definitions) is so popular for cult leaders.

You can say you have information from a deity, one way or another, or even that you get special treatment from a deity. No special powers needed. If people believe in the deity and they believe you were chosen by that deity, to counteract that would mean counteracting the belief in the deity itself.

This is the only corporate game left. Convince clueless investors that they’ll make more money if they give you money. No real innovation or even a real goal. Just buzzword after buzzword to get those investors on board.

Capitalism doesn’t breed innovation. It eventually eats it.

I’d like to think some things will change once not every major investor is clueless after just being rich their whole lives, but given how generational wealth works, I’m not holding my breath.

Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I want on Lemmy.

No no no…Sonic and Knuckles was just Sonic 3, the other half of the cartridge that they sold you a second time, somehow.

It’s not though? Sonic & Knuckles has unique stages and story vs. Sonic 3. Unless you mean they were designed as one game and split at the end before release; that I don’t know.
