Well, in your bubble maybe. I can assure you the majority of people your age barely grasp the concept of the internet, let alone online gaming. Same goes for people in their 20s. It’s like cars for many people. Sure, they know very well how to use them, but have no idea about what other people do with their cars, like racing or off-roading. They might have some rough idea of what it probably is, but no clue about all the intricacies.

Nowadays most people use the internet, but that doesn’t mean they understand the pain when someone leaves your online match. Not everybody is playing online games, let alone online games where a leaving teammate actually matters.

@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, if you like licking boots.

Consumables like that are common to be accidentally taken home if you don’t switch to work clothes at work. Any company complaining about it is insane.

If I want a pair that lasts longer than a year I can expect to pay 80€+ here

last time we had a foosball tournament, I was made to play on my own against teams of two.

I think it helped me not being slowed down by someone less capable. I won against the other 4 teams on my own.

I don’t think they will make me play on my own again lol

most grocery stores have a number system so that a cashier can punch in a number to ring up a certain product. this is especially useful for fruit and vegetables, as often times it doesn’t have packaging and doesn’t have a barcode. the vast majority of groceries use 4011 as the number for bananas.

I’d imagine it’s because the number 4011 is already used in production and logistics of bananas, so the grocery stores just stick to the barcode/number that bananas already have on their box when they get delivered. that’s just a guess though.

estimations in software development are much less reliable IMO

meekah, to asklemmy in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?
@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

my favorite new years eve was probably the one in 2020/2021 because all my friends were online to play video games, we even held a tournament in golf with your friends haha

Sounds like a weekend that you could have saved if the software was just implemented properly and accepted spaces.

Something being an industry standard does not necessarily mean it’s good. Sometimes it just means it was the cheapest, or sometimes even just because it was used for so long. How long did it take for Torx to somewhat replace philips head screws despite being better in most cases?

I think date strings are made for human and machine readability. Similar to XML or JSON. So, why not improve systems so that we can have more human readable date strings? If you don’t care about human readability and want to make sure there is no confusion with spaces, you can just use epoch timestamps.

honestly, if a space breaks your program, it’s kind of a shit program.

I was not aware that’s a thing. So you’re saying every link I get on outlook has a redirect link stuck in front of it because of azure AD? But why does that not cause chrome or firefox to load the pages slowly?

Azure DevOps. Another Microsoft product.

No other browser does this, and it only happens when opening the link from outlook. Which does make sense to me because edge has some kind of outlook integration. Probably our incompetent network admin and weird ass network and AD situation does not help, but it’s still a bunch of microsoft products that don’t work properly together.

@meekah@lemmy.world avatar

hmm, interesting idea for sure. I think I would just leave it plugged in 24/7 though so I think I’ll skip this one for now.
