People can choose what to spend their time doing. Some of us choose to be able to install operating systems, other choose to become master gardeners. Who’s to say which one is right or wrong? The gardeners probably don’t have any issues using WhatsApp, even if there is advertising in it, because it solves the problem they have. Then they go back to the thing they’re experts at instead, saying things like “why can’t these tech sheeple grow a radish? send them all to jail.”

It took me a lot of convincing to get my friends on Signal instead of WhatsApp. I believe WhatsApp was talking about adding advertising or charging money, and I used that to get people to switch.

This reminds me of the argument I see from Linux users that Linux is just as easy to set up as Windows. I think it doesn’t occur to people making that argument that most people never even set up Windows. It’s just on their computer when they get it.

The setup needs to be fast and easy for people to consider it. Nobody will spend even 5 minutes figuring something out these days.

Edit to add that a bunch of younger people have never had a computer or laptop. They do their computer stuff on a phone or possibly a tablet and they definitely never did anything technical like reinstall the OS.

Unless I missed it multiple times, I’m amazed that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on the list at all but something like Mini Motorways is. No offense to Mini Motorways, but RDR2 was a mind-blowing game for me.

Yeah, I tend to agree with that.

If I was looking for a game to play right now, and The Last Of Us 2 was my choice, I’d go with the remaster over the original though. I think most people would, so I think it’s a good recommendation.

They’d have to triple their sleep though.

Surprise, a ranked list of games leads to controversy.

I think months, or some grouping of days is very useful. It’s harder to understand something like “days 90-120 in the northern hemisphere are usually good times to plant seed” or “I love the weather in New England around days 240-280”. Months and seasons give context faster than doing some internal mapping of day numbers.

Green Day probably wouldn’t be happy about rewriting their song to “Wake Me Up When Days 244 to 273 Have Ended” either.

I set one up with my feeder and I saw a hummingbird on it yesterday. Thanks for the advice!

Very reminiscent of this picture that’s hanging on my wall.

The person you’re replying to is talking about the text in the image. “Is it though. Is it a model cucumber.” which should have two question marks.
