Scroll all day, and that's just normal. Shoot heroin all day, and everyone loses their minds.

Lots of Uber Eats drivers.

Telemetry Brain and "Most average users don't..." may explain why Firefox has been getting consistently worse for a long time.
Re:How Each Pillar of the First Amendment Is Under Attack on Monday March 31, 2025 @12:46AM (#43531171)
Perhaps being in favour of free expression is finally about to stop being unfashionable and offensive.
Re:GoLic, injects license into source code files on Tuesday October 29, 2024 @05:04PM (#41989398)
It's a superstitious practice.
I think it's weird to want to avoid any mention of immigration when discussing housing supply and demand.
Rapidly increasing the population in this situation is probably not the smartest policy.
Just shut down Meta and something like 75% of the problem goes away. One neat trick, etc.
Policy should not be informed by TikTok memes about brain development.

The instantaneous one is best.

Don't you understand how slices work?

I think people are more concerned about the brazen displays of antisocial behaviour.

"Chemical imbalance" is not common parlance in psychiatry.
Re:Antidepressant use is surging in Britain on Saturday January 20, 2024 @04:30PM (#39072557)
Shit Life Syndrome is on the increase. It seems that a lot of people feel that they and their loved ones are quickly running out of track.
Lost sales due to intolerable slowness definitely occur.

The best part of using vim is telling everyone you use vim.
Re:A math professor who objects to diversity statements on Saturday January 13, 2024 @11:08PM (#38987352)
Compelled statements and a ton of performative bullshit aren't going to do anything about unjust laws in the 1800s, mind you.
It's an election year.
You're probably used to high latency.
I have never encountered an Electron app that can even display the results of keystrokes in a timely manner, and that includes vscode. All Electron apps waste system resources to an obscene degree. Also, Electron apps have already thrown away OS conventions to the point that user interface consistency has become a thing of the past.

I don't believe that either choice is ideal, but if Godot were ubiquitous instead of Electron, applications would probably at least be less laggy and more memory-efficient.
