If the gaming community is any indication (nvidia, lootboxes and gatcha mechanics, pre-ordering etc.), most people won't care and will be just happy that prices are down again and FOMO will win.
Re:The phone ban has had a big impact on school work on Saturday October 12, 2024 @03:35PM (#41821789)
Reminds me of my time in boarding school, my grades were awesome there and I read alot cause I can't play video games, unfortunately it didn't make me wiser so I struggled a lot with self discipline later on.
Re:The mystery of why left-handers are so much rarer (2016) on Thursday October 10, 2024 @11:18AM (#41799752)
To me it feels like whichever hand I start with lol, it does make me wonder if the reason I'm much better at fps games with a controller is because my left is my precision hand but I'm using the mouse with my right. (I know controllers have aa but I'm still much better than a mouse even though I've been using mouse to play rts and moba games my whole life over using a controller for just apex)
Re:LazyVim on Monday July 17, 2023 @09:19AM (#36757923)
I think learning vim was very worthwhile for me cause I now use vim bindings if it's supported, but yeah vscode was getting slower for me the past few months and I decided to try neovim again and man so many things have changed since the last time I tried it with the new Lua config. I feel like it'll take me a day to recreate a config im satisfied with and it'll probably have a few bugs too after using it for a while.

The new one sucks, but the old one sucks too imo. I know you don't say old websites were great but I've seen alot of people saying that and yet their examples are bad too, usually they look simple and efficient but they're horrible, like spanning the whole page or not enough empty spaces or bad use of colors.
Re:Vercel raises $150M Series D on Tuesday November 23, 2021 @10:37AM (#29319023)
I actually once switched to netlify cause their free tier allows commercial sites, the websites i made in this situation are pretty local and small and I doubt vercel would even notice but it was easier to just switch to netlify than research all the reasons why those websites can be considered commercial.
As a North East person of India who went for higher studies in Central India, so many of us dropped out of college cause the teachers use Hindi which is not used by us. It's a really hard problem to solve cause the level of English education is still bad and many teachers don't even speak proper English but use another language and you get some people who don't understand the language at all. The colleges and schools are still advertised as English medium though so it was a real shocker for me.
