What made Reddit worth using was Digg, a better link aggregator, turning to shit.

When the focus of Reddit also shifted to its users not the content, that was the start of its decline.

"Keeping people active on the platform" isn't the great thing you think it is when 1% of it was the good discussion you're remembering, and 99% of it was quoting canned response memes like a college kid in 2007 quoting Anchorman.

This is a game from the 90s my dude. Java was "The portable language".

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

Twitter definitely was not any attempt to emulate the function of SMS.

I can't tell if you don't know what SMS is for, or what Twitter was for.

Angela Collier completes a nice Venn diagram of (making me feel like I'm) learning stuff, righteous anger, and being a person with a face who isn't some new media production studio

False. Just circle some random spot on the picture and send it back with "normally i would ignore this but you should get that checked by a dermatologist btw".

What do you do with all the time you save making titles useless?

"Fahrenheit is how people feel" only makes sense if said people have never used another scale. You know how 100F "feels" because that's what you use. If you used Celsius you'd know how that scale feels instead, and be used to using the more useful scale generally.

I love the sentiment, but also, then choosing famously the first untethered spacewalk for the photo. Why even put tethered in there.

Has anyone got something more productive for me to overthink please

Would it mean that a malicious application being run in non-admin mode by one user could see data/memory in use by an admin user?

If you're using Steam (or any kind of shortcut I suppose), add --skip-launcher to the launch options. Here's how to do so with Steam:

  • Right-click the game in your library and select Properties.
  • Look for the Launch Options field at the bottom of the General tab.
  • Add "--skip-launcher" and close the properties window.
  • Launch the game as normal.
