Yup. It is so weird to me how little the destroyed work-life-balance is mentioned whenever declining birth rates are discussed (not only in Japan).

Danish person here. Sorry about my country. Our politicians are totally decoupled from the average voter, and propose shit like this all the time.

Hilarious. The EU still subsidize about 1.5€ per kilogram of beef. Maybe fix that shit first?

I really hope other publishers will be inspired. Just yesterday I had an hour to kill on a train ride, and wanted to play some Mass Effect on my SteamDeck. It took 25 minutes just to get started, because EA updated their required launcher, which couldn't be bypassed because it required Internet connection, and then forced the update (which of course bugged out, and had to be redone thrice). A 25 minute boot time for something that doesn't affect the game the slightest is a terrible user experience.

One of the biggest culture shocks as a Danish person visiting California, was seeing how normalised driving high was. I smoke pretty regularly, but I would never even think about getting behind the wheel after a single puff.

Or the fact that we actually pay people to study (~1000 USD a month), instead of putting them into crippling lifelong debt.

It's dangerous to deal drugs to famous people. The police will actually care and investigate if they overdose. Take note, ketamine dealers!

Same. It physically hurts to see talentless suck-ups play the bullshit game and climb the hierarchy, whereas you get punished and kept down for pointing out the bullshit. My best decision ever was to escape the hell that is the field of software development, and instead get into teaching. Now my reward for a job well done is seeing my students succeed and I love it so much.

Adobe is the fucking worst. That immediately killed my hype.

Tried to replicate by subtracting pi from a police officer, but all I got was a type error and a night in jail.

Epic Games launcher/store is nothing more than Tencent spyware using "free games" as bait and masquerading as a Steam competitor.

Well, guess it's time to learn Godot.
