I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.

Securom has been cracked long ago yeah. I believe it was SafeDisc or StarForce that made things hella weird in a cracked game, but that was bypassed by mounting the CD back then and now I think the cracks work too

They are, but now some modern cases don’t have bays so personally I’m still restricted to external if I want one.

I hope you get better soon. Is there any sort of cheap yet good insurance you would qualify for, based on e.g your location, disabilities, income, or anything?

I must admit I don’t know a whole lot about the whole system (though a fair bit more than your average European), but I do know there are cases where you can get good health insurance for cheap. Though I’m sure you’ve already looked into what your options are.

Wouldn’t that be UPS?

It still worked - you could use the software with occasional hiccups, it’s not like there was data loss or anything. It just didn’t work WELL.

And if the business needs aren’t met, said businesses will go to another SaaS company that promises them a better, brighter future.

The user might not be the subscriber, but the user being less productive because the software is getting in their way, will irritate the subscriber.

I know a SaaS company that put thousands upon thousands of engineering hours into making small (and sometimes large) optimizations over their overall crappy architecture so their enterprise customers (and I’m talking ~6 out of the top 10 largest companies in one industry in the US) wouldn’t leave them for a solution that doesn’t freeze up for all users in a company when one user runs a report. Each company ran in a silo of their own, but for the bigger ones… I’m not going to give exact numbers, but if you give every user a total of half an hour of unnecessary delays per day, that’s like 500 hours of wasted time per day per 1000 employees. Said employees were performing extremely overpriced services, so 500 hours of wasted time per day might be something like 100k income lost per day. Not an insignificant number even for billion dollar companies.

I’ve since left the company for greener pastures and I hear the new management sucks, but the old one for sure knew that they were going to lose their huge ass clients over performance issues and bugs.

I’d expect that to be damn near all of them because most stores don’t run their own production companies

And that’s where this article comes in.

If you want to get really strong, you might want protein and creatine supplements to speed up your progress, but even that’s not necessary and they only speed things up a little.

Funny, every primary care provider in my country recommends you take Vitamin D, usually pretty huge amounts

Could be because we get barely any sunshine between like October and February. I’m talking 6 hour days, and even those mostly cloudy.

So for shits and giggles I looked at the introductory video for Clickbank or whatever it was called, the affiliate marketing corp

The gist of it is that to be successful, you wanna sell people health, wealth or… I forgot what the third was, but it’s probably beauty or sex lol

I was going to say something, till I realized you didn’t mean sports coaches

Carry on

Keto works, but whether the supposed science behind it is the reason it works, I have no idea.

People say something about ketones and so on, but for me, it’s just that eating carbs makes me hangry again soon after I’m done eating them, so I’ll want to eat again. Eat less carbs, get less hangry, easier to eat less.

I’m hoping entire custom campaigns.

Back in the day, Operation Flashpoint, the predecessor of ArmA, had a mod community that built mods that came with huge new maps, new equipment and actually decently written campaigns. All because of the official mod tooling, which even came with tutorials.

To be clear: I don’t recline when there’s someone behind me

However

As someone who gets lower back pains from sitting in an uncomfortable position for long, the recline function makes a huuuuuge impact. Recently rode a bus with no recline (and nobody behind me) and by the end of the 1.5 hour ride, I felt horrible.

Perhaps one day it’ll just be systemd at this rate

I’ll go ahead and say it, the first one is a great movie even. It has a particular atmosphere of joy and hopefulness.

Then that entire vibe goes away and it just goes generic dark teenage fantasy with mediocre writing

It’s powered by there being enough of us wage slaves, which requires us to procreate, which is why red states in the US ban sex education, abortion, etc.

Of course, other capitalists have realized they can show ads on porn

Religion, capitalism. Powerful groups want more people to have more children.

Luckily I’m in a progressive enough country that even in school we were taught that masturbation is a thing and not necessarily bad.

As for negative effects - if you do it TOO much, particularly with a very strong grip, then don’t be surprised if, when having actual intercourse, you’re just not feeling much and might be unable to reach orgasm. You might even be uninterested in your partner sexually. A few days without masturbation will fix it though, doesn’t seem to be permanent. Day 2 without doing it and I couldn’t keep my eyes (or hands) off my wife’s body.

Sex was very infrequent for me and my wife in the last few months of her pregnancy, so that’s how I know. Soon as we started doing it on a somewhat regular basis again, I opted to quit jerking it because I wanted to enjoy the real thing more, even if it’s not every single day. No long-term negative effects that I’ve noticed.
