  • I meant like their tactile hardware, specifically. They make things that feel dialed in and designed for intuitive use, aesthetics, and quality feel. Considering car manufacturers have been big fans molded plastic with sharp unbeveled edges for the past 20 years with uncomfortable interiors, I’m curious what they would come up with instead.

    I don’t do much under the hood work with my computers though and I’ve heard that they sacrifice a lot of that versatility to make users of all experience levels pretty intuitive, so I can imagine that would be frustrating for someone working on them. So I think I get what you’re saying.















  • Exactly my problem with Poe’s Law; it exists because even on NotTheOnion everyone’s on guard to either go toe to toe or march in line. Like Poes Law doesn’t exist, because people are less intelligent like you mentioned before (hopefully sarcastically but I’d hate for you to spell it out for me), but just how people tend to look for an argument instead of optimistic engagement until proven otherwise. We’re all here starting and contributing to conversations because most of us care about these growing communities.

    Kinda feels like you’re calling me an edgy 12 yo btw. How old are you? Was that a compliment from a ten year old or belittling remark from a teenager?



  • Thank you, im aware though. I just really like jokes and tagging one as /s lessens them.

    It’s like a laugh track, rubber chicken, or rimshot. It just telegraphs the joke and robs discovering the humor. I know I’m very alone in this opinion by now, but the s/ is just a bad thing. We shouldn’t need a que to be on the lookout for the silliness in the absurd. Assume everyone’s playful and joking then you’ll laugh more. Disagree with something and make fun of it or riff with the stuff that you like. It’s just more fun.
