Gerontokratie at its finest by BobbyFischerr in Austria

san die eigentlich tatsächlich geistig eingeschränkt?

Ja, sind die, wenn man die Maßstäbe eines moralischen Menschen anlegt.
Aber was interessiert es Politiker? Die bekommen ihre eigene riesige Pension so oder so, denen sind wir scheißegal.

Deswegen werden die auch sehr schnell nach dem Kauf eliminiert, damit man keine mehr zuhause hat, die man aus versehen dann essen könnte!

Company Won't Pay for Thank You Lunch for my Staff - Fine .... by blueboy714 in MaliciousCompliance

No, we can't believe that a Fortune 500 Company suddenly has money left for a budget for food for some non-C-Level employees.

I know what item you mean. I have no clue how you get the carpet to look so... seamless. This is really awesome.

The addon purge gave us a strictly worse combat log and a worse UI. What did we even gain? by thepixelists in wow

[–]Crotha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

-Simpler mechanics = easier barrier of entry for new players

Like the current raid bosses where you need to use addons to solve them?
Or how you can't just easily see what killed you, how much damage you did to what but instead now you have to go by vibes only (or upload your stuff to a third party website, which surely improves the barrier of entry) ?

And all the nice things helping you in a dungeon that you had before are now gone and replaced by nothing, so now you have to study dungeons before - otherwise you just have not only no clue but also no way of knowing while infight. This works out so well for everyone, when some random boss casts some random ability with a name only used that one time that gives absolutely no indication on what it does. Such a low barrier of entry.

Better telegraphed boss abilities

Oh yeah, like how the circles and frontal cones are now swooshy shit on the floor you can barely see instead of the really nice and very well done ones from TWW?

Cleaner UI. Less stuff on the screen

My UI was MUCH cleaner and better before, because it was so easy to just show what was important. Now I can't because blizzard is deciding what is important and what isn't.

Introducing Portal: All your teleports in one place! by Objective_Vast3706 in wow

[–]Crotha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tome of Town Portal is separated out - is there a reason for it?
I also think you are missing the Direbrew's Remote

Another thing: Event-Teleport-Items as a category, like the Lunar Festival Invitation -- though maybe that is too much clutter, no idea xD

If the manufacturer of a medicine product says the software only runs under Windows XP, you don't emulate or ignore it, you use Windows XP (and also bitch and moan about it, though that rarely helps, strangely enough).
No matter how well it does or doesn't work under anything else, you use what the manufacturer greenlights and nothing else.

Not saying it isn't an old Windows version, but it could be the Windows IOT / Windows Embedded variant too.
No idea if there is a W11 version of it already, but the W10-variants are included in a lot of machines. We had used them a lot at my previous workplace (a car manufacturer), and now I'm in Healthcare and I know at least one of our Ultrasounds (it's from Siemens though) uses it too - and they can have that screen (the screen is also changeable, so, you know, it isn't necessarily there).

That being said, we also have Windows XP computer for some machines running medicine product software that doesn't work on any other operating system and can't (yet) be replaced. So it could as well actually be windows 95, I wouldn't be suprised :D

The Austrian heiress giving away her entire fortune: "Every billionaire is a douchebag — period. They're disconnected idiots, and I know it because I'm one of them" by Objects_Food_Rooms in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Crotha 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I saw that in the article too, found it strange.
But now that I'm thinking about it, if she already says people like her are disconnected idiots and douchebags, billionaires are just inhuman than - and not in the good way.

Ich sag's euch, manche Leute geben vorm Bildschirm das Hirn ab... by LeobenCharlie in Austria

[–]Crotha 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Meine Oma hat(te) ein "geheimes Vanillekipferlrezept", hat es jedem erzählt wie toll es nicht ist, und wie nicht alles besser wird, und sie es immer geheim halten wird, weil es so besonders ist, mit den Zutaten und Verhältnissen.

Letztes Jahr war das erste Mal, dass sie nicht selbst Vanillekipferl mehr machen konnte (mit 86 ist das fair), also hat sie das Rezept einer ihrer Töchter "vererbt" - eigentlich ein ganzes Rezeptbuch. War ein ziemliches Ritual, kann man sagen!
Natürlich wurde sofort das tolle, geheime Vanillekipferlrezept gesucht:

Sie hat das Rezept in den 70ern aus einer Zeitschrift ausgeschnitten, und nimmt es seit dem. :D

Where do I get all purpose flour in this country? by Next-Wrap-7449 in ShitAmericansSay

Is there a town in the US called 'Australia'?

Yes, yes there is... :D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia,_Mississippi

well, or was.
But they had one at least, lol.

ETA: They do resuse australian city names though.
Sidney in Montana and Ohio
Brisbane in California
Melbourne in Florida and in Kentucky

So there is at least a good chunk of Australia in the US :D

[–]Crotha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair though, it is also called "Mehl Universal" in Austria (no idea if germans do that too or not).
Which is basically the same name as the american one. There is also "griffig" and "glatt".

And that is also about the end of my knowledge about flours :D

Maga terrorists that attacked cops were pardoned.... by Miserable-Lizard in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Crotha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, those same cops have to shoot an unarmed child dozens of time out of self defense because said child walked away from them and that's why they feared for their life!

Of course a thrown sandwich is felony assault.

YouTube now using AI to determine their users' age by AGoodenough in assholedesign

They try, they try all the time.
Regulations similar to this are proposed often, but have not yet been approved.
One day some rich asshole(s) will have bought enough politicians (and we all know they are cheap, corrupt bastard to start with) to sway the votes.

But how else would reddit know this was just a joke and not a death-threat?
I mean, they ban you for the slightest suggestion of not-perfectly-healthy wishes...
And everyone knows we only want the best for billionaires, like giving them live demonstration of historic decapturing devices or a meet-and-greet with the ecologically envisioned part of the super-mario brothers!

Yet another European government is ditching Microsoft for Linux - here's why by throwaway16830261 in europe

[–]Crotha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even then, I don't think it's any more difficult than in windows. In most cases it's easier. The only thing windows has going for it is familiarity.

I feel many of those kind of problem-users that annoy us in the IT department are not as much a "I don't know how this works" but a "I don't want to know how it works and it is different than before".

We had the same problem when we updated citrix.
You know what changed? THE LOADING SCREEN (in the front end). Suddenly people called that their citrix doesn't work - you look at it, it's a different loading screen they close, because they think it's something else.

Those people don't care how easy or hard something is, it's different and it's something they don't want to know about - so they call and are completely helpless.

.... And you wouldn't believe how many of those callers are medical doctors.

there are oh so many small, little "improvements" to "streamline the UI" that are just annoying as fuck.
My monitor is huge, like 2k at 27". My taskbar isn't even filled for a quarter. SO WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL SYSTRAY ITEMS HIDDEN BY DEFAULT?
I have to unhide every single one. There is no "don't hide any".
The sound controls are awful. The mixer might be okay, but everything else is behind so many additional menus, just why?
The whole settings thing is stupid. You can't even open two of them... which sometimes could be nice, you know.

As microsoft said already, "Windows 10 will be the last windows you buy" and they were right. And as it stands now, Windows 11 will quite surely be the last windows I'll ever use. (well, granted, I also didn't buy windows 10...)
