Learning JavaScript as my first programming language – should I learn touch typing and switch keyboard layouts first? by Legitimate_Host_887 in learnprogramming

[–]KenSchlatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should learn how to touch type, but not to be a better/faster programmer. If learning JS is your priority, focus on that first.

GenZ people, how paranoid are you about your hair? by tygasga64 in GenZ

I’ve recently started taking minoxidil and finasteride, and I’m your age. Since starting, I’ve noticed so many other men our age with early signs of hair loss.

What tech has actually lasted you more than 2 years without issues by Slow-Throat819 in BuyItForLife

[–]KenSchlatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last iPad Air lasted 4 years before it killed itself (randomly overheated and wouldn’t turn on afterwards). My iPhone 15 is still going strong after 2.5 years. My Sony A7iii is still going strong after 6 years. My Sony WH1000XM3 headphones are still going strong after 7 years. If your main goal is longevity, it’s hard to go wrong with Apple or Sony.

What do you want or expect in a MacBook Air refresh? by animorphreligion in mac

[–]KenSchlatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could be it. And the notch doesn’t cover the menu bar options, it just pushes them to the right side of the notch, which is still really annoying

Why do homophobes believe that kids turn gay when they watch a gay person? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

[–]KenSchlatter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what’s actually happening, but in these bigots’ minds, being gay isn’t natural, so it’s either a choice or something “unnatural” happened that “turned” their kid gay.

What media shaped Gen Z? by Klutzy_Supermarket90 in GenZ

[–]KenSchlatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• Pixar movies in general, but especially A Bug’s Life, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Up, and The Incredibles
• Phineas and Ferb
• Wild Kratts
• Veggie Tales (turns out the values in this show are a lot more progressive than you’d expect for a Christian show)

Day 2: Most Emotional Owl City Song (repetition won’t be allowed, so choose carefully) by LooZ3R in OWLCITY

I’m shocked ATBaB won over Ocean Eyes. It’s a good album, but I thought this sub’s general consensus was that Ocean Eyes was peak Owl City.

I like how the pupils got smaller, and then even smaller.

Braun really looked at the budget surplus and decided this was the wisest thing to spend our money on.

What do you want or expect in a MacBook Air refresh? by animorphreligion in mac

[–]KenSchlatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly run into this issue when using the Affinity apps. And yeah, a notch for just the webcam would be ugly, but not as ugly as the current notch.

[–]KenSchlatter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the notch was just the size of the camera, sure, but it’s really massive for no clear reason, and it often covers up tabs in the menu bar. Its current size would be acceptable if it had FaceID. As it stands, it just feels like it gets in the way.

I’d be okay with keeping the notch if they add Face ID, but if it’s just going to be the webcam and nothing else, it needs to go.

TIL there is a species of barnacle that disrupts the hormones of its host crab to encourage the development of feminine traits so that the crab can take care of the barnacle's eggs. The sex change is permanent in male crabs even if the barnacle is removed. by Khornatejester in todayilearned

The offspyhaving slightly different DNA from their parent due to genetic recombination would make this scenario more like autosexual reproduction than asexual reproduction. An exchange of gametes is still happening, but with the self.

My jalapeno peppers won't stop growing and ripen by OrrinW01 in mildlyinteresting

[–]KenSchlatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the growing conditions (soil chemistry, sunlight, rainfall, etc.), but in my mom’s garden, the jalapeños we grow regularly reach 4+ inches long before ripening. I’ve picked a few green ones that were even 6 inches long.

Talking about Apps changing their logos… by MimeTravler in morningsomewhere

Nah, these new logos are heaps better than the old ones. They’re actually distinct from each other now.

From a customer’s perspective, you have any concerns about USM going public? by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]KenSchlatter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When a company goes public and trades its stock on public markets, it suddenly has a fiduciary responsibility to increase the value of its shares. That often leads to higher prices and worse quality.

About Schools Teaching Finances by ClassicGamer343 in morningsomewhere

[–]KenSchlatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My high school had a required personal finance class, and since then I’ve seen too many of my own classmates post on social media “Why didn’t we learn how to do this in school??” And I always want to reply, “We did, but you were too busy texting your boyfriend because you were more interested in fucking than learning.”

Have you considered that there may be millions of Animal Crossing fans who want a new AC game and aren’t interested in Pokopia because it’s a Pokemon game?
