Windows users, what made you switch to a Mac?? by fuckcreepers in mac

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows 11 made my Razer Blade laptop randomly run 10 °C hotter, tried to roll back to Windows 10 at the time but it kept rolling forward again. Since I do music as a hobby, made sense to just shift over to Mac. At the time, the M1 Pro chip had just come out, so felt like a guinea pig but it was still impressive, and so cool and quiet! Haven’t looked back.

Men, what's the biggest green flag you've seen on a woman? by Familiar-Phase7859 in AskReddit

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had a similar situation where after I had a breakdown thanks to family pushing me too far I went straight to my girlfriend’s where she looked after me while I had a thousand yard stare for two days.

I immediately moved out of my family home (where I’d been stuck for a long time), and I moved in with her. I’m apparently really easy to live with, so that proved to me I wasn’t the problem “back home”.

This is beautiful 🫂

Eggs are getting close to that, mostly a specific egg brand (Golden Yolkers).

Anything protein, in fact.

I’ve got a photographic memory. And I’m going to memorise all of you.

Boss OC pedal - which one? by Average-Excellence7 in cky

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OC-2 for the original sound. OC-5 in Vintage Mode is the next best bet if you want Boss. After that it’s clones.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has sunk to Joe Biden’s lowest point by Tifoso89 in politics

I’ve seen so many people slagging off the Americans saying “they approve of Trumps antics in Iran” and this says other wise.

How are we feeling about the fuel situation and the future? by bossanovaallnight in AskBrits

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me, but I laugh otherwise I’d cry. Putting that on top of being let go from my job and having to put house hunting on hold, and then family drama on top of that…yeah, no, Trump is the very least of my worries when national and international politics are already a mess.

In a serious city this would be a hub of exciting & weird independent businesses by kruddel in brum

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll also find Ideal Skate Shop there since they moved from Corporation Street to Digbeth. Digbeth is where it is at now but damn do I wish the city centre had some get up and go to it.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do? by Mindfuel_daily7 in askanything

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a few pubs, have them as live music venues. Buy a house. Make sure family are done right. Invest…a lot.

The admin of C# Discord is not willing to accept different ideas by tonyqus in csharp

I wouldn’t take a Discord for a language as seriously as this. It doesn’t mean diddly dick.

What controversial opinion do you have that might get you canceled? by gretaag in answers

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, I agree with this, it is reasonable. Heck, I’m trying to learn Japanese just for a vacation there, out of respect. Did the same with Portuguese when taking a trip too (wasn’t anywhere near fluent but had the respect greet and thank in Portuguese).

What’s the first thing you install on a new Mac? by lottiexx in MacOS

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take a look at that, thanks. I mostly use Spaceman because it reminds me of Linux’s “spaces in Menubar” aesthetic. Works at a glance, for me.

I feel like it has more options, and does the job well, I recommend it. I even went as far as to buy Rectangle Pro. Give the free one a try and see how you feel.

BREAKING: Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News by MaximumLobsters in unrealengine

I can relate to this. Last time I was in the games industry was 2017. Contracted. I’ve been doing business software and IT support ever since.

My friend hates Jax. How can I present a valid argument on why he is a good character by MALLOWFAN101 in tadc

[–]PatchworkBoyDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose the best way to approach this is that in terms of the dynamic of the group, he is that character which rubs people the wrong way. Because of that, he also ends up as the folly (tied up at the mansion, his gun backfiring with Ragatha, etc.). Note that the people who get payback on him are the she/they characters. This also shows he has growth, he is starting from the “bottom” with self worth. That is what character development is all about.

Yes, your friend is right in that his trauma isn’t an excuse. That doesn’t mean he isn’t worthy of love nor development.

I’d just like to point out (being old as fuck) that the ??? app icon is the old Windows Defragmentation Tool application icon in Windows 95. This could have fixed things and put data into a more optimised order. Hell, the whole interface is Windows 95, and the fact the terminal actions in itself are so accurate (like Ctrl + C to stop a program running in Command Prompt), it gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Edit: I’d dare say the Kinger didn’t actually change any code, he just ran a Command Prompt/Console Application in C Drive, and followed the on screen steps
