Anon thinks about Google
  • The way Gmail orders conversations/email chains makes it SO hard to figure who's reply to what and what the latest email is. Each email in the chain contains the entire chain before it and you end up reading everything twice just to work out what the hell is going on.

  • These Are the Rules of the CNN Presidential Debate
  • You know how you have to prepare your house when someone is bringing their kids over (especially if you don't have kids of your own) ? That what this is. Things have got so bad that they have to bring in a bunch of new rules just so one adult can finish speaking without a other "adult" talking over them the whole time. Holy shit, this is what it has come to.

  • Everyday, as an American
  • I get SO frustrated when I see a date like 4/3/2024 and have to spend time trying to figure out if it's the 4th of March, or if some US company wrote the software I'm using and it has defaulted to silly format.

  • Uvalde families sue makers of AR-15, 'Call of Duty,' Meta over mass shooting
  • I would argue the issue isn't the existence or marketing of a product, rather how easy it is to procure, which I believe OP is saying. You can argue about how attractive the product is to people, or lack of mental health services until the end of time, but the real and very obvious problem (at least to those outside the US) is just how easy it is for most people to get a weapon capable of killing many with little to no valid reason, checks or training. From the outside this is seriously bonkers.

  • Video Game Execs Are Ruining Video Games
  • Right! Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of, then micromanaging brush strokes? That's the games-for-shareholders model, and it's fucked. Games are best when made by people who are passionate about the project, not solely about the profit. My big hope now is the publishers learn from the Sony debacle and simply publish the game, be happy with their profit cut, and shut the fuck up.

  • Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.
  • If they enforced it from day 1 then you're right, no one would have cared. At day 1 it would be upfront and everyone would know what they're getting and far fewer people would have bought it. Enforcing it at day 40 or whatever is not cool. I, along with many others by the sounds of it, was looking forward to finally buying this game and now I won't be. In general I am so fucking sick of good-sounding games coming along just for them to be fucked in one way or another, i.e., missing content, under developed/tested, broken promises, "we'll patch it later", etc.

  • How do you use Dropbox business?

    I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

    I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

    Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

    Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

    [DB]

    type = alias

    remote = Dropbox:/

    but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

    rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

    rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

    If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

    Can anyone explain the cost of Australia's C-130Js?

    Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
