Steam obsessed people always cry about the lack of “features” in other stores, as if a game store + launcher needs features other than being able to buy and launch games.

Hell, I don’t even want to launch games. Just let me buy and download an exe (oh yeah, GoG does that, which is why I use GoG whenever I can…)

This is a terrible take for a lot of climates.

Microsoft power toys has a utility for mass file renaming.

IT in Canada doesn’t pay that great, not compared to the salaries you see in the US at least.

It’s incredibly unaffordable in BC, Ontario, and Quebec. Maritimes and prairies are decently affordable.

Why have essays or interviews? In Canada, my application to university was simply my transcript.

They’re called C&C. I use them for making cages for my guinea pigs. There’s lots of options on Amazon, they’re somewhat universal.

Are you playing MP? I’ve never seen this but I would suspect it’s done loading and simply waiting for the other players

It’s weird because there’s lots of studies showing that tracking users’ interests isn’t even that much more effective than targeting based on the page content.

Whitelist and blacklist were indeed cancelled despite having no racial origin.

They implemented a feature that is only available in Chromium and not part of the web standards yet. It’s no different than websites that would only work on IE 20 years ago because of some proprietary Microsoft thing.
