1·21 days agoI first read of him in Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything (fantastic book). It really shows how awful this man was.
I also love this quote from the wiki article on his legacy -
He “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”.
Lol Heroes reference?
I have to deal with tons of app issues in work, from users of Samsung and Xiaomi. I would honestly never buy either brand.
They are both filled with proprietary garbage, you have to use workarounds to try and disable and even then, these two companies are some of the worst for simply ignoring the workarounds and overriding them.
8·1 month agoFun fact - In the film The Bodyguard, Whitney Houston plays a famous singer who’s being stalked and her new bodyguard, Kevin Costner’s character, brings her to one of his bars… a country n western place. They dance to the Dolly Parton song and this is kinda the start of their relationship and they fall in love.
Fast forward to the end, and Whitney Houston’s character decides to cover the song in a new album and goes on tour and it’s a massive hit.
Good film by the way, worth a watch even it’s a bit cheesy. The stalker guy is actually lowkey terrifying lol
The hubris lol… Oh the hubris!
“Who needs beta testing or early access, we made Anthem, this will be brilliant! Who needs a staff, we can run it with the bare minimum.”
Feel sad for all the devs who already lost their jobs a few weeks back n now these last few left but fuck that company! Thought they could simply profit off all the work from their staff by sacking them all immediately after release.
Sometimes companies do get exactly what they deserve.
