Well that's good news, I was a little worried that it would be impossible to tell on mobile

weird because the keepass example, on chrome + android, looks exactly like a regular k in the address bar.

I wonder if some AMD folks did last week when their latest drivers caused players to get banned in counter strike haha

I highly doubt you'd be taken less seriously. Your degree is also close and relevant to programming from my experience, even if it doesn't directly give you a lot of coding experience.

I've worked with electrical engineers who went straight into programming after they graduated, and they were good. Where I'm from the engineering degrees always seemed a little more brutal than a regular comp sci degree. I notice those engineers have no issue learning anything new

That sounds odd, because how does your steam account even get banned? If you cheat in a game and get banned, your steam account isn't banned

If this thing was already in effect during that period, would you have been screwed over?

It's important to build skills with stimulants that you can still use while off them. Organizing, using calendars, stuff like that.

There was a point in my life where I was unable to function in society, and the stimulants did save me. I decided to slowly ween myself off of them since, and don't have any regrets about having taken them in the first place.

If I lost 5-10 years from my lifespan from taking stimulants, I still think it was worth it. Staying realistic about them was key for me.

Human reddit moderators already can't do that from my experience

Nova Scotia, Canada. We get hurricanes but they're not usually too bad. Not at risk of anything like earthquakes tornados etc

I'd even go as far as saying that I like steam, and that I would rather use it and have it exist than not.

Steam/valve also does a lot of things that everyone benefits from. Amazing controller support, Proton, etc.

Even some minor things like allowing p2p games to route through their servers so players IPs aren't shown to others

There are lots of PC exclusive games that are immensely popular, and I'd argue some of the most popular games in the world. csgo, valorant, league of legends, etc.

I think the reason why you won't see any big exclusives on PC is that because consoles are close to PCs, big games should be ported to console otherwise you're missing out on huge markets.

Beyond the live service type games I mentioned earlier, there's also a ton of smaller indie-AA type titles that are PC exclusive. Even that is dwindling down though since porting gets easier and easier for indie devs

I'm curious to know how your experience ending it today is like compared to before you started it. Do you feel like it's easier or harder to eat less compared to before your fast?

Does amazon ensure that team members are all based on a physical office location? At my work for instance we have a few members on my team from a different country, so forcing us to go in office wouldn't end zoom calls.
