I've heard of people who have complained about trans people showing up in their dating feed, mixed in with the cis population, being labelled as "transphobes" and harassed, but good to know that we've overcome that.

I'm with you here, Neptune's definition seems to overspecify the extract from Oxford they presented.

If we boil stereotyping down to its core components, then it appears to simply be an instance of correlation using subjective and non-complete data: "This individual exerts traits a, b, and c, which means they are highly likely to also exert traits x, y, and z."

Or: "This individual is operating a car (unique trait/type of person), therefore their visibility and attention capacity are likely reduced or under strain (overgeneralization as driving might come natural to them, and fixed as I might assume that no one is a natural)."

^This is, of course, an oversimplification, as I'm going purely by Neptune's words and my own understanding, and have not looked up additional sources.

I had quite some beef with the tethered caps in the beginning when they didn't latch properly, but have since gotten used to them. That said:

• Cap on top -> Funny hat for nose!
• Cap on bottom -> Beard gets to take a moist nap.
• Cap on sides -> Mustache also gets to take a sip!

Obviously not much of a problem. I'd need to clean my facial hair either way if eating ice cream or other messy foods, but cap rotation might not be effective if your "face" sticks out 1-2cm from your mouth.

One could also attempt to rotate the cap in a way to achieve quantum tunneling, but I don't feel that I've achieved that level of "tethered cap proficiency" yet.

Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc.

Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(

And then links to a similar sounding but ultimately totally unrelated site.

Well, it was sadly not the original Tetris by Alexey Pajitnov for the IBM PC, but the NES version was indeed beat recently.

While accessibility always is nice, games are a kind of art, and art is not always for everyone.

Some games are made to be hard and even impossible to beat (Tetris till recently), so asking them for an easy mode is not unlike asking Rolex for a 10$ series, which would ultimately tarnish the brand's name.

I think its a bit of both.

Personally, I apparently focus (that's what it's called, right? Non native speaker here) slightly behind infinity, so I'll have to put a slight amount of effort into seeing clouds clearly. I can also focus on close objects, but if I read a book for about 5-60 minutes without my glasses I'll suffer a splitting headache, depending on how much time I've used inside recently.

I've found that I can do office work just fine using glasses, but after a few months I'll need to get stronger glasses as my eyes become worse. This resets if I spend a few days outside avoiding computers, books, and my glasses entirely.

I can usually watch TV just fine without glasses, but if I've been doing office work or just been mostly inside for about 2-3 months I'll need my computer glasses (tuned to focus at around 50-100cm) to watch the TV (located about 3 meters away). At this point, I usually also have to use my reading glasses for the computer, and I've got a special pair of glasses that I can use for reading in that specific case. I even start having problems driving longer routes.

In other words, I have ~~really~~ rather (I can still most tasks, just with a headache) bad eyesight during winter and spring, but usually have much better eyesight and barely need glasses during summer and fall.

I'm pretty sure it's more like

Junior dev: Got all the nice addons, RGB lighting, only uses dark theme, got all the stickers, works from either a café or moms basement.

VS Senior dev: Works on company standard issue hardware, barely customizes visuals (but got a script which makes a cup of coffee on the shared machine in exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds), works in shared office, has old rolling cabinet with unknown artifacts last touched 10+ years ago.

Obviously this is an overgeneralization and not a catch-all, you might even say that it's "programmer humor".

Stacked on top, and vertical orientation since we're not doing Java here!

Jup, most definitely!

I'd much rather have just one unhinged uncle at St. Martin's Day than having everybody come off as the unhinged uncle by lack of supervision of the LLMs talking in your place, making it seem like being unhinged is normal and thereby creating artificial peer pressure in a truly wicked exercise of laziness.

People who rely too heavily on autocorrect do already now cause misunderstandings by writing something they did not intend to.

I had a friend during uni who was dyslectic, and while the words in his messages were written proper you still had to guess the context from the randomly thrown together words he presented you with.

Now that we can correct not only a single word or roughly the structure of a sentence, but instead fabricate whole paragraphs and articles by providing a single sentence, I imagine we will see a stark increase in low-quality content, accidental false information, and easily preventable misunderstandings - More than we already have.
