So, the people you have in mind don’t believe in free will? Isn’t that kind of un-Christian?
And if they believe that humans don’t have free will, then what’s the point of all the “SINNERS!” and punishment and threats of hell and whatnot? None of us are in meaningful control of our actions, so trying to coerce us to change those actions obviously isn’t going to work.
Also, if we’re all inherently evil, then we’re all going to hell regardless, so this whole religion is kinda pointless, no?
Can’t confirm. When I was young and hanging out in online chat rooms, I regarded the others as real and experienced a full range of emotions toward them. They were my acquaintances, friends, crushes, or enemies. Definitely didn’t see them as NPCs. If I had, I would never have had such strong feelings about any of them.
But that’s just me. Others’ mileage may vary.

Lol who the hell thinks Inkscape isn’t professional? Inkscape is the damn gold standard for vector graphics editing.
I see no dragonslayers in this age. Only dragons and prey, and most of the prey worship and obey the dragons.

Not only the money, but also the rapid worldwide collapse of peaceful civilization. This is no place for an innocent child.
People are still getting married and having kids?
They want to stop NVIDIA chips from entering China? Good luck with that! China is where they manufacture the circuit boards containing those chips! Sure, you can halt the supply of NVIDIA chips to China, but not without putting NVIDIA out of business.
You’d think they’d love it if everyone worked from home, then. Don’t have to pay for office space at all if your employees are already paying for their offices.
That and you can decorate a cubicle. Individuality still exists in a cube farm. In an open floor, you may as well be a Borg.
Millennial here. I only briefly worked in a cubicle, when I was young, but I liked it as an environment. Not sure why the previous generation hated them so much.
Meanwhile, GNU Units can do that, reliably and consistently, on a freaking 486. 😂
What do humans do? Does the human brain have different sections for language processing and arithmetic?
I did say touch typing on a thumb keyboard is slower. I also said it’s far faster than what I can do on a (normal non-folding no-physical-keyboard) phone.
If you can touch type on your foldable phone’s touchscreen keyboard, where you can’t feel the boundaries between the keys, then I’m impressed. I didn’t think that was possible.
Comparing desktop and phone market share is iffy because a lot of people have both and I don’t believe there are any reliable statistics on the subject to use in our debate.
As for foldables, was it not your argument that you’d rather use one in place of a laptop? If it’s meant to be just a phone with a bigger screen, I guess that’s cool, but I’d still want to have a computer with a real keyboard and operating system available to me.

No, my desire for autonomy is showing. My Linux PC is my computer and it responds to my decree, as a certain hammy Skyrim character would put it. Android and iOS have the audacity to tell me what I’m allowed to do with my own device, which as far as I’m concerned makes them unserious.
You are of course welcome to disagree with my opinion.
My argument for convertible laptops is that, if you want a tablet for whatever reason, you can have your tablet without the downsides.

Not even the same ballpark. Typing accuracy with the Droid 3 keyboard is comparable to desktop. Speed is less with only two fingers instead of ten, but its speed × accuracy is still vastly superior to that of a touchscreen keyboard.
Touchscreens have zero tactile feedback. It’s a completely flat panel. Touch typing is impossible. Gesture typing is abysmally inaccurate. Hunt-and-peck is abysmally slow.
Yes, I would probably have liked your old Samsung. Looks pretty similar to my Droid 3.
Google Analytics reports how many people are using desktop, phone, or tablet on my site.
A Google search for “tablet vs phone vs desktop market share” yields similar results: tablet market share is very low (though not basically zero like on my site).
I could charitably call tablets a niche device, but seeing as convertible laptops do everything tablets do, have keyboards, and run serious non-toy operating systems, I don’t see any reason to be charitable.
The Droid 3 keyboard’s keys are larger than a touchscreen keyboard’s. You push them with your thumbs. If you can handle a Game Boy/DS/Switch, you can handle that keyboard.
Never used a BlackBerry. Their keyboards seem smaller (i.e. harder to use) than the Droid’s.
Does nobody like keyboards on phones? I don’t remember anybody surveying me.
Pretty ironic that you think I shouldn’t knock foldable phones before I try them, but you’re knocking physical keyboards without trying them.

Brilliant! I wish my #bank 's #ATM was like this!
Right now, I have to cover my PIN-entering hand with my other hand, and then do a whole bunch of fake button presses, in order to hopefully confuse any hidden cameras. Hopefully. Maybe. It’s absolutely maddening, and it probably isn’t actually secure because real button presses require more force than fake ones.
If only the keypad was randomized like this, entering my #PIN securely would be easy. 😭
