I never understood the argument of “if it’s not in the UI you may need to use a command to achieve it and it’s scary”.
On windows, if it’s not in the UI you have to use either a powershell command or update the registry to change it - which are both a very similar experience.
The only difference I actually see in this point is that Linux has a lot more options.
Chat control is absolutely going to work with some time, they can just propose it every week. It can afford to fail 100 times, it only needs to pass once - it’s not like these people run out of money. Depressing
The thing I’ve found best to get people talking is asking intentional questions. As in, ask a question that you expect an answer for which might allow you to deepen the conversation on the topic.
For a concrete example, imagine you meet someone taking photos in public and you talk to each other. Asking a question like “so you like photography then?” Is probably gonna get an answer like “yeah sure”, unless the other person is keen to provide you more details. Instead, asking a question like “what is your favourite photo you ever took?” Or “what kind of photos do you enjoy taking most?” Helps the other person give a concrete answer with some prompt for detail. From the answer, you can then pick what is the part you find most interesting or most likely to be able to talk about and ask another question with the same mindset.
Hopefully they’ll also ask you something in return. If they don’t, you can attempt to share something voluntarily that’s on topic, but if they don’t engage at all it may just mean they don’t want to talk to you. In which case, end the interaction on your terms while it’s still positive and count it as a win.
The fact that he didn’t do it by himself tells you he did not wear it with any previous partners who didn’t make him. So yes, that puts his likelihood of STD rather high.
You were 100% right to make him wear one.
Thank you for the succinct answer!
Do these lawsuits backfire if the ones suing lose? Cuz this is very clearly not on valve to sort but the games. I’m guessing they are hoping to strike gold with 1 lawsuit as opposed to having to go after the game developers individually, who may just stop using their work in the future which valve can’t do… because they don’t use their work already.
But is it just a case you made lawsuit you lost, oh well some lawyer fees and it’s over? Or do they have to pay valve for wasting their time and their legal expenses too?
So… you are familiar with the windows 3rd party programs to use, but not the Linux ones?
That would certainly apply the other way around as well, so is that a barrier to entry to windows too then?
