I got a Mac mini and was very positively surprised that it still ran the older version. I can use the size setting I'm comfortable with in the display menu. When I use Tahoe, I need to make the setting smaller to have a reasonable amount of apps open, but then it's uncomfortable to read.
Bit of a tangent: Not sure if it's because I grew up with other games, but somehow the aesthetics of modern games just seems off to me. That being said, I didn't manage to get back into SimCity gameplay.
Sounds like a win to me, you can leave more for productive activity to grow and attract more, there less incentive for illegal gambling, and no one is forced to do it.
If there’s a massive burden with addicts, you can still impose that the gambling industry pays more to offset.
This logic always bugs me because no one truly lives in a vacuum. People are flawed and generally need help from a community. A small community can't really fight back a well endowed company like gambling companies. The whole(stated) reason android is losing unsigned side loading is because grandmas in SEA are sideloading gambling apps.
It's obvious to me that gambling is generally a vulnerability in the human psyche. For many, it short circuits something in their brain and forms genuine addiction.
It's actually insane to me to use this vulnerability as a tax base to fund roads and schools, because regardless of the funds, your incentives will still be perverse and those incentives will dictate that more people need to be losing their money to out-of-state firms because a small portion of it might fund roads and schools.
The incentives basically state: "A percentage of our population must become sick and addicted to risk and reward in order for society to function". Is this not basically the concept of Omelas?
I read the Omelas story differently but maybe is the same. It's just a predatory dominance play. Some people get the dopamine hit from dominance, so for them it is a double win- their stuff is funded by others and it is the "weakness" of others (perceived by the dominant) that produces the funding. Having and eating the cake, etc.
I'd have to look for it. At the very least, the pilot program is happening there, and I've read on here it's a big scam to have sideloaded gambling apps take people's life savings.
The goal of the governement is to facilitate conditions where as many people as possible are happy, safe and healthy.
The economy of a state is in service of that goal, not the other way around.
Would it make a difference if you compile the whole system vs. just the programs you want optimized?
As in, are there any common libraries or parts of the system that typically slow things down, or was this more targeting a time when hardware was more limited so improving all would have made things feel faster in general.
I mean, has Microsoft? Last two places I've worked at are in the Office ecosystem and it's incredibly bad. I need to reconcile documents all the time like it's 2005, sharing takes 15 clicks (which is why it's a massive pain to get Sharepoint AI ready, since everyone just shares with all rather than specifying with who to specifically).
Also super annoying if you haven’t set up email on a device (like my iPad), now I have back and forth with my phone instead of going through my password manager.
Annual admin costs very much depend on how complex the business is, no?
The primary recurring obligation for a UG is the mandatory retention of 25% of annual net profits until the share capital reaches €25k, enabling tax-neutral conversion to a GmbH.
What I could think of for UG with idea on converting to GmbH, you could have:
- UG setup cost (fairly low compared to GmbH)
- UG/GmbH accounting & tax compliance
- Commercial register updates
- Notary fees for structural changes, and eventually the conversion process
Not sure if this is nostalgia: What I don't get with modern games, at least on the most likely device I could be using for gaming - the iPad - is how ugly they are.
Even AoE and Settlers (both preferably in the second edition) look soooo much better to me than most of the games I can find, they look just strange, both the remakes from "brand name" studios and a lot of the smaller games like you'd find on Apple Arcade.
I’ve had quite a hard time compared to setting up my router with opnsense, but I do get how challenging it is to offer something that lets you configure everything on just about any device.
It would be quite hard getting sane defaults for all sorts of configs, e.g. multi AP setup as in my case.
