@electrineer Yup. I thought I was until I bumped into the new permission system. Good point.

@Demolishun Windows 10 is a whole another conversation at another time. That is pure bullshit too. Has a lot of good features, It is comfortable, but It's excessively resource thirsty and has a huge bunch of suspicious background processes.

@Demolishun I feel like that too. All I wanted to do is an app that my parents can use to control the time that my sister has to play on the phone. She's quite stubborn and does not listen when she's being told to put It down, so I decided that I will use my skills to toggle her phone between a brick and a phone with an app for dynamic time intervals. It seems like you can't do it without going really deep in the phone.

@frogstair It does the pop-ups for the general permissions. That's good, but android does not insist that you provide a reason and does not always display the reason in the prompt. The request itself is something I like much more on iOS.

@frogstair It just toggles. But I think that "Modify system settings" is quite a talking name. Also, that's why I say that the prompt message with a reason is a better way of doing things.

@frogstair That is true. It in fact does. But the user who reads "Modify system settings" and does not ask the reason of it, sure does deserve some lessons on cyber security in a world where we almost even breathe zeros and ones.

@frogstair I'm not saying that the protection is not reasonable. I think that the fact that I toggled the little switch in the deepest deep menu in app permissions (which only shows if you request the right permission, which could be easily controlled upon publishing) should make me able to do the things why It's there for. The problem is not the user protection. That is right and neccessary. The problem is that when I manually, willfully allow the phone to manage system settings, it spits in my face.

@Demolishun I think that the request permission with a prompt, provide a reason for the request and let the user decide way is much better. They are trying to protect users by crippling developers. It starts to look like iOS will have a better permission system... and I hate iOS permission system.

@frogstair The application has been given access manually to the system settings. I'll look more into it under accessibility name.

@C0D4 Thank you! I'll definitely try.

@NotWhoIUsedToBe True. I didn't pay enough attention while reading comments.

It's not a bad thing to use a better password, that's true. BUT Windows is a bit too much. Like you can't turn off it's built in anti-virus which does nothing except using 30% of your CPU all the time and blocking a ton of shit which shouldn't be blocked...

You're just not smart enough to understand this. Typical at mortal individuals.

But for real... WTF?

Do both

++ for the interesting controversial topic.

I could not disagree more. The article itself begins with conditional statements. Games' effects on behaviour totally depends on the individual itself. Some people tend to pick up the bad parts, but most of them develop useful skills with them and completely or almost completely ignores the negative input. Shooter games like Call of Duty, Counter Strike or Battlefield help the development of reflexes, team communication and situational awareness. Battle Royale games help problem solving and decision making get better. Strategy games develop logical thinking, situational awareness, problem solving, management and decision making skills. Games like Sims make you more creative. Also games contain a huuge amount of useful knowledge that can be picked up.

My point is that saying games are harmful is bs. They can be harmful in case the individual playing them has the tendency for the negative things by default. On the other hand, they give pretty useful skills to use in real life.

I work on a laptop. There was a month straight that it hasn't been shut down just sent to sleep. I mostly work on the train while commuting and It's boot time would be easily the quarter of the travel time, so I just send it to sleep.

@Hazarth it would be serious betrayal if not

Living with a brother who chews in an excessively loud way....

@AdrianScrub prove it 😂

Same case here :D Have absolutely no knowledge about that. I just know how it sounds and I know I need it :D

For the scottish accent part I totally agree. However in this world decalring the gender of a programming language could lead to some sirious court cases...

Looks cool. The keyboard would be a pain in the ass for me, since It looks like it does not have a good feedback when you press a button. Also I'd be upset AF if I had that little space for my mouse especially with 3 screens.

@bioDan Thank you! I'll look into that!

@12bitfloat I like it tbh. Didn't have any problems 'till installing yarn. I removed that shit since then, but It messed up everything and not a single thing works now.
