Fucking ass backwards country. It took 60 seconds to verify because McDonalds went over its unlimited internet cap, so the POS was throttled to 128bits/minute speed.
I moved from a 4th world country to a 3rd world country, and paying here takes 5 seconds with either chip + pin or contactless (takes 3 seconds if the amount is less than $20, in that case I don't even need pin nor anything).
Eat more burgers fatty mcfattyface, that double whopper will give you the triple chin you so desperately want.

>he doesn't have paypass
you just have to put the card next to the reader
no swiping or inserting
I have been using this for years now and can't say enough how hassle free and less time consuming is than regular cards
do you have this in USA too?

I mean, it wouldn't be so bad if somebody, ANYBODY at Linux knew how to create a user friendly interface. But it takes twice as much time to get the same work done in Linux as in Windows, and that is largely due to the obscure, unintuitive interfaces.
For the love of god, could autistic programmers stop designing GUI and let actual graphical designers do that job? That'd be great.

vlc works fine for me, be sure to have every codec you might need installed
also, dont accuse an OS for your incompetence

yea, explorer is so mu-- oh hang on
>video and audio players are subpar compared to Win programs
mpv is an excellent video player, don't play music much myself so i use mpv for that, too
>screen is tearing no matter what I do
worksforme
>VLC is absolute garbage that can't play anything properly
how is this related?
>somebody, ANYBODY at Linux

oh boy
>obscure, unintuitive interfaces.
aka, "interfaces that are different and that i'm not used to". a long time linux user could say the same thing about windows (bash scripting? sure, powershell? uhh...)
>For the love of god, could autistic programmers stop designing GUI and let actual graphical designers do that job? That'd be great.
yea, i also hate when the people who make something make that thing. if you thing you can do better, by all means do so and submit a pull request to have it implemented, until then, quit telling people who do this FOR FREE what they should and shouldn't do

Is wireless charging really all that worth it?
I'm thinking about getting a galaxy s7 just because it can support wireless charging.
I would really like to have an aluminum phone, but..

getting a phone just for the wireless charging would be retarded.

Not really the only reason I was going to get one, but I just really want the wireless charging cuz its 2k16

Its fucking great, but the connectors get fucked up real quick on my phone after some months of docking.
ok, I fucked up, I went to a porn site and I disabled adblocker, now when I turn on my pc, this happens. ANY kind of browser that's set main to my pc loads up this page.
This is the second time, this has happened to me. I don't remember what I did the first time tho fix this. Is this malware or am I in some kind of a botnet?

I use Windows and I've never paid for software.
Piracy makes everything free software.
Why support inferior SJW Communist software when you could be supporting pirates who are the real good guys fighting the good fight.?

Yes and no.
It's a real thing and it can be used in some occasions to make the picture subjectively better.
It's not some good/bad switch where you just use it in any picture to make it better.

Is there any good software for developing Javascript Software?
Currently im using Eclipse for writing and then copy pasting it into Sublime and saving the file for opening it in Chrome.
Eclipse because of its syntax check which is needed for retarded languages like javascript
>inb4 some butthurt faggot starts screaming about how his shitty thinkpad cant run Eclipse and therefor no one should use IDEs

Vscode with node extension. What really puts me off from working on js at any real level is the lack of a ide debugger with support for breakpoints and shit.

Webstorm

>>56172436
Atom is good at parsing JavaScript projects but it's very slow even on modern hardware.
JetBrains WebStorm is decent but non-free, proprietary and as such evil and it should be burned at the stake.
Sublime is also non-free and unacceptable.

Ok so now that Firefox is nothing more than a shadow of it's former self I'm looking for a good replacement browser. Preferably a Firefox fork so that I can still use all my add-ons.
What browser do you use and why?

If you are running on GNU/Linux use Abrowser, it's a pretty well updated free and open fork without all the BS from the vanilla FF project.

Why has technology embraced homophiles so much? I'm almost ashamed to admit that I like computers, because their mind automatically drifts to the idea that I like to sodomize my fellow man in my spare time. How can we work to kill, or at least discourage homophiles in tech?
