So, if I were to try to convince you just how wrong you are, what I would do is start with a React project that uses React-Router v7 with the data routers, including the `loader`. That one thing alone, even above and beyond what others are saying about React Query, just blows the whole complexity of API communication out of the water.

And then, if you are doing anything full stack or have a middleware/backend-for-frontend, for god's sake, look into tRPC and let your mind be blown.

Putting these two together, in a simple vite project (no full stack "framework" needed"), it will seriously just change the way you look at data, loading, and API interactions.

It just feels somewhat like the OP's problems with React are all skill issues and a lack of desire to explore and learn correctly.

In the dev environment we had custom videos uploaded, and I often uploaded my own. Nice kittens and puppy videos and such. Still, the mindgeek office life was mostly the same as any office, except for the porn on half the screens.

As with anything else at one point you get desensitized by the same content, since it was all test data and not live production stuff, it didn't get updated often.

I've worked for Mindgeek in the past (left 2 years ago) and still had friends working there. Many dozens of employees were locked out of their accounts this morning, none of them knowing what the hell was going on. A personal friend of mind had to wait until 2pm to get a call from HR finally telling him the news, even though it had been so long that the media were already aware of the fact.

I still remember when Feras was on stage at a town hall meeting 2ish years ago telling us that the company wasn't going to do any RRSP matches to the employees because we were "too young to think about retirement", all the while driving around his bright yellow Porsche Cayenne and getting his 19 million dollar mansion built.

Considering they were still reeling from Visa and MC cutting off their service and having to rely on cryptocurrency for payment, it's no surprise to me that now that crypto is failing hard, the value of those payments is vastly reduced and so is, probably, existing cash that was still in the crypto space.

I'm not sure if anything changed in a day, but I'm not getting that result at all (in fact, I'm not getting a "did you mean Chrome" either). The latter isn't explainable by me, but for the former... well, remember the search results are tailored to you (that's another pandora's box about echo chambers in itself) so perhaps you've been searching for more security-oriented things and that affects your results. In my case, the first page was mostly official Firefox links, wikipedia, and the very last result of the first page was "Google Just Gave 2 Billion Chrome Users A Reason To Switch To Firefox" so it doesn't seem like there's anything awry going on here.

We're sorry we didn't come up with it sooner, eh?

I'll need to echo some of the other comments here - at work we're pretty much stuck with Skype for Business (aka "lync") because the voice system ties into it. When I suggested Discord, it was shrugged off because it's "Chat for Gamers" and clearly they're not going to budge from that niche anytime soon, from all the recent features I've seen.

That's nice misinformation, mate. Discord makes money from Nitro, and they started off with a fairly large investor cushion which grew since launch.

There is nothing in the ToS that states in any way, shape, or form, that they can sell their data. I challenge you to quote the exact place where it says that.

Ironically, one of the reasons I'm extremely happy with my current bank is that it lets me save my password through Chrome on its online banking. Yes, I know that's no super secure (I'm not sure how Chrome's password manager is in regards to security), but it's just... so convenient!

About the last point about generating content, I think it's extremely likely that this leads us down the path of Voxels and Procedural Generation. Both those techniques together would help us at least get a starting point for an environment that's generated from certain chosen parameters, and then the "least effort" becomes modifying that environment for your game needs.

I mean, if you can have a procedurally generated jungle with a huge mountain in the middle and a river cutting through the jungle, all you need to do really is to cut through the mountain for your secret underground base, create a couple of roads, camps and checkpoints and you've got a better remake of FarCry 1 (yeah I'm extrapolating of course but you get the idea).

There are already... kind of.

the Terrafugia and the Pal-V are both flying cars, though not very sexy I'll admit.

Personally I'm more than a little annoyed at their journal-type "quotes", especially because they put the quote directly under the paragraph they just quoted, so you're basically just reading the exact same sentence twice, one after the other. And they do this 9 times. It's just... horrible.

I foresee how the FPS aspect could come into play when dealing with pirates or aliens boarding the ship, for example. I hope he keeps that aspect of the game.

I'm very happy to see that those who got the games were able to keep them. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that maybe this was a marketing stunt, but Occam's Razor tells me it's just a mistake and they were a good sport about it.
