  • In game micro transactions, all kids play Roblox and most games in Roblox require kids to spend money to partake in the activities of the server. And the currency is their own robux, which goes to the developers who made the game-modds.Roblox by it self is not a game, more of a platform to make games.

    The developers can then withdraw their robux to real corrency but they take a 40% fee for that.

    I’m not well vested in Roblox at all, but I know teachers and people who have middle aged kids, all of them are playing Roblox (the kids that is). On their ipads or computers, and parents buy them in-game currency to basically shut them up.

    Take this with a huge grain of salt, because I’m going on hear-say, but that is the gist of it. Kids buy robux to play Roblox.






  • Yes but who cares, it works and that is all that matter.

    If you would see my dotfiles, you would see a lot of unnecessary shit, because I don’t write them to be perfect, I write something when I realize this would be nice in the moment, and I just do it as I know how to and just leave it, as long as it works.

    Actually telling like it is, gets you down voted. I mean I’m not a fan of republicans at all, but to think that Obama isn’t bought is super fucking weird.

    He basically gave you the shitty version of single payer healthcare, so that the Health insurance could still profit on the backs of Americans, he had the chance to give you universal healthcare (there were massive demands and protests). In his words, the american way is to get health insurance through your job.



  • Using the latest Ubuntu lts is company policy if you want to use Linux. All support for x11 is removed from gnome, you can’t even change x11 anymore. I switch workspaces all the time, like web browser in one, dev env and terminal, so constantly switching, 50% of the time it will miss the key up event from your keyboard and it’s registering that you are holding the key down.

    Gnome randomly crashes, for instance sometimes clicking on a link that someone sent you, just randomly crashes gnomes, happened yesterday. So all the processes you started via gnome is gone, you need to reopen all your tools again, happens at least 6 times a week.

    Sometimes gdm doesn’t work, so you can’t login, you have to open another tty and reset gdm in the other session. It’s so bad, never had these issues before in x11, sure there were bugs, but not annoying bugs.

    Driver issues or not, it’s annoying as fuck. Gnome developers (redhat or whoever sells support for gnome) implementing the display server, gg.

    The gnome implementation that I’m forced to use is god damn awful. This whole eventbus implementation is so bad, it misses events and doesn’t always register key-up, when I’m switching workspaces. I do it a lot, and the key gets stuck spamming the same letter, because it didn’t register key up!! Hell sometimes it doesn’t register keydown, super annoying when writing passwords.

    Random crashes of gnome happens more often than I would like to admit, and all that you’ve been working on is gone aswell. What a garbage design, why the fuck should the wm own the processes, I swear the wayland people live on a another planet.

    And the whole permissions thing to ensure privacy, mf this is linux, stop making me do workarounds for shit that you won’t allow, because you haven’t implemented the correct support for it.

    I’m running Ubuntu 24.04, thing fucking sucks, I’m forced by work. Dude x11, just worked, like Wayland solved anything at all.
