As the owner of various cats over 50 years it does nothing to adult cats. It will hurt an adult cat because their weight is too much for the skin to hold. As a kid I tried it many times because I heard the myth and it only made my cat more angry.

I don’t believe kittens are affected other than being physically unable to do anything. Sort of like if you were put in a half-Nelson hold. You wouldn’t be catatonic, just unable to fight back.

So you’ll be doing 3x as much work on your right hand than with your left.

But vowels are extremely rarely repeated in English so splitting so it’s right hand vowel, left hand consonant, right hand vowel, etc keeps typing even.

Did you read the article you linked?

"More recent research shows that dopamine has less to do with the experience of pleasure and more to do with anticipating or craving something. "

“Create checks and balances for time spent in unhealthy behavior loops (e.g., social media scrolling, online shopping, online gambling).”

I didn’t claim it was pleasure but addiction like gambling.

, the design still holds value in basically spreading out the letters

The Qwerty legend is that it intentionally doesn’t spread out some letters to force typing to be slower so it wouldn’t jam.

Dvorak was created so that letters were actually distributed between hands based on letter frequency in English.

One difference I see is that unlike before, the older generations are also caught in the attention shortening dopamine trap.

It used to be parents complaining about kids watching TV while reading the newspaper. Now adults are watching 3 minute YouTube videos just like children.

It’s a soup spoon. It doesn’t seem that unusual. You aren’t supposed to stick the entire spoon in your mouth.

Again, no. In most businesses the hard to replace workers are not promoted because they can’t be replaced. The ones that can be replaced are the ones who are promoted to management.

Talent and experience isn’t that rare. Nor does executive compensation correlate with performance.

Another Thiel bloodboy in control of the government.

Not cassette futurism because it lacks buttons.

Roguelike games are named after Rogue, not Diablo.

All this talk of entitlement forgets that I paid for my fucking OS.

That doesn’t mean you get patches for the rest of your life. Again you are using a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support and you are acting like MS is evil for not giving you more.

Also, finally, if Microsoft really cared about their OS and licensing … so the massgrave exploit would stop working.

MS is evil because they don’t do more to stop piracy? Wtf?

Demand that a Linux developer must add a feature that you personally want and yes you are entitled. “I don’t want to upgrade Mint! Patch the old kernel. I demand it!”

MS is selling a security patch. Buy it or don’t.

Linux is available for free. Install it or don’t.

You don’t have a right to demand either way. It’s especially hypocritical given you spend more time on a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support like Windows 10 did.

You expect them to work for you for free? What kind of entitled bullshit is that?

Not paying for the 10 security updates doesn’t hurt MS. They don’t make money from their consumer OS. The money is from Office, Cloud, and corporate contracts. It only leaves your PC open. You don’t have the time to install Linux today but you will make the time to attempt to recover your Windows PC from ransomware because you left it unpatched.

Install Linux today. Stop making excuses.

Promoting MS products on the login screen of the OS you paid for is an ad.

I think you need to read it more carefully. He didn’t use a /s tag

It should be thrown out but Elon is Trump now and Trump will make sure his platforms are protected.

He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!

What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.

I expected him to be selling pirate Switches and/or games. Nope. They are suing him only for talking about it. Insane.

I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!
