Do I teleport in during the day above ground? Then I'm definitely going to fall to my death.

Man, I really wanted to like this game, I love the setting, art, music, and overall aesthetics, but I'm having trouble finding the fun.

When I first heard about it, I was hoping it was basically a linear road down the coast, with a story to experience along the way (kinda like the boat/car sections of HL2). But then it turned out to be a repetitive grind. There are some mechanics I think are novel and add a lot of fun (ex. the Quirks system), but 90% of what I was doing in the game felt unfun and pointless so I could eventually return to the garage and do it all again.

I for one immediately accept this conclusion at face value.

Phew, from the title it wasn't clear what "unlock" meant. I thought they were trying to force carriers to backdoor everyone's phones and make the conents of any phone available upon request by law enforcement in a timely manner.

Yeah, but I would say it's less important that you can find a win-win solution, and more important to get in the mindset that advocating for your own interests is not the same as being selfish.

A lot of people fail at negotiating because they don't want to be seen as selfish, but especially when it comes to negotiating with a corporation, they're banking off of you feeling that way. Know your worth, and make sure you're fairly compensated.

On a related note, this is also the point of a union/collective bargaining and why companies hate them. They know that some people are better advocates for themselves than others, but they know that most people are bad at it. Divide and conquer.

Sure, yeah, I would say you should only trust stable, well refined filesystems as a daily driver. Which is why I was curious what set ext4 apart from the rest for you.

That's fine, I just consider that the absolute bare minimum for a FS to be usable.

This is an article I always reference for job offer negotiations, but the principles would apply to negotiation in general. The most important concept to understand is: you can split a pot between two parties in ways that result in both of you getting more of what you want.

I understand ext4 being dependable, but favorite? I'm curious what makes it your favorite.

I like having more ways to support the project, but I don't think "license" is the correct terminology they should use, unless they intend to release paid-only features which I'm not a fan of at all.
