I always do that Neo dodge, but we all know how that ended.

Mostly, people with friends.

Wtf is “whatnot”? How is it amongst such well-known stuff (except Instructure, too, I guess)?

People do be different.

Anybody would be in a bad mood that they have a torture appointment and then very happy that it’s over.

We could use any other torture method just as effectively.

Wait… people get dopamine from exercise?!

The one who’s hard to understand is you, with your complete lack of punctuation. “/s” is extremely common and pretty much everybody understands what it means. If you didn’t know until now, no biggie, now you do and all is well.

And to answer your question, if a comment or a paragraph ends with an “/s”, then you can be sure the author was being sarcastic in that comment/paragraph.
If there’s no indicator, it could still be sarcastic or it could be serious, use your own judgement.

So no, not everything should be taken as sarcasm.

Well, first of all, it’s old people slang at this point.

And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

“/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

I’m pretty sure most regular users will not even notice the charge, and find it useful down the line. Cause one day they will mess something up, complain to MS that they “lost their work”, will be pointed to the cloud where everything was synced, and rejoice. Most users don’t really care about the implications that their documents are in the cloud.

Daddy and Napal Baji are even better songs, IMO. But like all PSY songs, are better experienced as MVs.

They aren’t trying to prevent regular people from using unlicensed Windows, it’s mostly for corporations. As mentioned before, they are better off letting ppl use it and gather data and stuff. Keep people dependent on the OS.

Some features and settings. Like, for example any desktop customization.

What they mean is that it’s like WinRAR, you can use it without a license forever, but you’ll have features locked and get constantly nagged to purchase license.

I’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.

Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.
