True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it’s more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.

Well from my perspective it’s not that people hate California it’s that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it’s near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it’s the tenth largest city in the US. It’s not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.

Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don’t mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it’s basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it’s not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It’s the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it’s somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.

If you’ve ever met old timers in Texas you know great don’t like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that’s where I assume most of the hate comes from.

Speaking of which whatever happened to FuchsiaOS? Did they kill it? It would be a shame if they did. I was interested in it because it was an open source OS that wasn’t Linux or bsd based.

I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it’s closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn’t understand the hype but I get it now. I’m holding out for an app with multireddit though. That’s the one feature I really want.

Flatpacks give me the least trouble so I guess those. All though appimages seem alright too. Snaps however seem to never want to install. I like the idea of easy one click installs for every distro but I think we are a few years away from that.

When they first announced backwards compatibility the only thing I wanted was ninja gaiden black and 2. I’m glad both are on there.

If this picture is legit then it’s just a confusing rebrand. You now have 2 plans both about 10 dollars but one can’t use multiplayer and one has a much smaller selection of games. That’s confusing and lame imo. They should merge them into one.

I can’t remember the worst movie I’ve seen at home. I’ve seen so many lol. The worst theater movie had to be the one missed call remake. I watched the original Japanese film later and realized the missed important plot points that were vital to the story. Also it was neutered from a R rated Takashi Miike film to a boring pg-13 horror film. On the bright side it introduced me to Takashi Miike and I’ve been a fan ever since.
