I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don’t remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of “oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook… But what is it and how do I install it?” and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I’m not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really “just works”. I have had my share of frustrations, but it’s usually with stuff that’s comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don’t like that I’m giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don’t churn my own butter, I don’t build my own car, I don’t want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

“Women are the best, folks. Many people say that I hate women but I really don’t. Trust me when I say I love women’s rights. I love their right to dress sexy, I love their right to wear bikinis.”

If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself

This just means they’re a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

“It’s close. You can’t change Democrats’ minds no matter what. They’ve got a one-track mind, and that’s it,” he said.

Bridy called Trump a “working class guy like us.”

Am I reading The Onion or what?!

Tipping culture is broken. We should end the actual practice of tipping and bake tips into the actual prices of stuff.

“during whatever that was” 😂😂😂

They are killing it with their sass

Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn’t work as a loss leader because it’s so different from all other products.

at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we’ll all be living in a true dystopia

More government intervention in markets, because that’s what Republicans stand f- oh wait, er…

Whole party of fuckin weirdos.

Don’t forget that weird sofa dude was born as James Donald Bowman, and JD Vance is his preferred name.

Keep that in mind when he attacks people with preferred names and deadnames trans folks.

The best endorsement this poor guy can get is “he’s not that important anyway” 😂😂 Old Weirdo accidentally gave his running mate the sickest burn of them all lol

maybe we can tell the Iranians to go after Russians directly, and Russians to go after Iranians directly, and kill two birds with one stone?

And before someone comments about the ultra rich and their private planes, their emissions is basically nothing compared to the rest of air traffic.

Yes but it’s a hugely disproportionate amount for one person, how do people not get this?!

Using the same logic, i shouldn’t do anything about climate change myself, because everything I can personally do is basically nothing.

Historically, Israel shows a lot of willingness to make disproportionate trades to get their hostages back. Like, they’ll release 100+ enemy hostages to get one of their own back.

shadowbanning is a totally different issue that’s existed for a long time though.

This is really sad. Beautiful place too.

“The most secure system is a system that’s not live. Crowdstrike, bringing you the best-in-class security.”

1. Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they’re caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say “let’s find a solution that we’re both happy with, how about you rob me and don’t punch me?”

2. We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn’t informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on “users are too stupid to understand this”, means they’ve lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.
