What we should do is put chainlink fence around the corner, but make the part that the users loved the most accessible with a monthly pass that they can only walk on with shoes purchased at the university store.

I remember when his tax “cut” first was experienced, there were a bunch of tiktoks on the fact that their taxes went up. A lot of “I didn’t vote for this!” Videos.

But they soon forgot.

His fans are like cats. Easily distracted, so long as someone else is getting hurt worse.

I think it’s a result of trying to get support right now so you don’t get stuck waiting for someone to up vote your question or having other questions push your thread further down.

I’ve been a victim of this myself and going to Discord seems to be better getting someone to actually help you, especially for niche questions.

I’m not saying I like it but I certainly get it.

Yup. They went full OG AdBlock and got WaPo and other major publications to prevent them from working.

You can mimic what they did by adding the Google Crawler user agent to your browser but I just use archive.is

Which, again, in a sane world, is really just one choice. This, quite frankly, is the only real bullet in the “both sides are the same” argument.

I’m not saying Harris isn’t qualified; she clearly is.

What I’m saying is that the Republicans have had years of making their base into good little soldiers that will vote R simply because they aren’t D.

These mouth breathers only see the letter after the name. I can’t tell you the number of times that voters came up to me when I was a poll worker and ask me who the “Republicans” were in a local election where the candidates can’t have party affiliations.

Why yes, these were often elderly voters. What made you guess that?

I’m seeing more sites now not even providing the option to click “no”. I can’t remember the company that provided this library but I feel like any hackers (ahem you assholes who are hacking the IA) want to do some good, they need to be taken down a peg.

It seems to be the same company. If I find it I’ll update this comment.

Or it’s just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.

It just makes no fucking sense to have that much money.

I’m haunted by a line from Silicon Valley. Rich people use money to keep score.

The only reason they get to say “you’ll understand when you’re older” is because they have something to protect as they got older.

In other words, they got theirs. And they don’t want to fucking share.

It’s a shit justification.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.

I’ve been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it’s terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what’s different about it from Win10?

I don’t see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.

I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

My company painted it as “We’re keeping the janitors and the cafeteria staff employeed!”

Which I get. But if you really cared that much, couldn’t you just…pay them to not come in?

Pied Pipper at it again.

Hunger is a political problem. We have the ability to deliver food to every person in the world.

We choose not to.

I touch type with fingers on the home row with a slight drive and my max is 110 wpm, average about 90.

I’m very impressed.

Exactly. Top of the screen should be at eye level.

This poster is terrible.

I could believe that a man could build a suit using arc energy technology. And I could believe that man could use that energy to kill aliens from outer space.

But I could not believe that same man would ever use Oracle Cloud for his compute.

Literally made Iron Man unwatchable.
