No freaking way this was because of “feedback”. This was because the European Commission will keep escalating their fines if Google keeps at it with the monopoly bullshit.

I want to know who is behind these changes being proposed. This smells of corruption.


They are like viruses that kill their host. Mindless greed with no forecast or hindsight.


Isn’t there a version of win11 like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?
Gotta get that. All stripped, just the OS and security.


What do I look like, a guy who’s not lazy?


I don’t dislike linux, I dislike all the work people mention to me when I say I don’t use it because I’m as lazy as futurama’s lazy moon man. The response to that is usually a long list of taks they claim to be a very easy way to install Linux. I don’t care how hard or easy it is. I only do one thing. If I have to do two things, that’s too many things to do.
Call me when someone makes a distro that is as lazy as an android phone: press a button, all gets done on its own.


I was thinking that another exception would be those who open their eyes and leave it behind, but then they are no longer fascists. So you could say their old fascist self is essentially dead too.
So while I do prefer this method as some ex-fascists may turn into anti-fascist advocates, and we can always use more help against fascism, it still doesn’t really counter the adage.
I say it was a process of elimination.
In a world in which heroes like Superman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Doctor Fate exist, your city has to be freaking cursed to keep getting all those cases of mental illness and corruption, keeping the city from really ever improving.
Organizations like the League of Assassins and the Court of Owls alone wouldn’t cut it. Detective heroes would unravel their plans. Tech heroes would root their data out. Magical heroes would counter their spells, fast and strong heroes would weed out the thugs, henchmen, and mercenaries.
Eventually, it would get more under control, like Metropolis, Star City, Central City, or Keystone City.
They would need something so ingrained in the city that nobody can really ever remove it to get to the high levels of madness and crime you get in Gotham.
So at some point, a writer had to give up, throw their hands up in the air, and go “then… then… it’s freaking cursed!”
And then you watch the God/King of Cities talk with the avatar Gotham (Stormwatch #3), and it’s a freaking gargoyle talking about “the madness in me”, while Paris and Metropolis are just human-like women.


I think 12 may be too high. Most kids I’ve knew who acted like that were like 6.


Corporations can’t stand it a logarithmic graph. They need freaking geometric progressions, and then they do stuff that gets them an anti-logarithmic graph.


I got started using — because the golems in Guild Wars 2 speak in all caps and with em dashes between the words.
I had to copy-paste after doing Alt+0151 somewhere else when doing the joke when using a golem transformation tonic and SPEAKING—LIKE—THIS since Guild Wars 2 does not respond to numpad input, but Mac users have it easy, they can just press Option+Shift+dash.
On Windows, you would need a tool like PowerToys’ keyboard manager or a keyboard macro for that.


The only reason I even knew about him was because of people mocking him and denouncing his grifting and reprehensible ideology through memes.


I am yet to see any sign that the upper echelos of the Democratic party aren’t in on it.
Unfortunately, without a grassroots movement that has a way to guarantee that people will commit and vote for a third single-issue party that will actually change things without going into ideological divisions, and just fix the money in politics and electoral system and stuff like that, then declare elections again right away, things will not change.


I keep reading people complaining about how people are taking these quotes out of context.
So went to the source, and I see them in context.
They are actually worse in context.


Any internet service provider needs to be completely neutral. Not only in their actions, but also in their liability.
Same goes for other services like payment processors.
If companies that provide content-agnostic services are allowed to policy the content, that opens the door to really nasty stuff.
You can’t chop everyone’s arms to stop a few people from stealing.
If they think their services are being used in a reprehensible manner, what they need to do is alert the authorities, not act like vigilantes.


Firefox does run better when you disable all “ml.chat” settings.


Let’s say it like it is: after the world of hundreds of developers is undermined, and the property of thousands of customers is compromised.


This is what bombing those buildings in Fight Club was truly about!
The way to handle it is to find the “The Architects of Fear”, getting rid of them, and making sure no new ones take their place.
This is why I have always waited for the version that is just like the previous ones, but fixed. 3.11, 98SE, XP SP2, 7, 10…
I need to get a new computer, and it has to have windows, but I’m not getting freaking Win11. Gimme Win12.
