And here I am, I don’t really like pop and I don’t really like metal but put them together and I’m in heaven.

And yet, what you wrote is coherent and what he wrote is not.

Showerthought: mf is mezzo-forte. ff shouldn’t be fortissimo, it should be fezzo-forte.

Ah yes, dihydrogen monoxide

If people are really dumb enough to eat this up, we’re fucked.

I’ve got some really bad news for you.

Trump is an asset too, or he has been historically. It makes me wonder what’s changed that Putin’s lesser proxies are having to go against the god-king. I seriously don’t know what’s up or down anymore.

Edit: I feel like this is all being wound up on purpose. I don’t know what the endgame is. None of it makes any fucking sense.

I came here to post a screed a bit like this, but you did it so eloquently I don’t have to, so thanks! A perfect take, imo.

Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you’ll do well to avoid it altogether. When I’m advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they’re on TV, they’re criminals, I promise you.

Yeah and of course, you can also just ram the thing into the ground. I’d hate to think this was a deliberate act, but it’s certainly possible.

So I know there has to be a reason why these switches are vitally important but doesn’t it seem weird that you can take a catastrophic action like turning the fuel supply off when you’re in mid-takeoff? If you try and put a modern car in reverse at 65 MPH, the car is like “haha no” and ignores you.

For me it’s because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here’s the thing: I don’t like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I’ve preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I’ve only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.

Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.

Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I’m out.

This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I’m there I eventually get struck with a “this isn’t real people” feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.

Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

I hope that’s a joke. Airpods could be a Fortune 500 company all on their own.

No, I was serious, although after looking into it, I am surprised that hardware makes up 72% of their income. Perhaps they could make up the 28% software revenue shortfall with innovative new hardware and still maintain that 3.06T market cap, eh?

Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.

I didn’t realize this either.

Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won’t allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can’t be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.

Apple will throw everything they’ve got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.

Man, it’s wild to see them go from one-child to this in a single generation.

Increasing the price of oil will increase the profits to Republican donors.

It also increases Russian profits. 🤔

I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

Ah, OK yeah that makes sense.
