This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.

Security updates in newer OSes and app incompatibility with older OS versions.

I mean, even as a sexual person, when you stop and think about it, it is indeed gross.

But my reptilian brain craves it. And my logical brain just doesn’t give a fuck anymore about how it looks like. I mean, I change diapers full of shit and piss every day and I’ve seen my two children be born in an ungodly amount of juices. My threshold for being grossed out has become a lot higher.

Even though Facebook is a terrible inhumane corporation, they have the best product because it is lightweight, can be used without any base station and can be used without a pc-link.

The fact that a VR set requires at minimum a 5x5 feets space with a computer within the vicinity is definitely hurting the VR market.

So I just hope that we get something akin to the Quest but without the evil corporation bit.

When I played Elite Dangerous with a VR headset, man was it magical. But I won’t dedicate a small room and a PC just for that experience.

You got some serious reading comprehension issues. I am talking about you.

“akchually, there wasn’t enough racist comments”. One racist comment is too much.

That VC money was the start of the end. No reassurance can be trusted the moment a company accepts VC funding. It’s only a matter of time until Bitwarden makes their next enshittification move.

The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

We’ve seen this move over and over.

Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.

Yes, but not by another mega corpo that tries to get into everything.

I mean, the real problem is that Alphabet and Apple should be dismantled in littles companies by anti-trust laws. Adding another third big player will only add another corpo to the duopoly.

I like Steam because they are more upfront about what you get when you “buy” a game, but I don’t want Steam to become a mega corpo that has tentacles in every technological industries just like Google or Microsoft.

They still are a company first and foremost, and Gaben isn’t eternal. Their attitude can change as fast as getting a new CEO when Gaben steps down.

Nothing good comes out of a mega corpo getting bigger, and we have many examples of that.

Using Windows is terrible right now, but we’ve spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.

When you switch to Linux, it’s a different OS altogether, and that’s not counting the different flavors.

So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).

Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX “seamless” that people aren’t used to fiddling with the computer anymore.

Because I highly doubt the person isn’t just saying " I don’t work here".

Either way, the point still stand. Customer shouldn’t be dicks to people doing their job as directed by Walmart and go shop elsewhere.

Either way, be angry at the corporation, not the wage slave.

I mean, both are right. Clients shouldn’t have to do the cashier job.

But clients should stop going there to send a message instead of harassing the minimum salary employee.

VC funding is basically gambling, trying to find the next billion dollar company. So they throw money at anything that has any semblance of traction to get in early and cash out when the time comes.

This is my grandpa time, but I love Cinnamon for the less modern UI.

The new UI won’t bother me a cent, but I really disliked KDE for no apparent reason, and Cinnamon hit right what I like about a UI.

I understand that a lot of things can be customized, but I am talking about OoB experience.

People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.

At one point, if you explicitly put your body on social media, multiple time, on multiple platforms, that’s kind of the expected behaviour no?

Sometimes, i wanna watch porn and sometimes I want to look at women that I find attractive. Does that mean that I have to exclusively watch someone my age?

I much prefer looking at women my age, but let’s be real, the older I get, the less I see them on social media.

Did that work?

The tenants literally pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance in their rent payment. When any of these inflates, so does the rent unless there are protections in place.

So being a landlord means someone else pays the mortgage for your unit.

The only thing that could be seen as a service are short term rental, and even then, it was abused to death by the AirBnB/VRBO and any other short term rental service.

Rent seeking is the most capitalistic thing someone can do : you use your money to get someone else to pay your rent. You do the minimal maintenance that you can get away with, and when you actually do real maintenance, your tenants get a rent hike.

If there weren’t any landlord, there would still be housing. But a lot more people would own the place they live in, at a reasonable price, instead of housing being used as an investment vehicule.

Makes sense. Posix was created a long time ago and there are most probably some features that could be changed
