My view is that if we can’t have the things we want without ads, then we need a new business model. I’m not super into the whole kindness and donations model. If we need it to be state funded, so be it.

Why would anyone use a desktop? That’s like a baby’s toy!

Yeah I mean, I have a hard time being too sympathetic to people who unnecessarily sold their company. There is no reason to do it. If you need money, you can always get investors to get a minor stake or something.

That’s the same person. I think they’re teasing you for not realizing that. They could also be teasing you for automatically gendering them too.

When I’m dictator, any country that does something like this will be carpet bombed.

You do not have to use the command line to use most Linux distros. I think it’s a good idea to learn, but it’s no longer a necessity.

1000% they are out there. Thank fucking Satan they don’t dominate certain spaces the way they used to! I always kept a lot of tech at arm’s length because I wasn’t capable of having a knock down drag out fight every time I formed even the mildest of opinion on a feature or something.

I’m sorry to put this so bluntly, but technical people are some of the dumbest human beings on planet earth.

I appreciate your earnest answer. I hope that it’s organic and legitimate growth on his part. My fear is that he simply decided not to pursue right wing stupidity openly. I seriously want to be wrong about that, but not everyone leans into the right wing lunatic grift economy and all that.

USB-C is just the connector type, not a particular speed.

What would sweeten it if it didn’t have added sugars? I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re saying.

Since the traitors actually cut funding for transgenic scientific study because they don’t know what trans means, this is in the realm of realistic. That’s where we’re at.

They confirmed it was an error and indeed meant homelander—you were right. They corrected it. FYI.

I’m sorry you’re growing up with this nonsense.

I’m sure there’s some truth in there, but it is hard to believe it entirely. This is what you get for unnecessarily selling your company.

This is extremely interesting and illuminating. The kind of thing I’ve been interested in my whole adult life.

I love JustWatch. Gets you the exact info you’re looking for pronto.

Not to defend Netflix, but it did seem to me like the degradation and price hikes were a result of the other companies cutting in. I have no particular love for Netflix, but I didn’t perceive it to be like that until after external threat. Maybe I’m wrong.

Even though you gave me reddit lowbar, I’ll reply in earnest. Some of the great progress that was made on reddit was things like banning images of text, banning shower thoughts like “this water is warm”, and greatly limiting low effort garbage commenting and bot spam.

Why is this sub committed to undoing all of the good work that was done on reddit? This should not be a screenshot.

Yep, Noam Chomsky calls Nixon the last liberal president and he’s right. Carter was only at the beginning of the post New Deal reforms, so he wasn’t a full on demon like later traitors, but his record is clear.
