Why you gotta call me out like that

I wholeheartedly agree that monopolistic practices should be nuked instantly, but I disagree that this was ever well enforced. Microsoft got away with murder in the 90’s before they went to court and even then, feels like they got a slap on the wrist…

I think that this particular case is very far from that, but it does start to smell the same.

You didnt think that was worth doing when you brought it up, so why would I. You sure put in the effort, 1-line man.

You seem to be struggling a bit, so let me help you out: the title does nothing to address the point that euromaida or whatever is not reputable.

Well sure, but where’s the fun in that? Eh eh

Thanks for the concern brother.

Good link thanks, let me book mark it if I ever need to waste someone’s time.

On your word?

“Starting early next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] will drop significantly,” Musk said. Musk said he’d continue to spend a day or two per week at DOGE, but said he will be “allocating far more of my time” to Tesla.

Tesla stock jumped 5% in after-hours trading after Musk’s disclosure.

Ah.

Sensationalism is the kind of red flags I run away from… Obviously the BBC have their own political slant, but I’m aware of it and can correct for that. Same when I read an article from something like Fox “News”.

But if you give me some unknown site of which I don’t know the background and more importantly, who’s funding it, then it’s useless to me and I’ll just add it to the bunch of misinformation machines I run into everyday.

Of course I can, look, I just did.

Can we have links to more reputable, known news sites please? Never heard of that one. Here’s the BBC.

Russia’s military blamed the blast on ammunition which had detonated after the storage building caught fire due to a “violation of safety requirements”.

Huh, I suppose maybe a drone-sized violation?

For the past 600 years, the pope has always been a cardinal.

The last time someone other than a cardinal was elected was 1296, they elected some monk who was something of a holy figure. It was a clusterf*"#, lasted 5 months and every decision he made was reversed by it’s successor except for one (the right for pope’s to abdicate). Which kinda sounds like Bidens term in office, but let’s not give him another chance at being useless, ok?

(There were some other non-cardinals after, but all of them clergy, and mostly during or shortly after the Avignon papacy)

Because we’re human, and that’s a human-made tool. It’s made to fit us and our needs, not the other way around. And in case you’ve missed the last decade, it actually does it rather well.

With how the day is going, might need to mix it up with a red one…

Because that’s the normal way in which humans communicate.

But for Google more specifically, that sort of keyword prompts is how you searched stuff in the '00s… Nowadays the search prompt actually understands natural language, and even has features like “people also ask” that are related to this.

All in all, do whatever works for you, it’s just that asking questions isn’t bad.

I would like it to come with an open source firmware that I could connect to my locally hosted servers.

I would enjoy mapping out load weights, water and electricity consumption, and cross reference that with a lot of other stuff. Plus some remote controls, and a better interface to choosing washing programs and scheduling start/end…

I just don’t want any of that data to leave my house, ever.

I sit down, because I’m the one who has to clean it.

The market is shifting…

For at least half a decade I’ve been seeing computers - both brand-name laptops as well as custom built desktops - sold with FreeDOS as default, and you have to pay extra for Windows.

The most important part is that you wouldn’t get a pc with an instant desktop experience that would just let you just boot up and go to Facebook or whatever, so it had little chance of actually harming Microsoft.

This may actually change things!

Do I need to change my name to name-name-3digits to join your trollfarm?

Edit: they got me boys, there goes all my karma. Hahah.
