Lol lunch breaks. I wonder how soon it takes for that to be on the chopping block too. :(

“Soldiers on the battlefield have reported seeing the robotic AI driven dogs charging enemy positions shouting “STOLEN ELECTION! VACCINES CAUSE RABIES! JEWISH SPACE LASERS!!” it has been considered a resounding success.”

printing press fired up in 2020 and real estate investors seemed to get plenty of that cash.

Maybe I’m just ignorant, but in a just world that should have never been allowed to happen… I’m sure our politicians had nothingggg to do with that “oversight.” :/

Thanks for the links!

Yeah that was me too… I FINALLY got to the point where I could realistically start looking, got the pre-approval and everything just after COVID started… People had already starting WFH and moving away from where they worked and investment companies kept buying and now I’m still living in someone else’s garage because prices went through the roof pretty much as I was looking…

Of course once you mention WFH everyone gets defensive and claims this was a trend, but those charts are the same everywhere. Houses in 2018-19 were often less than half of what they cost now…

I absolutely love my adaptive cruise control, I use it all the time. I have a hybrid and it does a much better job of keeping the engine from kicking in than I do. Thankfully with Honda I can use it everywhere not just highways. It’s been my absolute favorite “new” thing to have in a car!

If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?

Tech CEOs: Who the fuck cares? I got my ad revenue, I couldn’t care less about society. The shareholders sure seem happy!

I’d be curious to know the relation between that and simply watching the news. Maybe it’s not social media, or screen time, but simply being aware of the state of everything that is linked to anxiety and depression.

There is no amount that could answer that because the Ad profit is on top of the already existing product. It would always be viewed as a “loss.”

Not that they’re losing on the cost of operations and development of the OS, but because the ad revenue is in addition to the product…

Greed fucking greed fucking greed. Greed turtles all the way down…

So this won’t be a common issue, but just an example of “the future” Microsoft flight simulator is going to stream in almost all assets, textures, simulation results etc… they have a recommended bandwidth of 50mbs but I believe someone tested it and its more like 180 so just playing that game would mean you’re blowing through a data limit, it’s not something you could ever just download and just have on your local system.

I would also Imagine streaming video is quite high on the consumption of limits. I have no idea what the rates are on a video call type thing most people who work from home have to deal with, but that can’t be all that low as well.

“We’re entitled to everything to do, every scrap of data, everything you create, so we can feed our AI to make even more money, because you are making the mistake of using our product. If someone does hack our systems and steals all your data, who fucking cares? You aren’t me. I still get paid.”

“Can someone with money sue me? No? Oh they can fuck off then.”

As long as recall is a thing I will never move to 11. I’ll move to Linux.

I hate Microsuck for this. I just want to come home from work and have my PC work not have to play IT guy whenever Linux acts up. :(

Headline in another universe:

“Microsoft aiming to push population into switching to Linux.”

I spent 3 hours reading Amazon reviews for shoes just trying to find ONE fucking pair that didn’t have “falls apart in 3-6 months” as the most common review…

The state of everything is just absurd.

Wasn’t there just an article about how Mozilla is claiming ublock origin shouldn’t be supported anymore and another one claiming they’re starting a focus on ads?

I feel like we’re entering a really shitty time for the Internet… Tie that in with Microsucks Recall feature and computing in general is going to suck…

I don’t want to go touch grass!!

Introducing Walz as a VP hopeful sounds like they’re describing a Palin-level government official, not someone who has been active in politics for years.

They did the same to Vance though. Isn’t he a Senator? They didn’t mention that, just that he’s somebody hoping to be Trump’s VP. They also provided what I would see as a positive point for Walz: a football coach. That could be taken as he has an interest in teaching others, possibly children, but they don’t specify there.

I’d have to agree, however much I know media is biased, that this one is fairly neutral.

“When asked for further comment Microsoft fucknuts replied with: It’s the best part of being a monopoly in the PC market. Don’t like what we’re doing? Where’s the average user going to go, Linux? BWAHAHAHAHA! Hey normies, get fucked and feed my bank account! He then spat on the reporter and gave a small child the middle finger.”

Is it possible to be a traitor when you’re a capitalist shitbag?

They only have loyalty to themselves and their bank account. Quite literally the world could burn (due to their business) for all they care.

Not exactly the same but I just went to Amazon to reorder my coffee as I’m getting low and for whatever absolutely bat shit insane reason they decided to double the price in just a handful of weeks… So fuck that. Now I have to find something else. :/
