You’re a Windows shop? Why don’t you deploy a policy that prevents users from shutting down computers?

Stock prices at least have the possibility of being based on something substantial other than dice rolls. Derivatives, not so sure.

BIOS exists no more. It’s all UEFI which is controllable from the outside.

Just so you know, if your UEFI isn’t password protected, Windows can change settings in there. I haven’t heard of that ever happening but I wouldn’t be surprised if it would some day.

Even the original picture without the added text is very downvoteable. This “meme” communicates resentment but the point is valid.

We need this in the EU too. Actually, every country should adopt this policy.

I don’t care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it’s easier to do it again. The rules that could lead to Twitter being banned today might be sane but who knows about the future? Maybe they start blanket banning Lemmy or Mastodon instances if the fediverse grows so large that moderation can’t keep up?

We don’t need a precedent for the EU censoring the internet.

Diablo 2 too, seems like it was just yesterday.

It’s not unreasonable to start charging for an app like that if it is under active maintenance, that costs money for the company after all.

But the lesson for the consumer is: Don’t buy tools that rely on apps or servers ran by someone else unless you want to eventually start paying rent…

Why does that portal need to exist in the first place?

Heck, even electronic voting systems in the US is closed-source.

How can elections even be trusted to be fair in that case?

Woah, in 2021 their best paid developer got 775K. I wonder how much work he produced for that money.

Is it that the decade of 0% interest rates and angel funding for startups lulled us into unrealistically thinking we could get unlimited everything for 9.99 per month, or is it that companies are suddenly starting to rip off people?

As an end consumer it’s impossible to gauge what is a proper price for entertainment.

Can someone explain the logic behind this? Other than “they say that, so we get to say this!”

It’s like “Gandhi”. Seems like freaking no one on the internet knows how to spell that name.

Can you elaborate how it helps? My limited understanding is that it helps curb the mental anxiety even if your body is simultaneously full of stress hormones.
