Not only wouldn’t he see a punishment, but he’d be elected a second time to do it again!

A 20 year old car can be perfectly functional.

Not if the car manufacturers get their wish. They’d love to force you to buy a new car every few years. Having tech installed that becomes obsolete fast would help make you upgrade.

They won’t, but they bought me a brand new shiny copy of Linux Mint.

Fascism is something to be alarmed about! It’s an existential threat to democracy!

And this is exactly what’s wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should’ve run. They’re too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it’s like for most Americans, and clearly they don’t care because they’ve never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn’t vote.

That’s a Canada goose. They get pretty big.

Definitely shopped though.

That’s not hypocritical. That’s reaching your target audience.

That’s what you’re for.

I ditched Microsoft on my new build back in Feb. I installed Mint and it’s been a really smooth transition for me. I can still do everything I used to, although I know there are some use cases where it’s a problem for people. All the games I’ve tried run well.

But it does give me peace of mind that someone isn’t going to change my settings in a way that benefits them in a patch. I feel like I’m working with my OS to get things done instead of wrestling against what some corporate MBA wants.

Maybe he broke his arms.

functioning democracy

That’s exactly why it’s divisive. They don’t want a functioning democracy.

You’re in a thread about MS fucking up and you’re annoyed that people are… [Checks notes]… complaining about MS fucking up? What exactly did you come here expecting?

How the fuck is this allowed.

"We shared all your data, but you can tell us not to if you want. I mean, we already did it, but, you know how it is… 🤷‍♂️ "

And they have the nerve to call the heading “Trust and safety”. TRUST?! There’s no trust for anyone who would sell my data to the highest bidder. Or even anyone who will offer pennies.

You mean like the softwood lumber dispute that’s been going on for over 40 years where the US has put illegal tariffs on Canadian softwood exports? The one where they’ve been found in breach of the agreement multiple times and still haven’t fixed it?

Yeah, I’m sure they would never put tariffs on Mexican electric cars to protect their own auto industries.

Don’t worry, the US govt will put huge tariffs on them soon enough.

Sure, I’m gonna steal your TV because I’ll take better care of it than you would.

You’re welcome
