They found a scam to replace stop & frisk.

I think you’re missing the point - it’s not that he’s enriching himself - he’s already done that. It’s that the charity carries out his will, not necessarily the will of people who need charities.

The point is on your head.

Yes, and they were designed with that in mind- brake pedals with more leverage for one…

My mom had a Ford ranger for a while that had lost its brake boost, it took a lot of force to get it to slow down, and that wasn’t even a heavy vehicle, this was back when a pickup was a two-seater…

How badly did Vista hurt you?

I’ve had the opposite experience - 10 sucked, but I have no complaints about 11… Though it might make a difference that my experience with 10 was after my old (win7 vintage) laptop took the free update, while my 11 experience is based on a new laptop that came with it preinstalled…

Why would someone own 8 vehicles?

My uncle was like that - he was a contractor and realtor. He had several work trucks, each for a specific purpose, plus one general purpose, and half of them had snowplows of various sizes. Most of them had something wrong with them that didn’t interfere with their specific purpose, but would have been a pain to deal with daily. Only new one was a minivan for driving clients to sites… Then he bought a house closer to town that had a flatbed truck left on it…

On the internet, anyone can say anything. I am the Pope.

How well does that work after losing vacuum assist?

I was trying to offer an argument for the alternative

But that’s not what you did, at first anyway. You were looking for an argument. You asked someone to justify something that to you is a slight, with no way of knowing whether the other person intended it that way. They got defensive because they have no idea what you’re getting at, from their perspective you’re just saying “you said something wrong, this is right” without explaining why.

It’s not charity to give money to an organization you (or friends or relatives) control, it’s a way to keep your assets under your control without having to pay taxes that would otherwise be required.

“Stuck with”? I find open source alternatives far less infuriating to work with than anything Microsoft produces.

What’s the Lemmy equivalent of /r/hailcorporate?

Bootable USB stick?

Bingo. I work for a small software company, so I expect shit like this to go out to production every so often and cause trouble for our couple tens of thousands of clients… But I can’t fathom how any company with worldwide reach can let it happen…

I wanted one a few years ago, but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t from the 90s and/or beat to shit…

Enshittification intensifies!

Both bad is not the same as both the same. They’re differently bad. That’s the part you seem to be missing.

Well, I don’t pay for premium, and I use an adblocker, and I haven’t had any problems. Not having a problem doesn’t prove anything if they’re only targeting a subset of their users…

You know what else spammers and criminals often do? Breathe. We need to make that more difficult.
