I mean…

When WWIII finally starts, we’ll still be expected to show up to work on time.

Hey check it out, this guy hasn’t heard of Franz Ferdinand! /s

As to not be rude or dismissive: the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand is generally credited with the start of World War I. The implication being that a world war has been started over a seemingly small event that had tumultuous consequences thereafter. The further implication being that we may already be past a Franz Ferdinand assassination type event and may be worryingly headlong into a path to large scale warfare once again.

Does lemmy.world not let you edit your comments?

Who isnt going to go along with it?

Gotta be like 90% of people have never installed an OS because Windows was already on their PC when they bought it.

To them, its part of buying a PC. They don’t consider the OS a separate purchase.

If they make this move they’re banking on people not noticing until after they’ve bought a shiny new PC. After that most people will suffer the cost because they already own the PC and its just “easier.”

I would rag on Google here, but if you read this entire mastadon nitter thread, other people have already done a golden ass job of taking Google to task for this propaganda.

According to these dimwits, people being able to be true to themselves is the source of all the evils in the world.

Anyway, yeah, agreed. It’s such a small fraction of the population it beggars belief.

The downvotes all over this thread without response arguing anything really say it all, don’t they?

Hey, at least your conservatives aren’t so dedicated to proving government doesn’t work that they oust their own House speaker because he wouldn’t shut down the government to prove government doesn’t work.

Other than that, they’re nearly as shitty. They’re just not flat-out “we’re breaking government to prove government is broken” yet. So far, they only seem to do that with the NHS. (I could be wrong, just looking from the outside, as a Yank)

These aren’t stopped clocks, these are creepy old dudes jerking off in the corner and they happen to own a watch.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more accurate description, honestly.

This chucklefuck is a year younger than me.

I read The Second Sex twenty fucking years ago. It was written over 70 years ago.

Like, they keep acting like gender is performative is a new idea when it’s absolutely old as living fuck at this point.

How long do we keep giving them to accept that this is clearly true and has value as a way to discuss a variety of subjects, from social expectations of what cisgender women are “supposed to look like” to why gender and biological sex are different things (on top of biological sex being a lot more vague than conservatives tend to think. protip: intersex people exist!)?

How long do they get to hide behind “It was a different world back then” when books written about this very subject come from that ancient fucking world they’re always referencing for why they’re such bigoted fucking shitheels.

They shouldn’t get to hide behind “it was a different world back then” when a number of us who are older than this dipshit are familiar with these ideas already because these ideas existed before we were fucking born.

Maybe their stupid asses should have picked up and read a fucking book (that wasn’t Mein Kampf) in seventy fucking years.

Anyway, it is sickening and ridiculous this far into the future this is still being discussed like its a controversial issue and not clearly fucking painfully obviously the reality of the situation.

Man you really don’t have shit else to do, do you?

Like seriously how fucking empty is your life that you can’t bring yourself to do anything but troll online?

You realize you aren’t getting that time back either, right?

EDIT: Shocker, when called out right at the outset, this giant fucking pussy just bails. Nice job being an epic master troll you absolute fucking idiot. Just like all giant pussies who like to troll, he can bring the fire but can’t stand the heat.

But will it actually be ad-free, or just personalized ad-free?

Because if it’s actually ad-free, you might find a decent number of people willing to pay it. (Especially those without the technical know-how to block ads, a small fee is probably worth it to them.)

If it’s just personalized ad-free, and still has generic ads, you’ll have basically nobody who gives enough of a shit to pay.

Might be fun to rig the power button so if someone presses it, that song from the Transformers animated movie starts playing…

“You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power! Yeah!”

Alternately, pipe output to “Notepad” and speak by writing your thoughts on a notepad all night.

You could always just go as “End User” which is just a name tag and introduce yourself by quoting Taylor Swift (like the average end user):

“It’s me. Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”

Sly reference to PEBCAK.

More reasons to prioritize public transit over individual car ownership.

When did you wake up and choose to be evil?

As we’ve seen worldwide, I’m not sure how well turning a public health problem into a political issue will work out. No matter your political slant, politicians just aren’t the solution to public health issues, as much as they’re needed to administer the legal solutions.

As well as the fact that bedbugs are spreading more and faster due to climate change since they thrive in warmer environments. This problem has been growing and will continue to grow. I worry about when it reaches my own city.

Solutions for such a wide outbreak are scarce, but viable solutions I think would come from the scientific community about effective treatments and long-term changes to keep them at bay. However, as we’ve seen with COVID, there will be a number who will resist efforts to control the pests as some form of social control, infringing on their right to be scruffy bastards, I suppose.

I do wish Paris the best in finding a long-term viable solution to this, it’s a terribly difficult problem to be facing. Especially with intent to host an Olympic games.

If Jacques Derrida wrote about computer programming.
