non-fire- removed ant

I don’t know which instance is doing this shit (world or ml, I assume), but it’s absolutely removed. 😤

You don’t seem to allow much of anything, lately. It’s all remove this, ban that.

Your instance truly makes Lemmy feel like Reddit at its worst.

Yeah, some Catalan politicians say “els ciutadans i les ciutadanes”, much like some Spanish politicians say “los ciudadanos y las ciudadanas”. Romance languages tend to have gendered nouns (and by extension articles). 🤷‍♂️

Switches Excel to scroll the sheet with the arrow keys instead of moving from cell to cell.

I’m pretty certain Excel supports scroll lock. It lets you scroll the sheet with the arrow keys instead of moving from cell to cell (also last time I tried you could go to the ribbon menu with the slash key, like in the good ol’ Lotus 123 days). Wouldn’t be surprised if it also works in other spreadsheet programs.

The set of all integers is not larger than the set of all odd integers.

The set of all real numbers, on the other hand, is.

Seems like a reasonable demand.

Must be a tumour, then. 😞

Good, ban boomers too, then.

Yeah, it’s called clinical depression, it’s entirely normal, happens to everyone. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but British is a thing, and everyone knows about it (the British made damn well sure, back when they were the main global bully)… American, on the other hand, doesn’t work, because it refers to the whole damn continent, not just the USA… so if we want to refer to the citizens of the US Yankee / Yank is about the only option we have; not the best, maybe, but probably the least worst.

In the US, sure.

Outside, a Yankee is a Yankee, even if they’re cosplaying a ghost while standing in front of a burning cross and waving a confederate flag. We don’t care enough to ask in which state they had the misfortune of being born. 🤷‍♂️

Yankee, or Yank.

You just haven’t turned the current high enough.

Yeah, sorry, I was thinking from a PC standpoint and sort of ignored the whole console perspective (though, frankly, the console market seems to have been absolutely fubared from its inception, from a consumer standpoint, so anything Microsoft does will probably be as relevant as farting into an ocean of shit…)

Activision Blizzard was already about as anti-consumer as possible, so in this particular case at worst nothing will change, at best Microsoft might actually clean house and there might be some improvements for the consumers…

No one’s saying they can’t also be dropped from a plane while strapped to a heavy weight. Planes are big, there’s room for CEOs and boards, and anyone else who promotes enshittification. 🤷‍♂️

Luckily, Activision Blizzard already stopped investing in quality and started shafting customers quite a while back, so worst case scenario (in this particular case, your criticism is still valid for most others) nothing changes, best case scenario Microsoft actually cleans house and the market becomes slightly less anti-consumer with one of the worst offenders gone…

That seems like an excellent idea, we should all make everything possible to make sure such AI overlords are built.

Please don’t hurt me, or an eventual future indistinguishable facsimile of myself…?

People don’t use Windows because it’s a “fantastic” OS for their needs. It very evidently is not “fantastic” (or anywhere close) for anyone’s needs but Microsoft’s. People use Windows because it comes bundled with their PCs due to Microsoft’s monopolistic malpractices, and because they can’t get bothered to figure out how to get rid of that bloatware / malware (or, they would get rid of it if possible, but are held hostage by the software — or malware, e.g., Adobe — they need to work only working on Windows, again due to said monopolistic malpractices).
