US tipping culture was originally influenced by wealthy British elites so this is basically coming back full circle.

my favorite setup used to be i3+plasma. basically you could replace kwin with i3 for window management but everything else was standard kde. was one of the easiest setups and configurations I've used with sane defaults. Now I'm curious if it still works with everything moving to Wayland.

mary was like 11-14

i would flip it around and say "must have been a beta version"

i like how his 'flex' indicates that he knew and supported him anyways.

that's kind of the point

my work we had test, stage and prod. test was very unstable as every merge auto deployed, so stage was semi stable where you would push changes you verified in test. then one day they decided to remove the stage environment. we have no data in test, other teams never passed data there, so we setup a semi production environment that has data and cost 10x as much. now they want to setup a stage environment to save costs but they don't want to call it stage because that was bad and was too expensive. so they came up with a new name and are making everyone update to push data there. honestly i can't take watching these people be praised for their innovation and promoted to make more of these shit decisions. the world's gone mad and the madder you are the more you're rewarded.

how long is it going to take for people to realize these companies aren't making products for people, they're using you as the product to sell to advertisers and state agencies. they don't care if you like it they only care if you use it.

Gates made his money off monopolizing technology. You can find memos where he specifically leveraged his contacts with manufacturers to ignore specifications (which Microsoft helped specify) so FOSS like Linux wouldn't work properly.

I truly believe in a world without Microsoft that todays software would be much safer, private and advanced by quite a few years.

Gates only became a philanthropist after he married, there's probably a very good reason she left, even excluding the Epstein connections.

I guess it's time to give Google campuses 1 Star reviews?

i really hope you can clarify, are you saying genocide is justifiable to have cheap bananas?

could be skimpflation. company's have been changing ingredients slowly to lower the cost of ingredients to save on cost. doing it very slowly over years they end up saving money and no one really notices the changes.

if you can find an old ingredient/nutritional list from a few years ago you can compare ingredient order to see if it's changed

kwin supports this, gnome from my perspective is more about a cohesive experience you either love or don't

Microsoft lawyer Rakesh Kilaru wrote that Microsoft was already considering layoffs before the merger.

Corporate gaslighting at it's finest. we planned to layoff ~1000 employees from the company we were acquiring before we agreed not to do that!

basically no company wants the bad PR. If it had come out twitch would be known as the platform with pedos and parents wouldn't let their kids use it resulting in the platform becoming obsolete.

it's not a milkshake it's ice cream with candy mixed in to order. it's served with a spoon in a cup so you can get in a drive through and store it in a cup holder.

volunteers on false promises will become victims. let Elon get it first if he really believes in it, just like the ocean gate CEO believed in his submarine.

dodgers also repelled ice from entering their stadium, they're pretty woke. more people should be like the dodgers

when they have no actual skills outside of gaslighting they end up seeing this as the same they see an expert. they can't validate either way correctness and correctness doesn't really matter to them as long as they make money.
