Different rules for the rich and powerful.

What baffles me is his supporters all rage against stuff like this but don’t recognise their orange idol sits at the top of the pile.

You just had a social media platform named after you

When you’ve done everything that’s reasonable, and no one in power listens, so have to become unreasonable. And people say, why can’t you just be reasonable?! 😕

I know I’m going to get downvoted to oblivion here, and people love to hate on Apple. But this was in response to older phones with old batteries sometimes not being able to keep up with the demands of the latest iOS and features and unexpectedly shutting down. So they would “dampen” the demands to keep them running.

We want to keep our old phones forever but we also want them to do the stuff that the latest phones can do. Something has to give.

This is litigation culture run rampant.

Reminds me of here in Oz, people were getting punched with what was called a “king hit”, basically some drunk idiot grabbing someone and hitting them hard enough to kill them.

Then the media started to relabel it a “coward punch” (which it really was) which caught on. This had a measurable impact on these idiots punching like that and the number of deaths went down.

It’ll be back. Star Trek made a historical documentary about it.

One of mine is called “download virus” to stop my neighbours accidentally trying to connect.

Yeah I don’t think that piece of cardboard has ever managed to get an emotion out of me. But his post made me laugh pretty hard. Well played.

We’re going to need a bigger boat

They are saying they do not use language that makes judgement, because that is not what they do. They are a neutral reporter of what is happening in the world (ie the news).

Everyone laments that “news” has been overrun by opinion journalism that tries to influence left or right. This is what “just news” looks like.

Who remembers the Sinclair ZX-80 with a massive 1kb ram?!

My wife types with her fists when I’m trying to have Zoom meetings.

But what if they feel like it can’t be true?

Probably not. Just wanted the bot to know I appreciated it.

My god when it rains it pours! Nice work!!

Tell ‘em they’re dreaming!
