They want an efficient government not wasting time and resources on unnecessary things ...

They get a government crying over the name of a body of water.

Who's to bet a load of shares get bought up, then suddenly this announcement is rescinded?

What the fuck is it called a concession... rather than "fair market price"?

Young people were especially worried about:

• inflation (65%),
• expensive housing (54%),
• poverty in old age (48%),
• the division of society (49%)

Aaah yes, that classical list of things that a fiscally right party would solve ...

So... Let me check I get this right on the timeline.

America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.

Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.

Next steps boys

Health insurance is HOW MUCH!

And there are Brits here saying how great private care is and how much they want it... fucking turkeys to christmas.

The party that wants to ban abortion to "save the children" has just condemned, quite literally millions of, children around the world to slow and agonising deaths from entirely treatable illnesses.

Too late... It's already ingrained in my mind as "of course they do"

When America gets sick, the whole world coughs.

Sadly we're all in the inside of this one

Unless it's circumcision for religious reasons ... then chopping off body parts is A'OK.

I wonder if all the bot activity on reddit makes it look so busy that people are confused when they come somewhere with far fewer bots around?

I notice significantly more positive interaction with (at least what I believe to be) real humans here than I did on reddit in my last couple of years there.

Something I noticed recently

The same people who quickly bemoan "everyone wants a label now" seen to be the same people who say "all kids do this like that".

Emotionally pressuring you to step back from education.

There are plenty of people outside looking in, that would call this abuse.

Mid-day should be the middle of the day. Mid-night should be the middle of the night.

If you like more light in the evening morning go to bed late and wake up late. If you like light in the morning evening, go to bed early and wake up early.

Stop fucking with the clocks and making nonsensible decisions

I'm not anti US. But given the current state of the Russian forces in Ukraine, the rest of NATO doesn't need US support to defeat any Russian advance.

I highly doubt China wants all out war with NATO, so Russia would be largely alone.

The worst would be if the Cheeto supremo were to try and fight NATO. I'm not sure how much the US military complex would back that though.

don’t expect that it will make them popular with anyone who actually uses Nvidia drivers on Linux

The group to be annoyed at are Nvidia. Plain and simple.

At this point ... what stops the CVE foundation moving on as a foundation and working to find an alternative funding model?

Microsoft did this with browsers.

HTML was a thing, that was implemented by other browsers at the time. Netscape Navigator (the precursor to Firefox) was a thing that already did HTML well. It could access the world wide web, and was the defacto standard.

Microsoft introduced internet explorer, bundled with Windows. At first, internet explorer was not as good/complete/compatible as Netscape Navigator. Over time, it got better almost to parity. But it also added new features, features not in the HTML specification. They were not added to the specification, and how IE would use those features was not made public. So Netscape could not implement them.

Users started to expect those features.

Over time, more webpages would break on Netscape than on IE. Web designers wanted the fancy new features of ie. So users moved away from Netscape.

If only a number of technical users care about something, that the "mainstream" (for want of a better word) doesn't care about. Then things work less and less for the techies.

Meta could do the same with the Fediverse. As they already have market domination in other markets, they can introduce a lot of users to our "safe space". But be real if posts stop working and you as a techie knows it's because Meta have done something funky, Grandbob Jim isn't likely to care. Grandbob Jim will continue to use what "works". And some of the less techie of us will be forced to move to the MetaFediVerse to talk to our Grandbobs.

"almost"

I'll bite ...

crushing the productivity of these workers

What "crushing" of productivity are you delusionally on about?

I can find any number of sources showing that productivity has been on the rise for decades, and has continued to rise as Millenials and younger entered the job market. There is no "crushing the productivity".

The rise of the internet and social media has led to a culture of instant gratification ... This sense of entitlement

Millenials and younger have gone through their entire school life being told "you need to do well this year at school, to get into the top set next year, to get into a good university to get a good job". We/they have been told this by every generation above them, for their entire lives. The have followed this, listened to their elders, worked hard through school, sat meaningless exams, gotten good meaningless grades, they have gone to university. They have worked hard their entire lives ...

Just to be told, "culture of instant gratification" "you're entitled" "you've not done the grunt work". It's selfish of the previous generations to not recognise this.

Your entire comment rings as "needs evidence" to me. To the point I'm not sure if it's satire or not. You've failed to put in any grunt work, evidence anything or source it as anything more than conjecture.

They expect to be rewarded simply for showing up, rather than for producing quality work.

This is the opposite of how I see the world, as it stands. Look at the people calling for maintaining or increasing working hours. Look at the people calling to work in office. It's the previous generations expecting people to turn up, in office and sit there for hours so they can be paid. They are expecting people to be rewarded simply for showing up.

Look at the people calling for unlimited holiday and reduced workhours, where failure to deliver is a disciplinary issue. Look at the people calling to work from home, and have the quality of their work assessed, not their dress sense or punctuality. Look at the people driving quick delivery, rapid review and peer appraisal of work. These are the people who are focussed on delivering quality, and not getting paid simply for showing up.
