Americans are being lied to all day, every day, by complicit corporate media backing an ever more corrupt establishment. This is not exclusive to Republicans by any stretch of the imagination: remember all the people clamouring against the “Bernie Bros”? I’m sure some of the people taking this extreme position against Republican voters were also bashing Bernie Bros and saying “it’s her turn”.

Where did that get you people, huh? Sanders and AOC extend an olive branch and fill up stadiums, while you continue to try to drive even more wedges between us. “He will not divide us”? You were right, because OP and people like OP are all too happy to drive the wedge in on their own. Trump is not the thing you’re fighting against, he’s effectively what you’re fighting for. Go ahead, keep driving people away to the right and see what happens.

Selection bias. The nature of Reddit and its past as a liberal free speech zone lends (lended?) itself to particular traits. Reddit’s average user is some combination of the following:

• male
• in a STEM job or training/educated for STEM work
• grew up middle-class
• downwardly mobile
• has ADHD or autism

Altogether this does actually mean IQ probably trends a bit higher on average. That doesn’t mean shit for the quality of your arguments if you don’t critically examine your beliefs though, and anyone spouting American media talking points is not examining anything.

Absolute stealth hit. The last table tennis game… Man that hits hard.

I watched it expecting the same campy tropes from other fantasy/sci-fi movies of the era and what I got was a movie deeper than it lets on. That score too, amazing.

Gay men are men too?

Used to see the odd “genetics” fat person and they’d just be built a bit bigger. Now I’m seeing fucking waddling planetoids and that’s not genetics man. Part of that blame belongs to individuals but part of it belongs to the food lobbyists and their quest to add sugar and corn syrup to everything.

Incentivise people to grow their own vegetables (or source them locally from those who already are) and disincentivise the purchase of processed and sweetened food. Have our agencies promote healthy recipes using weight rather than volume measurements and show people how to use scales to properly weigh ingredients and help make it as easy as possible to count calories.

Venture Bros is probably the best I’ve seen, but I also enjoyed

• Primal
• The Tick
• Amazing Screw-On Head (only the pilot ever got made, but if you like it check out Creature Commandos)
• Megas XLR

Also if you have kids and want to watch stuff with them that isn’t brain rot, try Samurai Jack, Clone Wars (Tartakovsky’s original), and Reboot.

Excel is probably the one sore spot for LibreOffice, but also Google’s suite and really everyone else. Excel is tough to beat, especially when you consider the additional power of things like Power Query and Excel on web having JavaScript functions.

That said: I truly despise pivot tables and I no longer use them. I use lookups, countif, or other functions to display what I need, otherwise I use Power Query.

Don’t two of those say it is immoral to charge interest?

lol but seriously this is the first time I’m not buying a Nintendo console on launch in a long time. Their prices here in Canada were already absurd but this gen is just unreal.

With our HP laptops they would work perfectly so long as you only ever used them with one brand of dock. If you mixed dock brands without doing a full restart (like say having one brand at home, suspending, and then using another brand’s dock at the office) Wi-Fi, suspend, and several other features would no longer work or work intermittently. We had HP and Targus working on it, even their engineers were puzzled.

Problem was non-existent on Linux…

The difference is that if an upgrade breaks a Linux install (which is much rarer in my experience) I can often simply change the setting, revert the update, use a different distro/version, or even undo the change myself. Hell if it’s was kernel deep, nothing stops you from recompiling yourself, if the problem warrants it.

We can more easily run special Linux versions in a virtual machine without having to do a bunch of registry/gp magic and hope it sticks because Microsoft likes to force updates through your settings anyway.

There are more options for dealing with problems and they suck less.

You can’t be serious? People buy other file managers because the Windows one sucks so bad. I would know, I purchase our software.

We are doing a review of all of our software to prep for Windows 11 right now. It’s not going nearly as well as you think because not all software is consumer-grade.

Not too long ago a bunch of our scientific devices got knocked out by Microsoft fixing an old serial bug. Turns out all the software to run these was built to workaround the bug and quite a few of these items are long since unsupported (or the vendor is gone). Some of these are tens of thousands of dollars, we can’t just replace these on a whim.

Windows: “PROGRAM_NAME experienced an error: DEEZ_NUTZ”

Yep that’s what we’re calling a useful error prompt these days. So much better than Linux lol

I’d argue that as Windows continues to abandon its (relatively) sane configuration UI for the newer useless Settings screens, it has reached the point where it really is sometimes easier to just look up what you need to do in Powershell.

This problem is only getting worse over time, so I don’t think it’s fair to hand the win to Windows.

Implying suspend works on Windows either. I’ve got like a 50/50 chance my monitor connected with DisplayPort actually gets signal after waking on Windows. This shit has been a problem for a long time.

Shouldn’t have to use fucking group policy just to stop your machine updating at inopportune times. Fucking Windows.

You could say this about literally anything though? All of the best rushes in life are just your brain drugging itself.

Sorry I don’t understand, you want a source about the protestors getting their accounts frozen, or about the coverage of that event? I’ve seen both but the meta-coverage will be harder to find because it is largely confined to Medium/Substack/blogs/etc…
