Appease "the Base" and "own the libs". Drive a deeper wedge and call it freedom and unity.

This isn't normal.

That goes without saying... another user here says the drive can't be larger than 8GB but I'm fairly certain I tried that, too.

"Abortion debate" and all other culture warfare is only to keep the masses busy fighting each other so they don't engage the rich in class warfare.

My Canon photo printer can be converted to a tank-style with a drill and a highly illegal cartridge resetter.

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don't buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

Only reasons I can think of are time and money. We sadly lost DivestOS and their projects... How about software patents, which of course are bullshit; but even illegitimate threats can ruin small businesses and lone programmers who don't have the time and money to defend themselves.

It sounds like these are modchipped if they come with a USB stick of games (that the owner then burns as they wish?)

I got it from techrights.org, author is a bit wacky but seems to have his heart in the right place.

Era of clown computing.

Or bad Dell drivers, or Microsoft software. Not my picture, take with a grain of salt as they say.

No offense, but some folks apparently felt the need to downvote you because modern GNU/Linux is a copy of Windows, which is a copy of Macintosh, which is a copy of Xerox Alto.

GNU/Linux is missing important stuff because manufacturers only pay someone to write drivers for Windows and sometimes Mac, because those are the dominant "normal user" OSes, because those are the OSes that manufacturers support...

Your complaints are certainly valid, but the IT of your company should be applying Group Policies to address some of these!

Enterprise version is also more stable than the goddamn "you are the guinea pig" spyware Home and Pro versions. O&O ShutUp10++ for those... Hilariously, they are a Microsoft Partner according to their website; some partnership that is when an automatic update from Microsoft can undo anything their software does.

I'm by no means an expert but a power user... I saw the writing on the wall years ago and now have only one Windows machine explicitly for some hardware that have no Linux drivers but is otherwise very nice and useful.

Didn't Google and Nvidia just throw everything they had into a concerted AGI effort and fail?!

wasted trillions

You misspelled "redirected trillions from taxpayers to military contractors".

Paywalled.

Does "ужасшоу" sound kind of like "asshole"?

I almost wish I hadn't looked; knew my area had paper mills and wood processing, they've been dredging the waterways for PCBs (chlorinated organics) for decades.

I work with electronics and have heard from multiple older gentleman that when they were young, they saw old high-voltage transformers from power poles being replaced which would be leaking off the backs of the trucks until empty or even purposely tipped into the storm drains. Why is healthcare so expensive?

No apologies for being politics-adjacent in the Gaming community, billionaires aren't keeping their hands out of anything either. Keep rewarding Valve and the good companies and shitting on the bad ones!

Nah. News... Uh, in an adjacent saga, billionaire Kanye West is selling swastika t-shirts. So that's where we're at with these people...

Hear, hear. It fucking sucks that we created these monsters. At least I did, for simply wanting to use eBay.

Now you got me started on X... While true, Musk is no fool and bought such a simple and recognizable domain back from PayPal in 2017 for an undisclosed amount.

He's a successful businessman, no doubt. Problem is that billionaires are pulling up the ladders behind them as wealth inequality is increasing (power is concentrating).

Twitter was well-known to be infested with bots when Musk purchased it. Turns out, that made it more valuable to someone rich who wants to sway elections...

Shop local, use smaller local services (credit unions), drop services owned by or purchased by billionaires (Too busy ranting and I haven't actually read this article yet )
