Economic policies will start shifting to inflation reducing by raising interest rates. This is purely inflationary in all economies and it’s hilariously going to tank stock trading.

Find a culture you like and language you think is interesting and learn. No need to make it a chore, turn it into something positive and maybe go visit ands find someone to talk to in their native language and even better wants to learn yours!

Meh its a seriously dated OS thats had layers of lipstick added onto the turd all the while gaslighting its customers while stealing from them.
Its beyond insecure, hasn’t innovated in a long time and their answer to this? Online accounts and slop to steal more customer data…
Stockholm syndrome in PCs is very real.

End users… … aren’t paying shit
Users dont pay for the services. Okaay.
Well done you know how sales tax works. Customers pay the business. Business pays the Government. My point.
Swing and a miss on all points.
FYI I used the common terms for your benefit, you sounded American.

Call things what they are, not a tax.
You should practice it.
Levy is a Tax.
opposition requires
Doesn’t require anything. It only requires personal opinion. Parliament runs on it.
Of course the privacy impact is huge. privacy just does not matter to the average working voting person trying to put groceries on the table.
MPs wont change the stance here because people want to be protected by anonymity. Frankly they won’t change stance at all. Its a certainty at this point.
But it will increase the cost of business which will be passed on and definitely exploited.
“Wont somebody think of the children”
Plenty of children starving in the UK because Government services cant raise revenue to maintain existing levels of public services.
I look to the UK and see the future of western economies. Boned badly, society highly controlled with a large overall tax burden, years of immigration to keep the budget balaced on paper increasing the impact all to delay the fallout. And yes while this will most likely not register a blip to the CPI, its still yet another cut in the wrong direction.

Levy, lol.
Call it what it is: a tax.
A burden on the population. No amount of dirty politics changes the fact. Taxes do not all get directly paid to gavernment. Like sales taxes, service tips ect
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 3 months ago:
It very much is.
Doesn’t matter who or how its recovered. Its still a state mandated cost, aka tax.
Every single piece of legislation costs the population. They all add to the worsening costs of living. In times of economic crisis these costs need to come down not up.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 3 months ago:
Read my post, you really didn’t read it.
I’ll spell it out.
State created the law. That creates a cost to be recovered. How that cost is recovered is irrelevant, it’s s state mandated cost aka tax.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 3 months ago:
How these taxes are applied either reimbursed, taxed directly, or passed on: its still is a tax burden increasing the cost of living. This and previous Government’s have only further worsened the problem. The police state reduces life expectancy.
- Comment on UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole 3 months ago:
UK has a massive federal budget problem and they still keep increasing expenditure on surveillance. That social value is negative at this point as its taking money away from critical services. Well done to the Government continuing the worsen debt, health, and wellbeing of the population.

“Safety” meanwhile these same mp’s can’t budget can’t run critical public services.
But don’t worry, your thoughts are policed
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows 5 months ago:
Azure is tiny compared to the competition.
363 is much more successful comparatively. That said, its dying fast, with the utter garbage service upgrades, its enshitified hard into a rigid platform unsuitable for enterprises. So find/make a real alternative to EXO with the Outlook app: and 365 ends over night.

Pure copium.
They are both handheld gaming devices. Consumers do not care about anything else, just wait until the xbox handheld eats even more of those sales.

Lol what a comical copium.
They are both handheld gaming devices. To claim otherwise is nothing more than an ideological feature that only matters to 2% of thr market.

Recent research study I read that looked reasonable, it was posted here on lemmy. I’ll try and find it when I have time and edit this post.

Yes, it is.
Read the first line of my post above.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 7 months ago:
No, that is not ROI, thats trade value and is mainly a reflection in shareholder payments and perceived growth potential.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 7 months ago:
Absolutely, Natella (intentional) has commented about the valueless hype for one. The stock value has little to do with short term returns, I would expect a correction in 12-24months as openai cash starts running dry and it begins reflecting in their stock value first and foremost.
- Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce 7 months ago:
No, this is a correction after the CEO made very poor investments into an LLM company run by a crypto grifter
