  Windows does not come with a desktop, unless you’re buying pre built, in which case you don’t mind spending extra money for the same product

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s for laptops, not desktops

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, do people pay for windows? I’ve transitioned one copy I got on my laptop a dozen years ago through a few separate pc builds. And duplicated another key, which was quite easy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  Boomers got lead instead.

  Or you just force everyone to get down and dirty and grind anki until they learn every language

  Fuck Amazon. Corporate scum

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s absolutely significant. Not to the point of being a deal breaker, but it is significant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, I would go so far as to say Amazon is worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Podcasting infrastructure is not monopolized yet, like video is. It is even bigger problem for me than underpayid artists.

  It helps a lot that audio hosting is so much cheaper than video hosting

  Genocide is clearly a winning strategy. Trump won. Ukraine is dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we make them from desalination plants, in part? Or no? I don’t know the science for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always a look to it. As long as you keep in mind that it can be wrong and adjust your view of people accordingly if corrected, it’s not super wrong to judge by appearances

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely they will prosecute in a legal manner, surely the fascists will follow the law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you think considering someone human is mutually exclusive with wishing death upon them/thinking it’s fine for them to die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it does. Because when you don’t acknowledge someone, you start pretending they shouldn’t have any rights at all, and then you can fall victim, far more easily, when they scapegoat someone, or fall victim to that hatred being redirected to an invalid target

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you incapable of fighting someone you consider human?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Acknowledging and understanding they are human DOES NOT mean cowing down or bowing down to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That tells a lot about you that you ever grouped yourself with those people in the first place.

  Let’s maybe not include a straight up oligarchy corpo state like south korea in that statement. Better than the usa? Maybe, but they’d even give that a run for the money, and just barely win out.

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC dives in to sink Chinese grip on undersea internet cables⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ostensibly that’s the reason. And sometimes it actually is. But many are obtained through bribery and do not give any real benefits

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s funny as shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Classic example of calling someone an idiot just because they disagree with you on something that’s primarily about subjective values.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A hunting cabin is purely a luxury. There’s nothing authoritarian about having high taxes for luxuries, and no, blanket taxes on luxuries are not inherently authoritarian.

  Sure, it could unfairly impact people, but since in this situation there’s no needs, only luxuries, the balance of how increased housing supply fairly easily balances the scale.

  And no, the point of my original comment is to understand impact. Realize harms the law could create, and don’t do it blindly. But that’s just to understand what you’re putting on the scales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Progressive taxes are not authoritarian in nature holy shit man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely, I’m saying this to bring up that it’s an ill effect that will come about. I don’t especially think an exception clause is reasonable, I believe they will just be abused, and it’s simply better to accept some level of negative consequences for the benefits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grandma is on her own⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They can barely split it because they’re all broke af not because the house is expensive. The house and land are pretty cheap
