Op didn’t say social media companies today are like tobacco companies today. They said social media companies today are like tobacco companies at their worst.

This was 1999. Just because you’re under 25 doesn’t mean most of the world population is under 25.

The wiki

Lol you’re arguing like you’re an expert but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel? And saying that running your package manager from the command like is to “feel like a hacker?” What a laugh. Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager, and the vast majority don’t use dnf.

What exactly do you think is inside of those packages? Who made those scripts? You’re running those scripts as root. Is that safe?

Your jingoism is showing. Belgium is more dangerous per km travelled than the US. France is on par.

Basic doesn’t require extra sensors. If we had a camera for other reasons, 100% adaptive (or rather it should at least slow the car down if traffic slows)

Not as bad as google, but yeah they have a tendency to overstep. The only way to make settings stick is the traditional way, which is the group policy editor. Settings there usually stick for 20-30 years

There’s a windows 10 mobile?!

Oh, apparently you and 0.01% of the market

I hate to alarm you but the entire planet knew climate change was going to happen 50 years ago because that was the 70s when this became well known.

Oil companies were noticing several decades before.

Sounds pretty often to me. Thanks for confirming my understanding of the laws was correct.

I too just checked, it’s illegal in Florida, NY, and California which covers such a vast swath of the us population I don’t need to look up north Dakota to know that “often illegal” is a fair description.

It’s not illegal in Texas (last of the big 4 states), but neither is shooting a girl scout in the face because she made you “feel unsafe”.

Tell me you’re a young man without telling me you’re a young man.

That’s literally what Linux updates are

Anyway if you read the article it’s opt in and fully removable.

It should have cruise control. Otoh most people driving work trucks drive are scum who drive at like half the speed limit, so maybe they’d also set their cruise control at half the speed limit.

It’s often illegal to have headphones on both ears.

I don’t know why you’re trying to claim it shouldn’t be illegal to a random internet stranger. Most things that are illegal shouldn’t be, but the HOA types that care about rules are also the ones who want to fuck rules so bad they get into positions of power. So if you want to fix it, go be a rule fucker. Or Luigi the rule fuckers.

It’s a lot easier to block out emergency sirens at normal volume levels vs the stereo where you have to have already lost your hearing before it’s loud enough to block a siren. The counterpoint to this is when the siren is actually in the music, which is why I don’t listen to certain rap while driving anymore.

It’s called “history”, not “outdated”. Op is comparing a historical behavior with a current behavior.

That comment is neither nice nor unkind. If someone can’t take a relatively neutral comment in stride and requires that I be “nice”…that’s a pretty unfortunate way to live, tbh.

If you disagree with any of the claims that’s fine, but I think the facts are fairly rock solid. It’s a word whose definition can’t include windows. It’s a word people parrot endlessly in the last year or so since Doctorow got popular, without actually understanding it. If you want to prove me wrong, go for it.

So you’re saying you know how to play COD on Linux?

You said his info was out of date. Is it out of date or not? Why are you silent now?

Windows 11 isn’t enshittified, it’s just shit. You should consider learning what that word actually means rather than just parroting it like everyone else.

Yeah cloud office is ok in a pinch but everyone does still use the installed app. This story about changing deploys might make sense if deploying on windows wasn’t a solved problem.

That’s a very privileged view, the vast majority of people didn’t change their work life.
