  • They wonder why nobody wants kids anymore.

    Jump

  • Women often have to trade career progression for motherhood. That's a big ask considering the decades we've spent letting neoliberals devalue motherhood and labour in and out of the home.

    ~20 years ago my wife was mocked at university for wanting to have children. It hasn't improved much since.

  • Ubisoft asking all staff to return to office full-time to "boost the collective performance for AAA"

    Jump

  • Investors have very big brains and are never wrong, so when a company drops staff they say it's good to see the company losing dead weight.

    Us stupid small-brained normies see a company struggling to have an original idea shaving staff to stay afloat and say "that doesn't look good".

    Then the big-brain investor loses money and posts on social media about how you can't win them all. The joke is that us normies also lost money; the investor didnt lose their money, they lost yours, because they were managing your pension fund.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

  • Do you think that generated depictions of the sexual abuse of children are ok in any context?

  • Guy atomically made of shit takes has another shit take, colour me surprised.

  • I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.

    Jump

  • Running away saved me a lot of times. It also failed me twice, and those two times left me with a scar and a permanent disability. As a complete self-defense solution it's a bad idea, but as part of your defense it's a great suggestion for any able bodied people.

    I can no longer outrun potential attackers. This door is closed to me.

    Jump

  • I've faced many attempts to severely harm me but I usually escaped. I failed to escape twice: got kneecapped with a bat once (leaving me with a permanent injury), and stabbed once miraculously missing anything vital.

    My crime: having to work late, growing up in a poor neighbourhood.

    I'd feel a lot safer if I could be armed. I don't want to die.

  • Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet

    Jump

  • I just moved my main PC to CachyOS like two weeks ago. It's been quite nice so far actually. Minor hiccup when trying to play The Guild 2 (had to use Protontricks to download DirectPlay)

  • In Blow to 'Fetal Personhood' Push, Alabamian Serving 18 Years After Stillbirth Gets New Trial

  • 18 years

    I know of child predators and murderers who got less time.

  • Windows vs. Linux User

    Jump

  • just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl

    It took me ages to get the nerve to redo my media server. Then some of my hardware failed and I had to redo it again... By the third time redoing it I had become a lot more confident.

    Also you learn to take notes on everything you touch and make backups lol

  • Windows vs. Linux User

    Jump

  • I just feel like bringing these pain points up in the hope that someone might have an answer for me or others, I guess?

    Completely valid and I encourage you to keep doing so. Denying there are usability problems does not fix them.

  • Windows vs. Linux User

    Jump

  • This kind of thing is why backups / snapshots are so important to do. On Linux we actually get that option so much more easily than on Windows, so it's worth doing. On Windows, updates are painful enough that out of habit I just reinstall Windows every year to head this problem off.

    Not trying to minimize your pain, it's something I had to learn to deal with too and it does take time and energy to properly resolve, which isn't free. The experience will also vary dramatically between distros and hardware.

    Lastly if you're a long time Windows user try to remember what it was like when you were new, when you had no idea how the pieces connect to each other; it takes time to get into the groove.

  • You might prefer a more curated experience like Bazzite.

    Jump

  • Moved to CachyOS. Most things just worked. "update" is literally an alias that updates your OS and packages. Once had a bad update, snapshot rolled me back into action within 3 minutes.

    With Windows that could warrant a reinstall/reimage if it's bad enough. Fucking wild.

  • handling strays

    Jump

  • One time ~15 years ago a guy showed up to a party as his gf's +1. She and my girlfriend got into a fight and he and I just wandered off and played some games.

    We're still friends and they're long gone. This is how guys meet lol

  • The job market is so bad, people in their 40s are resorting to going back to school instead of looking for work

    Jump

  • I mean we're seeing the same thing in Canada only it's every racial/religious enclave doing it. Indians are redrawing the caste lines, Jews are pushing out gentiles, Chinese are holding condo board meetings in Mandarin and then using them to force out other people...

    This is what happens when people let themselves be divided; they're going to carve up the pittance left to us while leaving the rest of the pie to the sickeningly wealthy.

  • The post-GeForce era: What if Nvidia abandons PC gaming?

  • AMD didn't make a 5090 equivalent so I won't buy their mid-tier card

    Is there a name for this thinking?

  • Microsoft will finally kill obsolete cipher that has wreaked decades of havoc

  • Microsoft is a machine fueled by monkey paw wishes.

    You want to force users off a garbage algorithm? Your wish is granted, now you have to use this new proprietary algorithm that has a major flaw that will be discovered just after you get comfortable with it.

    You want to be able to change audio devices with just two clicks? Wish granted, but the apps just use whatever device they wanted anyway and now the sound control panel (the only guaranteed way to change devices) is buried even further in the UI.

    You want more control over your updates? Wish granted, but now your OS is an agentic OS
