  • I need to vent about Windows. I want workplaces to use Linux.

  • my boss told me today if we moved to literally any non-microsoft platform or software, i'd be out of a job.

    and he's right. most of us only have careers because microsoft can't push out a software that's more than barebone functional - and everyone use them even if there are far superior alternatives out there literally only because of familiarity.

    i'm not planning to stop giving microsoft shit of course. they should be criminally prosecuted over their exchange service even and how it's blacklisting competitors to force businesses onto the platform a la microsoft classic tactics. but eh.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

  • i realize i haven't been able to send files for years now because all the p2p platforms have disappeared.

  • i've been saying that about microsoft windows for about two decades and yet here we still are.

  • Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding

  • dude, people literally ate nothing but potatoes and milk for the longest time. it's the direct reason why we had industrialization at all. because people could live off milk and potatoes without owning large plots of land. it was revolutionary. so i find it very hard to believe that we would be consuming more dairy nowadays versus our ancestors, who literally had nothing else to eat.

  • just like how people keep complaining about facebook groups.

    they uprooted every community and hobby discussion board ever and move them to a platform that doesn't support distribution of information then moan that it's just spam and repeated engagement content.

  • Why nobody else bought twitter before?

    Jump

  • watch musk turn the "savings" from "DOGE" efforts into a gov purchase of twitter at twice what he paid, with the argument that they plan to nationalize a digital platform for communication between politicians and voters, while tying a privatized transactions system to the platform where he siphons a small percentage of every transactions ever done by an american henceforth.

  • If nothing happens after we die, what's the point of it all?

  • a game-o-sopher. when life gives you shitty loot, change the difficulty settings.

  • the number of trees I've punched in life is more than zero.

  • How does social media generate revenue?

    Jump

  • most businesses have to run ads to turn a profit. part of the equation of every sale you make comes down to a finely balanced cost of ads vs the profit on sales of the product or service, if the cost of advertising is higher than the product, it's a product that basically just won't enter the market (yay capitalism). so ads companies like google or facebook are essentially forcing most businesses around the globe to pay them a percentage on each and every product or service sold.

  • everyone is well aware that screenshots can be easily faked.

  • Trump administration to cut billions in medical research funding

    Jump

  • i mean, isn't their whole argument that capitalism will do a much better job at innovation and progress so there is really no reason for the government to fund research.

    they should get rid of NASA too, while they're at it. let the private market (elon's own spacex) fund their research.

  • Trump says he's firing Kennedy Center board of trustees members and naming himself chairman

    Jump

  • republicans have been supporting the ukraine invasion since day 1, so i doubt it.

  • Nintendo patent explains Switch 2 Joy-Cons’ “mouse operation” mode

    Jump

  • disagree. the wiimote was on a different level altogether. with amazing response time and accuracy. and the great many games that did take good advantage of them.

    i had hopes that the joycons would be a good replacement to finally bring back the fun physical element of old wii; since it came with sports and all that. but holy hell they are so bad. not only are they bad, the quality is shit. 16 years later everyone's wii motes still work, joiycons tho? i've had to replace 4 so far and i've had the console for what, 2 years?

    the joycon detachment is such a lie, they should have just bundled a standard controller and left the joycons permanently attached to all devices.

  • the world has too many right wing govs currently to handle any fallout form such efforts. they no doubt don't see benefits; they just have no idea how to actually govern and are just in it for the cash.
