Sadly I did not, but I also just stopped seeking that kind of information after Biden won. I needed a break from the madness. Lol

I think I still need to back away to be honest… Being surrounded by MAGA and having two spiders fighting over a cockroach where my memory should be, any time I try to utilize what I’ve learned I just get shit all over by the firehouse of fox news b.s and the inability to remember things to refute it. I’m doing everyone a giant disservice by being another example of “a stupid liberal who has no idea what’s going on.”

I’ve known this was coming for years. Once Goursich was added it was known to those watching the courts exactly what would happen.

Before one of the hosts did the typical “become an unwanted sexual advance asshole” like everyone seems to become after they gain some fame, Opening Arguments podcast was a great way to learn about how depressing our future will be.

It’s absolutely fucking disgusting that no matter what the outcome SHOULD be, you can almost always call how this court will go simply by asking “what benefits the ultra wealthy and what have conservatives wanted forever?”

And in 2 years they’ll move to 3 tiers, free with ads, paid with slightly less ads and even more expensive than before but no ads…

Yeah but I’m a weirdo that actually likes early access games and random indie stuff that rarely works with Linux so a large part of what I like won’t work.

Also star citizen… lol

Microsoft is doing an amazing job keeping me off selling windows 11!

Keep up the great work!

Guess it’s time for Linux and for me to give up gaming :/

fucking seriously! Reading this absolutely disgusted me.

High Court usually gave deference to the agency to handle the details

I believe this is “Chevron Deference?”

The thing Goursich (and I believe previously his mother) wants absolutely dead. :/

5 years ago was the beginning/middle of the descent. It’s so much worse now. … plenty of fish is a streaming platform now. 🤮 🔫

I’m so unbelievably undesirable I’ve been on the apps long enough to watch the whole thing play out. Over the course of 10 years these apps have been absolutely tripping over themselves to become a shitty tinder 2.0 clone. All the offices now have “Always Enshittify” plastered on their walls as their daily affirmations since they were almost all bought by Match Group.

Okcupid wants $50 a month

“Hmmm. Why don’t we release another operating system after promising 10 would be the last for a long time, pull the rug out from under those that bought 10 and threaten them with lack of security so we force them to upgrade, and require they buy all new hardware! It’s not like the average person is struggling with the economy, I mean I just bought another yacht so I’m sure they’re just as fine. We’ll be drowning in money!”

Mmmmm… Ultra Ruben…

Rubin?! Doh!

This is not the timeline where we get to have nice things. This is the timeline where meta and xitter exist, billionaires rule, and teeth are just viewed as luxury bones.

“DDOS business”

…

“So what do you do for a living?”

“Oh I’m just a massive piece of shit, I own a business that ruins things for people.”

Which is exactly why I actually bought 10 instead of cheating an upgrade “hack” I figured out with XP that I then carried over to 10. I figured if it’s actually the last then it’s worth the 500 fucking dollars or whatever the hell it cost back then.

But no, they lied. I know surprise surprise a corporation lied.

Literally my first thought… Way to go Biden, nothing like getting hundreds of thousands of “influencers” mad at you right at an important election…

But who are we kidding, I can guarantee that maybe 5% of Congress even understood what they were doing.

and I’m worried it could allow the government to ban competition with US company competitors.

I want to give the benefit of the doubt and say they are concerned about getting programs running all over the country that can somehow “backdoor” a major issue into our network, but I not only don’t know enough about how feasible that is, I also strongly believe it’s as you feared. It’s what we get the government to do all the time: fuck with other countries to “protect” our major corporations…

Oh 100%.

If the options are “make gigantic profit” or “do what’s right for the future of humanity” do you even need to ask what we’re going to do?

When it’s mafia it’s extortion, when it’s ISPs it’s just “good business practices.”

Oooooo. I might try these! I’m not a cyclist, but I have a bit of an anxiety issue where I can’t have a sense completely cut off from the outside. I feel very uncomfortable when I have both ears covered and can’t really sense my environment.

I really want a VR set, but I know I won’t like having my vision cut off from “reality.” Stupid anxiety lol

To be honest I just see people commenting here and there that xyz game didn’t work for them and they have to jump through a bunch of hoops for what does work that I just write Linux off for now.

That and I tend to like to check out early access games (cough star citizen cough) so I just dont want to limit myself just to give Mi€ro$oft the finger.

Also, (see early access comment) I’m kind of impatient so even though I’m pretty capable, the last thing I want to do is have to be an IT guy for my PC every time something doesn’t work lol windows is pretty good in that respect.

Pretty much the only thing I use my PC for is gaming so it really sucks that I can’t just dump them for Linux…

I don’t want some games. I don’t want to have something I’ve been hyped about be out of reach for God knows how long just because Linux support is crap as the market share is so low, but man do i hate Microsoft…
