Did I say "only"?

Fascists are the most dangerous and frankly, alarmingly flooding the internet with their shit right now

"Magnitudes" is a borderline dangerous understatement of the difference in their output versus any other corner of political thought.

Hyper targeted advertising on the internet means you categorically will not be seeing anything close to the worst of it.

Of course it is.

Fascists can create the illusions they need to convince morons whilst at the same time making them distrust reality ("nah that's AI")

A lot of people are going to suffer

Sure that was a job and not a psychology experiment you were subjected to?

I was struggling to think of something I truly hate

I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don't really inspire hatered

This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar

It does actually seem like it's only the US for now

Unless I've misunderstood your comment

I like how foul language etc is halfway down the list

Damn here I was thinking Her was still a few years off

It's not a fraction, it's just the notation used for the aperture setting.

Edit: well, okay yes it is technically a fraction the decimal value is a function of focal length and aperture diameter

Simple, f1.4 isn't supposed to be the lowest

People who knew what they were doing with computers used Netscape until it died, those people went to Mozilla suite and then Firefox (well, Phoenix then Firebird then Firefox). But that was a shrinking minority of people on the internet at the turn of the millennium.

Practically everyone else used IE (90%+ of web traffic at its peak) and continued to do so until Google released Chrome and shone a light on how little Microsoft had been doing for nearly a decade.

Dominance was dominance however they got it, and they pissed it away through complacency, somewhat similarly to what they're doing now.

They had internet explorer dominance, they pissed that away

They had PC gaming OS dominance, they're now pissing that away

Sure, but it's the valiant choice.

A truly valiant leader probably wouldn't find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that

That wasn't the question I was answering, but I'm sure very few if any

Oh dear Microsoft, you had everything and you pissed it away again

Owning your actions and taking the consequences with grace

Screwdriver were a nazi punk band

Oh hey it's where this came from

Didn't he just announce he was going to run third party yesterday anyway?

I swear I read an article about that on here

If a dead thing would pickle, pretty much everything in the sea would end up pickled alive
