Biden admits to taking drugs before the debate.

Jump

  • If the point of taking drugs is to "enhance your performance" then Biden took every drug he should NOT have taken before that debate.

    • EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software

  • Thanks to badly written software, you can literally design "planned obsolescence" into your products.

    "The computer says you need to replace your 15,000 dollar battery pack."

    "But my car is only six months old!"

    "Yeah, but the Computer SAYS-"

    • USA presidential candidates

    Jump

  • Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

    • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines

    Jump

  • Yup. Gaming was one of the few things that kept me from switching to Linux. Then, I found out about Proton on Steam.

  • Copilot / Recall was the last straw for me. My only relationship with Microsoft for the last 10 years has been, "how much more of Microsoft's sh*t am I willing to put up with?"

    • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

    Jump

  • I got the "It's time to upgrade to Windows 11" message on my Windows 10 laptop. It's getting aggravating.

  • You can get laptops on Amazon now with Ubuntu pre-installed. :)

    • Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box

  • Also, make sure your password contains L's, 1's, 0's and O's in a font deliberately chosen to make them hard to tell apart.

    • India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026

    Jump

  • Yup. With VOIP, you can spoof any phone number. If this technology were fixed, 99% of spam calls would disappear, and Caller ID would be worth something again. Our government is either too lazy or bought-off to fix this problem.

    They DID enact the national Do Not Call list and created heavy fines for people who violate that list, while knowing full well that they couldn't catch the spammers in the first place (because of VOIP spoofing).

  • "Free ad-supported" makes you no different than a hundred other garbage-tier streaming services.

    • FCC hits Verizon with $1M fine for dropping 911 calls, again • The Register

    Jump

  • Yup, the fine needs to be much higher. People could have died because of this.

    The entire point of fines is that they're punitive. They're supposed to HURT. To make you change your behavior and not do the Bad Thing again.

    If fines don't even make a dent in your daily profits, then laws become nothing more than suggestions. They become just a cost of doing business.

    • The new Chinese owner of the popular Polyfill JS project injects malware into more than 100 thousand sites

    Jump

  • This is probably connected to China cloning the entire GitHub website to their own servers.

  • "Let them fight."

    • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

    Jump

  • I finally switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago. CoPilot/ Recall was the last straw.

    • Also "parasite".

  • It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

    • Leg day, bros

    Jump

  • When you're a centipede, EVERY day is Leg Day!

  • Whoever is downvoting this needs to have an encounter with the U.S. legal system, so they find out how little their precious freaking "rights" are worth.

    • Visions of a Post-Apocalyptic Internet: The Future of Democratized Information

    Jump

  • It will definitely be decentralized. The biggest blows to real representative democracy happened when the courts made the "corporations are people / money is speech" arguments.

    • Sorry I can't do it.

    Jump

  • I switched to Linux Mint a few weeks ago and I'm not having any problems with games. Everything in my Steam library plays fine.

    • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?

    Jump

  • Now ask yourself if there's any real, physical proof that Zeus, Thor or Anakin Skywalker ever existed.
