Rust is just iron oxide, it's not a big deal in food in small quantities.

Though alloys containing chromium might be a different story.

Yeah I don't know what's worse, cozying up to dictators or looking for 'commies' behind every curtain.

Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.

Nah. Anything else would have resulted in him going home sans interview tape. Putin is not dumb enough to start another Khasoggi style incident.

Carlson's a total sycophant yeah but he wouldn't be murdered. Putin just doesn't have anything to gain by that.

I wonder if that's not a miscalculation. To assume that people who are Jewish are automatically in favour of Netanyahu. Even in Israel itself his popularity has dropped a lot, I've seen big demonstrations in the news.

Wouldn't he have his election campaign coffers already full up at this stage?

And after that it doesn't matter anymore, he's not going to run for president again whether he wins or loses.

Also: bypass-paywalls-clean :) I didn't even notice it was paywalled until I sent the link to a friend and she told me it was paywalled 😆

The best way to make federation work is by users not even having to know or care. Do users even know email is federated? No, they just sign up with a provider and it works. Same with the phone network, sign up somewhere and you can call everyone in the whole world.

I think part of the reason that users don't get it is that the federation is sometimes explained too much.

Beehaw sets a really good example here because it doesn't really promote itself as a lemmy instance but as a unique community that just happens to be connected.

A bit disingenious if you promote your protocol as the future of federated socials though.

Meh. Not for me. Either fully federated or not.

I don't like the twitter format anyway. Lemmy is way better.

They can just not pay them back, defaulting basically.

But then their ratings will go down (a LOT) and basically they will not be able to loan any more, at least not on favourable terms because the market doesn't trust them anymore.

I think the fine is way too high for someone like him that didn't actually make millions of the modchips involved. He's really a fall guy, not a figurehead. It's pretty unfair of the US court system to make an example of him like this. Yeah he did a bad thing but no, he should not be fucked for life just because the real leaders are out of their grasp.

It this kind of thing that's the reason I'll never consider moving to the US (and I don't even like visiting). Its society is just too harsh for me.

PS: I do have to say his name is super funny, sorry 🤭

Well yes but GPOs overrule registry settings (if a user or the OS flips a registry setting, the GPO will switch it back on the next reboot).

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm just saying I shouldn't have to decrap a piece of software I actually paid for. Over and over. Also, whenever they introduce some new crap it usually comes with new GPOs that also have to be enabled to remove it again. It's like whack-a-mole.

Obtuse? Sure! Features that shouldn’t be hidden behind an upgraded license? Hell fucking yes!

This is what I was saying really. This crap should never have been there in the first place as it's consumer-hostile.

Impossible? Fuck no, hell no.

I never said this :) I said it was annoying having to do it every time. Yeah I have pro. And I know what GPOs are. But really, you can't expect an average consumer to do this. Also, it's less work to just change things back manually every time than to figure all the GPOs needed. It's really just super annoying that it happens in the first place. I expect software I buy to be made to help me, not work against me.

And I never mentioned Linux in my post even though I use it myself. I know this is not a suitable alternative for the majority.

Yeah and that didn't take very long. I mean how long was it since they started pushing the "new" edge until the crapware started showing up? Only a year or 2 IIRC.

I mean normally the rule of enshittification is that you wait inserting all the crap after people have started adopting your product. They didn't wait long enough. I always knew they would do it but at least I didn't have to wait long to be proven right.

Partly made by microsoft :P They put all the coupon scam and buy now pay later scams in it.

And do this every time the system gets a major update because it puts all the crapware right back 🫣

Ah ok I understand. Thanks! I didn't realise that, the fantasy genre isn't really for me so I hadn't followed much of the news.

Haha I posted the same but you beat me to it, I removed mine <3

I don't agree. Capitalism is and has always been about greed. It's why people invest, to get maximum profits and externalise all the negative side-effects.

I think capitalism works if it's balanced with socialism and strongly restricted by law as we used to do in the Netherlands and some EU countries still do. Unfortunately the Netherlands was lost to the neoliberals and now to the fascists :( But luckily I don't live there anymore.
