just build a wall around the state of oklahoma, don't let anyone out. done.

years ago i read that the reason for the lopsidedness of the cursor was because of the old crt monitors. it just looked better having two edges being 'straight'; one exactly vertical up and down, one exactly horizontal, left to right; as those edges would have no 'jaggies'

rotating the pointer straight-up makes it look even more off-kilter.

the little purple desktop buddy could come back now.. powered by ai

the recent changes to thunderbird are welcome improvements. you should give it another shot.

the standalone office application called 'outlook' is still existing.. (for now, and until microsoft comes up with a way to fk that up too)

some moron at microsoft just decided it would be a good idea to dilute the strength of the outlook name by using it on webmail and the new (cr)app version in windows.

me neither, but ima start using it where appropriate. like a passing farewell to the asswipe that parks his obnoxious suv in front of my building all day, every day. is 2 hour parking only but he's buddies with a local cop so they never ticket him--only anyone else that dare park in 'his' spot.

climate change gonna mess things up. can't have '6 more weeks of winter' if winter hasn't even started yet.

i maintain redirects for old URLs for which the content still exists at another address. i've been doing that since i started working on web sites 20-some years ago. not many take the time to do that, but i do. so there's at least a few web sites out there that if you have a 20 year old bookmark to, chances are it still works.

's mode' is the 'no way back' wall you can disable.. stupidly requiring a microsoft account to do--in order to install stuff on your pc without needing a damn microsoft account in the first place. 's mode' is becoming more common on higher-end hardware now, too, not just the cheap atom-based crap with emmc and 4gb ram. i've seen it on i5 laptops, ffs.

the other is a setting, which is just a scary 'warning' about installing programs from outside the garden, that you can change.

it's not just windows, and not just edge. i just installed firefox mobile on a guy's android phone because even on msn.com (which he reads for 'news' daily. it's about his only online activity) via chrome they hide the annoying 'continue reading' button and have an even more annoying 'continue reading in the app' one in its place. added a firefox link directly to that page on his home screen. he's a happy camper now. the less-annoying one is back and he (for the time being, anyway) is no longer pressured into installing yet another app-that-just-shows-a-fucking-web-page app. also having a ublock-origin enabled browser now is just the icing on the cake.

because you are the can opener operator.. and they know this, because they tried to do it themselves. and failed. that's why all that stuff got knocked off the kitchen counters.

probably half underwater, loaded down with debt; and the rest, likely falling apart in need of significant renovations.

who am i kidding? it's likely all loaded down with debt.

"vlad, ol buddy, o pal-o-mine.. i need some money."

"me too," replies the russian. "nyet!"

plenty of users are uninstalling at one site's (yt) demand... instead of just whitelisting instead.

19 time loser, i think, in HoF elections, too. 15 during main eligibility, plus committee votes since.. didn't even make the final ballot last year.

he will likely die before it's paid off (especially if interest accumulates). the real 'sentence' is being reminded each paycheck.

technically, it was the morons giving the money to the pac and campaign.

when he actually pays bills out of his own wallet... that would be news.

lemmy.sdf.org's cert expired today. perhaps a problem with their lets encrypt script, which should be renewing automatically and a bit early, so that issues can be addressed before this happens.

i've watched more than a few shows that have been brutally hacked into wide format from the original 4:3. the practice is horrible. they need to stop pulling that shit and let the viewer decide whether to crop the frame or not--or put a proper pan & scan up instead of a blind hack job and leave the original format available, too.

that effect is amplified in areas with only shit-tier internet, like half of rural america.
