wordpad has always been gimped to keep it from taking any sales away from word. if microsoft wasn't worried about wordpad, they would have tossed a spellchecker into it back in the 1990s (when wordpad replaced write) and it would, ya know.. still exist (in upcoming versions of windows).

wordpad gets kicked to the curb because microsoft thinks they can sell a few more office subscriptions if the most basic of word processors wasn't included with windows.

meanwhile. notepad, the basic text editor that lacks even the basic formatting features found in wordpad, gets the spellchecker users have wanted in wordpad since windows write for windows 1.0

'my owner. after losing tug-o-loaf---again'

when i last used tubi (probably 5-6 months ago), i got zero ads. via a tv app and pihole.

i spent a number of years in south texas. yea, i missed it.. but i missed the northern summers more.

aside from the (singular) week's worth of cold and snow we've gotten, this past winter 'up north' has been more like the south texas winters i remember.

someone spycheck already, dammit!

MEDIC!!!!

they're just trying to con people into using the new data harvesting mail app by calling it 'outlook'

you don't even need a player script; browsers today can play media on their own.

and scripts with added features is a very crowded market.

new ui is literal trash.

media formats it already does, and it is expected to support nearly everything. but as far as a front-end for whatever tf they're planning--there are plugins and extensions already, it should be there. not in the base code.

i still use a 'dumb' phone. it gets replaced when it physically breaks to the point it's falling apart. i'm on my sixth one in 22 years. two of those were used on a second line i no longer have.

the legislation that needs to get passed, cannot, unless and until the house majority swings about 20 points the other way and the sliver of a majority in the senate is boosted by at least another 10.

tracking, ads, cookies, probably bot detection, too. they want it all running and enabled.

fuck 'em. on desktop, i just drag over the headline and search via right click menu for an alternate site that re-publishes nyt articles or has one that covers the same thing.

surely they could have shaved-off 500 megabytes out of... what? 150 gigabytes... of game content and media just from better compression or optimization of those files.

d.c. has never, ever awarded its electoral votes to a republican candidate.

My toilet latrine posture is pristine you philistine

all he thinks he needs to do whatever tf he wants is his sharpie and a change-of-address to 1600 penn av nw.

UFLPA Entity List - https://www.dhs.gov/uflpa-entity-list

they were placed on it last year. specifically, this section:

A list of entities working with the government of Xinjiang to recruit, transport, transfer, harbor or receive forced labor or Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, or members of other persecuted groups out of Xinjiang

the hatred and pettiness amongst the far-right knows no bounds.

this woman that they hate so much is over 8 months into her one year term as the association's president. elections for the position are held a year in advance. her successor, to take over in july, has been known spring of last year

the bill appears to be even more damaging.......

dissolve the state board for the certification of librarians and remove certification and continuing education requirements;

so any nutjob of their choosing can now be a public or school librarian in that state.

"got mine, fuck you---and your children and children's children, too."

if they had actual sales or revenue to brag about, they would have.
