  • TBH, I support him more now than I did in the 2020 election, having seen him in office. He's working the system to get some stuff done, even with the clown show congress he is presiding over. Is he perfect? No. But no elected official is ever going to be perfectly aligned with what everyone wants, unfortunately. Maybe we can get AOC to run in 2028?

    But yes, the alternative of Trump basically dismantling the government and replacing it with some crazed shitshow is definitely a motivating factor too.

  • This is kinda genius, lol

  • I would absolutely send him an email to the effect of

    "Per our multiple verbal conversations, this is just to serve as notice that, in my professional opinion, your refusal to allow me to upgrade a system at risk of multiple security vulnerabilities on a platform that is no longer supported is a risk that you are choosing to accept against my advise."

    with a list of known major vulnerabilities attached if possible.

    That way at least if this comes back to bite the company on the ass, he can't say "Well he never told me this was a problem!"

  • Wow, I totally see what you did there!

    Spot the difference

  • As opposed to out in broad daylight, mid-interview and mid-speech, like Trump?

  • Yeah, it's a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it's not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿

  • Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a "moderate" Democrat who, while he's gotten a surprising amount done, isn't exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.

  • Why the hell can't we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿

  • To me this sounds like either your GPU acceleration is off or is choking somehow. I’d start with checking your GPU acceleration settings and updating your drivers if they aren’t the latest. If that doesn’t work, maybe try FF with a fresh config to see if it’s a setting you’ve enabled?

  • I saw the Marques Brownlee review of this and I have no idea why they actually released it to market? It looked so wildly undercooked.

  • Let's do it slightly differently, let's make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.

    Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.

  • Huh. I used it pretty much since the start and I certainly don't recall it being that bad? Like you got a lot of relevant content up front usually.

  • All we want is 1990s Google, guys. That's really all we want. None of this AI BS that kind find a country in Africa that starts with a K, just Google without the evil enshitification layer on top.

  • Browsers love it!

    Practically anything you write will execute without all that scope and well formed statements nonsense.

    Mind you, number 2 is also its biggest flaw as well, but…

  • True, just observing that it's happening much faster now than it did for the preceding iteration of Windows.

  • The enshitification of Windows compared to macOS has really accelerated a lot recently it seems. I work with both daily and it is weird and irritating how much extra crap keeps getting hurled willy-nilly into Windows updates this last year.

  • That’s how you know the privacy protections are working. Meta won’t let you in if they can’t identify you well enough to sell your data.

  • So obviously not to everyone's taste but if you have access to iCloud+ email, your mail isn’t scanned for sale (as per their US privacy agreement anyway), you get randomized email addresses available to give to places that you think might be spammy and you can link a domain to your account, although you’re only allowed 3 email boxes per user in your family per domain. Works well for me so far. Mind you because of photo storage size and devices backups I’m up to $3/ month from the original $1/month when I started.

    Plus with Advanced Data Protection a lot of iCloud info is E2E encrypted. (Not email tho.)

  • Ouch. They should either change the font or just ban 44 globally.
