It’s the simplest conflict on the face of the planet. There is nothing complicated about it, just like the Holocaust was not a complicated thing to grasp. The problem is that no one is immune to propaganda. It’s why even mentioning China in the US makes people uneasy and abruptly stupid. Someone that might otherwise be one of the most articulate people you know, will suddenly become a 2-dimensional dipshit if you mention China, Israel, or Palestine. Undoing that indoctrination takes work—the kind of work a lot of folks are too lazy or busy to care about.
I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.
Why tf do people still buy these games? I have GamePass and still avoid them like the plague. The series hasn’t been good since like the first Black Ops.
I have one too and love that thing! Even as a programmer, I find the only time I use a computer is during work time. Otherwise I’m mostly on my Steam Deck.
Being the single OS that has had a chokehold on the prebuilt computer industry for ages doesn’t mean it’s popular. It’s also used in tons of workplaces where people don’t have a choice. High number doesn’t automatically correlate to “popular.”
Windows is basically malware now. My wife is forced to use W11 for work and she fucking hates it with a passion (and that’s the pared down IT version).
I pulled out my old gaming laptop that had been unplugged for quite a while and found it somehow updated itself to W11. I immediately wiped the computer and installed Nobara as the main OS. No regrets, no issues, and no half-assed bullshit.
Windows on the ASUS ROG Ally is absolute dog shit. It would constantly reboot to install unwanted updates that offered zero value on a handheld (let alone anything).
Nothing I own will ever run Windows.
Windows isn’t popular. It’s forced onto tons of prebuilt computers and most people wouldn’t know what to use instead. Fuck Windows. Rant over.
Tons of corporate software out there will record user sessions in order to debug issues and replay a user’s interactions so an engineer can review it. Take a look at tools like Hotjar, Logrocket, and Fullstory.
Not making excuses for them and it’s probably less insidious than this makes it out to be, but people should be aware that this is not uncommon at all.
Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.
Once you finally realize that America is one big collective scam and we’re simply seeing the paint scratch off and the old advertising fail on the new generations, it all makes sense. The working class exists here as a constant resource for the wealthy. We’re slaves that are finally discovering the end of the leash. They know the jig is up so now they’re fast-tracking all of the upward wealth shifts, while essentially trying to kill off or shut out our most vulnerable communities. They want the Israel model but without the universal healthcare (which we all pay for but can’t even get ourselves).
The US is the pot the ruling class reaches its grubby hands into whenever it needs money for wars and conquering other countries.
Yep, this is my setup. I did the whole *arr apps, Plex and Usenet setup for years, but hated dealing with storing the files. It also didn’t help when my 8TB drive decided to act up and make files inaccessible.
Now I stream everything through Stremio with RD+. Works on every device flawlessly.
Zen makes something like 84 external connections, which is around double what even Edge makes (and Microsoft has basically become a malware company).
