  • Yep I had 95 on floppy. It was like 30 disks. That installation was hell, you had to sit there and swap disks for several hours.

  • Remember, if you want to receive today’s ration of insect mush, you have to post on X with your daily Elon-positive affirmations!

  • DW is a trustworthy and quality public news agency like BBC or PBS, so of course they want to ban it. DW reports accurately on the war with Ukraine.

  • 34k?!, not sure where in EU you are but maybe consider looking at price to have it done in a cheaper country, somewhere in eastern or southern Europe?

  • Maybe, but logically they should be taxed on revenue, right? I mean, that’s how we’re taxed as individuals. We don’t get to pay nothing because we took our whole salary and reinvested it into real estate or something. But they do.

  • 30-35% is about what Americans pay too in personal income taxes, but this is talking about taxes paid by businesses, which are unsustainably low in the states right now.

  • Because this is a tax on assets and not income it seems to me that there could be some unfair situations, for example you inherit a property that is not so easy to sell and are now taxed on it, or you have shares/stocks in your startup company and are now taxed on it even though you haven’t sold them (and quite possibly can’t sell them).

    I believe it would be better to tax income while closing some of the loopholes like allowing borrowing money against stocks and properties.

  • Literally every company’s “corporate culture” right here. Assemble a room full of people who know what they’re doing, then boss man dictates what should be done with his very limited information, all the while not listening to said people who know what they’re doing, because ThE pRoJeCt, or the ScHeDuLe, or the shareholders, or fucking whatever. Truly, American capitalism cannot be perfected upon.

  • Kinda wonder if the RCS push from apple and google is too little, too late. Doesn’t everyone talk to their whole crew on messenger apps these days? 90% of my contacts are on telegram and the rest use whatsapp. what possible incentive is there to use sms?

  • I would argue that travel to North Korea - the world’s most repressive totalitarian state, with a lengthy history of violent subjugation - is inherently risky.

  • I guess all of these stores will be gone before too long as these days a large portion of the new consoles don’t have a disc drive at all.

  • This is the stupidest one, kudos. Take my upvote.

  • DeSantis is out of control and has regularly removed innocent Democratic politicians throughout Florida using statues that exist only to remove criminal wrongdoers and national security threats. He’s weaponised the system of appointments and operates in complete disregard for the law.

  • Alright fellow Oregonians, grab your torches and pitchforks, we meet at OP’s house tomorrow.

  • How fucking stupid do you have to be to voluntarily visit North Korea?

  • I take one of these drugs, Farxiga - I’m diabetic. It’s listed here at $556 a box, I was paying almost $400 a month as my insurance copay in the states. Six months ago I moved to Portugal and here in the European Union it costs me 7 euros to fill that same prescription for 90 days. And that’s through the Public Health Service; I don’t have private health care at all!

  • What if I told you, you can pay money for spyware
