They're less funny to me when they're intentional/satire.

He promised to end the war before becoming president and, separately, to do so within 24 hours of taking office. He's definitely promised more than nothing and fallen short of doing what he did promise.

I know what you're going for, but accuracy is still important for some folks.

Depends on the flavor of the research. I'm all for still dying in my 70s but also am for being relatively fuckable until the very end.

I like how the bill defines "age verification process" but not "obscene device."

Seems like this this is "tobacco water pipe" instead of "bong" levels of trivial to circumvent by companies that suddenly sell an array of various sized tubular "back massagers" or realistic "artistic anatomic sculptures".

One could argue that proposing this bill has incited me to try IPTV now, before it becomes more risky to do so.

I could see a lot of practical reasons various departments would want to exclusively use official email addresses...but honestly, the guy just doesn't seem very smart or good at thinking things through.

I don't see it as a defeatist attitude about their situation. It's more about how they heard lemmy is a viable alternative, so are checking it out. That first interaction is a test drive. If it's janky at all, it gives the impression that lemmy less smooth of an experience, so go back to the perceived superior site. Using the site that offers the smoother experience is what they're doing about their situation.

I'm envisioning full cloud gaming. Games are all hosted in Azure. Device is just a thin client, and it becomes useless if you stop paying your subscription. Of course, it'd already be useless on flights and anywhere with spotty internet.

Has that perfect MS blend of being built on Windows, requiring a subscription fee, and totally missing the whole point of being a handheld.

Yeah, this sort of stuff strikes me as bad for the user affected and for .world, but good for lemmy overall. An active, competent user is being forced to post to non-LW communities exclusively.

I remember that user from YPTB. Absolutely made my day when people started ripping on the rambling way he writes.

It's fine for memes, news, and politics...but it's still pretty lacking in a lot of the smaller and more unique content that made reddit worth visiting regularly.

As much as you're okay with it, there's plenty of people who would like to see federated services grow enough to be established mainstream alternatives. How much complaining has there been that Bluesky took off as as the trendy twitter alternative instead of Mastadon?

Premium subscription that allows messaging people out of your network and provides a bunch of analytics about profile/article views. I know sales, marketing, and recruiting people that love it.

Sometimes they don't tell you and just quietly update all of their usernames...

This was more celebrating that a problematic email server was preventing new users from signing up.

Assuming it's because the user is stupid or lazy, that's the elitist part.

Exactly why he's doing it. The details matters less to him than beating other billionaires you mentioned at something, even if that something is abhorrent.

Someone at one of these massive companies needs to setup a seedbox in the datacenter (and cover their tracks internally) so when they try to use this justification, audits confirm that they'd actually been seeding a fuckton.

Men have a significant advantage over women when it comes to strenght and speed and in most (but not all) cases this applies to trans women as well.

Nothing about your comments indicates a willingness to change your mind. However, your statement above is the first concrete statement of the thread, so it seems like the onus would fall on you to support the claim, rather than /u/astro_city@fedio.io to refute it. If you make factual claims without evidence, nobody's especially obligated to provide evidence to tell you that your made-up facts are wrong.
