If you can’t own digital copies since they’re not property, then piracy isn’t theft.

Upgrading from windows 7 to Linux is still free

Obligatory

It's a war of attrition. Slow and steady will win this race.

Lemmy, just like Mastodon has seen spikes followed by users leaving. But every spike leaves more users on Lemmy/Mastodon than previously.

Truthfully, in the event another Reddit Exodus, which will happen, we need to try and be more of a content-oriented system during that era. Making more posts and focusing on adding to niches.

Reddit is about Niche communities and Content Saturation. Lemmy isn't really about that, but it can be for moments at a time to pull users in. At some point we'll reach a critical mass of users that leads to easier justification for new users to join.

We just need a group of extremely disorganized and disagreeable people to organize and and agree on this.

oh no

This technically makes this an ad for adblockers. Which, by enabling an adblocker, will disable said ad.

Truthfully, putting the homeless in a safe warm place that enables them to have access to a library at night sounds like a smart combo.

No. Stop.

This is the definition of interrupting your enemy when they're making a mistake.

Let them kill windows 10, I have atleast 5 friends ready to switch to linux when Windows 10 hits EOL.

This is it. This is 100% it.

“I suffered, so should you.”

The American dream.

But I thought you said E2E encryption a danger to national security, hmm?

You said you wanted a backdoor, didn’t you?

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear, right? Right?

Standard double standard bullshit.

Then the minimum wage needs to stop being an arbitrary number every couple of decades.

It needs to be a calculation, but the rich will never allow that.

The SteamDeck is my favorite purchase of last year.

Literally the best PC I've ever owned.

"We will have equal rights for all. Except blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Jews, gays, women, Muslims. Uhmm...Everybody who's not a white man. And I mean white-white, so no Italians, no Polish, just people from Ireland, England, and Scotland. But only certain parts of Scotland and Ireland. Just full blooded whites. No, you know what? Not even whites. Nobody gets any rights. Ahhh...America!"

"I am driving a lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK"

"My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has BLINDING WHITE LED headlights positioned EXACTLY at EYE LEVEL. "

"I am currently TAILGATING you in the RIGHT LANE even though you’re going TWENTY MILES AN HOUR over the speed limit and the LEFT LANE is OPEN."

"There are MONSTER ENERGY and FOX RACING stickers on the rear windshield of my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK."

"There are PERFECTLY CLEAN mud tires and MASSIVE CHROME RIMS on my lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK."

"I make THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS a year and thought that that was a WISE FINANCIAL DECISION."

"I bring cases of BUD LIGHT to girls at high school parties while my wife and children are at home."

"My lifted DODGE RAM TRUCK has a GUN RACK which holds the AR-15 that I bought at WAL-MART."

"YETI COOLERS kick ass!"

While I see an extensive amount of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" and do agree that this is the typical logic of Microsoft.

It's obvious this is to try and avoid getting hit with similar monopoly accusations that their competitors are receiving.

"Look, Look!! We support other Operating Systems! We have a guide! We're not a monopoly! See, See!!"

Ah yes, that classic “freedom of speech” they’re always yelling about.

I had a cat that literally broke into my family's house, he was our neighbor's cat, so we put him back out and thought he went home. This repeated several times.

We eventually found out our neighbors threw him out in favor of keeping a pitbull. The cat then moved in permanently.

The best days of the internet are behind us.

I never wanna hear a critic ever tell me a character is too "one dimensional" and "lacking in humanity" to be realistic after all of this.

Is it because replacing employees with AI results in a never-ending cascade where your stupid system doesn't keep consuming because AI don't consume and won't get paid?

Or is it because using AI will result in the climate to continually become more inhospitable?

Maybe it will be because AI will be used to create more and more believable misinformation that results in WW3?

Unions.
