This doesn’t qualify. Slavery is still in use in the world. You’d have to use a modifier like American slavery or the enslavement of x, y, z, people.

🤣 been a while since I’ve heard the song.

Seriously tho how fucking stupid is the entire microsoft staff top to bottom? How can everyone’s first response to this announcement be “well this fixed a problem that didn’t exist” while everyone at Microsoft was either like, “yeah great job” or “yeah this will totally smoke screen the attention away from us fixing the actual problem for the 25th year in a row.” Fuck all things Microsoft. I’m so sick of their fuckin shit.

Shovel 14 tons what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don’t you call cuz I anit home. I owe my soul to the company store.

Work has too many variables that make it shitty to think the grass is greener just by changing the location you work in. I’ve switched industries drastically a couple times and returned to some and feel strongly that people of the similar flock together. So even if you changed the people you work for or with by mowing towns, but dont change careers, it’s likely your next job will have the same personality types as the people you currently hate working for.

Theyre government ran programs. People expect them to operate with the efficiency of any normal business. The problem is businesses operating to the rules of a “free” market are driven by entirely different rules than the ones driving a government ran program.

In the government, program funding is dictated by the people in office and their political alignments. First looking at a scenario where the people in office are in support of a program the following outcomes usually happen: 1. Program is successful resulting in stagnant budget growth when times are good and budget cuts when times are bad. 2. Program is unsuccessful resulting in the people in office responsible for the program being unable to call the failing program a failure so they advocate for increasing the budget. Every raise and tier of compensation to the employees is decided in DC and eliminates all shreds of performance or tenure based raises. Employees working for government programs have absolutely no reason to want to excel at their job.

The concept is completely futile. Inprovments only come when enough people get so sick and tired of a program’s incompetencies that people protest or the media catches wind to make it a talking point important enough to affect elections.

It’s the foundation to Marge Simpson’s sisters on the Simpson’s and how they are shown working at the DMV. Incase you needed supporting citation for my opinion.

I’m also not commenting as any advocate for either political side nor am I implying “there’s no difference between the right and left.” I’m simply saying the foundation that government programs must adhere to will never produce an efficient operating environment for any program to succeed under.

What a stupid brand icon for super cell. Horrible font and horrible design. You shouldn’t have to soung out a brand icon image to figure out the brand name.

One that put in power people who would have reconsidered drafting the conclusion magnet Tua Tagovailoa. /s

Fuckin Arcade, NY is scumbag central. From the cops to the meth heads anyone with a shred of dignity gets out of the shit hole young and never looks back. What’s left gets dumber, lazier, slower and uglier by every passing generation. Fuck Arcade, NY.

I mean, noone used reddit 10 years ago. To a 37 year old like myself, that seems like the reddit shit blew up out of nowhere. Youtube is just a matter of time and outcome of future google break up cases before a legitimate competition comes for its industry share. FB will die with the boomers. The only one I see as a really unmovable object is Twitter because of the universal use by all major sports media/reporting/journalists. It’s the only one with end users applying the platform in any comercial sense outside of marketing. I think the question OP is asking will on the reliance of one of the other platforms falling.

Just my opinion tho so take it with a grain of salt.

I wanna say there is a hierarchy of enforcability to trademarks, copyrights and patents on top of their application requisites. I also think that Patents are sort of the top tier that all regulations apply to with a trickle down effect in how they apply to TM’s and C’s. Don’t quote me on it tho. I’m going off the time at work years ago when the idea of patenting or tradmarking a thing. I might also be mixing it up with how they regulate Trademarks vs Registered Copyrights.

I more amazed the most used gpu on steam still isn’t enough to crack the top 30. I assumed Steam represented most all PC gamers. Has AI really affected commercial work stations that much where most companies are buying work stations with high end gpu’s? Or thst my understand that workstations generally didn’t require anything more than an integrated gpu at most.

Awe shit we made it, fellow defederation fam! An article reporting on a lemmy/mastodon post from a couple days ago being posted back on the platform it was sourced from lol! The first time I’m seeing this happen in the wild since leaving reddit. There should be a name for this, like a Grandslam Repost but without the negative connotations that come with the term repost. I’m thinking like a phrase to show its a badge of honor not a badge of shame.

I think that is undercutting the prime requirement to be in a cult… too dumb to question shit like that.

There is no such thing as good winter drivers and bad winter drivers. There is only those with snow tires and those without.

Best: 4 snows on awd and 2-4 water softener bags of salt in trunk for weight and getting unstuck.

2nd best: 4 snow on awd

3rd best: 2 snow on front wheel drive with 4 salt bags in trunk/bed.

4th best: awd no snows but good tread

Worst: fuckin everything else.

Household tips: insulate your pipes if in unfinished basement or have a heater running for really cold days or if the pipes will not have water FLOWING/RUNNING/MOVING thru pipes i.e. you go on vacation.

Plastic wrap your windows every fall. It sucks but helps a ton keeping heat in and costs down.

Spend the most money on gloves, hats and boots. Things that can’t be layered and get rhe coldest.

Hot hands/heat pouches are life savers for winter sports/sporting events/hunting/camping. They make them in foot shaped stick on versions for boots, put one in each of your pants pockets and one each in your coat pockets.

Keep spare salt, shovel, gloves, hat, blanket, granola bars and water in your car for when you WILL go off the road and need to wait for AAA.

Don’t fuck around with ice. Don’t try and walk across it without losing balance. Dont try and walk across it because you think it’s thick enough to hold you. If you are going on ice over water DONOT until you have drilled to check thickness or it is a large bodybif water that publishes the ice thickness.

Yes, snowmobiles can hydroplane across bodies of water.

Yes, skiis and snowboards can skate across bodies of water.

DO FUCKING NOT FUCKING TRY AND FUCKING HYDRO-FUCKING-PLANE OR SKI/SNOWBOARD ACCROSS ANY BODIES OF WATER.

Insert family guy meme when he walks out of the stem cell clinic, “why aren’t we funding this?!?!”

As I said in my higher comment, I’d pay for this type of elevated privlege option to see what is being moderated.

I agree. I wish there was a way that moderating existed but you could have the option to see what is being moderated. Fuck I’d even pay premium for that type of elevated privilege option.

Meh Firefox is very customizable but not a ton of settings really for critical privacy, compatibility or optimization.

Chrome and all Google services can get fucked for just the amount of sites, pages, sub-accounts you have to navigate thru JUST to turn off their tracking bullshit.

I think I have my android and PC as fully isolated from any Google account, software, service or operation short of going full Root of phone and Linux. Which, Linux is on my todo list to go daily driver-Linux and 2ndary boot drive-Windows.

For now tho, local user Windows account and all google accounts and apps either un-installed or disabled on the phone.
