There is no need for the internet to use remote start

Oh well it’s like it never happened then!

Clearly no government agency is going to do shit about the price gouging, so why would they stop?

I said it intentionally backwards. If I 'm now missing a joke in your comment I apologize. :)

You know that old adage, “You either die the villain or live long enough to become the hero.”

:D

I’m not usually a stickler for adhering closely to meme “rules” but this one drives me batty. I never have the courage to correct folks though, so have your lemmy gold!

It’s almost like they have a terrible track history and hold the gold medal for antitrust and enshitification.

To be fair, there is a young up and comer in that space. They could challenge the enshittification GOAT.

Plenty of good reasons existed for that wariness, and if they are doing this now it’s because it benefits MS in some way. Maybe they just got sick of maintaining it and figured they’d buy some goodwill.

I typed that before reading the article then saw this:

Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork. That work is now complete, and we recommend that active Mono users and maintainers of Mono-based app frameworks migrate to .NET which includes work from this fork.

Here you go Wine devs, we’re cleaning our our garage, and by the way, we would really like folks to continue to be hooked to the MS teat of .net instead. Please keep maintaining this for us. Aren’t we great?

Every one of these Microsoft controversies since I ditched them has just validated my decision.

All good!

Oh I completely agree with that. I was essentially saying “it’s bad things presented with nice words” - I was just trying to be nice about how I said it. Sorry if that didn’t come across. 🙂

It all sounds like some very reasonable language, and yet no other countries raised the same objection, including not only countries we are not allied with and don’t generally seem to respect, but also countries we are allied with and do generally seem to respect.

I read it as “hey guys let’s all agree to do this thing, and then we can figure out the details” and US is the singular guy in the meeting who is like “nope, we can’t agree to do it until we’ve split every hair about exactly how it will be done.”

Fuck Spez!

They jumped the shark when Buzz Out Loud ended.

And workers…

It’s a little bit ironic to me that the security company formerly run by the man who literally wrote the book on social engineering may have fallen victim to a social engineering attack.

Seriously!

This one never really gets old anymore.

Not sure, but 20 month old toddler…

My god American regulation is so idiotic sometimes!!!

Dude, some person made that meme, and that person chose to use asterisks. It’s no more complicated than that.

What’s it say? Go find yourself? Go Fill yourself? IDK is this some game you Americans have where you have to guess the word

Apparently our ability to figure out a word from context is pretty much higher than yours though.

I think this should be posted as a comment to every article about this.

You know how I know my maga relative lost everything he tried to “invest” in crypto? Because he suddenly STFU about it.

They are the worst of the worst, and I will never use an instance that voluntarily federates with Threads. I respect MS more than Meta, and that’s a pretty incredible feat on the part of Meta.

Remember, you’ve already got the generation of folks who watched the transition to computers that were supposed to make their lives “easier” become instead “you are expected to do far more with your workday because we made it easier for you.”

Right now it looks like “wow it will lighten my workload” but what it will look like in the end is “now we can expect more productivity per the same unit time from our workers.”

I’d love to be wrong, but 1% gonna 1%.

Why would they ever stop with their ridiculous bullshit? As far as I can tell they get no pushback from users because the masses just roll blissfully along, and the tech-knowledgeable who still use Windows just find out how to disable the things they don’t like, shrug, and move along.

It’s really clear by now that you are nothing but a datamine for MS if you are a home user, right?

How do I so strongly recognize this but can’t recall what it’s from!!??

Win2K was the last version of Windows I liked. By 2007 I’d had enough of their shit and moved to Linux. Each and every year since then has validated that choice, as desktop Linux has improved and Windows has enshittified further and further.

I used up all my hate when Apple did it. I still think Apple lied about their reasoning (waterproofing and space), which pisses me off more than the other complaints, many of which I also agree with. (some of those reasons were even more valid when considering the overall state of the tech at the time)

However, at this point a big portion of the market has adjusted and accepted (to varying degrees), and that first change is so far in the past that I don’t know that I can muster up a lot of hate for mfrs who are taking away headphone jacks today when instead of upending the market they are following market trends.

Having said that, I’d be willing to bet that a larger than typical percentage of Fairphone purchasers would really like to have a headphone jack.

edit - purchasers not purchases

Any time! :)

If the script was supposed to wait 30 secs and then unblock the ports, running with nohup would have allowed the ports to be unblocked 30 secs later. Instead, the script terminated when the SSH session died, and never executed the countdown nor unblock.

Fucking broadcom.

How about WOPR?

We’ve really been weighing whether we use Netflix enough to justify the cost lately. Don’t push us, Netflix.
