Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

“OH. We can’t afford THAT.”

It looks like Windows 10 is going to be my last Windows operating system. Thanks to Microsoft.

Punitive damages for killing a person have to be a hell of lot more than paying the cost of child support.

Mastodon is a much better alternative to Twitter/X.

Musk burned through 44 billion dollars to acquire Twitter and then he wrecked it. This is not a guy who has a plan. He only cares about that dopamine hit that getting his name in the news gets him. Now he’s got his own social media platform that only exists to blow him.

The problem with Trump is that he’s a known quantity to anyone who has lived on Earth for the last 50 years. He’s a compulsive liar, literally about everything and a vile, disgusting person, as well.

Knowing that, I would find it impossible to “just consider the facts” and believe that maybe . . . just maybe, this is the one time he’s telling the truth.

If he looks like a Nazi and he talks like a Nazi and he acts like a Nazi, then people will reasonably assume that he’s a f*cking Nazi and that’s how he should be treated until he gives us evidence to the contrary.

Agreed. Elmo is only in this because he wants that dopamine hit of attention that front-page news gets him. It’s why bought Twitter. Getting on the front page, just for a moment is all that matters to him.

Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires. It’s embarrassing to watch.

If a website stops working because it won’t let you block ads, then THEY’RE the one with the problem, not us. I won’t stop blocking advertising just because some company decides that my home is their place of business and says it’s “not allowed.”

The Internet is designed to route around damage (like the kind of damage caused by companies that try to make parts of it unusable). Folks will create new, open-source browsers, or flock to alternative websites that respect their privacy (and property).

Yup. Start by not using Google’s search engine. Use DuckDuckGo, instead.

Antifa literally means “anti-fascist.” Anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII was “antifa.”

And Scott Adams lost his f*cking mind years ago.

I would add the URL link to Lemmy Explorer, as well. A lot of the Lemmy mobile apps have “Lemmy.ml” as the default Instance login and it’s going to get dogpiled tomorrow if folks don’t have a way to search for their favorite community.
