I don’t use Edge BECAUSE they keep begging and throwing ads at me for it. It’s off putting, desperate and exactly what I don’t want.
I don’t use it because the Edge splash screen is chokka ads and news stories I don’t want.
I don’t use Edge because I find Bing annoying, and prefer duck duck go and google in that order, and I’m sick of constantly being nagged to use shit I don’t want.
Microsoft get it in your head, you are an operating system. Your job is to Operate MY system. Do that well. And by all means build more software, make it optional and installable by choice. If it’s good and works for me and not for you I will use it.
I don’t use Chrome either. It no longer works for me. It now works for Google first.
Ive recently downgraded Firefox from browser number 1 to number 2. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not the best.
Currently I’m enjoying Opera because it feels fresh and zippy and works for me , but I’m not loyal. Edge if you do good, maybe I will use you too. But stop your pathetic shit.
Really useful tool, especially it’s simplicity. No need for too many frills actually.
But just a note on your pricing, Microsoft Word has this built in and you get a whole word processor and their onenote and drive ecosystem for cheaper than your base package. There’s no way on this planet I would pay that, even if I used it professionally.

Not OP, but Linux isn’t much good for professional creative work. Would love to try it out, but without a functioning Adobe suite it’s not gonna happen.

Is it at all possible that instead of being pushed away, we are instead getting pulled toward something huuuuuge via gravity? As if we are falling into something way greater than ourselves?

So everything in space, every object had to get to where it is via time. It travelled there. Everything can’t be anywhere without time as without time it wouldn’t have been able to move there. Time is a constant graph, and as it moves forward, things move around and as such, space is able to exist. This is why we consider space and time to be linked.
Now consider this: if one was to plot a graph of space and time on an x y axis to track an object, there is a point on the graph where time has to be zero, and as such space has to be zero.
This is the big bang.
It is the beginning of the graph. When time was zero, and as such so was space.
Space did not burst out from a single point that we could find out there in space, as there was no point. everything was still everywhere much like it is now, except everywhere just so happened to be so close to one another to be at the same point on the graph. When time began, it just about instantly expanded out, everywhere in every direction. There is no ‘center’ to this expansion, just like if you blow up a balloon there is no center on the surface of the balloon, it just expands everywhere, and more importantly with time we are able to quantify this.
If I’m not mistaken your key is linked to your motherboard as well as your Microsoft account. So I think you should be fine. I just formatted my drive yesterday and it didn’t even ask me to type it in, I skipped that step and it verified once I logged in.
Super late reply to your question, but when you add Windows and punch in the key it links to the motherboard of the PC (laptop or desktop, doesn’t matter). Once you sign in to your Microsoft account, the key and mobo serial gets stored there. If you bought a new PC and with it a new motherboard you can find your key in your account or use the one on the back of your old laptop and delink it from your old device so that you can reuse it on your new one. It moves with your account.
Of you do a standard format, you shouldn’t have to worry, but if you ever upgrade your mobo, just make sure you get a screenshot of your serial in the windows settings and make sure you are logged in to your windows account (maybe check the account settings on a browser and see if you can find your devices, not sure of this is a necessary step… but just to make sure it’s linked I guess)… then once you format, you can punch in the old serial and log in, if it pops up a warning, it may ask you to migrate the serial and delete the old device or you may have a step or two on the Microsoft website to do this, I’m a bit hazy on the details as I did this a good 4 years ago, bit it wasn’t much of a headache.
I am working off not enough sleep, so this may already exist or be a bad idea, but this thread got me thinking and so I posted this idea on Mastodon:...
Functionally I think it could work well, shop listings are no different from posts but with a price and a buy link.
I don’t know if it would be a good idea as a few challenges immediately come to mind:
If your site hosted products from a decentralized web, how would you guard your site against bad actors or scams?
How would you be able to monitor stock?
How would you negotiate deliveries or a unified shopping cart?
How would you instill trust in a user that a product was legit and could be backed by a return or a guarantee?
How would you make sure your site maintained a perception of quality items?
For this to work, I imagine you would have to only Federate with store fronts you were actively affiliated with, ideally in your area or under the same delivery umbrella at which point you might as well have a unified store front. The decentralized aspect would probably create alot of hiccups and distrust you wouldn’t want anywhere near money changing hands.
I think a decentralized storefront would basically look a lot like AliExpress or Amazon if you went the store route, but without any big company backing or a unified delivery service. It could also be a large, even less trustworthy and hard to manage Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. It wouldn’t survive long.
What could work though is if you were partnered with a bunch of individual, small stores that each were making a name for themselves within a similar space. Their stores could feed products to a larger store that users could search and browse in, but be taken away from it back to the smaller store if they wished to purchase an item. I don’t think you would need Activity Pub for this, just a feed from the store with tags/thumbnails/descriptions/prices this could probably be handled with a plug in that linked their store to the larger site allowing their products to be searched.
Dear builder, Im the hardware store that sold you your bricks. I’ve decided that from January 2024, every time somebody enters a house that you built using my bricks, I will charge everytime they open the door.
The way you put it lays out the problem very well. Gender identity should be concerned with being women or men or the myriad of blends in between. Healthcare is concerned with male or female, and that doesn’t change even if surgery may make the situation complicated and need a specialist.
The doctor was clearly a bit of a cunt about it, but having him treat something that he’s not trained to do should not be an expectation. I imagine I would be a bit ticked off too if a male expected me to inspect their lady bits. It would be unethical for me to pretend to, to humor them, and it would put me in a very awkward situation to try dance around not hurting feelings or coming off as narrowminded. Gender identity should be left to social dynamics an specialists and left at the door of a doctor’s office.
Having said that a better approach from the gynaecologist would have been to tell them he has no training, but offer to look anyway and help them find a doctor in the area that could be more qualified.
Agreed. Chartering a giant polluting pleasure vessel full of rich people past the glacier melt and one of the most awful human caused disasters of our time actually makes me ill. We don’t deserve this planet. We are truly awful.
The Trump campaign may have violated United State copyright law by selling merchandise featuring the former president’s mugshot, legal experts have warned.
News articles can use media for ‘editorial’ purposes which has a slightly different usage rights subset to ‘commercial’ purposes which tend to be much more tied down. Having said that, I would have thought that seeing it’s his own mugshot and that it wasn’t taken by professional creative photographer and that it was forced upon him and released to the public domain, that he would be entitled to use it as he sees fit. It’s a picture of himself after all.
This almost feels like he’s being picked on because he’s so widely hated and that many people want to see him burn.
