I’ve noticed a LOT of pushback against the ads in MS shit. Microsoft has become greedy (well what am I saying, they’ve always been, kist really effin more greedy now) and somehow seems to invest even less in development. All Microsoft apps I see today are just painfully painfully bad. Again, not that they’ve ever been particularly good at anything besides keyboards, but lately it’s been comically worse.
I’ve seen Linux desktop grow significantly now, and I really do see it happen that Linux crosses that threshold where there is just no more stopping it
I’m sure there are some closed softwares left worth paying for but personally I would stop paying for all of it.
The only software left that I pay for is phpstorm and it’s buggy as hell and for every bug report I get a “well, nobody really cares”. Then what the hell am I paying for?
Well I’m paying for features not found in other systems but seriously, it soeerds my work up by 300% and slows it down by 200% due to the extreme amount of bugs… it’s not acceptable for a paid product but unfortunately there is no good alternative open source product yet.

They’ve been pushed around (read: mistreated, suppressed, tortured and randomly killed) for decades and now they’re being killed en masse in a genocide. Can you really balme them for not minding at all seeing israelis die?
Worst of all, anyone saying that any of Israels actions are bad is made out to be a genocidal maniac right next to Hitler, by those actively executing a genocide right here, right now.
Yes, it’s bad, but I get it, I get the sentiment, and you can’t tell me it’s that hard to understand the feeling.
In all honesty, I think it is not unfair to say that the Israeli population is more complicit in all of this than the Palestinians. What is the excuse of the Israelis? Palestinians were second or third rank citizens for decades, being randomly killed, tortured or disappeared. What is the Israelis excuse? That eventual missile that came flying over and got taken down by the iron dome? Don’t make me laugh.
Jews were treated horribly during WWII, there is no excuse for what happened. Equally, the Israeli government -and by extension, the Israeli population- has no excuse for what they are doing now. That Hamas attack IS NO EXCUSE. Hundreds of innocent civilians were brutally raped and murdered, and you use that as an excuse to brutally kill tens of thousands innocent civilians, thousands of them being children, allowing rape and torture, displacing millions, denying any help to those dying from hunger… I mean, I’m sorry, but THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG.
Yes, Hamas was wrong, yes, yes, a thousand times yes, and let’s hang all Hamas members from the highest tree but ONLY if we hand the Israeli government officials right next to them and immediately and unconditionally make Israel stop ALL the brutality against the Palestinians, allow them to move freely about abs that you start teaching Israeli children about the horrors you subjected the Palestinians to, just like the Germans did with their children for decades.
If you think it’s bad now, for you, for Palestinians, for whoever, wait until Trump is in power. He’ll commit actual genocide, as in wipe them all out, as he claimed anyways, he’ll install himself as a dictator, as he claimed, and I’m not even starting with that Republican 2025 document that would like to make America into Gilead.
So shit up, swallow your pride, vote Biden. as soon as Biden is elected, protest all you want, block roads, whatever, but for now, vote Biden if you want the world to at least survive the next four years semi recognizably.

That is not what most here say when they talk about it. It’s immediately “working for a salary is slavery!” (Literally that I’ve been told literally dozens of times now here)
Everyone can agree with the second paragraph, most people here subscribe to the first paragraph, though.
With your reasoning there isn’t a problem either with bringing a nuclear bomb into a bar. What? I’m not setting it off! I’m just sitting here enjoying my drink with my nuke right next to me. I’m not bothering anyone, so why is the entire town running in fear? Pussies! That’s what I say. It’s not like I’m going to use this…
Yeah you have no idea what the ICC is or what it does, nor what this warrant implies. You really believe that the ICC has done nothing? You should do some reading.
This warrant won’t go away and the countries that this guy can still visit with this warrant will b extremely limited. This also puts much more pressure on Israel as he is now officially lumped in with other convicted war criminals. This is a good thing ™
Yeah, for some reason too many people are having difficulty understanding that in this case, yes, the both side argument works quite well. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are horrible with the citizens on both side suffering
Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....
Are you really that daft that you think police under trump will be more responsible and more, you know, doing their actual job of protect and serve, instead of profiling and killing?
Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....
It’s just that at this point it’s like “wolf trying to eat three little piggies”, no shit, really? Yes you’re right, this is news but I’m so sick of having to hear the obvious. Give me the news where he died of coronary heart disease, which he will soon enough, or a drug overdose, which i also see very likely.
Until then it will be more me stamping my bingo card, because of course he does <insert something horrible here>, than reading actual news
Yeah shit on the US all you want but for all it’s horrific shortcomings, I prefer the US a hundred times over, say, China or Russia and so do you, you just don’t know it yet, apparently.
Yeah say that again keeping in mind that the US regularly has killed civilians in the past, sometimes by mistake, sometimes as expected collateral. Sounds a bit hollow, then.
Obama was authoritarian? I’m intrigued; Exactly what mental gymnastics are you using to get that idea in your head?
Few simple facts. Obama served twice. First time he won, and he had to campaign again to be elected a second yime.Second time he couldn’t run again for the third time, so he didn’t.
Where exactly do you see authoritarian? Fox news quotes not allowed for answers here, I don’t need sad lies. Simple facts, what did Obama do to be authoritarian?
Second reply as the first was just … Trying to understand your mental state.
Trump claimed multiple times that he loves and admires dictators. Not my claim, his. Trump said he wants to be a dictator. He said he wants to be a dictator for one day. This week he said he would like to add a third term for himself (against your precious constitution that you always love to ignore when it’s inconvenient)
No other president in the history of (mostly rather shitty) presidents has ever done any of those things.
And you want to steer away from Trump to another president when talking about authoritarian?
The guys literally told you he wants to be a dictator, why won’t you believe him?
Why has the US collectively been taking crazy pills making conversations like these even necessary in the first place? What is wrong with you people…
