Eh, let’s not get to impressed:

Owning the libs became a lucrative strategy.

Of course, the left made it easy for them. The left really did purge conservatives from universities and other cultural power centers. The left really did valorize a “meritocratic” caste system that privileged the children of the affluent and screwed the working class. The left really did pontificate to their unenlightened moral inferiors on everything from gender to the environment. The left really did create a stifling orthodoxy that stamped out dissent. If you tell half the country that their voices don’t matter, then the voiceless are going to flip over the table.

But he almost stumbled onto class warfare:

This political moment isn’t populists versus elitists; it is, as I’ve written before, like a civil war in a prep school where the sleazy rich kids are taking on the pretentious rich kids.

Privacy, UI/UX, admin controls, ads, pop ups or notifications, nagging about online services, AI, forced account creation, not working with older hardware.

Might be worth testing Linux with a separate drive. I know people still have trouble with Nvidia, but there are a lot of people (myself included) that just had to install the drivers and have had zero issues thereafter. Mine is a slightly older gaming laptop.

I have a desktop with an AMD card that I tried to put Linux on and couldn’t get the drivers to work. I’m going to try again in the summer and hope they’ve caught up.

SLC has it tougher than most urban areas surrounded by rural religious blight.

In similar vein to what others have posted:

I think you’re describing a combination of stress and preoccupation. I suggest looking into mindfulness as a way to start helping with both.

If it’s more than that and you have healthcare, both a Dr visit and psychiatry visit to discuss with a professional could be helpful.

This is part of why penalties have maximums.

They could easily charge $200/file with a cap of $5M. Slap in the wrist for Facebook, ruinous for almost everyone else.

Clever reference to Dr Dre’s 1985 hit single “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” from his debut album Simple Minds. Truly is an unforgettable classic.

I suspect the point is not wether it is true but that it could be a message along the lines of a headline like “Does Tesla have a bedbug problem?”

Provide a public service?

I get where you’re coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as “never again”.

Barrett doesn’t lose though, their opinion has absolutely no effect on her.

She is either an ideologue, in which case her opinion is all that matters, or she’s up for sale, in which case this can drive up her bargaining price.

Unless she cares what the rabble thinks for some other reason I’m unaware of.

Zuck never cared to develop a following like Musk, so it makes sense that’s there is a not broad passive level of dislike.

Not surprised to see that the intense dislike is much higher for Musk though.

He would be a billionaire if he didn’t give so much away.

Meanwhile;

“Musk’s son declares Trump isn’t real president, needs to ‘go away’”

Hmmm, maybe it should be:

“Musk’s son slams Trump as not real, needs to ‘go away’”

My favorite apple auto correct: changing the word before the one you just finished. You mentally verify that it’s correct, type the next word, auto correct fucks up the next word and then retroactively fucks up the word you already moved on from. Absolutely brilliant interface.

It costs less money than hosting a payment processing center. By an order of magnitude.

I used Boost on Reddit and it was a great app.

Critics of the police state pointing and laughing doesn’t mean they’re suddenly fans.
