Fully agree. Windows is trash spyware now that doesn't respect user choice.

I was really commenting more on the meme itself.

I hate it. It's why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.

Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

I have drawn myself as a chad and you as an ugly wojack so my position is clearly the correct one.

Windows users hate this one neat trick.

I'll admit, the reason I ended up reading the whole article were the words "Ben Schwartz."

Not with that attitude.

In the "never realized dreams" department, two of my friends and I had always hoped to see Electric Six live and hidden under our shirts have a big number six painted on each of our chests.

So halfway through the hot concert we could rip off our shirts for a 666 dance.

What games do you think should NEVER be remastered, because they're close to perfect as they are? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That was closer to a remaster of the original though, wasnt it?

Source: played the shit out of both. Seemed just like mostly ported to PC from PS2 to me. Reroll feels very accurate to the OG.

These cities are ending fares on transit. Here's why (www.cnn.com)

What's interesting about this article is what it leaves out. It cites experts who claim this is "diverts scarce resources from more pressing priorities: transit service and quality" yet that was far from the case in one of the cities cited in the introduction.

In Olympia, Washington, the city was needing to replace their fare-collection boxes. Fares accounted for 2% of the total transportation budget in Olympia, and when compared to the cost of installing and maintaining the fare-collectors, city officials realized they would only be breaking even. Why even collect fares if you end up with no gain? Is it really "diverting money" when the high cost of implementing the tools to collect fares costs as much or more than you will gain from fares?

Local Olympia Newspaper on Olympia dropping fares in 2019: https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article237257744.html

Those fares net less than 2 percent of IT’s operating revenue. Meanwhile, IT’s fare collection boxes need to be replaced. The agency says it looked at switching to a card-based payment system but most cost at least $1 million to introduce.

It would cost about that for IT to start using ORCA, the payment system used on buses in King and Pierce counties and elsewhere in the region.

“It basically is a wash in terms of what we collect and what we would have to pay for the capital investment and for the operational investment to collect money. Because it costs a lot of money to collect money,” said Ann Freeman-Manzanares, IT’s general manager. “And if at the end it’s pretty much a wash, why are we doing it when we have all these incredible benefits to gain?”

Those include a potential increase in ridership, speeding up service, and attracting businesses to the area with the promise of “free” transit.

Terraria's devs have been trying to stop developing Terraria for years, but they just can't quit (www.pcgamer.com)
 

Terraria is gearing up for its 1.4.5 patch, the latest major update in 12 years of continued support from developer Re-Logic. If you're thinking to yourself, "Wait, I thought this game got its final update" already, you would be right⁠—Re-Logic has been considering moving on to its next project for around eight years now.
