Uber has never turned a profit for 14 years. I’m guessing it’s windows central who is facing bankruptcy, intellectually speaking.

The triple lock is unsustainable. After a 10% boost because of inflation they’re about to get an 8% boost due to wage rises at a cost of 2.2b to workers. During a decade of stagnation they got the 2.5% boost creating an unsustainable debt.

We give more money to old people than defence, policing and education combined. You get less than 50% return on your taxes handed over.

It’s just not sustainable. These are exactly the people who should be paying tax in a fair society. Rejoining the EU and taxing a few companies won’t suddenly reduce the problems we have, it’s stupid to even suggest it given the gravity of our situation. We have the highest taxes in 75 years, a student loan puts your tax rate to 63%. Boomers got paid to go to uni. Our debt obligation is practically where it was after the Second World War.

People need wage rises to pay for housing that’s tripled in price since the 90s. Old people don’t have mortgages and they got help with their gas bills through other schemes… so why are you defending giving them 18% uplift when workers had to strike for just 6%?

I can’t find it now but I saw a meme that was the same template but it said:

Dude: I took a screenshot of the database Woman: you mean a snapshot …

It’s not they aren’t impacted only you “don’t see the impact” as noticeably.

Processor manufacturers target their devices and sales towards cloud computing so they have a huge incentive to avoid having issues like these. It’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Even if you resist TPM and WEI, if you don’t have WEI for whatever reason I don’t think you’ll be stopped from using Google services and YouTube.. you’ll probably face a shut ton more captchas and 2FA checks whilst it wears down your sanity.

Conspiratorial but has a string of possibility.

User: What are you doing?

Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.

User: Why?

Microsoft: No reason.

User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.

Microsoft: Oh we're not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.

A linux distro is a linux distro. It’s you, who invests the time to experiment and understand, who unlocks advanced features. There’s no shortcuts to learning Linux than to use it and read about it and install it many many times.

This is what happens when you use https for security but the certificate was generated on the server and not signed by anything further up the chain.

HTTPS security alone leaves you open to a man in the middle attack, which is sort of what the message is hinting at.

You could turn off https (therefore using http) which would suppress the message but means the content isn’t encrypted and could be sniffed by other machines on the same (wifi?) network, or you can just ignore it.

It was amazing but I was young and it was wonderful to discover. I think people have fond memories for it really.

It’s very similar to Lemmy, if not just the same thing done a different way. I think there were only upvotes (I can Digg it).

For young people discovering Lemmy, as it is now, and discovering Linux subreddits etc, they probably get the same enjoyment/attachment etc.

The redesign of Digg downplayed it’s communities and put mainstream media first (as if Kbins magazine tool was restricted to famous newspapers) and thus it immediately felt like the community had been fractured. Reddit was growing with peoples own blogs and it felt way more community oriented. This is where I think and hope Lemmy will also find its own community.
