  • You can ramble all you want, it still amounts to "I'm glad we didn't actually do anything to stop this because stopping it would have been worse somehow." Fucking grow up. You act like it's a foregone conclusion that things would have devolved, when it's categorically not. Brazil and South Korea were able to handle these situations without this pissing around "wE hAvE tO fOlLoW tHe pRoCeSs" because their processes actually fucking worked when the "process" in the USA has been broken for fucking decades already anyway. We already had two justice systems, Trump just made it visible to fucking middle class liberal white people who are somehow shocked that the shit that's been happening to minorities for fucking decades is now the norm. The system was already broken and built so the rich and powerful could exploit it and due to that we needed someone willing to throw a monkey wrench in the gears of that broken ass fucking system, not people piddling around and going "we just need to trust this totally fucking broken system that lets the wealthy buy their way out of consequences literally every time." Biden had that chance, he squandered it, and now you and him are both whinging about how fucking bad it is while taking zero responsibility for the fact that he fucked up majorly in numerous ways, including ways that didn't have to take four fucking years if we'd had an AG that wasn't a fucking "gimme" to the Republicans because he didn't get his Supreme Court spot. Oh boo hoo for Garland, he deserved that consolation prize so he could slow walk everything so he didn't "look political" while looking deeply political in helping fucking criminals get off scott free. Maybe if we hadn't been handing that motherfucker a consolation prize we might have an AG that did their fucking job and did it fast and with the seriousness it deserved and wouldn't have even needed Biden to get directly involved. There were so many fucking chances to do this within the bounds of the broken system you keep choking on the dick of, and yet, somehow, none of that happened because we hired the biggest pussy in history to be AG for no good fucking reason except to glaze the same Republicans who are busy trying to put us in camps. Jack Smith could have and should have been deployed day one not two fucking years later after pissing around going "shucks I just don't know what to do!" The fact that he wasn't is part of the evidence that the system is broken and built to fail everyone except the wealthy and powerful to begin with.

  • Ah yes all his horseshit about the bot problem and how he needed concrete numbers to solve the problem or "die trying."

    Since he still hasn't even begun to solve it I really hope he just fucking dies... Trying? Yeah let's go with that.

  • Yeah real glad we can see through it while people are being black bagged in the streets and held without cause and worse.

    Get your fucking head out of your ass.

    How many peoples lives need to be ruined so you can feel smugly superior?

  • Do you mean DisplayPort?

    Oh, so your Pixel, but not my Pixel.

  • You act like that shit isn't happening right now under Trump. I am pretty fucksure we are all well aware of the dangers.

    The point is not realizing if they didn't break some rules to stop him, Trump was gonna stomp all over every rule and has literally turned the DOJ into his own grievance chasing law firm.

    So yeah, it's literally happening right the fuck now so why should I give a shit about someone breaking the same rules to STOP this from becoming the norm. It sure as fuck is the norm now.

  • After the RT reviews of Melania came out it became impossible to argue that they aren't gamed to hell and back. No way to trust their reviews anymore. I would trust even Plex reviews over these.

  • Absolutely, it was at the height of the "software as a service" phase and they were doing rolling updates for the Windows Insider program. For a hot minute they absolutely planned on it just being "Windows" from then on.

  • Vaguely, for most of the places I've lived, but the memories aren't super clear, but I'm also probably between a 2 and a 3 on the aphantasia levels. So it not being super clear but a general idea of layout makes sense.

    Places like work are a lot less distinct, as are shared living spaces where I spent more time in my space and didn't go into other people's rooms. I worked in television for a long time, and I remember how the studios and control rooms for filming were generally laid out, I don't remember the organization for the rest of the building that I barely went into. I remember basically nothing at all about the first station I worked at, because they switched buildings and moved into a new space about a year after I started working there. I have a vague memory of the control room and studio, but it's a lot less clear than the others, which are also vague.

    I remember the layout of the park and pool that I worked at clearly, but that was one of my favorite jobs ever, so it tracks that I'd have a lot of memories of it. Also I worked alone so I had to cover the whole area instead of having areas that I wouldn't go into.

    I remember vaguely street layouts from places I've lived, but I usually have to go look at a map for a clearer picture in my mind how everything in the area was connected.

  • Lucky, what I wouldn't give to get my hands on a Mac with an Apple silicon chip.

    I don't have any suggestions, just...

  • I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

  • For sure, it's a vast improvement, but there's still so much you can't do with it.

    Mostly because unlike Bash and DOS, which are CLIs that get GUIs slapped on top, PowerShell is a CLI slapped on top of a GUI.

  • And they still haven't even finished making PowerShell anywhere near as functional as Bash or any other Linux shell environment. First version of PowerShell came out exactly 10 years after the first version of NT.

    I don't outright hate PowerShell but it's clearly a hacky afterthought after realizing Linux was eating their lunch in the server space via quick rollouts to thousands of computers at once through Bash scripting.

  • Right, but that's just it, they're basically pulling another Vista if they release Windows 12 later this year.

    It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.

    As the article reasonably posits, it's way more likely that they'll just degrade the experience for people without NPUs, which in other words means decreased performance on older hardware, a la Vista on non-compliant hardware. Yes, Vista fucked up rollout by claiming that some hardware was Vista ready when it wasn't, but basically the same could happen here regarding lack of NPUs.

  • They're already fucking this up with vibe-coding Windows 11, so if they seriously go all-in on this, Windows 12 will be a bigger disaster than fucking Windows Vista and Windows Millennium Edition combined.

    ...and frankly, I think they will. They've bet the farm on this AI shit, and they need to force it into everything to justify it's fucking existence even though Copilot is the most dogshit out of all these dogshit generative AI systems.

  • Windows 10 arguably became passable for stability about 3 years after release... but you still had to cut out the advertising bloat, spyware, and all which undermined any gains of stability because that shit was just fucking annoying.

  • Dude, they're still struggling with Windows 11 adoption because of the unreasonable requirements of a TPM 2.0 capable motherboard/CPU... and they are asking people to upgrade their CPUs again?

    They only started seeing real growth in Windows 11 numbers as of January of this year. Windows 11 finally hit 73% last month while Windows 10 is down to 27%. Linux continues to gain marketshare, and there's no telling if the reason that Win 11 is finally gaining marketshare is from people dumping Windows entirely for other options. Mac and Chromebook shares have been growing as well! It took Microsoft four and a half years from release to break 50% Win 11 adoption and they want to release Win 12 on year five while forcing more upgrades when half the people who got in just upgraded?

    This on top of trade wars, actual wars, and an AI arms race that is making buying PC parts obscenely overpriced... and they think people will fucking go for this?

    The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds. Even businesses won't want to upgrade this soon after many only just making upgrades to meet Windows 11 requirements just recently.... because businesses are also facing the same increased costs due to the above issues!

  • On top of the threat of Epstein, Trump has spent a lot of time talking about whether he will get into heaven lately. Coupled with the news that military leaders are saying that the strikes are to help Trump usher in the Christian Armageddon end times, it's also reasonable to think that Netanyahu coaxed Trump into thinking if he "helped God" he might actually get into heaven despite the child rape and murder.
