Trump is an asset too, or he has been historically. It makes me wonder what’s changed that Putin’s lesser proxies are having to go against the god-king. I seriously don’t know what’s up or down anymore.

Edit: I feel like this is all being wound up on purpose. I don’t know what the endgame is. None of it makes any fucking sense.

I came here to post a screed a bit like this, but you did it so eloquently I don’t have to, so thanks! A perfect take, imo.

Yeah and of course, you can also just ram the thing into the ground. I’d hate to think this was a deliberate act, but it’s certainly possible.

Christ I have to stop browsing Lemmy in the middle of the night.

So I know there has to be a reason why these switches are vitally important but doesn’t it seem weird that you can take a catastrophic action like turning the fuel supply off when you’re in mid-takeoff? If you try and put a modern car in reverse at 65 MPH, the car is like “haha no” and ignores you.

It’s not the water-handing-out in and of itself. Also, yeah these people often suck and enforcement often makes them look like the tools they are, but make no mistake about it, there are people that like it that their neighborhoods are policed by Karens who keep it looking like a sterile movie set. The moral of the story is, stay the fuck away from HOAs.

Here are two common clauses that are probably being applied here:

Residential Use All Lots within the Properties shall be used, improved, and devoted exclusively to single-family residential use. No trade, business, commercial activity, or profession of any kind, whether for profit or not, shall be conducted, maintained, or permitted on any part of any Lot without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. This prohibition shall include, but not be limited to, any activity that generates regular visitor or client traffic to the Lot.

Prohibition of Signs No sign, billboard, poster, or advertising device of any character shall be erected, placed, permitted, or maintained on any Lot or on the exterior of any Dwelling, except for one (1) “For Sale” or “For Rent” sign of a type, size, and location approved by the Architectural Control Committee, and small signs identifying the occupant’s name or address as permitted by the Committee. All other signs are expressly prohibited without prior written approval from the Board.

Microsoft gave me a free copy so I checked it out. It sucks.

This is a fantastic video. I spend less and less time on Reddit now because every time I’m there I eventually get struck with a “this isn’t real people” feeling after reading something. It will always be either mundane repetitive bullshit or yet another post demanding civil war or stoking a feeling of helplessness.

Lemmy and Mastodon are slow AF but they still feel mostly real.

Proton cannot even link to FAQ or customer support pages from its apps, as Apple believes it’s possible that users will then navigate from the support page to a pricing page and upgrade their accounts without paying Apple its fee.

I didn’t realize this either.

Yeah, this also is why Apple has been so sluggish on PWAs (and why they won’t allow third party browsers). There is literally nothing that can be done in an app that can’t be done quicker and easier as a PWA these days. But how is Apple going to make any money if you can publish your own app and take your own payments? They would then become a hardware vendor and that would absolutely ruin them as a company.

Apple will throw everything they’ve got at this to attempt to maintain the status quo.

Man, it’s wild to see them go from one-child to this in a single generation.

You started your quest for good faith engagement with “Wtf you on about?”

You’re not just a corporate simp, you’re a hypocrite as well. I don’t want to engage in conversation with people like you, there’s no point.

Thank you for repeating the talking points.

Oh look we’re back to the “open source software can’t survive on its own without gobs of money and million-dollar CEOs wah wah wah” again.

You think this is a half assed remake? To me this feels like a significant upgrade (and not just to graphics) while maintaining the core experience and I’m kinda shocked at how good it is.
