I think a lot of people here are missing the point that in a court legal != pro-consumer. The US has monopoly laws that Apple (annoyingly) follows but Google does not.

Realistically sanctions make them bad us good narrative very easy to sell for fascists.

Realustically-ier, the west is banking too hard on selling in the Indian market to piss off the Indian govt.

Lol no, not for this one. This was scammy from the start. The weird thing is they had decent games out before this. Why would they intentionally screw up so badly idk.

what's your best "insecure boss" story? (lemmy.world)

The image is formatted in a tweet with image format. The caption says “handle with care” over two pictures. The first picture is of an Amazon package with “fragile” written in sharpie. The second picture is on the inside the box with a paper and the text “a middle manager’s ego” on it.

My manager missed a pretty useless meeting due to a genuine personal reason, but I did attend. When we met up to update him on what happened, he talked for 15 mins out of 20 about how he’d have taken care of everything if he was there. He even sent out 3 - 4 emails to the organizers apologizing, they didn’t care too much.

If you spend more time apologizing for missing a meeting than the actual meeting took, that screams insecure to me.

Edit: a week later 25% of managers his level were laid off. He probably knew what was going to happen, wondering if he was on the chopping block

Monkey’s paw: now every app becomes subscription based

kippinitreal ,

I think it might be notifications for group chats they’re in. Maybe spread over multiple apps? Anecdotally I remember having the same friend group on multiple apps, with a couple of members missing/added in each. So many times the same topic create double or triple notifications. But 5000 is insane…

You know what’s most depressing? Statistically people reading this comment (people who have access to computers/phones + the internet) will have little to mild effects of climate change, compared to the BILLIONS that will perish. Humans will survive all this, but at the cost of unimaginable suffering from the silent/silenced poor.

kippinitreal ,

Difficult to predict the future, anything is likely. But my point was if humans do survive, it’ll only be the priveleged few. Even in the last days of humanity, those who have the means will survive longer

I always find this “money doesn’t buy you happiness” argument really strange & pointless. In your scenario where are the rest of us? Dead & gone a long long time ago. There’s little meaning in having the moral high ground when we’re all dead.

What I feel gets overlooked a lot is money equates to capital & opportunity. Their “stacks kd cash” have real power right now. They can leverage just the existence of that to do what they want. Take Elongate Muskrat as a prime example and how he bought his website keeping stock as collateral (not even selling it).

Which makes its extremely important to not leave the rich with their money. Now is when that money actually has value, we need to tax the ever living fuck out of the ultra rich and start thinking about saving as many people as we can.

I also understand I am part of the 1-5% of the world’s population and am ready to pay and make others like me pay as well. And I am definitely not alone.

Can you explain why “community system” is bad? Genuinely curious, since the word community sounds like it’s not controlled by corpo interests

kippinitreal ,

That makes sense, thank you. My question above was specifically about Debian, since I’ve heard the point of it being community based used negatively in other places/threads too.

India's Defence Ministry to switch from Windows to locally built Ubuntu fork 'Maya' over security concerns (www.thehindu.com)

Due to increasing concerns over cyberattacks and malware, India’s Defence Ministry has decided to replace Microsoft’s OS with a locally made Ubuntu fork named Maya (meaning ‘deception’ in Sanskrit). Maya will have an interface similar to Windows to ease the transition, and an end-point detection and protection system...

kippinitreal ,

I don’t think so. One of the groups actively exploiting vulnerabilities are governments. You could add a backdoor only you know. I don’t think anything is better for security that popular FOSS distros/OS-es

Absolutely
