If it were real the machine would have rebooted for a forced update and taken 45 minutes to complete before it was usable again.

sugartits ,

That’s a face only a mother could love.

sugartits ,

If it were that simple they would have done it.

It’s sometimes (very often) not as simple as asking the compiler to switch architecture and hit the go button.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser (www.windowslatest.com)

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

I remember when someone posted a joke Slashdot with a fake screenshot of Windows advising a user to switch away from Firefox and back to IE.

Everyone lost their minds on what was an obvious joke. An unthinkable thing for Microsoft to do.

Yet here we are…

sugartits ,

Yes, it was a while ago. Hence Slashdot and Internet Explorer.

When Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart says they are serious, then you better believe that Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart is being serious and take it seriously!

says it will prioritize security

Heard this so many times before.

Google doesn’t control the Linux kernel.

Ok, let’s assume (for the sake of argument) that everything is on the up-and-up, and Microsoft will behave in a completely equitable and user-friendly way with regard to this feature going forward

This is so fantastical that there’s no point in even having the hypothetical discussion about it.

sugartits ,

It might be super secure and really useful.

It’s not.

sugartits ,

You’re right, it’s fantastical, but it’s still worth talking about.

Is it though?

It’s a feature which is very clearly evil and of very little benefit to the user. Only a shit business like Microsoft would even attempt it, lie about it being secure, then make it “optional” (and we all know what that means) and it will still be an insecure mess when it’s done, sucking down resources from a machine I purchased for no benefit to myself.

The “feature” by it’s current definition can only be conceived of by a piece of shit organisation like Microsoft.

No need to separate the art from the artist in this case, as they are perfectly aligned.

Watch: Adobe angers artists with new Photoshop terms (techcrunch.com)

Artists got an unpleasant surprise when they opened Photoshop this week, as they were shown a pop-up window asking them to agree to new terms of service. Among the changes: Adobe now says it has the right to access customers’ content through “automated or manual methods.”...

When it’s for work, no, don’t do this. techspot.com/…/forever-21-gets-caught-pirating-ph…

When it’s for personal and you don’t agree with the pricing or whatever… Just use something else. There is plenty of choice out there.

sugartits ,

You decadent young whippersnappers have no idea.

16kb of RAM, z80 CPU. That’s how we did it in my day.

You don’t know you’re born.

I bow down to you, greybeard

Depends on the VPN and what Discord has detected and associated with the IP it saw logging in.

I’ve used discord with a VPN without issue. But I was banned from a forum because someone else logged in with the same VPN provider I was using and started posting CSAM.

YMMV

sugartits ,

Yay, yet more disgusting Frankenstein science. Just what we need.

sugartits ,

No, I’m able to form my own opinions.

Try it some time.

sugartits ,

What’s wrong with putting human brain cells into processors?

Really?

sugartits ,

slow clap

Well done. Your mother must be so proud of your ability to pointlessly “insult” people you disagree with instead of even attempting to see the other side.

sugartits ,

Using human brain cells to power processors is fine with you?

Those “human brain cells” is what makes us, us. It’s what makes humans human.

Growing them in a lab to put into the PlayStation 10’s CPU (or whatever) is a disgusting perversion and raises very real ethical questions.

How many cells until we go from CPU to ‘living being’? Do these cells feel pain? When would they get the capability? How would we even know?

You could have just thought about it for a second, as actually, “Frankenstein science” sums it up pretty well.

Do you understand now?

So yes, there is a very real downside to this “progress” and saying stupid shit about imaginary friends to a stranger online in a pathetic attempt to insult won’t make them go away. But you do you, I guess, ‘dude’

sugartits ,

I wasn’t asked to present anything or elaborate. I instead was insulted.

But sure, if that’s how you want to justify it, you go right ahead.

sugartits ,

Wow, you really made an effort here to sound extra condescending. To answer your questions.

My first interaction with you was a negative one when you decided to be a condescending dickhead instead if interacting with me in good faith. Ergo, you got it back.

Don’t be all surprised pickachu.gif when you get treated in the same way. Dickhead.

Edit: I’m blocking you now. I won’t see your response. Continue to be an asshole if you want, I won’t be wasting another second on you.

sugartits ,

Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to be rude to strangers online.

But here we are.

sugartits ,

I have defined my position elsewhere. You are free to find it in this thread if you care, I lack the motivation to type it again.

Turning off notifications on this thread now as I’m bored of people being assholes (you weren’t one of them).

sugartits ,

Yes. It’s very very real and is just a typical Microsoft bullshit move.

No gonna lie, that headline sounded like a setup to a joke.

AmigaOS 1.3 or bust.

I will die on this hill.

Okay.

Don’t use it then.

You’re not using it, right?

Pardon me Sir/Madam,

This is Lemmy.

All everyone does is shit on YouTube because they can no longer easily grab content without paying for it and they expect YouTube to constantly serve them content forever for free because “I’m SuRe GoOgLe CaN aFfOrD iT”

MY EYES! MY EYYYYEEEESSSS! You son of a bitch!

Even Best Korea makes mistakes sometimes…

Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....

sugartits ,

The screen is measured diagonally.

The screen width won’t be 13 inches.

sugartits ,

The laptop won’t be 13.3 inches either.

sugartits ,

Buy Nvidia shares. they’re making the shovels…

sugartits ,

My counter offer would be: fuck right off. Don’t care what you think you can do sanction or punish me.

sugartits ,

Confusing thing #1 was actually a smart move.

Reform party, who has been a bunch of useful idiots and have been diluting the Tory vote significantly have not got enough members in place to stand in every location as this will be their first general election and they are a new party.

The SNP has only just picked a new leader after the previous one stepped down and they have fallen out of favour in recent times.

Labour (main competition) was not expecting anything until November time as the running theory is that the Tories would wait for a bit to see if something would “come up” and rescue their awful polling (as per your suggestion). So even they were caught off guard and now have to scramble to organise everything. This shit isn’t easy, even for established parties.

Hell, even the Tories were caught off guard by their leader doing this.

Sunak has played an interesting card here. I doubt it will make any difference but at least he is being somewhat clever with the surprise timing of this.

sugartits ,

From the article:

And when there’s a power outage, the PowerStream will turn off automatically to ensure there’s no electricity in the wires in order to protect line workers from shock. The PowerStream will only turn back on when the grid power returns.

Then you can just use the sockets already present on the device.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

Welcome to the Internet. You must be new here.

sugartits ,

Just pay the extra for unlimited searches. It’s not much money, especially if it’s a tool for work.

sugartits ,

Well, sure, but it doesn’t change the facts on the ground that you can shoot whatever you like at a nuke and it’s exceptionally unlikely to explode.

But if you just want to scream “bullshit” for no reason in the face of the facts then I guess there isn’t much point in continuing. Not sure why you just choose to believe whatever you want, but I guess I can’t stop you.

sugartits ,

She said “lol”

Like actually said “lol”. As if it was a word.

Didn’t laugh. Like, she replaced her laughing with this, saying “lol” when she found something funny.

sugartits ,

Imagine that… But it going so far that you actually lose the ability to laugh and instead use “lol”

Yeah. It was that.
