@geotechland I wonder if you can change an IP address yet, or if you still need to open a windows 3.1 program for that.
@FediFollows In my opinion, this should be the future of computing. Everyone should have one.
Have any of you guys used software for work that's so undeniably bad that you're sitting there going "How are these guys still in existence as a company?" but it's the most popular X on the market?
@selea Unfortunately, western governments and media contributed to this by explicitly lying every step of the way when it was convenient.
A little honesty would have gone a long way.

@selea Using pseudoscientific crap to placate the masses is not a historical oddity for the CCP.

@Synclair Anyone who trusts science doesn't know the point of science.
If you have faith in science, that's not science, that's a religion you created that pretends to be science.

@coyote @grumbulon Absolutely isn't evil. Honestly, the whole "cultural appropriation as evil" thing is actually racist nonsense made by people who are looking to be mad about things that aren't worth being mad about.
I can 100% guarantee that the Korean family running the Chinese food restaurant didn't build their shop thinking that 95% of customers should be excluded, and I'm certain that if some white idiot came in and started trying to chase off all their non-Chinese customers the cops would be called pretty quickly. The point of opening the restaurant was to make money from anyone who wants Chinese food.
It's a philosophy that can only lead to the opposite of what anyone who wants progress would want -- a ghettoization of culture and an isolation of different people from different things just because someone with a different skin color discovered or invented it.

@grumbulon Chinese Restaurants are appropriation. They don't sell Chinese food there, they sell Chinese-American food where the Chinese immigrants took American cooking techniques and foods and created a new cooking style.
I'm seeing article after article saying "people have savings since the pandemic! It sure would be a good thing if everyone spent all those savings right now!"
Man.... Save your money. Don't hold it as cash, put it into some sort of asset that'll appreciate because stagflation is coming and it'll be hard if you pissed your only savings away because some journalist told you to.

For the record, memes be damned -- GameStop is a shitty scuzzy company that deserves to die and it doesn't matter how much capital they raise it will because their business model relies on an obsolete method of selling products.

@lobsters "sometimes".
Not every time someone connects a couple wires to a lightbulb is someone engaging in electrical engineering, and not every time someone slams out some shitty code is someone engaging in software engineering.

@boilingsteam One of my peeves with windows at the moment. And their new stuff isn't any better -- You still can't consistently set an IP address from the settings app. It's been 6 years, heads should be rolling.
If all the people who aren't fucking losers want to come together under the banner of whiteness, I say let them.
I'm ok with this. All the blacks, the asians, the indigenous, people of any race who aren't fucking losers, you are our brothers. Let's live the amazing life that comes from not being fucking losers and let the woke losers divide each other.
