I've been using windows all my life and I've never seen anyone not say this about "their" version. Except ME. Fuck ME.

But seriously my dad refused to switch to Windows from DOS for the longest time. 95? The best. 98? Can't upgrade. Xp or die. 7 forever. 10 or bust. In 10 years it will be people clamoring over 11 and refusing to switch.

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.

In my experience, everything else on thinkpads can and will be abused by my users but the trackpoint is one thing I've never had to replace. Most of my new hires don't even know what it does.

I'm not confused why they're doing it, I'm confused why they think b&m stores are the way to go. I'm sure they can subsidize any potential losses from other money making areas but why not just sell the merch online? Storefront overhead ain't cheap.

If this is wrong I don't wanna be right

Batter? I hardly know'er

When you frame it a certain way of course it sounds awful. Let me try the opposite.

Lae'zel has been indoctrinated since birth by a crazy religious and xenophobic culture. The second she's told she's being lied to she doesn't believe anyone because people don't change their mind about their entire belief system through one line of dialogue from a person she just met.

However after a few more hard facts being shown to her, such as said religious culture trying to kill her and being lied to by the head of said fanatics, she realizes all of her people are actually indoctrinated slaves and starts to fight for the future of her people by rallying around the one person who can actually do something to stop it all.

Not sure why her breaking away from the brainwashing and indoctrination and trying to help free her people after seeing the truth is a bad thing here? Also fun fact, if Orpheus turns into a mind flayer and dies at the end she goes to free her people anyway, it wasn't just about him. She didn't just become a zealot following a new person, she became dedicated to freeing her people. Orpheus has that capability so she wants to free him.

Take a look at the Hong Kong protests. Twitter was a huge way to show the world what was going on. But also full of shills and bots sewing discord

Honestly at this point I can't tell if I'm happy or sad about things like Twitter going away. It was full of horrible discourse and bots and misinformation, but also helped a lot of people. Back in the day it was insanely helpful for directing large areas affected by disasters.

I just don't see the good uses of these platforms ever coming back from all these primadonna CEOs

Ow my eye! I'm not supposed to get Lemmy in it!

I have to imagine a lot of this "I'm done with woke star trek" crap is perpetuated by bots and shills. Post histories on Reddit for accounts saying these right wing talking points were either days old in response to some new Trek show or episode, or years old accounts that haven't posted in forever then suddenly posted a bunch of talking points in every thread they could find.

There were definitely legit accounts of people upset by new Trek for other reasons but far outnumbered by "anti wokester" puppet accounts. When it came to Twitter I wouldn't bat a lash if one out of every hundred accounts were bots. After noticing their trends they get easier to spot. It's the only thing that makes sense when the alternative is there are legions of trek fans that never noticed how progressive the shows were and suddenly decided to be angry in the past couple years.

For sure. My small city sub was hilarious. Always people asking "anyone know why there's a helicopter flying over our city?!"
